Clinton\u2019s State Department.<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think the Clinton Foundation is going to survive until the end of the week,\u201d said Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, which released the emails that were produced by the State Department at the direction of a federal judge after JW had to file a federal petition compelling the State Department to fulfill its request for emails to and from Huma Abedin, a long-time aide and confidante of the Democratic nominee for president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou really think that, Tom? You really think they can be shamed in any way, shape or form?\u201d asked <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/HowieCarrShow\" target=\"_blank\">Carr<\/a>, who had just finished telling Fitton that the <a href=\"http:\/\/hosted.ap.org\/dynamic\/stories\/U\/US_CAMPAIGN_2016_CLINTON_FOUNDATION?SITE=AP\" target=\"_blank\">Associated Press<\/a>\u00a0had discovered that out of 154 non-governmental people Clinton met with as America\u2019s top diplomat, 85 were donors to the Clinton Foundation or another Clinton-affiliated organization with combined contributions exceeding $156 million. Of the 85, more than 40 gave at least $100,000 and another 20 gave $1 million.<\/p>\n<p>Fitton said he was stunned by the response when it was revealed in the latest batch of emails that there was an attempt to get a meeting with the secretary for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2016\/08\/22\/new-emails-show-top-clinton-aide-huma-abedin-setting-up-meetings-with-major-foundation-donors\/\">a Nigerian-Lebanese billionaire<\/a> through the Clinton Foundation, rather than official State Department channels.\u00a0\u201cThey said: \u2018Well, we weren\u2019t elected.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fitton said the shuttering of operations has already begun.<\/p>\n<p>The Clinton Foundation no longer accepts contributions from foreigners and corporations and they have cancelled the annual<a href=\"http:\/\/www.clintonfoundation.org\/clinton-global-initiative\/\" target=\"_blank\">Clinton Global Initiative<\/a>, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they are going to get pressure\u2013and they are\u2013from the left and the right\u2013to shut the foundation down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign contributions make up 40 percent of the foundation\u2019s revenue and once they stop taking in new money the foundation is done, he said.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the segment, <a href=\"http:\/\/howiestore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Carr<\/a> asked Fitton what was coming next from Judicial Watch.<\/p>\n<p>Fitton said there were 200 more Abedin emails coming from the State Department from the same request that produced the 725 pages of emails released Monday.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/08\/23\/tom-fitton-on-howie-carr-show-clinton-foundation-will-shut-down-by-end-of-week\/\">http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/08\/23\/tom-fitton-on-howie-carr-show-clinton-foundation-will-shut-down-by-end-of-week\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by NEIL W.
