Clinton charities will refile tax returns, audit for other errors
Reuters ^ | 2015-04-23 | Jonathan Allen

Hillary Clinton's family's charities are refiling at least five annual tax returns after a Reuters review found errors in how they reported donations from governments, and said they may audit other Clinton Foundation returns in case of other errors.

The foundation and its list of donors have been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks. Republican critics say the foundation makes Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, vulnerable to undue influence. Her campaign team calls these claims "absurd conspiracy theories.

The charities' errors generally take the form of under-reporting or over-reporting, by millions of dollars, donations from foreign governments, or in other instances omitting to break out government donations entirely when reporting revenue, the charities confirmed to Reuters.

Some experts in charity law and taxes said it was not remarkable for a charity to refile an erroneous return once in a while, but for a large, global charity to refile three or four years in a row was highly unusual.

"I've never seen amendment activity like that," said Bruce Hopkins, a Kansas City lawyer who has specialized in charity law for more than four decades, referring to the CHAI filings.

“We are prioritizing an external review to ensure the accuracy of the 990s from 2010, 2011 and 2012 and expect to refile when the review is completed,” Craig Minassian, a foundation spokesman, said in an email.

The decision to review the returns was made last month following inquiries from Reuters, and the foundation has not ruled out extending the review to tax returns extending back 15 or so years.

Very difficult to pass the smell test when you are standing on a pile of manure and there are brown stains all over your yellow pants suit.

They say they will do it, but will they actually do so?

Would the regime and the media EVER refer to a Republican candidate's tax return discrepancies as "ERRORS"?

NO!

It's looking like Bill and his Hag have fallen out of favor with the NWO ruling establishment and Jebby Bush will be coronated.
Daddy Bush and his NWO pukes always get their way.

It’s not unusual when you’re taking bribes like the Clintons do.

She and her husband are brazen liars and criminals and always will be. Too bad there are millions of idiots, toadies and fellow moral bankrupts in this country who will continue to work for, campaign for and vote for HRC.

Heard on Rush’s show, today, that only 15% of the Clintoon Foundation’s income passes on to charities. (Most charities - like the ones Rush supports - are in the 90% range.)

This means 85% of Clintoon Foundations income went to overhead (salaries, travel, etc.)

I wonder how much Vice-Chair Chelsea made in *salary*?

But Chelsea, bless her heart, is so efficient and was put in charge, so that Hillary could go and do, whatever.

This means that Chelsea, being pure as the wind driven snow, will not allow for error. Well, maybe little errors. But just those amounting to a few 100 million.

Nothing BIG, mind you. And, all of those few errors will be just in dollars, you see? It’s not a big deal, like say a verbal gaffe, or something! It’s just money, you dolts!

Bummer.

Nonsense.

It's just a warning shot that she needs to move farther to the left. This far out from November 2016 it won't even leave a mark.

Boy isn’t that the truth. I’ve never seen so much corruption in such a transparent administration in all my years and I’ve investigated countless cases involving government fraud and corruption for over 20 years now. The truth about the depth of corruption in this administration and the mysterious background on The One could be turned in an ongoing series that would rival Lost and any soap opera that ever existed
