Clinton Family Plans to Scale Back Foundation If Hillary Clinton Wins Election James V. Grimaldi and Peter Nicholas Aug. 18, 2016 7:10 p.m. ET

Former President Bill Clinton and his daughter, Chelsea, plan to stop raising money for the Clinton Foundation and turn over operations to independent parties if Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton is elected president, according to people familiar with the plans.

The Clintons also plan to discontinue after this year one of the foundation’s signature events, the Clinton Global Initiative, Mr. Clinton told the staff at the foundation’s headquarters in New York on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter.

Next month’s annual meeting aims to draw commitments from corporations, philanthropies and others to seek to remedy global problems such as poverty and AIDS.

The Clinton Foundation also would no longer accept foreign and corporate donations if Mrs. Clinton were elected president, a foundation official said on Thursday.

It will have served its purpose.

Every politician will want of his/her own.


Barry’s already got his set up for when he leaves office:

http://www.barackobamafoundation.org/

“As President Obama has said, the change we seek will take longer than one term or one presidency. Real change—big change—takes many years and requires each generation to embrace the obligations and opportunities that come with the title of Citizen.

The Obama Foundation will inspire the next generation of young leaders all over the world. It will convene the brightest minds with the newest ideas from across the political spectrum and draw strength from the rich diversity and vitality of Chicago, the city where the President and First Lady started a family and raised their daughters.

But most of all, the Foundation will ask all of us to take on big challenges and to believe that we can meet them together. Our history and President Obama’s legacy give us hope that even the most difficult change is possible, and the Foundation exists to carry on that great, unfinished project of renewal and global progress.”

“Inform.

Inform visitors about our civic rights and responsibilities and inspire citizens to get engaged.

Empower.

Empower individuals who are leading change around the world, and help develop new ways to enable all citizens to take action.

Connect.

Connect people from different communities and disciplines to create new approaches to solving our biggest challenges.

Translate.

Translate new ideas into concrete actions that will have a measurable impact, enlisting partners across all sectors to scale what works.”

Why would one want to scale back a charity, especially when greater visibility would allow it to do even more good things? Unless of course doing good for others wasn’t really the point.

makes sense. One one person to go through to the WH, that that would be Chelsea. She would set pricing, and take money transfers only.

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said the announcement was "too little, too late," adding, "if everything was above board while Hillary Clinton ran the State Department as the Clintons have said, then why change a thing?"

Note: Scaled back != suspended. We know how the Clintons push the law just past the acceptable limit and then revel in getting away with it while the media enthusiastically cheers them on and the Justice department turns their head.

They won’t need the foreign donors and business scams if she gets her hands on the US Treasury.

If anyone believes this, they need their head examined. The Clintons are LIARS. 100%, bald-faced, complete and total LIARS. Nothing but LIARS.

They'll change the name of the organization, or they'll find a loophole, or they'll launder the money, or they'll find a tax payer funded way of creating their wicked organization.

Liars...pure and simple.

I am amazed that anyone would trust them.

oh yeah, like that will somehow eliminate the years and years of pandering to foreign dictators and thugocracies, Islamo-fascist scumbags, and every corrupt interest the Clintonistas could find.

Just the fact that they would do this now shows that they know the past activities have been “inappropriate” and worse..... ofc when Shrillary was Secy of State the Clintons did not restrain themselves, and in fact Bill rakes in countless millions directly, personally, not only through the CF.
