The Clinton Fog Machine


The nonprofit Clinton Foundation has set new records for charitable sleaziness and contributor opaqueness. Even that Pravda spin-off, the Boston Globe, cannot help but point out some of the miasma arising from this Clinton political swamp ... see: Boston Globe Article. Here are two key quotes from this article:
While Hillary Rodham Clinton was secretary of state, foreign donations sharply accelerated to this arm of her husband's charitable works, enabling its operations to grow by 75 percent from 2010 to 2013, according to tax forms reviewed by the Globe. Government grants, nearly all from foreign countries doubled to $55,9 million in 2013 from $26.7 million in 2010, according to the records.
and:
Yet, a lack of promised transparency at Clinton’s health charity generated a recent round of negative  news. The Clinton Health Access Initiative failed to disclose its donors from 2010 to 2013, violating an agreement Hillary Clinton forged with President Obama as a condition of becoming secretary of state, an omission first reported by Reuters. The foundation on Feb. 6 released an incomplete list of contributors that provides general ranges of support, but lacks specific dates and doesn’t reveal the identities of individuals who collectively contributed less than $1 million.
Of course the numbers from 2014 and 2015 are still being obscured by the Clinton fog machine. Does this not all reek of the "Clinton way?" Reading between the lines of this article also tells me that this organization is instrumental in keeping the Clinton posse well compensated and ready to do battle in Hillary's campaign for president. Oh yes, and they do have many meetings around the world discussing health-care issues ... one can host a whole bunch of discussions for $56 million a year in just government donations.

But who can really keep track of money and people sloshing back and forth between these two organizations? Certainly not the Obama administration's IRS nor the Unite States' voters ...
