Records: Hillary Clinton Has Donated $70,000 To Veterans
Breitbart ^ | 6/1/2016 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 06/01/2016 7:44:09 AM PDT by simpson96

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill Clinton have donated $70,000 to veterans and military groups from their personal Clinton Family Foundation in recent years, according to public records. The list of donations from the Clintons is not comprehensive, but is dwarfed by Donald Trump’s release of a list of 41 groups that identified donations of $5.6 million to veterans groups.

“Find out how much Hillary Clinton’s given to the veterans,” Trump dared reporters gathered at Trump Tower yesterday. “Nothing.”

According to recent public records of the Clinton Family Foundation, the family donated $25,000 in 2009, $20,000 in 2010, $5,000 in 2011, $15,000 in 2012, and in 2014, they donated $5,000.

The Clintons, however, have funneled millions of their charitable dollars to the Clinton Foundation, an organization that does not disclose its donations publicly. The Clinton Foundation did not respond to a request for detailed donations to veterans and military groups.

Last year the Clintons released eight years of tax returns, revealing the couple had earned $139 million in adjusted gross income from 2007 to 2014 and gave almost $15 million to charity in that period, but it is unclear how much of that money went to veterans. The Clinton campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Clinton Family Foundation does not EQUAL the Clinton’s own money.

It is bribe and slush funds of those looking to buy influence.

And Trump, ‘LIED’ when he donated 5 million to Vets with more on the way!

How I loathe that Fabian Socialist Harridan!

So, the Clinton Foundation pays more to Chelsea Clinton every three months than it has given to Vets in the entire time of its existence.

Clinton Foundation net worth (Wikipedia): about $2 billion.

By my running the numbers, $70,000 is 0.0035% of that.

In scientific jargon “baseline noise”. In everyday speech “chump change”.

Trump at least a million, Clinton $70K. Me? Directly and through my business, I actually think I have donated more to veterans than Clinton. And my income is a whole lot less than Clinton.

As a veteran myself, I give as much as 10-50% off my company's services to fellow veterans. It adds up.

Huma is an agent of the Muslim Brotherhood, like her mother. She is possibly the reason the attack in Benghazi took place. She of all people would’ve known Ambassador Stevens was defenseless and probably conveyed that to the MB. Yes, the MB was there that night and there is a video on YouTube which proves that. I think the MB waged the attack to get Stevens in exchange for the Blind Sheik before 0bongo potentially leaving office.. But then two SEALs showed up.

...from their personal Clinton Family Foundation
...but only in recent years, because, when they left the White House, they were flat broke. /s

And most of the “veterans” charitable contributions from the Clintons went to a charity called “Abortions for Veterans”. /sarcasm
