(s)Elections See other (s)Elections Articles Title: The Clinton Foundation shrivels So all of a sudden, the Clinton Foundation's not drawing the revenue it used to draw. And the difference is staggering. How the Ozymandias has fallen. According to Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton: When one of the most recognizable nonprofits in the world loses 75% of its contributions over a four-year period, there are typically investigatory reports written into what has gone wrong. That isn’t the case with the Clinton Foundation. The Foundation received $62.9 million in 2016 but only $16.3 million in 2020, and very few people seem to have notice. That is because most Beltway insiders know the Clinton Foundation’s primary purpose: to serve as a platform for Hillary Clinton’s political operation while lining the Clintons’ pockets by trading influence for money. That is why donations spiked when Hillary was secretary of state and most of the world thought she was destined to become president — and why they cratered after she lost. Smashing and Grabbing Blue America into Ruin Which pretty well leaves the purpose of the operation butt-naked. It's always been a political influence-pedding operation. as Fitton notes. donations spiked when Hillary Clinton was riding high on the hog as President Obama's secretary of state. After she left office and lost the 2016 presidency to Donald J. Trump, she got "defunded," big. Trump cost the harridan a lot of baksheesh she had been counting on. Issues & Insights has an excellent chart here demonstrating the trajectory along with a good editorial to go with it. The Foundation, laughably enough, attributed the drop-off in donations to the pandemic. Fitton shot that down with this: This argument doesn’t explain the tens of millions the Foundation lost between 2016 and 2019 and ignores that charitable giving was up by 5.1% in America last year. Axios actually seemed to buy into the baloney in its original report, rather than roll around on the floor laughing as consumate Washington insiders would do. Their report was here.

According to Axios: Some large donors of prior years continued giving in 2020, including the government of Norway; the Walton family, founders of Walmart; and longtime Clinton supporters Haim and Cheryl Saban, according to disclosures on the foundation's website. One wonders what they were buying, given that Hillary Clinton seems to have lost influence in the Democrat party. Maybe they needed the tax break? On the other hand, with such donations coming in, albeit on a much lower level -- maybe she hasn't. I dug around to get a more complete list, but did not see anything on the link that Axios posted, it may be that I need to click more links but I think I got them all. I did find this one which is pretty interesting -- a list of all the big-dollar speeches the Clintons -- Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea -- gave on behalf of the Foundation, along with the dollar-amount range they got from these money-for-nothing speeches. Bill's speeches are marked with a hashtag, Hillary's are marked with a plus, and Chelsea's are marked with a caret. It's a doozy. Huge cash for speeches is a well-known vehicle for disguised bribery, which among the Clinton set seems to be still going on. Here's a screen grab from just a segment of that list, and not the biggest in dollar terms: Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
