Yes. Transparent is having to go back through 5 years of lies on reporting donations and ‘resubmit’ ONLY after having been caught to violate agreements with the government. That’s transparent. She really is as effing dumb as she looks.
If hey are so transparent, why are they having to resubmit tax returns that omitted contributions tied to the Uranium fiasco.?
Who can blame the poor girl? She sees her political future going down the toilet too.
Well dear, then please explain why no foreign company could receive a contract to rehabilitate their cities unless and until they BRIBED YOUR FOLKS?
Chelsea Hubbell speaks.
Of course she is an independent judge with no vested interest.
Transparently, the entire family is a bunch of grifters, selling out our nation’s interests for personal enrichment
Since Chelsea’s name is part of the Clinton Crime Foundation, then I guess she is gonna get a subpoena.
Yes. I’d call ‘transparent’ a 15% $-to-problem spend rate. That pesky 60% they spend on salaries and the other 25% they spend on ‘expenses’ are just accounting flukes. Effing grifters.
She should be in jail with the other two, IMO. You play, you pay.
The apple doesn’t rot far from the tree...
Did Bill and Hillary include Chelsea to make their criminal enterprise look to be like a foundation that gives money to some PBS nature production?
Webb Hubbell’s kid must be worried that the Clinton Crime Family Foundation is going to sweep her and her hedge fund husband into prison with her father-in-law.
She's an adult ON THE PAYROLL of this foundation. She is absolutely fair game.
And, by the way, who exactly is "Transparency International"?
I didn’t even read the whole article. Didn’t have to. “Among the most transparent”? A charity should be completely transparent. (A):This is where the money comes from and (B):This is where the money goes. Anything hidden within a charitable foundation is cause for concern.
That would be a great outcome.
I wonder if Webb would get custody of the granddaughter while they serve their terms?
She’s right, it didn’t take much digging to see what they were doing there. They hid things about as well as Bill hid his cigars.
As transparent as yer daddy, Web...
