Let's take a look at the Clinton Canadian Charity

This is how it worked:

The Clinton Foundation created a separate charity in Canada. Over a thousand wealthy foreign leaders and governments contributed many millions to this Canadian charity. Then the Canadian charity bundled the donations and donated it all in one lump to the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton Foundation and the Canadian charity claim that Canadian law prohibits them from disclosing the identity of the individual donors. The Clinton Foundation spends about 10 percent of this massive bundle of money for humanitarian projects. The rest is a massive slush fund used for travel, paying people off, and so on. All tax free, remember. All with no audit trail. The Clinton Foundation fails to report this slush money on its tax filings, claiming clerical error.

Is this charity simply a money laundering operation? A pay for play profit center for the Clintons?


More information here about donors and their nefarious connections and interests:

this Canadian arm is simply one facet of the mess.

I thought the Bushes were corrupt, but this seems to be even more blatant and pervasive.

If so, it's worse than I thought/feared.
Only 10 percent goes to worthy causes...un-blanking-believable.

Old news but keeps getting buried or pooh-poohed as RW propaganda. Maybe it is, but little inconvenient facts keep popping up their nasty heads - because you can bet your life that there are rooms full of Republicans tackling this every day. Forewarned is forearmed.
