Trump foundation no donor list, no financials, no Tax returns, no transparency. Case closed. What is he hiding

When Trump and the GOP raised this conspiracy pay for play with the Clinton foundation, with lies and unfounded accusation. I decided to look at Trump, Clinton, and Bush family foundation.

Now just so you understand Non Profit Foundations are not required by law to reveal there donors, and can keep there financials secret. Clinton choose to be transparent where Trump and Bush family choose not to. Can you understand why because now Clinton has to shut down there foundation because of unfounded accusation made by the right wing extremist and conspiracy theorist then paint Clinton as Pay for play. But it's okay for Trump or Bush.

The Clinton's released there Financials, a complete donor list, and tax returns, they released over 3000 pages of donors. Thru there financials and there tax returns they prove the Clinton's never received a pay check from the foundations. But Trump continues with his lies.

The Bush family like Trump will not expose there donor list and remains highly classified by the Bush family. But the Bush foundation has approximately $47 million in assets and was set up in 1991. No financials, no donor list, and no way to varify if donors received pay to play.

But the Clinton foundation has released all financials, donor list, payroll receipts, it shows where all funds were spent, there has been no evidence per the state department investigation of pay per play. No evidence of any Clinton on the payroll, her tax returns show there earnings from speaking tours and investments. All transparent all available for Breithbart and right wing hack sites to create conspiracy theories.

I am not attacking the Bush foundation it is very clear what these foundations do to help people. But the Clinton foundation has been held to a different standard. I certainly don't blame the Clinton's operating in secrecy just look at the BS on Bengahzi( Bush Embassy bombings ignored) Clinton emails ( Bush email scandal ignored) Clinton foundation (Bush and Trump foundation Taxes , financials and donor list ignored)

Every time the Clinton's release documents that they are not required to release the swamp people create another fabricated conspiracy but the swamp people could care less if it is factual.

Bush foundation was pocketing ten's of millions of dollars a year while Bush 43 was president. Anyone who wanted to gain favor with the Bush clan could have anonymously donated unlimited amounts of cash. But not a peep from the right wing swamp people. Clinton's held to a different standard.

Now we have to listen to this BS on Clinton's health thanks to another Fox News conspiracy.

The left wing exposes facts about campaign manager Paul Manafort receiving $12 million from Russia, also working for the Russian operative running the Ukraine, all ignored by the right wing swamp people. Then Trump fires Manafort and hires Stephen Bannon of Breithbarth who is the master of conspiracy theories also catering to all the right wing swamp people such as the White supremacy groups, trying to create nationalism, getting involved with the Aryan guard, Aryan Nation. Can you just imagine if Clinton ever hired these people. OMG the world would be coming to an end

So please understand I am only trying to point out the secrecy of the Clinton families because they are held to a different standard than any politician in the history of this country.

( SO PLEASE MR TRUMP RELEASE YOUR TAX RETURNS SO THIS COUNTRY CAN DISECT IT THEY WAY YOU HAVE WITH HILLARY CLINTONS. Your a lying piece of garbage that has woken up the swamp people that have been in hiding every since the civil rights bills of the 1960's but now there out in the main stream and living off conspiracy theories that all Mexicans, Muslims and blacks are coming for you and your jobs and Clinton is coming for your guns. Go back to the swamp and kill each other and let the real Republican Party begin to mend the damage you hate filled racist have done to the GOP stop blaming the left for all your failed policies. What a disgrace

You must go ' cluck cluck'!

In 2015, political consultant Peter Schweizer published ‘Clinton Cash’, a book investigating foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation after 2000.

Schweizer joined Martha MacCallum on America’s Newsroom on Friday to discuss recent revelations in a report linking Clinton Foundation donations to political favors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, as well as the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server.

MacCallum asked Schweizer about how the two investigations developed over the past number of months.

“We’ve gone from ‘I used a Blackberry because it was more convenient for me’ to ‘I used BleachBit to scour the server to get rid of the emails’—that’s a pretty long distance to travel,” MacCallum remarked.

“The whole controversy and scandal over the emails and the Clinton Foundation are joined at the hip,” Schweizer responded.

“The reason they set up the private server is, when you engage in pay-to-play on a global scale, you need a means of communication. You can’t do that on the official government network because it could be detected,” he said.

This case “cries out for an independent prosecutor,” Schweizer said.

“Very, very clearly, if you are a foreign oligarch who gave money to Clinton Foundation, the way to get access …was to email the Clinton Foundation and have THEM contact State Department,” he explained.

“The intentionality is there.”

You do realize that posting this information to nest (alias car crash) is a complete waste of time. Everything negative about Clinton never happened. I appreciate the info.

bmac32 Loc: West Florida

When I see someone try and defend Clinton I feel it should be pointed out.

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

Only if you care about your country. Which you do.

I am not saying there is no truth to what you posted. Yet I can dispute with facts from a state department investigation that shows most of your post is just not true. But you missed the point I was getting at with my topic.

Clinton released all financials, donor list, tax returns, emails but Trump or Bush refuse to release anything. She did not have to release anything but she did so there is transparency by the Clintons. Trump released nothing he won't tell us what his tax rates are. The Bush have always refused to release anything.
Clinton just opened conspiracy theories just for being Transperant if she had anything to hide do you think she would release all her stuff if she had something to hide. But Bush got a pass on his email scandal. Trump and Bush family refuse to release anything what are they hiding.
There is no evidence per the state department investigation what was said on CNN.
The email conspiracy theory in your post is flat out BS and no evidence such as that has ever been proven just theories that's all these people are dealing with.
So why is there a double standard on the right Clinton releases everything but Bush and Trump get a pass tell me why you think that way.

bmac32 Loc: West Florida

And of course whatever she comes out with you believe? Can't miss a point when there is none. I see Bush refused and you bring that up with saying she didn't have to, so does that mean Bush had too? More double standard? Big step from a Blackberry to BleachBit to scour the server to get rid of the emails, mighty big step. Did you ever think just for one moment she planned this crap from day one, just in case she got caught?

Well turd head if bush foundation has been existence for many years and collects tens of millions of dollars annually how come their net worth is only fourty some million. Trump does not have to release his taxes. If you are so worried about being in the dark get Obama to unseal his freaking records. Now the swamp people are coming for you moron. They hate whiners.

kenjay Loc: Arkansas

I did that private server was put in to thwart any freedom of information request. The Clinton pig is not very bright but she is very cunning.

bmac32 Loc: West Florida

Am sick of this side has to and the other can do whatever. As far as I know there is NO law that says they have to release anything. If one side choose to that doesn't mean the other has too. Something Obama talked about but sealed most of his records. I don't care what anyone else makes, that is between that person and the tax man.

Access to what? Pay to play in what game or initiative? When did it become illegal for a foreign entity to donate to a charitable organization? Quit spewing bull shit about something that you obviously know little about.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Ohhhhhhhhuhhhhhhhh paleasssseeeeee..

Truly damn pathetic!!!

Do you honestly believe anyone in here believes your twist of such??

Clinton Racketeering Foundation is the largest scam going!!
The sell out is a fraud... Disclosed her donors, yeaaaaaa right..This is more dazzle them with BS while she clearly gave favoritism to her Multi~million dollar Middle East backers..

Your one sided BS criticism is a joke!!!

Government employees on the clock work for the government not any charitable organization. Any work with that charitable organization should not to at the state department.

While Clinton was SOS, she was not in any way associated with the day to day workings of the Clinton Foundation, so your opinion that she was doing Clinton Foundation work while she was in that position is nothing but goober talk and goober logic. Why would she risk tainting the reputation of a successful charity by using her SOS position to raise money? Only Republicans do such dastardly deeds, such as Cheney and the Haliburton carfuggle. You did not answer one question I asked which tells me that you have no answers. Get back to me when you can answer what I asked.

Goober talk and goober logic, like you right now. Meaningless bs from the left, my girl can do no wrong. Risk tainting the reputation of a what

In 2013, The Clinton Foundation Only Spent 10 Percent Of Its Budget On Charitable Grants
Hillary Clinton's non-profit spent more on office supplies and rent than it did on charitable grants
April27, 2015 By Sean Davis

After a week of being attacked for shady bookkeeping and questionable expenditures, the Clinton Foundation is fighting back. In a tweet posted last week, the Clinton Foundation claimed that 88 percent of its expenditures went “directly to [the foundation’s] life-changing work.”

There’s only one problem: that claim is demonstrably false. And it is false not according to some partisan spin on the numbers, but because the organization’s own tax filings contradict the claim.

Clinton Foundation 2013 Breakdown

In order for the 88 percent claim to be even remotely close to the truth, the words “directly” and “life-changing” have to mean something other than “directly” and “life-changing.” For example, the Clinton Foundation spent nearly $8.5 million–10 percent of all 2013 expenditures–on travel. Do plane tickets and hotel accommodations directly change lives? Nearly $4.8 million–5.6 percent of all expenditures–was spent on office supplies. Are ink cartridges and staplers “life-changing” commodities?

Those two categories alone comprise over 15 percent of all Clinton Foundation expenses in 2013, and we haven’t even examined other spending categories like employee fringe benefits ($3.7 million), IT costs ($2.1 million), rent ($4 million) or conferences and conventions ($9.2 million). Yet, the tax-exempt organization claimed in its tweet that no more than 12 percent of its expenditures went to these overhead expenses.

How can both claims be true? Easy: they’re not. The claim from the Clinton Foundation that 88 percent of all expenditures go directly to life-changing work is demonstrably false. Office chairs do not directly save lives. The internet connection for the group’s headquarters does not directly change lives.

Clinton Foundation Overhead 2013 990

But what if those employees and those IT costs and those travel expenses indirectly save lives, you might ask. Sure, it’s overhead, but what if it’s overhead in the service of a larger mission? Fair question. Even using the broadest definition of “program expenses” possible, however, the 88 percent claim is still false. How do we know? Because the IRS 990 forms submitted by the Clinton Foundation include a specific and detailed accounting of these programmatic expenses. And even using extremely broad definitions–definitions that allow office supply, rent, travel, and IT costs to be counted as programmatic costs–the Clinton Foundation fails its own test.

According to 2013 tax forms filed by the Clinton Foundation, a mere 80 percent of the organization’s expenditures were characterized as functional programmatic expenses. That’s a far cry from the 88 percent claimed by the organization just last week.

Clinton Foundation Programmatic Breakdown 2013

If you take a narrower, and more realistic, view of the tax-exempt group’s expenditures by excluding obvious overhead expenses and focusing on direct grants to charities and governments, the numbers look much worse. In 2013, for example, only 10 percent of the Clinton Foundation’s expenditures were for direct charitable grants. The amount it spent on charitable grants–$8.8 million–was dwarfed by the $17.2 million it cumulatively spent on travel, rent, and office supplies. Between 2011 and 2013, the organization spent only 9.9 percent of the $252 million it collected on direct charitable grants.

While some may claim that the Clinton Foundation does its charity by itself, rather than outsourcing to other organizations in the form of grants, there appears to be little evidence of that activity in 2013. In 2008, for example, the Clinton Foundation spent nearly $100 million purchasing and distributing medicine and working with its care partners. In 2009, the organization spent $126 million on pharmaceutical and care partner expenses. By 2011, those activities were virtually non-existent. The group spent nothing on pharmaceutical expenses and only $1.2 million on care partner expenses. In 2012 and 2013, the Clinton Foundation spent $0. In just a few short years, the Clinton’s primary philanthropic project transitioned from a massive player in global pharmaceutical distribution to a bloated travel agency and conference organizing business that just happened to be tax-exempt.

The Clinton Foundation announced last week that it would be refiling its tax returns for the last five years because it had improperly failed to disclose millions of dollars in donations from foreign sources while Hillary Clinton was serving as Secretary of State.
