    Default Clintons Could Owe Taxes on Hundreds of Millions of Dollars

    Two financial investigators say they have submitted thousands of documents to the IRS that they believe show the Clinton Foundation, founded by Bill and Hillary Clinton, potentially evaded paying taxes on millions if not billions of dollars, a House subcommittee on government operations heard Dec. 13.

    Grover Cleveland will get audited before the Clintons do.

    The Clinton Foundation has been evaluated many times and books were opened. It is a legitimate charity and the Clintons do not work for it or get salaries from it. It is not like Trumps phony charity.,

    The whistleblowers also mentioned pay-to-play, Clinton using the foundation as his piggy bank, and the foundation acting as an agent of foreign governments. It's no wonder the media is not talking about it; they all endorsed her for president.

    If you're concerned about the misuse of funds by a phony charitable foundation, you're looking in the wrong direction. Look to the Trump Foundation. Unlike the Clinton Foundation, it was run as a slush fund for the Trump family. Trump Foundation funds were illegally used to pay off investigators, and otherwise to benefit Donald Trump personally. Unlike the Clinton Foundation, the Trump Foundation was run by the immediate family and wasn't audited. It was a shadowy organization where the movement of money was kept secret from anyone other than Trump Organization insiders and immediate Trump family members.

    The Clinton Foundation, by comparison, was entirely above-board. The Clinton family functioned mostly just as fund-raisers for the charity, with the majority of the Board made up by people who are independent from the Clintons, and all the day-to-day management being done by people independent from the Clintons (top lawyers, doctors, business execs, and people from the world of nonprofits). If there was any wrongdoing, the Republicans dreams of roping in the Clintons will be frustrated, because the Clintons simply weren't in charge of such decisions.

    According to the whistleblowers, all of that is untrue. They say Bill Clinton used the foundation as his piggy bank, and the foundation was run as a private enterprise with the sole purpose of enriching its principles, the Clinton family.

    Did you read the story? Calling them "whistleblowers" is a stretch. In fact, the link never even uses the term. Instead, it refers to the two as "private investigators." Basically, it sounds like someone wanted to find dirt on the Clinton Foundation and brought in a pair of hired guns to go over the foundation's papers to see if they could make any kind of claim against the charity. As they were paid to do, the pair then put together the best case they could -- in this case, a claim that the Clinton Foundation operated outside the bounds of its IRS approval.

    They said nothing about Clinton using the foundation as his piggy bank, as you dishonestly claimed. If anything, it's the opposite. According to the P.I.s, the Clintons were actually approved to accept funds for Clinton's presidential library, but their supposed misdeed was being in talks about health programs that weren't part of the library's mission.

    This smear campaign is actually really slipshod work. For example, they say ".... about 60 percent of the foundation’s income was spent on things like salaries, travel, and grants." Obviously, that tosses together overhead and charitable giving (grants), without telling us how much is for each. Then one of the PI's says he personally feels like a "good charity" would only spend about 15 percent on such things. What the basis of that feeling is, is never explained.


    the foundation was run as a private enterprise
    Where did you see anything about the foundation being run as a "private enterprise"?

    with the sole purpose of enriching its principles, the Clinton family.
    Where did you see anything supporting that claim?

    Be specific, please.

    No, I'm speaking about their actual testimony, not some article. You should probably give it a listen before pretending you know anything about it.

    Actually you could just answer her questions:

    If you have a link to the testimony, feel free to provide it, and then back up your assertions with specifics.
