Clinton Foundation to lay off dozens...


Posted: Sep 23, 2016

dozens of employees as it winds down most operations, according to a report by Politico, citing “two former Clinton Foundation officials who remain in communication with staff.” The layoffs come after media investigations, led by Breitbart editor Peter Schweizer, whose 2015 book Clinton Cash alleged a pay-to-play pattern in which the Clintons courted donations from foreigners and businesses with matters pending before the State Department. The Clintons say they are closing down much of the foundation’s work, and severing many — though not all — personal ties to the organization, in anticipation of Hillary Clinton’s victory in the November election. Critics have suggested that the Clinton Foundation could create new conflicts of interest for a Clinton administration, an argument that the Clintons have grudgingly accepted — though without explaining why the same arguments would not have applied to her term as Secretary of State. However, some of the cuts to the Clinton Foundation are apparently independent of the November election, and simply the result of the broader scandal surrounding the so-called “charity.” Critics accuse the Clinton Foundation of being a tool for the self-enrichment of the Clinton family. Documents filed in 2015 suggest the foundation spent less than 6 percent of its budget on charitable grants in 2014, and “spent far more on overhead expenses like travel ($7.9 million),” the Federalist reports. Politico notes that some friends of the foundation are upset with the way the Clintons are handling the spinoffs and layoffs: Some foundation allies grumbled that the announcement … was handled in an insensitive manner, according to the former officials. Others predicted that retaining some staff to work with deep-pocketed government, corporate and nonprofit donors on existing programs would only feed criticism about … preferential treatment from Hillary Clinton’s State Department. ;

Probably to rehire H1Bs. The palms have already been - greased and the money laundered.

You see, the Clinton Foundation does not act like a subcontractor but actually performs its own projects. It does not pay thousands of others people's money to buy self-portraits to hang in their personal golf resorts. Unfortunately it probably will be necessary for the Clinton's to cut their ties to the foundation they started to do good work because deplorables such as Trump have tarnished all charitable foundations.

Clinton Foundation spent 12 percent of its revenue on travel and conferences and 20 percent of its revenue on salaries. That’s true. But the Form 990 specifically breaks out those travel, conference and salary expenses that are used for “program service expenses” versus those that are used for management or fundraising purposes.

For example, nearly 77 percent of the $8.4 million spent on travel in 2013 went toward program services; 3.4 percent went to “management and general expenses”; and about 20 percent went to fundraising.

Clinton Development Initiative staff in Africa train rural farmers and help them get access to seeds, equipment and markets for their crops.

Clinton Climate Initiative staff help governments in Africa and the Caribbean region with reforestation efforts, and in island nations to help develop renewable energy projects.

Staff at the Clinton Health Access Initiative, an independent, affiliated entity, work in dozens of nations to lower the cost of HIV/AIDS medicine, scale up pediatric AIDS treatment and promote treatment of diarrhea through life-saving Zinc/ORS treatment.

Clinton Health Matters staff work with local governments and businesses in the United States to develop wellness and physical activity plans.

Live by the snark, die by the snark. You see, the Clintoon - Foundation is actually a money laundering

scheme and is pay for play. She thinks she is going to win and the favors have been bought.
Clinton Foundation - Oh, me!
[ In Reply To ..]
Would you like to list specifically who bought which favors? I think it's much more likely that powerful people who have known and/or respected the Clintons for a very long time are the people who visited her at the State Department only as friends or people like Elie Wiesel, who have international concerns (I can't even conceive what kind of favor Mr. Wiesel could buy even if he wanted to - he was an honorable Nobel prize winner and certainly no influence peddler). Would you have turned down a meeting if you were Secretary of State? And have you ever had meeting in which you put in a plug for something you hoped to get? And did you always automatically get it no matter what you offered in return?

I also think that the people who made big donations to the Clinton Foundation did so because the respect the Foundation and the work it does and because Bill Clinton is uniquely adept at bringing people together over big important ideas and persuading them to participate.

So when you made the accusation you did, you have blatantly disregarded all the good work the Clinton Foundation does.

I'm also curious - are you under the impression that nobody besides Ms Clinton ever has visitors that arrive to pitch a favorite program or project or legislation? It happens every minute of every day in any office in Washington. If everybody approached - even by big donors - did everything asked of them, they would be tied in knots because of the conflicting requests. I think we have to trust those lobbied to make the best decision possible and make them pay big time if they do it for PROVED reasons of influence peddling. The best decision by default will surely benefit somebody who was lobbying for it, but hopefully that will be irrelevant.

Fact checker - Oh, me!
