Since its creation in 2001, the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation has raised close to $2 billion from a vast global network that includes corporate titans, political donors, foreign governments and other wealthy interests, according to a Washington Post review of public records and newly released contribution data.
The total, representing cash and pledges reported in tax filings, includes $262 million that was raised in 2013 — the year Hillary Rodham Clinton stepped down as secretary of state and began to devote her energies to the foundation and to a likely second run for president.
The financial success of the foundation, which funds charitable work around the world, underscores the highly unusual nature of another Clinton candidacy. The organization has given contributors entree, outside the traditional political arena, to a possible president. Foreign donors and countries that are likely to have interests before a potential Clinton administration — and yet are ineligible to give to U.S. political campaigns — have affirmed their support for the family’s work through the charitable giving.
The Post review of foundation data, updated this month on the group’s Web site to reflect giving through 2014, found substantial overlap between the Clinton political machinery and the foundation.
Nearly half of the major donors who are backing Ready for Hillary, a group promoting her 2016 presidential bid, as well as nearly half of the bundlers from her 2008 campaign, have given at least $10,000 to the foundation, either on their own or through foundations or companies they run.

Clinton, Inc. IS the New World Order.
2 billion!!!!!! I thought this foundation/slush fund was worth more like 200 million. From that 2 billion how much has been spent on real charity and how much on travel for Clinton cronies?
The most corrupt slush fund in history, and still growing unabated.
Where is the IRS and FBI? Have they no pride...or shame? They are not supposed to (are not allowed to) be influenced by the political side of things.
Pay to play.
It’s like Scientology or Jim Jones.

The Foundation gave away 10% of what it has received, according to many sources.
The giving to overhead expenses is one of the highest around.

Clintons’ foundation has raised nearly $2 billion — and some key questions
Article and # 7.
Thanks, hoosiermama. Is it getting warm in here?
A woman selling herself without morals is older than politics, nothing new there. However, two Billion does make her the biggest whore in history.
(1) According to ABC's George Stephanopoulous, he was solicited (and/or donated) for donations to specific "charities"...AIDS and deforestation. If the Clinton Foundation received donations based on specific charitable work, then transferred the money elsewhere, the US Postal Service considers this mail fraud.
(2) At the lavish Morocco meeting last week, Bill Clinton was asked by a billionaire donor what Clinton was doing w/ donations. The donor referred to the blizzard of adverse publicity that monies sent to the Foundation were not used as intended. "What is this money for? What have you done with it?," he asked Clinton.
(3) "I just work here," Clinton responded. "I don't know." So if Foundation founder Bill Clinton did not know---and the Board did not know---who knew?
(4) The billionaire donor also told Clinton his daughter (a Foundation Board member) felt useless.....b/c apparently Board Members were not advised of some of Clinton's activities.
(5) If Foundation Board members were not advised of, and did not sign off on, expenditures of tax-exenpt Foundation donations, the Clintons have a legal problem that could involve violation of tax laws. Board members of Foundations are fiduciaries and are required to oversee the distribution of donations.
(6) L/E investigating the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile case found Clinton listed w/ 21 phone nos and email addresses. What for? L/E knows multiple phone nos and emails are connected to money laundering and tax fraud.
=================================================
THE CLINTONs MO is down to a science.....and apparently bypasses Board members:
<><> (1) it mops up cash from wealthy foreigners,
<><> (2) bundles it within a larger charitable organization to hide the money’s original source, and,
<><> (3) funnels the cash from the so-called legitimate charity into the Clinton Foundation coffers.
<><> the money-laundering is an intense 24/7 operation.
==========================================================
The Morocco Foundation soiree cover story is that billionaire Hillary supporters and donors were wined and dined to observe foreign projects the Clinton Global Initiative supposedly financed WRT health care, global warming, wildlife protection, education and agriculture....while being lavished in luxury by the Moroccan King whose impoverished subjects do not have enough to eat.
Although he was jailed for running a Ponzi scheme for 25 years..... Madoff's usefulness was helping billionaire tax-exempt foundations launder money and evade taxes.....the IRS accepts "losing money" as a tax write-off.
================================================
Clinton's MO is to travel the globe....his secret accounts, business interests, and other evidence of his money laundering, are everywhere.
===============================================
Here's yet another Clinton con job. Several state and federal agencies the Clintons listed as donors told news outlets they did not contribute to the Clinton Foundation.
<><> EPA said there's no record of donations to the Clinton Foundation.
<><> The “Office of Minority Health and Human Services,” is listed but it's not clear what this donation referred to, or even which federal or state office it came from.
<><> The Arkansas Dept of Human Services received a donor "gift receipt" but said they never expended tax dollars to the Foundation.
===================================
Can all the listed donors who took a tax write-off come up w/ "gift receipt."
Chelsea’s in-laws.

Mezvinsky was convicted in 2002 of bilking his associates, friends and family members — even his own late mother-in-law — out of millions of dollars. Despite being released in April 2008 after serving five years in prison, Mezvinsky remains on federal probation and still owes almost $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.
An ABC News investigation revealed that Mezvinsky, a former Democratic Congressman from Iowa, had been caught up in a series of Nigerian e-mail scams and began to steal from people to further his schemes.

Is there anyway that the SOS funds that went missing can be audited?
Great deal - rich people give them great big bucks and they redistribute it - and they get the credit for doing great deeds - what a scam....
Of course.
Seems to me---looking at the current crop of candidates----the only one w/ the gonads to do it is a President Scott Walker.
He didnt tolerate shady Democrat shenanigans as gov of Wisconsin.
