FRAUD: Half of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s ‘Charitable Giving’ Was Donated to Their OWN Clinton Foundation!

Bill and Hillary have released some of their financial records this week and apparently half of what they list as “charitable” giving was donated by the Clintons to their own so-called charity, the Clinton Foundation! Is it REALLY charity if you are donating to your own pas through company that you use to enrich yourself?

Regardless, it seems that this is the case. Half of the Clinton’s so-called charity went to themselves[1].

Half of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s charitable giving last year went to the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, according to a review of the latest financial disclosures from their private foundation.

The Clintons earned more than $28 million in 2014 and claimed around $3 million in income as charitable tax deductions, according to tax returns released by Hillary Clinton’s campaign last Friday. The campaign emphasized Clinton’s charitable giving in a press statement, saying that it “represented 10.8 percent” of her income in 2014. But roughly half of that money—$1.8 million—appears to have been channeled to the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

According to the tax returns, the Clintons gave $3 million in 2014 to the Clinton Family Foundation, a small private foundation that the family uses as a pass-through to other charities. Records show the CFF disbursed $3.7 million in 2014, including $1.8 million to the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

That contribution was the family’s largest by a significant margin that year. They made numerous smaller donations to other groups, including the University of Arkansas, the American Ireland Fund, and the American Friends of the Peres Center.

Come on. Is it really charity if you are giving it to yourself?
