ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos has given $50,000 to the Clinton Foundation in recent years, charitable contributions that he did not publicly disclose while reporting on the Clintons or their non-profit organization, the On Media blog has learned.

In both 2013 and 2014, Stephanopoulos made a $25,000 donation to the 501 nonprofit founded by former president Bill Clinton, the Foundation's records show. Stephanopoulos never disclosed this information to viewers, even when interviewing author Peter Schweizer last month about his book "Clinton Cash," which alleges that donations to the Foundation may have influenced some of Hillary Clinton's actions as Secretary of State.

This is what you get when you hire a Clintonista to do news.

[Sybeck1]

He should be a hundred miles away from the debates

[immadashell]

Will future quotes from this fellow traveler be accompanied by an asterisk?

[SMARTY]

I guess that says a lot for his ‘journalistic’ professionalism. :)

[doug from upland]

Reminds me of Telemundo anchor reporting on Viaraigosa divorce while she was doing the L.A. mayor.

[Tax-chick]

I see what you did there.

[norwaypinesavage]

And this is breaking news? Georgie has been a Clinton butt boy for over two decades. The only news is that it slipped out (no pun intended).

[MNGal]

This just confirms what we already knew. I’m surprised that he gave us such concrete evidence of his bias, however.

DEREK HUNTER ASKED ON TOWNHALL.COM Why do the world’s wealthiest people and foreign govts feel compelled to give the Clinton Foundation hundreds of millions of dollars to do "charity"...... which the do-good Clintons constantly brag about.....that are in reality innocuous activities that thousands of charities already do......

These "Foundations" have become little more than political extortion.....shakedowns....prolly money laundering, tax evasion havens, as well.

Taxpayers demand laws prohibiting public official and ex-presidents from forming foundations that are little more than personal ATM's. Opportunistic pols use con artist-type "shakedowns" to personally profit by selling access and favorable public policy "for a price."

============================================

OBAMAS GET READY FOR THE BIG PAYDAY Obama isnt even out of office yet---and already has two foundations (that we know of).

(1) "The Obama Foundation" announced the location of its library in Chicago.....revving up the next ex-president's money machine.

(2) The second Obama foundation----The Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF)---(named after their dad), was fast-tracked by Lois Lerner for IRS tax-exempt status....for Malik Obama, Barack's half brother.

The BHOF is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. The organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based.

As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the self-same IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status. The IRS thoughtfully gave Obama Foundation retroactive fund-raising status.......which it stupidly never applied for.

The tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the half-brother of Barack Obama.

The foundation’s mission statement is “to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.” Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.

Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee, allegedly a registered Republican, who helped start the Barack H Obama foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of a reporter’s passport and govt ID, along with a description of the article’s “motivation” and “slant.”

Repeated reporters' phone calls went to the organization’s voicemail and were not returned.

Malik spends most of his time in Kenya with his 12 wives while Obama finances his half brother, Malik, a major fundraiser for the Muslim Bortherhood.

==================================================

GOVERTNMENT FRAUD AT ITS FINEST--deposited in numbered accounts in offshore banks?

Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:

<><> $2 billion funding to Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich African countries.

Any candidate, ANY candidate contemplating participating in a debate of any sort should first have the condition that George NOT be, under any circumstances, connected with any part of the formulation, conduct, or on site post analysis.

This is the duplicity of the evil with which real Americans deal.

[Amagi]

And we’re supposed to believe that Stumpy is an unbiased journalist.

Later in the interview, Stephanopoulos said, “I still haven’t heard any direct evidence and you just said you had no evidence that she intervened here.” He also noted that other news organizations that used Schweizer’s research “haven’t confirmed any evidence of any crime.”

************************************************
There IS evidence of a crime(s), just not the ‘quid pro quo’ type that the Clintonistas are choosing to talk about while ignoring the obvious ........

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

It has been reported over the years that the Clintons detest GS. I guess that story was false.

[certrtwngnut]

Is it time to curtail these “foundations”? It seems that they only exist to launder money. Or get a big tax break.
The tax break is OK if they are above board. Which most are probably not.

CLINTON SOLICITED FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS TO
SUSIDIZE HIS FOUNDATION/LIBRARY IN ARKANSAS

The Library bills itself as "linking the significance of
a 20th century American presidency with the ongoing
and far-reaching work of The Clinton Global Foundation."

==================================================

No mention of Clinton being impeached and disbarred for lying.

====================================================

REALITY CHECK Despite its grandiose self-promotion, The William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park---- is just another "Clinton Cash" snake pit.....subsidized by taxpayers,....and some shady foreign characters.

As Hollywood hotshots protested the Beverly Hills Hotel over its ownership by Brunei's sultan and his embrace of Sharia law, it turns out the Brunei government has financial connections to the Clintons.

The Clinton presidential library lists Brunei along with Kuwait, Oman and Qatar (new home of the Gitmo Five) as donors that gave between $1 million and $5 million through last year.

The Clinton foundation itself confirmed the 2002 Brunei donation: "The Clinton Foundation's impact would not be possible without the generous support of our donors," the foundation's website reads. "Their contributions have made a difference in the lives of tens of millions across the world." Read more at foxnews.com ...

==================================================

Hillary later told Greta that Qatar was "not a threat to the US." Hillary never mentioned Qatar subsidizing the Clinton Library/Foundation....leading some to believe the donation was a payoff....Hillary defended Qatar, blatantly ignoring America's ntl security interests.

[Theodore R.]

He’s biased, but the American people don’t see the bias.

[Texas Eagle]

I’d be surprised if there’s even one Men Seeking Men media newshole who hasn’t given to the Clinton Foundation. There might be one or two FOX News talking heads who haven’t but other than that.

[bmwcyle]

Newsmax boss Chris Ruddy explains why he gave to the Clinton Foundation

[txrefugee]

As has everyone at Politico, no doubt. This is hardly news.
