The Clinton Foundation

Anyone who takes Clinton seriously as a candidate must wrestle with this information:

The Clinton Foundation stopped accepting donations from foreign governments while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state. As if the contribution before she became Secretary was reasonable. But the Wall Street Journal reported  in March 2015 that individual donors with direct ties to foreign governments had made millions in donations while Clinton was in office:

All told, more than a dozen foreign individuals and their foundations and companies were large donors to the Clinton Foundation in the years after Mrs. Clinton became secretary of state in 2009, collectively giving between $34 million and $68 million, foundation records show. Some donors also provided funding directly to charitable projects sponsored by the foundation, valued by the organization at $60 million.

 

But the sainted Foundation has an off-shore account as well, an account in Canada that can take money without reporting it and funnel that money to the mother ship Foundation.


In April 2015, the Washington Post and Reuters revealed that a Canadian charity affiliated with the Clinton Foundation had failed to reveal the identities of 1,100 donors:

The number of undisclosed contributors to the charity, the Canada-based Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, signals a larger zone of secrecy around foundation donors than was previously known.

Details of the organization’s fundraising were disclosed this week by a spokeswoman for the Canadian group’s founder, mining magnate Frank Giustra.

The Canadian group has received attention in recent days as a potential avenue for anonymous Clinton Foundation donations from foreign business executives, including some who had interests before the U.S. government while Hillary Rodham Clinton was secretary of state.
