Going to split hairs that it isn't EXACTLY 90%? Very little of the money they collect actually goes to charity, most of it goes to supporting the foundation and the Clintons.

The Clinton Foundation Only Spent 10 Percent On Charity In 2013

The Clintons declined to participate in the givewell review process - more of the Clintons transparency of course.

Actually it's only 6 % that went to Charitable Grants, that is a small part of their work. Read your own link, they pay the salaries of doctors, scientists and others, do you not consider that charity?

Do you consider it charity when you give a million dollars to charity so that you pay a million dollars less taxes?

90% strictly back to the Hillary/Bill? I think that'd be an overstatement. I do have to say that whether it's 90%,50% or whatever it's still wrong and a slap in the face to the people who wanted to help Haiti...
Well then just provide a credible source rather than speculating, they have filed their records.

First of all you don't get a dollar for dollar savings by donating to charity, secondly that discussion has nothing to do with the discussion. Paying salaries, transportation and housing for doctors and others is in fact charity.

I don't think people in Haiti would have a problem with Clinton paying out 10% to their charitable work if they actually did what they said they would do.

Never mind all the actual evidence, the Wikileaks page they put up says they're solid.

Most of the money that the foundation actually gives to charity goes to organizations in countries that have questionable values. Shortly before or after the Foundation gives the money Bill gets a speaking engagement for super big bucks. It's called legal money laundering. Very questionable and hard to prove anything is illegal. Still stinks to high heaven.
