In an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Monday, Bloomberg’s John Heilemann took issue with the Clinton Foundation’s practices.

Heilemann told hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough that the Clintons threw the disclosure rules between them and the Obama administration “out the window.” The Bloomberg host added that Bill Clinton’s post-White House life has been scarred by “a carelessness in discipline, and some degree of greed.”

“There was a concern about this [conflicts of interest] when Hillary Clinton became the secretary of state,” Heilemann said. “Another concern that the Obama administration and the Clintons devised an elaborate set of rules that were supposed to govern how — what he was allowed to do with the foundation. And now it is clear, on at least some occasions, that those rules were thrown out the window.”

“And so, whether or not they broke the law — Speaker [Newt] Gingrich is very adamant that they broke a law — I’m not as clear about that, but what is obvious is that the — even just by the stipulations that they had with the administration, those have been broken, things were not disclosed that were supposed to be disclosed,” Heilemann said.

“President Clinton’s post-presidency has been marked by a carelessness in discipline, and some degree of greed that, I think, are now a huge problem,” he added.
