How Hillary Clinton's White House loss may be a 'double-edged sword' for the Clinton Foundation

Despite scoring relatively high in accountability and transparency by nonprofit watchdogs, the foundation nonetheless became a flash-point in the 2016 election. It was dogged by accusations of influence peddling and conflicts of interests due in large part to hefty contributions from foreign governments and other influential donors. Since the organization's inception, tens of millions from big donors have flowed to the organization, according to the Foundation's public database.

As emails disclosed by WikiLeaks laid bare internal concerns about how the Clinton Foundation's funding might impact the former Secretary of State's run for the Oval Office, former President Bill Clinton announced in August that the nonprofit would reject corporate and foreign donations if Hillary Clinton prevailed in her campaign.

Yet as the country prepares to inaugurate President-elect Donald Trump, the point may be moot at best, philanthropy experts told CNBC recently. That is because neither Clinton will occupy a prominent role in government in the immediate future—curtailing the willingness of at least some big donors to try and curry favor with the foundation by writing large checks.  Because Hillary Clinton is no longer seen as a president in waiting, contributors may look elsewhere and the foundation may have to rethink its scope and priorities, these experts say.

"I would expect there will be much greater difficulties in fundraising for the organization," Leslie Lenkowsky, a professor with Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University, told CNBC in an interview. Hillary Clinton "technically has no political prospects ahead of her. They're both important people, but dealing with a past president and future president were attractive to a number of donors," Lenkowsky said. Some of the largest checks came from a range of influential donors like the governments of Norway, Australia and Kuwait.

Barry probably wants the foundation to stay active so that he can use it against his opponent when Bill and Barry both campaign to be King of the UN.

Hillary? she wants to be in charge of Spectre or Thrush or CHAOS. It is a more natural alignment for her.

“Despite scoring relatively high in accountability and transparency by nonprofit watchdogs”

Must be why the Foundation had to go back years in their Financials and cough up millions of dollars to Uncle Sam. “Watchdogs” pffft, Don't even get be started on a 10% donation rate and their raping of the country of Haiti.

[Fhios]

In her plea bargaining, forbid Her from lobbying. PErhaps Bill and Chelsea too if it runs into RICO.

...Despite scoring relatively high in accountability and transparency by nonprofit watchdogs,
The author lost me there. Must be leftist “nonprofit” “watchdogs...

5 percent to charity and keeping 95 percent is a figure only a Family Crime Syndicate would call high accountability.

But, as always the rules are always different for Democrats.

[newnhdad]

the clintons will find a way to keep the cash flowing. They will use other “charities” so watch which executive boards they sit on. Those will suddenly become very profitable.

[bert]

OK, what if they abandon the influence and peddle power. The money now amassed is uncountable. That money can be transmitted to power. Can’t they now peddle the power to be transmitted?

[Liz]

Just close it up......its a useless shady foundation.

Moreover, the conniving Clintons used the offices of the State Dept and classified info belonging to taxpayers to enrich themselves.

Taxpayers demand reparations ..... any money made belongs to them.

[shhrubbery!]

They’ve got to start peddling the possibility of Chelsea getting in politics to try to keep the payoffs rolling in.

Right, but how pathetic is that?

Even if Chelsea could muscle out the current officeholder for Westchester's Congressional district, what favors could a freshman Congresswoman have to hand out to donors?

Hillary’s Two Official Favors To Morocco Resulted In $28 Million For Clinton Foundation.....a naked bribe and a major scandal, perhaps the greatest U.S. diplomatic scandal of all time....and unreported.

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

TIME LINE TO CLINTON RICHES--
The MO pols use to steal from taxpayers includes foreign aid.

2008---the US State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) (chaired by Hillary) commenced a five-year, $697.5 million compact with the Kingdom of Morocco to reduce poverty and stimulate economic growth.

The State Dept's MCC compact invests in expansion of fruit tree agriculture (including olives, nuts, and dates), support for small-scale fisheries and fish-markets, enhancement of the artisanal sector in the city of Fes, and training for small-scale businesses across all these sectors .........with an emphasis on training for women and youth including literacy training.

2012---Former Secy of State Hillary Clinton shakes hands with Morocco's
Foreign Minister Saad Eddine Othmani in Rabat Feb 26, 2012.

2015--Former US president Bill Clinton, on a private visit to Morocco, was received in the Rabat royal palace by HM King Mohammed VI.

ABC News reported in may 6, 2015 that ex-president Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation’s Global Initiative were being hosted at a five-star luxury hotel in Morocco by one of the world's most controversial mining companies, criticized for "serious human rights violations" by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice.

The Moroccan government-owned mining company OCP operates in disputed international territory in a remote part of the Saharan Desert and the firm has been criticized for removing the resources without adequately compensating the impoverished people who live there.“

Any time the human rights of a population are systematically suppressed in this type of way it's a serious concern, and I think it's worthy of attention,” said David McKean, who has studied the issue for the RFK center.

OCP mining paid $1 million to help host the event and throw a private cocktail reception, to the dismay of human rights activists.

2015---Hillary Gets Paid Off By The King Of Morocco: Bill Clinton got (a) paid speeches, (b) Clinton Foundation donations, and, in return, then-Secy Hillary would give US support from the State Dept. Despite Morocco's human rights abuses, Hillary was viewed as being “among its most ardent supporters in the Obama administration.”

WIKILEAKS---"This was HRC’s idea, our office approached the Moroccans and they 100 percent believe they are doing this at her request. The King has personally committed approx. $12 million both for the endowment and to support the meeting.”

Abedin said Clinton’s attendance at the CGI event was a condition of the $12 million contribution. “Just to give you some context, the condition upon which the Moroccans agreed to host the meeting was her participation. If HRC was not part if it, meeting was a non-starter,” Abedin said.

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

2016 OBAMAS READY TO CASH-IN---Pres O gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation (chaired by Hillary) on Michele's visit to Morocco for the purpose of "teaching Muslim girls"...... to be administered by the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.

Michele, her daughters and her mother in Morocco's palace.

Look at that smile----getting 100 million tax dollars to spend in Chicago makes even greedy Michele smile.

[pepsionice]

I would agree on speech fees for them. Bill still might pull a $20,000 fee...but Hillary? I’ll bet for 2017....she makes no more than two speeches and no more than $10,000 for each.

I also think some IRS changes are coming to these foundations and it won’t be pleasant for any of the political foundations (lot more oversight probably coming).

I read yesterday where some fool is urging Trump to appoint her to UN Ambassador! What better way to strongarm foreign donors? People are such fools.

[ptsal]

Chelsea’s hubby will be providing investment advice...just a guess.

[BenLurkin]

Good point!

[rockrr]

Cliton accepted multiple millions of dollars with the expectation of a quid pro quo. Now she is unable to deliver her end of the unholy bargain. There is gonna be hell to pay.

I hope the House of Saud takes her out.

The question always begging for an answer is ----did the buck-raking
charitable Clinton Foundation use the money solicited for charity go to the intended charity?

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

PODESTA EMAIL Mentions CHAI, AFL-CIO, Deutsche Bank.......indicates Podesta aided and abetted the Clinton Foundation's tax fraud and money laundering.

<><> ....(money raised for) the Island initiative budget "as is" includes a $100,000 salary for Ira (on top of his CHAI salary) and a staff of nine (that Ira said he did not need) .....

<><> ...... Swedish post code lottery donor funds (to be split among them)......

<><>....using Clinton Foundation funds to fund AFL-CIO/pension fund retrofit work.

More like a stilleto.

You forgot Chelsea and her spouse and kid.

[bert]

There is in essence no accounting. The money has been dispersed in so many directions, it is for all practical purposes gone absent the disbursal journal

[rockrr]

Chelsea? Take over for Ma n Pa?!
