Clinton Foundation Spending: ONLY 15% ON CHARITY?
The Federalist (via Drudge) ^ | March 2, 2015 | Sean Davis

Posted on 04/21/2015 9:00:45 AM PDT by thouworm

When anyone contributes to the Clinton Foundation, it actually goes toward fat salaries, administrative bloat, and lavish travel.

Between 2009 and 2012, the Clinton Foundation raised over $500 million dollars according to a review of IRS documents by The Federalist (2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008). A measly 15 percent of that, or $75 million, went towards programmatic grants. More than $25 million went to fund travel expenses. Nearly $110 million went toward employee salaries and benefits. And a whopping $290 million during that period — nearly 60 percent of all money raised — was classified merely as “other expenses.” Official IRS forms do not list cigar or dry-cleaning expenses as a specific line item. The Clinton Foundation may well be saving lives, but it seems odd that the costs of so many life-saving activities would be classified by the organization itself as just random, miscellaneous expenses.

"Nearly $110 million went toward employee salaries and benefits."

Wasn't Chelsea making over 300,000 a year while she worked there.

So the Clintons run a foundation where 80%+ of the money goes to salaries, benefits, travel and “other.” Does this really surprise anyone? If the press were remotely fair, they would point the foundation out for the sham it is — a way for foreign governments and other connected crony capitalists to buy influence with the Clintons by paying for their luxurious lifestyles.

It would be zero percent if they didn't classify Bill's hookers as a "charity".

In a rational world, they would all be in the federal pen with Blago and Jesse Jr.

Nice job, if you can get it, and you have no ethics.

The foundation is unimportant.

The Clinton Global Initiative is the real issue.

Those $10 million dollar starter apartments in Manhattan don't grow on trees.

The money has to come from somewhere.

And Hillary and Bill wee dead broke.....

Quite a trippy family. One of my wife’s girlfriends husband cheated on her and they have 2 daughter, Neither of the daughters wants to be in the same room as their father anymore. I wonder how Chelsea does it? Knowing that her dad is banging other women even now while being married to her mom

It was set up to enrich the Clintons who are no doubt paid huge salaries for being on the board.

I didn't realize Webb Hubbell was that much of a swordsman.

“Clinton Cash” is said to contain the interrelationship of all these global charities, and their cash, that pass money between themselves.

It is the perfect laundry machine.

This will be the largest call for popcorn ever.
