2 Questions about the Clinton Foundation
1) Did the funds received by the Clinton Foundation both domestic and foreign go
100% to charity outside of operational and administrative expenses?
2) Why does my skin crawl and I think of Whitewater and Benghazi when our "liberal
media," uses terms such as "Clinton Cash?"
Thank you and grab something to eat.
1) Since its creation in 2001, the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation has raised close to $2 billion. The Post review of foundation data, updated this month on the group’s Web site to reflect giving through 2014, found substantial overlap between the Clinton political machinery and the foundation. Between 2009 and 2012, the The Federalist reported that the Clinton Foundation raised more than $500 million dollars according to its IRS filings. 15% of that, or $75 million, was spent on charitable activities. More than $25 million was spent on travel expenses. Nearly $110 million went toward employee salaries and benefits.

2) Geez, IDK... maybe because this is typical Clinton criminal activity carried over for the last 40 years or so?

3. Well the primaries haven't started, we can advocate for or against anyone we like.
I'm advocating against the Clintons, Hillary in particular, but you can't divorce her from the foundation.
While Secretary of State, there is the appearance that she gave the green light to activities that later might have resulted in tens of millions of dollars being passed to her foundation.
Bad form!
Foundation funds pay for fabulous trips all over the world, jets, limos, and I think their daughter enjoyed a nice salary. Maybe she still does, I'm not sure.
No way does this look good for our her.
It's not a Republican problem, it's a Hillary problem.
She needs to step down while there's still time to find a genuine champion.
Ignore the problem and it will go away.

2. Why are they...so concerned about money all of a sudden??
I thought that Citizens United gives sanction to all forms of cash-flow?
Clinton takes millions in bribes to help causes as SoS and it's just no big deal.

6. Answer: 1: NO. Only 32% of CGI revenue was spend on grants paid out.
Reported prior year figures reported on their 2013 Form 990:
Revenue: $28,221,924
Grants paid: $8,975,872
Salaries, benefits: $6,949,577
Other expenses: $12,296,668
Less than 32% of the revenue was spent on grants paid out.
Over 24% was spent on salaries and benefits.
"Other expenses" accounted for almost 44%.

It's less than that, really. Hillarya nd family 'forgot' to add millions donated by foreign doners over the last three years. Charity output: about 16%.
Yeah... that form 990? The one they have to refile the last five years on? Yeah... that one...
Through their foundation, Ortel contends, the Clintons have defrauded an unsuspecting international public of hundreds of millions of dollars for personal gain. “The numbers that the Clinton Foundation supply to the global public in its legally mandated filings do not add up, are frequently incorrect and overall appear to be materially misleading,†Ortel explained.
Hillary Clinton's family's charities are refiling at least five annual tax returns after a Reuters review found errors in how they reported donations from governments, and said they may audit other Clinton Foundation returns in case of other errors.
For three years in a row beginning in 2010, the Clinton Foundation reported to the IRS that it received zero in funds from foreign and U.S. governments, a dramatic fall-off from the tens of millions of dollars in foreign government contributions reported in preceding years.
