The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
So she takes the fees, and donates them to a closely held family foundation? And that is supposed to show us that she is not actually getting the money? Really???
Are they really trying to insult our intelligence??? Or do they assume that critical masses of people are so dumbed down as to accept this explanation?

But this leaves it unclear whether the university administrators who invited Hillary in the first place will still be in consideration for positions in the next Clinton administration or not.
If she wants to donate, why doesn’t she donate to the university, help some of those kids out with their $tens of thou debt bills?
These kids had better not buy this lame excuse. Of course they’ll have to , on the outside
I’d like to see her give it to my foundation! But seriously, she should give that money to the poor. She and Bill, like reverends Jesse and Al, and so many others have gotten filthy rich by helping the poor.
Funding their leftist "charity"?
How generous of her.
Why doesn’t she simply ask for them to donate themoney to the foundation directly then?
These friggin’ Arkansas grifters are quite the pair. Liars to the bone....
All of the fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and life-saving work.”
:::::::::::
Yeah, for the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic. Very “life-changing”. So....WHAT DOES IT MATTER??
I thought she was dead broke.
I gotta get me one of them thar, ‘Foundations’ right after I get me one of them thar Huntin’ Licenses!
Democrats ARE a Criminal Enterprise!
she gave the money to their foundation...which pays her, Bill, & Chelsea big time...
She did, to the I love Hillary fund.
She donates the income to the Clinton Foundation. She of course is a trustee of the Foundation, so she draws a salary and expenses ... oddly enough, in an amount just about equal to the amount she donates.
Yeah, the life saving work of killing babies.
“Stop The Bleeding”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
donated to her own foundation!?
at least her hubby donated his used underware to an outside, real charity!
(from an old Mike Royko column:)
Bill Clinton would donate his used shorts to Salvation Army or Goodwill resale shops and take a $4 tax deduction for each pair.
And it has since been revealed that he gave away long underwear and valued it for tax purposes at $12 per long john. (I don’t know if they were with or without back flaps, or whether it matters.)
This filled me with admiration for Clinton’s financial acumen, and regret that my father didn’t have the means to send me to Yale Law School so I could become that smart.
Not that I think a Yale education would have led me to the White House, but it would have given me an appreciation for the underlying value of my underwear.
Because I am older than Clinton, I’ve been paying income taxes a lot longer: since I was 16.
All those years, I bought underwear, wore it, threw it away, bought new underwear, wore it, threw it away. I can’t even guess how many hundreds or thousands of pairs of underwear I discarded over those decades.
And it pains me to think of all the tax dollars I could have retained. Why, by now I could be retired and taking brisk daily health walks in Florida or Arkansas. But it isn’t too late. Not for me or you.
There are 250 million people in this country. Many are infants in diapers, which might not have any tax value, but the majority are adults who own underwear. Most of us live within driving distance of some sort of charitable resale outlet.
So I would guess that at least 150 million Americans have used underwear that they could give away.
A conservative guess would be that each person replaces at least five or six pairs a year.
That would be about 900 million pairs of underwear. Almost a billion.
If we use the $4 value that Clinton placed on his underwear, we are now talking about $3.6 billion.
Then there are all those hardy souls in the wintry states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, the Dakotas, upstate New York, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and all through New England.
Think of the millions of pairs of long underwear that are worn in these states. At $12 a long john, we’re talking big-time money.
So the potential write-offs for the nation’s used underwear would easily exceed $4 billion.
How much money would American taxpayers save with the underwear write-off? We can make a conservative guess and say the average bracket would be about 25 percent.
That means Americans could save $1 billion in taxes from used underwear alone. That’s $1 billion in our pockets, $1 billion we could put back into the economy by buying things. Maybe even new underwear. Why, that pair of shorts is almost a symbol of patriotism.
However, there could be a slight problem. Most tax experts say that $4 for briefs and $12 for long johns are outrageously inflated deductions.
And a survey I did of Arkansas thrift stores established that used underwear sells for about two bits, or maybe 50 cents.
But who do you want to believe? Some accountant or thrift store manager?
So give those skivvies away and write them off.
And if you get audited, it should be no problem. Just tell the tax guy:
“Hey, Bill sent me.”
Gerbalist Kreutz does a pretty good job here pointing out Hillary’s shocking demeanor, laughing about how she got the child rapist acquitted, and as well Hellary lying about having been appointed his counsel in `Living History.’
The Clinton Foundation! LOL!
