Oh-oh! Donations plunge to Clinton Foundation as Hillary speech money dries up
American Thinker ^ | 11/20/2016 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 11/21/2016 8:31:28 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Even before her defeat for the presidency, Hillary Clinton’s departure from the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation crippled its fundraising for that “good work” we have repeatedly been assured the foundation does.  Like hiring members of the Clinton machine to plot...Chelsea’s rise as a candidate for Congress.

Khaleda Raman reports for the U.K. Daily Mail:

Donations to the Clinton Foundation plummeted amid Hillary Clinton's failed presidential run, it has been revealed.

The non-profit organization's latest tax filings show contributions fell 37 per cent to $108million - down from $172million in 2014, according to the New York Post.

Donations fell as the former Secretary of State left the group in April last year shortly after announcing her run for the White House.

Her departure also meant that revenue brought in from paid speeches plunged from $3.6million in 2014 to just $357,500.

Why, it’s almost enough to make you believe that Hillary’s speeches weren’t about wonderfully entertaining and enlightening presentations at all, but rather about bribing a future president.

It’s all good—Chelsea still just can’t care about money.

Donating to the Clinton Foundation is as good as pissing in the wind.

Poor babies....in addition to what they looted and have hidden, as an ex-president Bill Clinton receives $205,700 pension every 30 days...."transition to ordinary life" benefit$.....free office space and support staff.....travel funds.....free mailing privileges.....Secret Service protection for life.....an exclusive For-Ex-Presidents-Only DC townhouse with staff to stay in for free when making trips to the capitol......free medical for life for ex and family at any military hospital.....and, of course, a full State Funeral and burial with all the trappings for free.

I haven't even begun to dig up everything poor Hillary gets from being a senator and U.S. Secretary of State. I was crying too hard to continue.....their plight is so sad....

Boo hoo.....

I get lots of great conservative e-mails from a dear friend - many with photos/pictures, but I have very few posting skills. Can manage to cut & paste.

I think she is eminently qualified to be the U.S. ambassador to Antarctica.

But al the donors said it was For The Children, what changed? What made the plight of millions of women and children suddenly so much better?

To post a picture on here, you have to have your pictures hosted on a photo website and then use the url to post. There's something here called "The Sandbox" [click] that will help you learn some stuff. Better than one person could explain it if you wish to try your hand.

No matter what transpires, the Clinton’s will be miserable for the rest of their vile, miserable lives.


Leftists tend to be genetically unhappy. The unending search for unearned wealth and power fills a void up unhappiness in their hearts.

Exactly.

And they are so envious of Donald Trump that they can taste it.

“This is why President Trump needs to appoint her as an Ambassador to Haiti or Libya or Syria.”

There would some incredible irony if Trump nominated her to be the next ambassador to Libya.

Ha, I’d love to see that. She could get a first-hand view of the mess she helped to create.

ironic since they had the wizard of Oz on tv last night

They still do that? My year was not complete without seeing the Wiz on that Sunday night broadcast back 50+ years ago. It was a signpost on the way to Christmas for us kids.

And now, it looks as if Christmas has arrived!

Bill Clinton was a complicit bribe taker for hillary clinton and should be imprisoned.

She will still have her speaking engagements to the audiences of true believers, but the long green will have turned brown.

They were “flat broke” when they left the White House, ya know. And Bill’s been workin’ so hard building the foundation. Just ask ‘em!

Boy, I would hate to see poor Chelsea have to sell her 10 million dollar apartment.

“This is why President Trump needs to appoint her as an Ambassador to Haiti or Libya or Syria.”

And then remove all the embassy guards and marines after publicly announcing that the Department of State was taking the locks off all the doors

Hillary emerges from seclusion, spots shadow & returns home, signaling 6 more weeks of federal investigation

Can we take all the Clintooons and all the Bushes and isolate them on a remote island until one side or the other emerges victorious and then we let them return to the US and we seize all ill-gotten gains ... maybe sequester them in compounds? ;^)
