Clinton Foundation Events Colliding With Campaign
(donors/staff say no to elevating Chelsea)
POLITICO: The Clinton Foundation may scale back its operation during Hillary/s campaign which is now considered a "distraction" by some of Hillary/s supporters. The Clinton Global Initiative...the playground of the rich and famous and the foundation/s do-good showcase headed by Bill, Hillary and Chelsea....is catching heat from some donors.
"Corporate donors have expressed reservations about writing sponsorship checks to have CEOs appear on CGI panels with Chelsea, not her father," Politico says. "And some Clinton Foundation staffers bristled when [Chelsea] was elevated to a named foundation principle." Donors also found it "haughty" when official materials began referring to Chelsea as "Dr. Chelsea Clinton" .... which refers to her PhD in international relations from Oxford (which Bill also attended).
The foundation is so concerned, it has commissioned a top Boston consulting firm to study how to improve CGI operation. Clinton Foundation CEO Donna Shalala has warned staff of "possible restructuring and election year uncertainty."
Philanthropy professional Derek Yach, an adviser to CGI, says that Chelsea would likely concede she is "not yet at the level of unique convening capability of her father." There is "a little bit of caution" around CGI until "we know the result of the election."

NYT Smacks Down Clinton Foundation / By Politisite, Aug 24, 2013
Soon after the 10th anniversary of the foundation bearing his name, Bill Clinton met with a small group of aides and two lawyers from Simpson Thacher & Bartlett. Two weeks of interviews with Clinton Foundation executives and former employees had led the lawyers to some unsettling conclusions.
The review eerily echoed criticism of Clinton/s early years in the White House: For all of its successes, the Clinton Foundation had become a sprawling concern, inadequately supervised by a rotating board of old Clinton hands, vulnerable to distraction and threatened by conflicts of interest. It ran multimillion-dollar deficits for several years, despite vast amounts of money flowing in.
And concern was rising inside and outside the organization about Douglas J. Band, a one-time personal assistant to Clinton who had started a lucrative corporate consulting firm — which Clinton joined as a paid adviser — while overseeing the Clinton Global Initiative, the foundation’s glitzy annual gathering of chief executives, heads of state, and celebrities.
The review set off more than a year of internal debate, and spurred an evolution in the organization that included Clinton daughter, Chelsea, taking on a dominant new role as the family grappled with the question of whether the foundation — and its globe-spanning efforts to combat AIDS, obesity and poverty — would survive its founder.
Now those efforts are taking on new urgency. In the coming weeks, the foundation, long Bill Clinton/s domain since its formation in 2001, will become the nerve center of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s increasingly busy public life.

Priceless information, Liz. This is good stuff.
When we get to see the foreign and domestic sycophants at the Clinton Foundation set back on their heels, you gotta hand it to TRUMP. TRUMP hasn’t even started on Hillary, Liz.
When the Clinton Campaign comes after him in the 100 days following these party conventions, TRUMP will lay the hammer on the Clinton Foundation, never mind the scandals of Benghazi and the Email charade. The big stuff is buried in that damned Foundation.
Hillary is a globalist embed for the Arabs, and Soros, the same as Bark and Moo Shell.
