TheBlueVue 177 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Well, it appears when there is no longer any power of political office from which to grant special dispensations in return for "charitable donations" few other options exist but to shut it down. https://labor.ny.gov/app/warn/details.asp?id=5801 The largest unprosecuted money laundering racket in American history is closing. At least the timing involved doesn't create any appearance of impropriety... One cant help but wonder how the children of Africa will survive w/o the Clintons spending roughly 6% of their "Foundation's" yearly gross on them.

AURaptor 1,125 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm sure it was such a tremendous success, there's no need for it any longer ? Quote The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) convenes leaders to drive action through its unique model. Rather than directly implementing projects, CGI facilitates action by helping members connect, collaborate, and make effective and measurable Commitments to Action. Mission accomplished !!! Right ? Yes, old news Texas. Of course, Hillary was suppose to be in the WH , so there would be no more need to fleece donors of millions. She was suppose to be in a position to pay back some of those who so generously gave ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If Breitbart and Fox are going on and on and on about how laced with controversy this organization is, that’s going to sound alarms to companies that are very risk averse," said Susan McPherson, a CGI member and CEO of McPherson Strategies, which advises corporate clients on philanthropic giving. "When you couple that with the presidential race, it makes it even riskier for them. They don’t want to be seen as pay-to-play if Hillary Clinton becomes president, and that has certainly had an effect this year." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision to close the CGI was publicly promised by HRC herself prior to the election in order to remove any conflict of interest issues should she become president. Except uh ... ... she didn't become president so, there can't possibly be any of those entangling conflict of interest problems now, right? Right?

It's clear the real purpose was exactly a conflict of interest, because the entire Foundation was a big pay-for-play scam. This was just the most direct, overtly criminal side of it, which is why it had to go away , once she was elected. Only, she wasn't... Nope, still closing it.

Quibble about the numbers if you must but what is publicly known about that "Foundation" is they spend more on salaries and expenses than they do on charitable giving. As a result its not even considered a charity by many. If not a charity then what is it? Honest people can admit what it is and others will cover for the Clintons no matter what. "Clinton Foundation’s latest IRS Form 990 shows total revenue of nearly $149 million in 2013, and total charitable grant disbursements of nearly $9 million (see page 10). That comes to roughly 6 percent of the budget going to grants.

alexava 6,973 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The Clinton Foundation is an operating foundation. Most of the money raised by the foundation is spent directly on their own programs, and not as grants to other charitable organizations(this is where the 6% number gets misused) It is misused intentionally by smart people with an agenda and paraded around by idiots who can't look it up themselves. They had about 12% overhead with 88% going directly into their programs which are all out their to see if you really want to know where it was used. I suspect some probably don't.

I just don't see it taking 94% to operate and use 6% to help people. Only an idiot would buy that. I had this discussion with a family member , who is an idiot recently.
