Hillary releases tax return, goading Trump
WND ^ | 08/12/2016

Posted on 08/12/2016 6:29:46 PM PDT by detective

Hillary Clinton released her latest federal income tax return Friday, further pressuring Republican opponent Donald Trump, who is now the first major-party presidential candidate since 1976 to refuse to release tax returns.

The Clintons’ 2015 personal tax return showed the Democratic Party presidential nominee and her husband Bill earned $10.6 million in 2015, while paying $3.24 million in federal income taxes.

Their tax return showed the Clintons paid an effective federal tax rate of 34.2 percent and an effective state and local tax rate of 9 percent, totaling a combined tax rate of 43.2 percent for last year, according to the Clinton campaign.

Bill Clinton earned $1.7 million through his consulting business. The Clintons made $6.8 million in speaking fees and close to $3.1 million by writing books.

"It’s also still unclear which fees were pocketed by the Clintons as income and which were designated as funds going to charity through the Clinton Foundation.

The 2015 tax return showed the Clintons deducted $1,042,000 in charitable contributions last year — with $1 million going to the Clinton Foundation."

The Clintons illegally comingled funds. The bribes were falsely designated as speaking fees. Clinton also assigned bribe money to the Foundation.

The Clinton's also gave almost no money to charity. The so called charitable contribution to the Foundation was just money moved from one pocket to another. It looks like the Clinton's committed tax fraud as well as their other crimes.

Less than 10% of Clinton Foundation money was actually contributed to charity.

Her running mate released his for the past 10 years.

Let’s see Hillary’s tax return for last 10 years first.

>>> $1,042,000 in charitable donation

1 mil goes back to her, the other 42k split between abortion and gun control organizations (my own guess).

Trump Campaign Statement on Hillary Clinton’s Taxes

“Hillary Clinton has turned over the only records nobody wants to see from her – the American public wants to see the 33,000 emails she deleted to obstruct an FBI investigation. We want to see the Clinton Foundation records showing how the Clintons sold our uranium to Russia, ripped off Haiti and cut deals with oppressive regimes around the world. We want to see the pay-for-play emails that Clinton’s Chief of Staff, Cheryl Mills, refuses to turn over. We want to see the transcripts of the secret Wall Street speeches Clinton was paid $10,000 dollars-a-minute to give. We want to see the records the night of Benghazi that explain why Secretary Clinton didn’t send in reinforcements as soon as the attack had begun.

Hillary Clinton is at the center of an international corruption scandal that reveals her use of government authority and influence for personal gain. The records we need to see are those being hidden, deleted, obstructed and stashed away by Hillary Clinton to keep authorities from untangling this corrupt scheme that reaches into the world’s shady corridors of power. Everything she doesn’t want us to see has been digitally shredded or put under lock and key. This document release is nothing more than an attempt at distraction and misdirection by an individual who created and then purged an illegal private email server.”

How do two clowns who never did an honest day’s work in their life make a cool 10 million in one year? I don’t understand how they can hate this country so much. They’ve got it made.

Hillary can release her tax return because she makes tons of money from friendly lobbyists who want favors. But she will not release Clinton Foundation financials. And she won’t release her speeches.

Nobody is saying that Trump might be committing a crime or lying. But Hillary’s foundation may be committing crimes. And her speeches may show lies.

Giving money to your own foundation, and the using it as a deduction? Is THAT how I read this? Salt of the earth, that Hillary.

It took a long time to forge it. Lessons learned from Obama’s “birth certificate”

Besides, what in the hell is Bill Clinton doing to “Consult” ?

What’s his specialty ? IT must be good for 1.7 million in a single year.

Exactly! Anyway, WHERE is the law that stipulated that all candidates for POTUS must open up their tax records??? This is just a ridiculous diversion! The typical LIV will be led to assume Trump must have something to hide. Nonsense! ALL big earners in this country, whether in business, sports, entertainment etc, are UNDOUBTEDLY subject to high levels of IRS scrutiny of their tax returns!

Giving money to your own foundation is equivalent to Harridan Hillary donating BJ's underwear to charity and taking a deduction for it, which she did.

Most of the charitable contribution is to the Clonton Foundation. How does that goad Trump?

You know Hillary’s income tax returns have been cooked. I’d ask her about the returns for Bill too where the real money and all the shell companies come into play. You know she’s worth far more than this. It’s total crap.

I do not care what is in or not in Trump’s tax return. It will NOT change my vote. It is a non-issue, a distraction.

Undoubtedly to the Clinton Family Crime Foundation. Bill will recoup it as part of his “salary.” Very cagey.
