Newly released tax documents showing a plunge in Clinton Foundation donations after Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential election defeat have fueled long-standing Republican allegations of possible “pay-to-play” transactions at the organization, amid a Justice Department probe covering foundation issues.
The tax filings, which were made public this month, show the Clinton Foundation pulled in $62.9 million in 2016, but only $26.6 million the following year, representing a nearly 58 percent drop. Tax documents for 2018 are not yet available.
A spokesman for the foundation told The New York Post, which first reported the figures, that they “anticipated a decline” in 2017 and said it was “largely attributable to the absence of sponsorship and membership contributions for CGI [Clinton Global Initiative].”

What happened?!
Nobody likes an old Democrat politician who can’t hand out other people’s money.
They ran out of product....................
Was there any doubt that the Clinton Crime Family is all about Pay For Play?
They should have priced by the pound.
Down 90% from when she was SoS
They'll now claim that it's Trump's fault that nobody is asking them to speak for many hundreds of thousands of dollars and not sending HUGE checks to the SLUSH FUND, errr errr ewrrr "FOUNDATION".
Let’s say she runs again in 2020.
Will the world’s powers contribute again?
I like that word: CON + TRIBUTE.................
I never made any donations to the Clinton foundation.
I never even bought carbon credits with Al Gore.
I’m remiss in my duties..........
Sarcasm.......
Alright I hate to be a negative Nancy but I think I’ve heard this song before.
Maybe she’ll run a NPR like beg-a-thon.
Faux News must be seeing a fall off of views since they decided to follow PMSNBC.
GOP scrutiny
**************
Unfortunately it was too little, too late. Situation normal for the GOP.
Gee, imagine that
Trump upsets hilLIAR and now all the Corrupts are upset
Both within and without
Fake post
It’s probably a lot worse than the decline 2017 over 2016 suggests, because.....
(1) the figures were higher when she was actually IN govt as Secretary of State, and
(2) a lot of “charitable” giving is done in multi-year pledges, so the 2017 “donations” (probably) include a lot of money pledged in previous years. It would be interesting if someone can dig into whether this is the case.
Anyway, the obvious point remains that once she had no high govt office to sell the interest of 3rd parties in “donating” to the Clinton Foundation dried up fast.
Guess they will just have to suffer with their $2billon kitty.
this will please the Obamas. it’s their Foundation’s turn now.
