Report: Only 6% Clinton Foundation Expenditures Go To Charity
Breitbart.com ^ | 27 April 2015 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/28/2015 7:28:00 AM PDT by Rockitz

Monday on Fox Business Network’s “The Willis Report,” host Gerri Willis broke down the charitable spending of the Clinton Foundation.

Willis said, “What if you were to analyze the Clinton Foundation like any charitable organization? That is a question that we’re asking tonight. Does the Clinton Foundation wisely spend charitable dollars? Well the experts weighed in. The answer is a resounding no. One expert even called it a slush fund for the Clintons. These are not politicos. These are charity experts.”

“Charity Navigator, who we have on the show all the time, placed the Clinton Foundation on a watch list,” she continued. “They think there are problems with this non-profit.” She added, “Any Democrat—they say what a wonderful charitable organization it is doing to help people in need, people who are hungry, people who have AIDS. Listen, 6 percent of the money it collected in 2013, 6 percent — $9 million, of the $140 million in total it collected, went to help people.”

Washington Free Beacon’s Liz Harrington weighed in saying, “The numbers just don’t add up. One of the biggest offenses of the Clinton Foundation came out yesterday — 88 percentof the their expenditures go directly to their charitable programs. That is just simply not true. As you mentioned, they raked in $140 million. They only spent nine million on direct aid. Most of their money goes towards salaries, bonuses, to close friends, folks tied to the Clinton campaign.”

Even the fake charity, Make-A-Wish has slightly better effectiveness than 6%.

Yeah, Jeffrey Epstein of Orgy Island had 21 phone numbers in his computer with which to contact the Clintons.

Someone in Congress needs to look at this....

They did and that is why it is written this way. Boehner says the Clintons are fine people.

Obama, the Clintons and his cohorts of the Chicago mafia have transformed U.S. in a banana republic even more corrupt that the Latin American corruptocracies.

I’d most always heard the Clinton’s slush fund referred to loftily as the Clinton Global Initiative. Now that it is being viewed in a much more critical light, it’s suddenly the Clinton Foundation in practically every recent reference.

Maybe that means nothing or something, but the sudden change is odd. There’s appears to be only one organization.

Sorry, but that is not correct. A Charitable foundation needs to spend 5% per year of its endowment. The spending can include costs to run the foundation( the black hole of private family foundations), charitable grants as well as set asides for multi year projects.

I believe some small foundations consume most of their mandatory distributions as operating expenses.

Liz and I have been trying point this out for over a decade.

Little if any of the so called $’s collected for a non profit charity end up helping those in need.

First in line of the money are the liberals running the charity and those working for the so called charity.

Next, often, a lot of the money sent to the charity ends up being donated to local rat pols, state rat pols and national rats running campaigns.

OMG, how will they justify charitable expenses there? Say that Bill was making charitable contributions to the girls welfare and all that???

He was a huge donor - a sperm donor.

Hillary's candidacy may be toast but it won't be from this revelation. The Clintons are known for this kind of graft and corruption. Nobody who knows the Clinton's history thought that they were spending 88% of the money they brought in on charitable funding to help the poor and infirm in the world. This has always been and remains a slush fund for the Clintons to live high on the hog without working.

The Arkansas Grifters continue their con game.

“It is a race.. If she can go the distance without being ruined and gain the nomination, she is in and knows it.”

So why does Barack want to keep her from the White Hut so badly? Obviously, according to your logic, he is the one who is allowing this information to show up in the media.

6 percent for charity is an impressive number for the Clintonistas. That means 94 percent stays with their favorite charity: the Clintons!

The Buckraking Clinton Foundation sucking up foreign donations is morally reprehensible----but the real crimes are what exactly they are doing with the corporate/foreign monies once its in their Foundation's tax-exempt coffers.

So how'd they do that? Remember, Wall Street makes money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watchers weigh-in.

EXHIBIT ONE--- Dec 05, 2011---Fox News Report: Bill Clinton Reaped Big Bucks from Corzine Firm Before Collapse--- MF Global Employee Links Clinton to the Bankrupt Firm

A former MF Global employee accused former president Bill Clinton of collecting $50,000 per month through his Teneo advisory firm in the months before the brokerage careened towards its Halloween filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, reports Human Events.

Teneo was hired by MF Global’s former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his connections with Clinton’s political family, said the employee, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared retribution, according to Hum/Events. Teneo is a dual-track company with one side devoted to merchant and investment banking and the other side set up to provide image and strategy consulting services. Clinton is the chairman of the company’s advisory board, reports Hum/Events.

SOURCE http://nation.foxnews.com/mf-global/2011/12/05/report-bill-clinton-reaped-big-bucks-corzine-firm- collapse#ixzz1fhH3pHHH

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

EXHIBIT TWO--Then-Secy of State Hillary gave her close aide, Huma Abedin, “State Dept special status".....Abedin was working for Hillary at State....... AND simultaneously working for Bill Clinton, as a private contractor for his company, Teneo Holdings.

Abedin, reportedly had private email addresses on the Clinton email server system (underlining Democrats' greatest fear: the intersection of undisclosed foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton’s secret email address. Huma Abedin's sweetheart deal: (1) an outside private six-figure consultant at the State Department, and, (2) “special government employee” status, and worked a sideline---as a private contractor.

One of Huma's clients was Bill Clinton's Company----Teneo Holdings----self-described as a dual-track political/banking consulting firm that calls itself the “next chapter in strategic advisory.”

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

EXHIBIT THREE---An earlier NYT's expose tarred Bill Clinton w/ Teneo's sub rosa dealings. Teneo is run by Clinton aide---Doug Band. Prosecutors found Band and Clinton listed in pedophile's Jeffry Epsteiin's records as having a shocking 21 email addresses and tele nos. Can you say money laundering? L/E recognizes multiple phone nos and email as the classic MO for money- laundering and tax evasion.

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

EXHIBIT FOUR---Chelsea's husband runs a hedge fund that gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons---even as reports surfaced that Mezvinsky's hedge fund had "underwhelming" returns.

The WSJ reports extensively on the fund's underperformance since its inception and Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs colleagues — Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon — began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund. Some of Eaglevale's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton."

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

EXHIBIT FIVE-- The eternal Clinton/Goldman Sachs connection. Then-Pres Clinton's WH aide Rahm Emanuel also worked as a Goldman Sachs lobbyist.....both at the same time

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

Here's Hillary cozying up to Goldman Sachs.

Then-US Sens Clinton and Corzine. Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs
executive suite, buying his NJ Senate seat office for $65 million; then buying
the NJ governorship. Out of office, he ran a hedge fund where $1.5 B went missing.
