Oops: Bill Clinton 'Mistakenly' Misreports Taxable Income as Tax-Free Donations
Townhall ^ | May 1, 2015 | Guy Benson

Once again, mistakes -- passive voice -- were made:

Clinton Foundation mistakenly listed payments to Bill from Chinese developer & US-Islamic Conference as donations. http://t.co/UNAP89ipu9
— Kenneth P. Vogel (@kenvogel) April 30, 2015

The foundation has also come under scrutiny for failing to clear all foreign government donations through an agreed-upon State Department vetting process when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, and for failing to identify foreign government donations on tax returns. Fact-checkers this week challenged the foundation’s claims that it’s barred by Canadian privacy laws from revealing the names of more than 1,000 mostly foreign donors to a joint Clinton-Giustra nonprofit registered in Vancouver, British Columbia. It acknowledged in response to POLITICO’s questions that it mischaracterized as foundation donations money from the China Overseas Real Estate Development and the U.S.-Islamic World Conference. That money was actually honoraria paid for Bill Clinton speeches by those entities, said foundation officials, who added this week those were the only mistakes “we are aware of.”

Poor Leona Helmsley. All she had to say was "I misreported" and all her problems would have gone away. If only she had known how easy it was.

You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes!

You say.. “Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?” First.. get a million dollars.

Now.. you say, “Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, ‘You.. have never paid taxes’?”

Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: “I forgot!”

How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don’t say “I forgot”?

Let’s say you’re on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, “I forgot armed robbery was illegal.”

Let’s suppose he says back to you, “You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, ‘I forgot’?”

Two simple words: Excuuuuuse me!!”

Oh, really? Now what would the IRS do to the average taxpayer if they made such a “mistake,” with a gaggle of lawyers on their payroll? Taxpayers are sick of Democrat tax cheats like the Clintons and Sharpton getting special favors from the IRS.

The IRS can’t even get The Revrunt (notso) Sharpton to pay his taxes.

Mistakes were made. Emails were erased. Women were raped. Time to move on.

Has there ever been a case of any rich and powerful person paying too much, by mistake?

This, as with all other Clinton corruption, will be overlooked and dismissed as harmless. After all, it is the Clintons.

With at least 4 different Clinton slush funds charities, it is difficult to remember who gave a donation to which slush fund charity.

"Can't even get?????" There is no "can't even get". It's an exclusive liberals-only club called "we'll just look the other way".

Do you realize how many thousands of Federal workers owe back taxes? How do they continue to get away with it if there is not rampant "ignoring" of the laws for the right people?

What a funny bunch of mistakes. Will all this sink her or are they simply clearing the air in 2015 knowing the LIVs will forget in 2016?

Where do they find accountants who go along with this b***sh**?

I probably should ask how much do they have to pay for accountants to go along with this b***sh**.
