In a WSJ article it is reported that the Clintons have donated 15 million dollars to charity over the past 7 years.
According to financial information released by the Clintons, they have deducted 15 million dollars listed as charitable donations from the IRS.
The recipients of these deductions are as follows.
Clinton Global Initiative: $14,800,000.00
Other: $200,000.00
I didn't know you could make a donation to yourself.
Next year IRS I'm gonna make some huge deductions.

Pretty good for some folks leaving the White House broke.

If this female human is elected I will completely lose my faith in human beings. These people are evil users and nothing more. Absolutely no redeming qualities among the lot as far as I can discern.

Check out the page re: Clinton Global Initiative and read about how the money is used and for what it is used.
It ain't a rainy day account no matter whatchu think of the Clintons. It even appears to be doing some good.
Hill and Billary don't set or enforce 'the rulz.' And it appears to have pretty complete transparency. (Or about
as much transparency as you'll find these days.)
I'm way past ready to say: let's take a dagburn moratorium on bad mouthing the clintons and the bushes. It's
become tiresome.
And, when you get down to it, what bizness is this to any of us?

Less than 10% is used for charitable endeavors. Over 90% is spent supporting the Clinton lifestyle.

Further proof, as if we needed it, that these people are pond scum. Again I wonder why they have gotten away with their crooked endeavors this long.

Then of course there is the George W. Bush Foundation, the Laura Bush Foundation, the Jeb Bush Foundation, and the Barbara Bush Foundation. Did I miss anyone?

They don't need money, they have billions. The foundations buys them what money can't.

I didn't know you could make a donation to yourself. ( THE WAY THEY DID IT IS 10% LEGAL AND APPROVED BY THE IRS) sAD CASE OF STASHING FUNDS
Next year IRS I'm gonna make some huge deductions.
NOT REALLY, SEE ABOVE.
EVERY EX PRESIDENT HAS THEIR OWN FOUNDATION IN RECENT YEARS, THE CLINTONS FUNDING THEIR OWN TO SO MUCH JUST SETS THE AMOUNT A LOT HIGHER THAN MOST.

You'll have to be more specific. They already have money, power, prestige and connections. What do the foundations buy the Bushes?

Actually, I can. In fact, the expenditures of the Clinton Foundation prove it.

Power, prestige, connections etc. are what I was referring to.

W's foundation existed to build the presidential center. I don't think it exists any longer. Barbara's foundation is in the business of literacy and shows its financials right on the website. I didn't check any others.

When I see the love our wounded warriors have for GWB, I don't need to see the financials. I KNOW what he does. I've always loved Barbara Bush. She is upfront about her financials for her literacy foundation. I don't question Laura's devotion. She's a lady with class. Seeing father Bush shave his head because one of his secret service officer's son has cancer and has lost his hair, gives me a clue to his standards. I didn't agree with every decision either of the Bushes made BUT as to the morals and standards of these men, I have no doubt.

Absolutely! I completely agree.
