“As long as the law considers it a real charity, its allowed.”
Obviously not, if people are getting prosecuted for it. Just because the charity is “legal” doesn’t mean that it can’t be misused in criminal activity. Fraud is still fraud, even if the charity’s paper work is in order.
“The Clinton Global Initiative is one such charity. Are the Clintons getting prosecuted for it?”
They certainly should be.
I suppose I’m just not the type of person that say “well one person got any with it, guess we let everyone get away with it”.

The way prosecutors work, they throw everything they can at the wall and hope that something sticks. It’s called overcharging. It costs them nothing. Doesn’t mean any of the charges will stick. The case will take time to wend its way through the courts. We’ll see how it plays out.
