The Clinton Foundation has raised 2 Billion- Why?

[Csainvestor]

Most people ignore the foundation, it doesn't get any scrutiny, the media pretends the Clinton Foundation doesn't even exist.

many of the foundation’s biggest donors are foreigners who are legally barred from giving to U.S. political candidates.

In 2013 the very year Hillary Rodham Clinton stepped down as secretary of state, the foundation rasied $262 million.

Almost half of the major donors who are backing her 2016 presidential bid, and almost half of the bundlers from her 2008 campaign, have given at least $10,000 to the foundation. Some on their own or through foundations or companies they they run.

Because of the Clintons close ties to Wall Street, the donations from the financial services sector represent the largest share of corporate donors to the foundation.

1. Congrats. You are in competition for the silliest post of the day.

[revbones]

4. Yeah, but they're running around 16th behind 15 from Hillary followers as usual... nt

2. I think a more relevant question is "how"?

What is the intent of the megadonors? What do they think they are purchasing?

11. By far most donate to projects in their own nations.

3. It's the slush fund... Money Goes in.... State department favors go out...

But Hillarians say we can't explain that...

[MineralMan]

5. Uh, to carry out the goals of the Foundation?

That would be my guess. Have you looked into what it does? I suggest that you do that and then you won't have that question.

Here. Go to the link and look under the "Our Work" tab:

7. Well that explains 10%. What about the other 90%???

no need to answer. The question is rhetorical in so far as no one external to the foundation can answer it.

12. How bout this ...

14. Nonsense. Charity Watch calculated 88% to the

goals of the charity, 12% to overhead, which is an A rating.

While some are imagining that trashing people working to better the world is somehow a positive contribution, others are out there working on initiatives that are sending millions to college, provide clean drinking water for millions, organize churches across whole nations to fight disease, facilitating new local businesses to meet basic needs locally and inexpensively, teach farmers more productive techniques, eliminate preventable blindness across major regions, and literally hundreds of other projects, many focusing on permanently improving the wellbeing of women and children -- conceived and lead by local people enabled by the foundation's fundraising.

Now you know how so many conservatives find themselves supporting bad behavior they would never condone if their partisan blinders were removed.

6. Umm, because it's a huge charity that does work all over the world.

8. I suspect this will factor into it quite a bit...

We will see how the 'refile' and 'audit' go eh?

those that have given, some show up within Panama Papers, so let's see how much of the over a terabyte of data shows us eh?

10. We know the Clinton's are dirty

Let's hope the sunshine can Bern them. At least this might help people make up their minds in the election. It makes the Clinton's look bad again. I wonder what we'll know in 3 weeks.

15. Dirty is being kind.

13. Can you say conflict of interests?

At the very, very least.
