Soccer's Embattled Governing Body Made Donation To The Clinton Foundation By Malia Zimmerman
May 27, 2015 Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and FIFA President Sepp Blatter attend the 2010 World Cup Group C soccer match between the United States and Algeria at Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria June 23, 2010. The Clintons, already under scrutiny for accepting foreign donations to their family foundation and keeping them secret from the Obama administration while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state, have received money from another controversial source: the Federacion Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
Soccer’s governing body, which donated between $50,001 and $100,000 to the Clinton Global Initiative and partnered with the former president’s foundation on other projects, is entangled in an international corruption investigation spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Justice, which spans countries from Qatar and Russia to Switzerland and the United States.

Two things.. First, what other ruling class families are doing this? Kennedy’s, Bushes, Grahams? You know the Clintoons are not original. I know there is a Kennedy foundation.
Second, if Roger Goodell or the NFL Players union made the list, fire them all. Return football to the manly men.
What about the other pet organizations? I guess I need to read the book.. Groan.
WHY in HELL would FIFA, the World Cup Organization, make ANY donation to the Clinton Foundation Slush Fund??? BRIBERY to not tell about their corruption?? What else could it be?
Why would it be claimed that the Clintons did this to “hide it from the Obama Adinistration”? Obama is in on this deal(s). If not then he would have the AG and every organization available to prosecute the Clintons. Are the Clntons immune?
