McCain Institute's Failure To Use Donations For Anti-Trafficking Purposes Raises Questions
Disbedient Media ^ | 3/8/2017 | William Craddick

Posted on 03/08/2017 3:30:27 PM PST by GregNH

Questions about John McCain’s foundation have arisen amid revelations that, for the last several years the foundation has not been using its donations, instead depositing small amounts of their large endowment into the Arizona State University Foundation. This issue has added importance when considered in the context of John McCain’s controversial sources of funding and the arrest of a number of past campaign workers on charges such as child abuse and drug trafficking.

With the connections that the McCain Institute enjoys, the expectation would be that they would be using their generous endowments, ample staff and influence to make meaningful strides in the fight against human trafficking. But an inspection of their finances reveals that this is not the case.

No, this article is bogus. I have absolutely no use for McCain at all, but it is common for an endowment to be established with funds whereby the projected annual profits or income on that endowment fund something, with the idea that it then has the resources to fund at that same level year after year.

You can look up the foundation’s 990s on GuideStar and see that its $8M endowment is held in stocks and the like. That is just about the right amount to have for spinning off support for a half million a year program such as the one it fund at the University of Arizona-about 6% in annual passive income. (That is why charities are often required to spend 5% on their mission each year.)

Makes me wonder what connections the McCain Institute has to the Reform Institute?

The point is that he is not using the money for it’s stated mission.

Instead of Obamacare lite — it’s Clinton Foundation lite. McCain is a pale imitation of the lib/commie Democrats in everyway — even in his corrupt practices. No wonder he likes the neo Commie Democrats so much. With them, this is much for “Johhby wetstart” to admire.

Why doesn’t Pres. Trump get some information of Vladimir Putin on “songbird’s” time in Hanoi? That should make for some interesting commentary.

I wish the hell they would have left him alone back in the 80’s. He could have collected enough in additional bribes from Charles Keating to have retired long ago.
