Not even close to the truth. Charity Watch says that the Clinton Foundation used 88% of its funds for charity projects. Where do you get your facts?

You may want to educate yourself…

…with actual facts, I mean.

You know including things like numbers, dates, filings, laws, persons and such.

On the other hand, maybe you don’t. :dts:

ComplineSan Fran, here is an article from just last month that you might find interesting. I was particularly impressed to learn of all the work the Clintons’ foundation has done in providing for new born infants (for example the infant warmer to parts of the world which doesn’t require a fixed electrical source was news to me) and meals for children and in healthcare.

In addition, yes, the most recent Clinton Foundation rating from a watchdog group, CharityWatch, gives the organization a solid “A.” The group indeed says that the foundation spent 88% of its 2014 outlays directly on programs (rather than overhead) and that it only has to spend $2 to raise $100.

I’m not persuaded of this. I recall reading that much of the Clinton Foundation’s “charitable” gifts are actually to other Clinton foundations that purport to be charitable. In truth, I think it would take half the FBI and the CIA years to truly untangle the Clinton web.
 
I am not quite sure why we are discussing the Clinton Foundation iin such detail nstead of the Trump Foundation.

I do hope a check was sent to the charitable organization in Kansas that was mistakenly listed on the IRS filings.

I’m starting to wonder if the charity is for Donald Trump.

Let’s assume that is correct and that we should be outraged with Trump to the tune of $258 000.

Now the Clintons have made off like bandits from their foundation likely to the amount of hundreds of millions of dollars, possibly over a billion.

Your outrage, if proportional to the wrong, out to be a hundred to a thousand times greater with the Clintons compared to Trump. And yet, you only seem to be able to muster affection for the Clintons. This indicates that your wonderment about Trump is somewhat contrived and not really about the moral principle in question – that of honesty or misuse of a nonprofit foundation.

The Clintons have not “made off like bandits from their foundation.” In fact, they don’t even receive a salary. Why just make up wild allegations like this?
