Why the Clinton Foundation is One, Gigantic Scam (more on the 5.7% charity money)
pjmedia.com ^ | 9/17/2016 | rick moran

According to tax returns filed by the Clinton Foundation, only 5.7% of the funds raised actually went to charitable organizations. The rest went to salaries and benefits for employees and "other expenses."

A well run charity spends only about 25% on administrative costs.

Daily Caller:

The Clinton Foundation spent a hair under $91.3 million in 2014, the organization’s IRS filings show. But less than $5.2 million of that went to charitable grants.

That number pales in comparison to the $34.8 million the foundation spent on salaries, compensation and employee benefits.

Another $50.4 million was marked as “other expenses,” while the remaining almost $851K was marked as “professional fundraising expenses.”

But she has a plan to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in government spending—privatize it!

These are the cats that are pointing fingers at Trump for his charitable foundation. I can bet that Donald has given more of his own money to charities and good causes as has the entire Clinton Foundation. In the 90’s the Grifters were deducting their used underclothes on their itemized 1040.

O ye of glasses half (or more) empty!

Have ye not considered that 5.7% is extravagantly more than 0.0%?

I am positive that if the financials of the Clinton foundation are looked at closely you will find that the bush family and the McCain family are entwined.... I have no proof the only thing I have is a gut feeling.

50k of which was granted to service agencies. The other $1 million used to fund their lavish lifestyle.

Well, someone must’ve gotten to them, or they got a LOT of feedback/flack from ‘Rats, because months back it was in the dumpster when I looked.

However, don’t let ME stop you from sending them some of your hard-earned cash, LOL!

They probably gave the $5.7 million to “make it look good” so their supporters can claim that “the foundation saved millions of lives across the world.”

I guess the millions of lives were worth about a dollar apiece in the eyes of the Clinton Foundation.

CREATNG A CLINTON DO-GOOD FUND-RAISER--One day, as camera clicked, little Chelsea frowned, said she worried about the elephant population being decimated. And BOOM....the Clinton Foundation had another do-good fund-raising cause (raising the total do-good fund-raising causes to some 256---at last count).

A tax-exempt is audited on (1) it's do-good fund raising efforts, and, (2) how they spent the money raised. Diverting money raised for one cause and using it elsehere is considered mail/electronic fraud.

As the Clinton Foundation's vice-chair, how many fund-raising letters did little Chelsea sign off on?

Is Chelsea in legal jeopardy?

The greedy Clintons think they're smarter than the rest of us......but no one---not even the Clintons---can launder and steal billions and not leave a huge paper trail.

Remember Billy's pass-through account---emptied every night? Funds passing through Billybooboo's WJC LLC could end up in (a) offshore accounts,
(b) money market accounts, (c) other investments....without garnering public scrutiny.....

That certainly explains OBAMA'S ACADEMY-AWARD WORTHY ACT.

He acts like he "knows nothing." Obama didn't even know about this (snix).

PIC Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks
facilitated by Secy Clinton, as Bill globe-trotted to set up the deal.

"Hahahaha. US ntl security? Hahahaha. You gotta be kidding, Vlad."

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

With all the top-level intel available to him, can Americans actually believe:

<><>Obama was oblivious to the Clintons jerking around US foreign policy?

<><> Obama knew nothing of Hillary and Sid Blumenthal's emails WRT Iran (the man Obama banned from US govt employment)?

<><> Obama knew nothing about the Clinton Foundation/slush fund buck-raking activities?

<><> Obama never noticed Bill Clinton trotting around the globe?

<><> Obama never noticed the Clinton "charity" used to worm his way into the confidences of foreign leaders.... but only those leaders w/ untapped reserves of gold, uranium, oil, and other valuable commodities?

<><> Obama never knew Hillary's brother got a gold-mining permit in Haiti?

Hand-picked by Obama to run State, Hillary ran it like a shadow govt.... w/ her husband taking notes WRT buck-raking opportunities available from Hillary's actions OR inaction.

Secy Hillary never e-v-e-r uttered a discouraging word e-v-e-r......as the Clinton Foundation sucked up hundred of millions of foreign dollars from shady characters.

OF COURSE, the Clintons selling access to State Dept decisions and passing on classified information to interested parties for a foundation donation.......NEVER, EVER interfered w/ Obama/s OWN foreign policy initiatives (cue laugh machine).

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

PULITZER PRIZE ANYBODY?---an enterprising reporter (1) matches-up foreign policy decisions at Hillary's State Dept, (2) the timing of donations to the Clinton Foundation....and, (3) related foreign policy decisions by Obama.
