Always follow the money.

The New York Post reports that Charity Navigator, which describes itself as “the nation’s largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities,” has added the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation to its “watch list” of problematic nonprofits.
This decision wasn’t made because of the Clinton Foundation’s remarkably lucrative sideline as a uranium superstore for Russian strongmen, but because its finances are opaque and dishonest, and because such a tiny amount of the money it rakes in actually goes to charitable endeavors. “The Clinton family’s mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9 million on direct aid,” notes the New York Post. “The group spent the bulk of its windfall on administration, travel, and salaries and bonuses, with the fattest payouts going to family friends.”
Good charities are supposed to put at least 75 cents of every dollar collected toward their mission. To put it mildly, the Clinton Foundation’s 6 cents on the dollar is well below that threshold. The Foundation’s “atypical business model,” as Charity Navigator very delicately put it, “doesn’t meet our criteria.”
Therefore, the Clintons ended up on a list of dicey “charities” right next to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, which is also able to file phony tax paperwork for years on end without much hassle from the Internal Revenue Service. Banana republics where political clout overrides the rule of law are wonderful, provided you’re one of the insiders. The rest of us don’t get to say “whoops, my bad!” and refile years of tax paperwork when the media catches us hiding millions of foreign dollars.

“watch list”
LOL
They should be prosecuted, but we all know they won’t because of their political connections.
We are lucky to get 6¢ on the dollar from anything connected with the Clintonsand liberalism in general.
Why isn't this organization rated?
We had previously evaluated this organization, but have since determined that this charity's atypical business model can not be accurately captured in our current rating methodology. Our removal of The Clinton Foundation from our site is neither a condemnation nor an endorsement of this charity. We reserve the right to reinstate a rating for The Clinton Foundation as soon as we identify a rating methodology that appropriately captures its business model.
What does it mean that this organization isn’t rated?
It simply means that the organization doesn't meet our criteria. A lack of a rating does not indicate a positive or negative assessment by Charity Navigator.
bttt
Drip
honestly, as long as they go away I don’t care so much about that.
but I wonder if she is/was our easiest candidate to beat.
more like spouting faucet. cant see her surviving primary and like I said, she may be easieset to beat.
who thought she could win this time if a no name Kenyan communist muslim sympathizer could beat her
Always follow the money.
In practical terms, what it means is that 94 cents of every dollar collected goes right to Bill and Hillary.
It may be legal but it stinks to high heaven........
Investigate Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation Chelsea and her husband, Investment Banker Marc Mezvinsky!
Actually see this more as a move by the evaluator to CYA
They don’t want to have rated them highly when the dominoes fall
OTOH they are probably thick with Rats so can’t rates them low
On the “watch list.” That’s funny. I never saw this “charity” advertising in People Magazine with a photo of a sad looking polar bear on an ice floe to get grandma to send ten bucks. This “charity” would throw such a paltry “donation” in the slush fund to buy Hilary some cheap Ten High.
The seven-digit “donors” they’re after don’t give a damn about any “watch list.” In fact, being on that list is exactly why those donors give so much.
Just imagine if this was say The Bush Family Charity. You would hear about it every night on the evening news and cable news channels. How the MSM can sleep at night is beyond my comprehension.
Someone should tell that sell-out jackass Chris Ruddy.
The dems put a lot into Plan A, and she’s it. Ever since she barely lost to Bark, in a battle royale, the assumption was always that she would follow him into the next nomination.
Well, now they’ve got her, along with her fame, money and BAGGAGE, and no one else is prepared to run against her and her corrupt, dangerous machine.
However, they are all learning that she is no longer the same fierce candidate that she was against BarkO, and her past corruption is now current, in a very BIG way. It has taken her over this time and the timing could not be worse for her.
true
If one of these sources can pinpoint how Bill and Hillary have misappropriated federal funds, someone needs to file a Qui Tam / RICO suit against them for recovery of the money.
You first have to give notice to the AG. I wonder if that has been done already?
