Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign released their tax forms from 2000-2007 Thursday, which showed the Clintons earned more than $100 million in that time period and donated $10 million of that to their own charity.
The Clinton campaign reports donating $10,256,741 to the CFF between 2000 and 2006. During that time, CFF dispersed $2,530,100 in money to other charities and causes.
The names of other persons who donated to the CFF are not required to be disclosed.
Over the years, the CFF gave $80,000 to the Clinton Birthplace Foundation Inc., $20,000 to the Shakespeare Theatre, $40,000 to the School of the American Ballet, $5,000 to the YMCA of Martha’s Vineyard, $10,000 to Amnesty International.
The CFF also donated money to the Immanuel Baptist Church in Shackelford, Arkansas, Georgetown and Yale each year.
CFF lost a significant amount of money in the last two tax reporting years. CFF claimed $4.3 million assets on their 2005 IRS 990 forms. CFF reported much less, $255,890, on their most recent 2006 tax forms. It is not immediately clear from reading the forms where the money went or why assets were lost.
During that time, the Clintons removed themselves as senior officials of the foundation on their tax forms and moved CFF headquarters.
The 2005 tax returns show the foundation’s address as P.O Box 937 Chappaqua, New York—the city which the Clintons keep their New York home. The next year’s tax forms lists the CFF address as in Salinas, California.
On the 2005 forms and those from previous years, Bill Clinton was listed as CFF President, Hillary Clinton has the title of secretary/treasurer and daughter Chelsea Clinton was “director.” The 2006 tax forms list Gloria Clinton as CFF CEO and Manager, Erlinda Valdez as secretary and Catherina Hillman as treasurer.
Gloria Clinton was paid $252,500 according to the 2006 returns for her work that year.
This is the link to all the William J. Clinton Foundation’s financials including the 990s...
Lots of info here, including massive salary, travel and consultant expenses and big expenditures explained as “charitable” because they are to support their Clinton Library and teaching of the “Clinton Presidency”.
In other words, a massive tax-free PR firm and free travel vehicle for the StainMaker... not to mention big padded salaries that can go to paying off political favors.
