The Clinton Global Initiative scam is crashing
American Thinker ^ | June 14, 2016 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 10/20/2016 2:30:03 PM PDT by Beautiful_Gracious_Skies

According to Sarah Westwood, at the Washington Examiner, fewer than half of the projects undertaken by the Clinton Global Initiative since 2005 have been completed, with roughly a third underway and more than 200 others "stalled" or "unfulfilled."

Between 2005-2015 there were 3,452 commitments made through CGI. Of those, according to the newly disclosed report, six percent were “unfulfilled,” or failed.

But that number might not tell the whole story. An additional 11 percent of commitments in the report — and excluded from the analysis — are labeled “unresponsive,” which means that no progress has been reported in more than two years. It’s likely that some, or perhaps most, of those commitments also didn’t succeed, though impossible to determine due to a lack of information. A further 2 percent of commitments are stalled.

One thing the CGI always succeeds at is the glittery gatherings of elites at its meetings, such as the current gala underway in Atlanta, June 12-14.

For all the glitz, the CGI’s trajectory is downward. Westwood notes:

According to the report, the Clinton Global Initiative received an all-time low number of commitments in 2015, the year Hillary Clinton launched her presidential campaign and drew a deluge of negative attention to the Clinton Foundation's work.

I have no information on any Clinton political operatives who have worked in off years for the CGI, but we know that the Clinton Foundation has served to keep the machine apparatchiks funded while not actively engaged in campaigning. I’d also be interested in knowing what percentage of the moneys raised has gone to lavish meetings and first-class travel.

Sunlight, as the saying goes, is the best disinfectant. I suspect that the list of corporations willing to be identified as funders of the CGI is declining with every revelation of Clinton malfeasance.

I think its funny, that the Clinton foundation allegedly saves lives, yet nothing was said about it at Hillary’s convention.

It’s hard to fulfill the promises when the foundation eats up 95% of the money on expenses.

EMPHASIS should be placed here: the Clintons raised money for a specific project, and got people to contribute for that particular project ....... by snailmail or email. No when the project stalled and the contributions were diverted elsewhere...perhaps for travel, salaries, glitzy events......that is considered mail/electronic fraud.

“eats up” . . . Try looking for a bank account in Switzerland. The Clintons are going to need to flee the country an hide out somewhere.

Today on Fox Business News, a well respected atty from a well known law firm that specializes in forensic audits have meticulously gone through the Clinton Foundation’s reported tax submissions and compared them with other information leaked by WikiLeaks and other collected data and concluded WITHOUT A DOUBT that none of their numbers have matched up for years! That’s right, YEARS!

This scandal is growing folks and as Rhett Butler would say, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” if the Russians were involved in leaking these emails or not. THE FACT IS THEY EXPOSE THE CLINTON CRIME FAMILY!!!

Didn’t she claim to be “poor” when they left the WH?

Yep, and given their tendency to steal whatever isn’t nailed-down, this may be the first time a Clinton actually LEFT something behind!

I bet Trump could get the projects back on schedule. She’d better ask quick, however, as come January 20, he’ll be a little busy.

Yup the turd brains dumped the bus tanks on a street just outside of Atlanta. PD FD and HAZMAT were called out to handle it. Clean up by the HM folks I am sure was expensive. Dems said ooops sorry. Morons

Pay for play will ensure rooms available in an embassy somewhere. They will imprison themselves there.

This has long been the elephant in the room that the Democrats do not want exposed. If Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation have spent decades making the lives of countless people, especially women and children, so much better, WHERE are the success stories? Why weren’t there dozens of people lining up to speak at the convention and why aren’t any stories on the national media interviewing all the people she has helped? The answer is simple - and simply devastating - there aren’t any regular people whose lives and families have been helped by Hillary Clinton because she is now as she has always been...an utterly self-serving, dishonest, manipulative evil woman, who uses anyone she can and destroys anyone who gets in her way. THAT is the story that the media doesn’t want to ask about because they already know the answer but she is a “Progressive” which is the altar at which most of them worship as well.

Do I sound angry and frustrated? Yes! But, do I know that God is still in control and will allow us to fall just far enough to recognize our need for Him, above ALL else! Absolutely YES!
