What is this slush fund? Who gave her money when she was Sec of State? Please substantiate these assertions.
- douche 10y agoThe Clinton Foundation is a slush fund. I spent a higher percentage of my income on actual charity than they have in recent years.
- saalweachter 10y agoYou've spent over 88% of your income[1] on charity? That's awesome, keep up the good work! [1] https://www.charitywatch.org/ratings-and-metrics/bill-hillary-chelsea-clinton-foundation/478 https://www.charitywatch.org/ratings-and-metrics/bill-hillar...
- jomamaxx 10y agoHa ha ... the Clinton Foundation is an 'operating foundation' - which means it doesn't give it's money away like other charities. So - if this was like the 'Christian Children's Fund' - than that 88% would be 88% of the money goes to Haiti or wherever, with 12% overhead. The 'Clinton Fund' doesn't give any money away, the operate their own missions and programs - meaning that - of that 88% , any amount can go to 'consultants' 'lawyers' 'research' 'friends' 'conferences' etc.. And it does. That's a lot of money to spend - and 100% of those people work directly for Clinton Corp..
- jomamaxx 10y agoThe Clinton Foundation is supposed to be a charity but they spend almost nothing on charity - their expenses are 'conferences', trips, meetings - basically Bill and Hillary's personal expense account for things they cannot bill to the government or some other sponsor. Also, they can make ads that promote 'narrative' and the 'personal brand' of Hillary.
- tacomonstrous 10y agoCan you provide evidence for these claims?

- tacomonstrous 10y agoCan you point to the part of that article that offers any concrete evidence of wrongdoing?
- leereeves 10y ago> Fewer than half the jobs promised at the industrial park, built after 366 farmers were evicted from their lands, have materialized. Many millions of dollars earmarked for relief efforts have yet to be spent [six years later]. Mrs. Clinton’s brother Tony Rodham has turned up in business ventures on the island
- tacomonstrous 10y agoWhich of those appears to be concrete proof of wrongdoing to you? Is there any evidence that her brother benefited from the Foundation's actions? All I see are insinuations.
- leereeves 10y agoMillions of dollars donated for Haiti disaster relief weren't spent on disaster relief. That doesn't seem like wrongdoing to you?
