96 Percent of Clintons’ Charity Donations Went to Foundation

Hillary and Bill Clinton funneled 96 percent of their charitable donations to their own family foundation, according to the Democratic nominee’s 2015 tax returns.

Last year, $1 million of the total $1,042,000 that the Clintons deducted in charitable contributions went to the Clinton Family Foundation, the Daily Caller reportedFriday.

The tax return showed that the other $42,000 in contributions went to Desert Classic Charities, a nonprofit that organizes an annual charity golf tournament. The organization then in turn contributed $700,000 to the Clinton Foundation. A foundation adviser and longtime Bill Clinton assistant, Doug Band, was on the organization’s board of directors through 2014, according to IRS filings.

The Clintons earned in total more than $10.5 million in 2015, primarily from paid speeches. Less than 10 percent of their total income went to charity.

The Clintons are thieves!

When I think of the Clintons, I think of a bad smell, the odor of something animal rotting.

What do they have to say that would interest anyone paying anything? Heck, I hit the "mute" when either one of them come on the air.

Do any of you even know what the Clinton Foundation does? Do your homework.

837 I have a feeling the good works they do is incidental to the influence peddling and helping their good friends buy and sell uranium mines and the like.

The facts I have checked is the Foundation is a "Ponzi" scheme. If it is not a scam why is it that only 10% goes to "supposedly" the needy around the world. They can't prove where the money goes or what it is spent on which Puerto Rico is an example.
That means 90% goes back to the Clintons. They cannot prove where the 10% goes so it must go to their buddies through hidden accounts in these other places that supposedly receives money from the Foundation. Can anyone prove any different?
