Donations to Clinton Foundation fell by 37 percent

Donations to the Clinton Foundation nose-dived last year amid Hillary Clinton’s presidential run, pay-to-play allegations, internal strife and a black mark from a charity watchdog.

Contributions fell by 37 percent to $108 million, down from $172 million in 2014, according to the group’s latest tax filings.

The cash plummeted as Hillary Clinton left the nonprofit in April 2015 after announcing her ill-fated candidacy. The foundation became a major issue in the race, with Donald Trump vowing to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate it.

Whether that effort will go forward is not clear. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), head of the House Oversight Committee, has indicated a probe into the foundation will continue.

Not only did contributions drop, but so did revenue the Clintons brought in from speeches. That income fell to $357,500 from $3.6 million in 2014.

Whoo Hoooo !!!!! .. the RATS are deserting the ship.

Proves what I said the other day .. those who want her pardoned .. are involved in her money scheme .. and now they want OUT so they can avoid exposure.

If we do any investigation .. I WANT TO SEE ALL THE NAMES OF PEOPLE AND COMPANIES WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THIS TREACHEROUS ORGANIZATION.

The next quarterly report is bound to be disastrous... Their influence is finished, and every donor was looking from something in return... What can Hillary offer now, other than surplus campaign memorabilia, or a speech she couldn’t get people to show up and watch for free during her campaign?

Watch them dry out completely now that they don’t buy anything.

Same with their speaking fees.

Contributions will collapse now that Hillary has no power to make payoffs for bribes. It is pointless to bribe someone who can’t help you.

The Clinton Foundation is done.

Yeah, we're putting old Jason there down as undecided...

A lot of well connected individuals, as well as foreign governments, paid good money for Hillary. Now that she’s not in a position to give them a return on their investment, will they just write it off as a loss....or will they seek retribution?

If you think contributions plummeted in 2016, wait till you see 2017.

I certainly would, and I will bet that there are a whole bunch of others and some pretty nasty ones asking for refunds also. The Clintons may have to bolt for safety before much longer. I can't understand why Huma Abedin has not gotten into the wind already.

Donations should be much better next year as the Clintons can place all their focus on the foundation without the distractions of the presidency. Or will they without access to sell...

Let’s hope they invested it well... /s

There are rumors that they managed to send upwards of $1.8 billion to Qatar.

Curiously, Qatar is one of many countries that do no have extradition treaties with the U.S.

Co-inky-dink?
