Clinton pictured above with ACORN founder Wade Rathke (found by tina07).

The tax-exempt Clinton Foundation had just donated $250,000 to ACORN.

The tax-exempt Clinton Foundation provided $275,000 in grants for ACORNS’S "Katrina Benefits Access project" and ACORN'S "Operation Hope Project; Restore Hope."

The tax-exempt Clinton Foundation also helped secure private sector commitments for ACORN.

===============================================

REFERENCE The IRS has pinpointed tax-exempt "foundations and charities" as the locus classicus for tax evasion and money laundering. The BIGGEST tax-exempt fraud --- a tax-exempt foundation writing checks to a tax-exempt charity (the way crooks look "altruistic" as they siphon off tax-free money for personal uses).

NOTE Wade's brother Dale stole $1 million from ACORN--no charges were filed.

How to fight poverty and live like a king
The American Thinker | September 27, 2009 | Thomas Lifson
FR Posted September 28, 2009 by Scanian

The image of ACORN as a racketeering organization just got another boost from court records revealed in the New York Post. Dale Rathke, brother of the founder Wade Rathke was charging lavish spending to the family business. Ginger Adams Otis of the Post reports: "American Express filed a claim against Rathke in 2003 in Louisiana civil district court.

Among the court papers is a partial credit history that indicates Rathke had several different cards from different companies. He used them to shop at places like Gucci and Neiman Marcus, where he spent $1,003 and $1,742 respectively on July 6, 2000. He visited Gucci at least three other times that year, spending $968, $3,631 and $718, the credit report shows.

In November, he traveled to New York, renting a limo and plunking down $2,000 for a stay at the Waldorf-Astoria and $700 for a gourmet dinner at La Cote Basque." (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...


"That whitey Ratke was eatn' at Cote Basque? "

"All's I got was chitlin's, corn bread, pig's feet and this orange dashiki."

" Course there are all those numbered accounts in Zimbabwe."

I hope some FReepers who have said that they wish Hillary had won keep this in mind.

The Clintons are the exactly the same thing as Obama, but in the 8-track version.

And they manage to look like altruistic do-gooders in the process.

I'm suuuuure that U.S. AG, Eric Holder, is all over this.

I'd even wager he even has a Nation Wide Task Force of FBI Agents and US Attorneys set up looking into ACORN for RICO violations. After all, AG Holder is a man of integrity, good moral character, and believes in the "Rule of Law".

Really.

Honest.

I mean it.

Yes, I'm 'series'!




oh hell ...

Clinton Foundation is TAX EXEMPT (of course)....ACORN is not (I’m SHOCKED), but this “gift” is TAX EVASION for the donors.

Clinton pictured with ACORN founder Wade Rathke
after donating $250,000 to ACORN (pic found by tina07).

The pic would be enhanced photoshopped with ballon comments:

"Wade, don't forget my numbered offshore account."

"Don't worry Bill, soon as we get rid of these ACORNS, the wire transfer wil go out."

Senate Finance Committee Study ACORN comprises a mind-boggling 94 different affiliates, that amounts to "a big shell game," a biting Senate Finance Committee study shows.

The study, by the staff of Iowa Republican Charles Grassley, reveals four ACORN charity groups give more than half their revenue to taxable entities that engage in "impermissible lobbying and political activity."

ACORN and it’s subsidiaries for decades have moved taxpayer money into their own pockets and into the left-wing Marxist machine.

Sen Charles Grassley's documents show leaders of ACORN community groups transferred several million dollars in charitable and government money-----meant for the poor---- to parts of the group that have political (and sometimes profit-making) missions.

Sen Grassley's documents indicate that ACORN's tax-exempt groups----along with its tangled web of allied organizations---- used more than half their charitable and public money in 2006 to pay other ACORN affiliates.

Can the FBI can pull themselves away from the "lone wolf who uses the "N" word" long enough to look into these LARGE ACORN CRIMES...

Don't count on it - they're as PC as the MSM. Maybe 25 year old O'Keefe and 20 year old Hannah can expose this...

10,000 agents and 5,000 journalist looking for a conservative who uses the "N" word... O'Keefe and Hannah going after the rest of the criminals...

And didn't you just love it when this paragon of virtue, Eric (I Pardoned The Biggest Tax Cheat In US History) Holder, told us we were a " nation of cowards" (WRT race)?
