Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton issued a pointed defense of her family foundation on Thursday after allegations surfaced that it reaped millions from foreign countries that had issues pending before her mother when she was secretary of state.

'What the Clinton Foundation has said is that we will be even more transparent' in the wake of the scandalous claims, said Chelsea, the philanthropy's vice chair, 'even though Transparency International and others have said we're among the most transparent of foundations.'

Clinton, the daughter of former U.S. president Bill Clinton and presumptive Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, spoke during an event on women and girls at the Council on Foreign Relatiosn in New York City.

Chels, according to this graphic from the bottom of your Clinton Foundation website, 88.4% of collected funds go to programs.

But it has been shown only 15% goes to 'programs' and such. I say you got some 'splainin to do...
In the meantime, don't hit your head on that transparency, honey!

Chelsea's abode must have been paid for solely from the sales of her mother's book. (Loads of sarcastic snickering here)

“Chelsea pledged, saying that ‘we won’t take new government funding”

That statement implies that they were taking government funding - but from whom? other nations? Out of the mouths of babes =)

Yeah, it's transparent, all right...

It's transparently an criminal money-laundering enterprise that is in need of a RICO enema.
