7 Things You Need To Know About The Clinton Foundation | Daily Wire

"2. For an organization that is supposedly a charity, the Clinton Foundation spent very little money on "direct aid." IRS documents showed that the Foundation raised over $500 million from 2009-2012, and yet the Clinton Foundation only spent $75 million on "programmatic grants.""

Charity watchdog: Clinton Foundation a ‘slush fund’ | New York Post

"The Clinton family’s mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9 million on direct aid.

The group spent the bulk of its windfall on administration, travel, and salaries and bonuses, with the fattest payouts going to family friends."


[...]
The above is just crap. The Clinton foundation spent most of the donations on operational activities of the charitable programs they were running. Yes, they didn't tend to give it to other charities that were proving direct aid; again they did it themselves.

Most of the money was not spent on "administration, travel, and salaries and bonuse". Most of the money was spent on the charitable operational activities that the foundation was supporting.

140 is much bigger than nine.

Its a math thing.

I believe the figure you are looking for is 88. As in 88% of the donations the Clinton Foundation received were spent on the programs the Clinton Foundation was running. The Clinton Foundation was not a pass through organization like many other foundations it actually ran charitable operations. The 9 million is the amount it donated to other organizations. Most of the rest was used to fund its operational charities.

There are always rumors that she's done all this terrible stuff but there's never any actual proof. Just conspiracy nuts making YouTube videos (or writing books) full of innuendo.
Yes meanwhile, Trump has actually proven himself to be a horrible person by the things that have actually come out of his mouth.

People forget that this is how politics are. There will be dozens of articles slamming one of the candidates but until you actually see or hear them doing/saying something, you have nothing so how do you know it's not the opponent/opponent's team writing these articles or paying people to?
Just look at political ads on TV and you will see what I mean about lies.

Even though I try too, in fact I'm doing so in this very post, you can say that until you're blue in the face and you won't be able to convince people of that. They will excuse whatever he's said as he's just being honest.

Yes. When he gave information to someone who wasn't given that level of security clearance, he compromised national security, and he did so deliberately.

Hillary didn't give information to anyone who wasn't qualified to receive that information.

I would only vote for hillary clinton if she is for law enforcement and for closing borders.
Years ago the Democrats have screwed up the prison system. Before i left for department of corrections they put this program together called The Healing Environment. They put all inmates in one building that are close to going home and they are allowed to get away with alot of crap. Even the toughest officers retired early due to the stress.

2nd people believe there is gun control. You go places where they banned guns your freaking idiot if you think your safe. You think criminals with guns gonna walk into a building knowing people who are armed.
I use to deal with inmates. Just because someone doesn't pass a background check doesn't mean they can't get a gun.

Watch 7:20 and I quote. This is email exchanges from Wikileak:

"none of my friends circle can understand how it was viewed as ok/secure/appropriate to use a private server for secure documents AND why further Hillary took it upon herself to review them and delete documents without providing anyone outside her circle a chance to weigh in. It smacks of acting above the law and smacks of the type of thing I've either gotten discovery sanctions for, fired people for, etc."

Not sure how much intent and truth do we need.
