'Out-of-control family affair': Experts question Clinton Foundation's true charitable spending

The charity run by the Clintons has raised $2 billion since it was founded in 2001 -- $144.3 million in 2013 alone -- but only a small fraction of the take went to its “life-saving work,” according to analysts who monitor non-profits.

The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation claims 88 percent of the money it raises goes to actual charity work, but experts who have looked at the books put the number at about 10 percent. The rest, they say, goes mostly to salaries, benefits, travel and fund-raising.

“That claim is demonstrably false, and it is false not according to some partisan spin on the numbers, but because the organization’s own tax filings contradict the claim,” said Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist, a conservative online magazine. [...]

The only thing that surprises me is the fact that so much got away from them. Heads will roll.

Chris Ruddy of NewsMax gave the Clinton Foundation $1,000,000. If you subscribe to NewsMax, that’s your money.

Okay we need to start slamming these shysters with the same B.S. they thru at us back when Bill was Lying to the Courts and Hillary was pushing the nuts and sluts defense.

Just think of All the Children that could have been fed, housed and educated with that other 1.85 Billion dollars.

Whaddya do with it all Hillary? How many times did you use donated money for starving children in ravished Countries, to send Bill off to Pediphile Island? How many times did you, Bill and Chelsea take Vacations around the world on donated cash causing starving Children to die?

It is all about using business methods and business culture for to solve the world’s problems, such as stopping global warming which I don’t agree with but that is the commercial proposition driving the Foundation’s efforts. By its own admission the Clinton Foundation is not a charity.

Yeah, there should be some controlling legal authority who could round them up and incarcerate.

Chelsea Clinton by all indications is urging the foundation to address recommendations from a 2011 audit for tighter governance and budgeting, as well as more comprehensive policies to vet donors and avoid conflicts of interest. Only problem is her mom is going to need to tap these loyal megadonors for campaign cash...

Chelsea’s young with a long life ahead of her. Wonder if she’ll rat on her parents to stay out of prison.
