The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation's flagship health project changed its mind again on Wednesday on the matter of its erroneous tax returns, saying it would refile them with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service after all.

The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) said the decision to refile its 2012 and 2013 returns was in response to "recent media interest."

Again? Seems they have to do this EVERY year.

WHEN are these people going to be punished for their numerous Crimes Against Humanity. I mean, subverting the LAW wherever and however they wish? The rapes? The possible murders?

Just that cackle ALONE should be reason to arrest her!

I’d settle for the IRS pulling their 501c3 status, but that’s not going to happen.

Like I said, one Hillary Clinton must DREAD the current Swiss legal investigation into Sepp Blatter's misdeeds at FIFA at its Zurich headquarters. If they find out FIFA was using the Clinton Foundation to launder bribe money to and from FIFA officials, Hillary Clinton's political career is over.

Clinton Inc. dies with Bill. Hillary and Chelsea won't be able to keep the money rolling in when Bill's gone.

Chelsea married the wrong guy, she should've married a Kennedy, it would have kept alive "Camelot".

Financial whistleblower Charles Ortel quoted a former managing director of Dillon, Read & Co: "under New York law, tax authorities dont have to show criminal intent to get convictions against foundation officials."

Authorities need only show that the Clinton Foundation filed materially misleading financial information but kept on fundraising for a myriad of do-good projects.

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

POSTER'S NOTE The legal culpability of a charity consists of soliciting and taking money.... and showing how they spend it.

So if the Clinton Foundation raised money using the US mails and cited a specific "do-good cause" but used the donated money elsewhere, that is considered mail fraud.

REPORT MAIL FRAUD HERE: https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/contactUs/filecomplaint.aspx

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

Earlier, Ortel found irregularities of a sufficient magnitude that the Clinton Foundation should be shut down.

Ortel: if any of the 50 state attorneys general present the evidence to a federal district judge, an injunction would be ordered, shutting down the Clinton Foundation and placing the organization in receivership.

Ray, I wish you were right. As long as Bill is alive, Hillary is bullet proof.

“”The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) said the decision to refile its 2012 and 2013 returns was in response to “recent media interest.””

Big deal....That entity is only ONE of the dozens under the umbrella of the Clinton Foundations. Who do they think they’re fooling? Reuters apparently! That’s probably one that will get the scrutiny and revisions and the others won’t even get looked at.

Transparent all right! We see through your scam!

The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation's flagship health project changed its mind again on Wednesday on the matter of erroneous 2012-13 tax returns, saying it would refile Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) returns in response to recent media interest.

The Clinton Foundation and Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) its major health-related offshoot received over $7 million from the US government in recent years, according to an analysis of public records conducted by the Washington Free Beacon.

The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), chaired by Bill Clinton and run by long-time associate Ira Magaziner, has received $6,010,898 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) since 2010. CHAI, the biggest arm of the Clinton family’s charitable efforts, accounting for 60 percent of all spending, received $3,193,500 in fiscal years 2010, 2011, and 2012, according to federal contracts, during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

The organization received an additional $2,817,398 from the CDC in FYs 2013, 2014, and 2015.

The grants, including $200,000 awarded as recently as January, have gone to CHAI’s Global AIDS program, filed under Global Health and Child Survival. The CDC is listed as a $1-10 million contributor to CHAI, according to its donor list.

CHAI, the Boston-based health arm of the Clinton Foundation, has come under scrutiny for failing to disclose donations from foreign governments—in violation of a pledge Clinton made to the Obama administration before she assumed office as secretary of state.

A Reuters report found that the health initiative stopped making its annual disclosure in 2010 and that no complete list of donors to the Clintons charities has been published since. The group only recently published a partial donor list, which its spokesperson Maura Daley told Reuters made up for CHAIs oversight of failing to meet the disclosure agreement.

When asked whether the CDC has any concern regarding its funding of CHAI or plans to provide grants to the organization in the future, an agency spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon that it “can’t predict who will apply for and be awarded grants.”

CDC and potential grantees must follow federal guidelines when applying for or awarding and monitoring grants, said Shelly Diaz. CHAI, like any other organization meeting federal requirements, may apply for CDC grants. They would also be expected to meet the same ongoing requirements for grantees (e.g. reports, audits, performance standards).

CHAI received hundreds of millions from foreign nations between 2009 and 2014, including: the UK ($79.7 million), Australia ($58.6 million), Norway ($38.1 million), Canada ($12.1 million), Ireland ($11.7 million), Sweden ($7.2 million), and New Zealand ($1.2 million). A Boston Globe investigative report found that foreign donations “sharply accelerated” to CHAI when Hillary Clinton became secretary of state.

Government grants, nearly all from foreign countries, doubled to $55.9 million in 2013 from $26.7 million in 2010, according to the records, the report said.

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

The health initiative broke off into a nonprofit separate from the Clinton Foundation in 2010, though it is still chaired by Bill and Chelsea Clinton. The charities have remained intertwined. CHAI received a $2 million cash grant from the Clinton Foundation for Haiti relief, according to the group’s 2013 tax filing. It received a $4 million cash grant from the foundation for “program service” in 2012.

CHAIs chief executive officer and vice chairman, Ira Magaziner, a 1960s student activist who tried to convert a small American city into a model of municipal socialism, is a long time associate of the Clintons. Magaziner was a Rhodes scholar with Bill Clinton in the late 1960s, a senior advisor in the Clinton White House, and the architect of Hillary Clinton’s failed health-care plan in the 1990s.

Magaziner formerly ran the foundation’s Clinton Climate Initiative while also running CHAI, though he ceded control over the environmental group late last year. He was paid $415,000 in salary and consulting fees from the Clinton Foundation in 2013, according to Politico. Bruce Lindsey, Bill Clinton’s longtime lawyer and chairman of the board of the Clinton Foundation, was the highest paid official at CHAI, paid $398,159 in salary and benefits in 2013 as a board member.

CHAIs website says they are a frugal charity that focuses on saving lives, rather than compensating ourselves excessively.

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

CHAI spokesperson, Maura Daley, said that taxpayer funding to her organization is being provided by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and distributed through the CDC for AIDS work in Ethiopia.

The CDC agreement with CHAI was a 5-year grant to support work in Ethiopia, which began prior to Secretary Clinton becoming Secretary, Daley told the Free Beacon. The work includes building the management capacity in government hospitals throughout Ethiopia to maximize the productivity of their resources and deliver higher quality services.

CHAI had been working with the Ethiopian Government to begin this hospital management program with funding from other donors prior to the CDC getting involved, Daley said. The CDC came in later to add funding for the work so it made sense for the Ethiopian Government and the CDC to have CHAI continue the work we had already been doing.

Daley said CHAI does not normally accept grants from the US government, but said the Clinton charity was the ideal group for the CDC.

Aside from millions given to the health initiative, the Clinton Foundation itself has received more than $1.4 million in U.S. taxpayer funding from federal agencies and the 2009 stimulus law.

The Clinton Foundation lists several state and federal agencies as financial contributors, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Clinton Foundation lists EPA as having contributed between $1,001 and $5,000.

However, EPA spokesperson Laura Allen said her agency does not have any record of a donation to the Clinton Foundation.
