That\u2019s OK, people say, it\u2019s a charity. They might be right on paper, but make no mistake \u2013 the main beneficiaries of the Clinton Foundation are the Clintons.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What percentage of Clinton Foundation money goes to real and actual charities? If you define \u201cactual charities not controlled by the Clintons\u201d as \u201cprogrammatic grants,\u201d then it appears <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quora.com\/What-percentage-of-Clinton-Foundation-money-goes-to-real-and-actual-charities-that-are-not-controlled-by-the-Clintons\">the number is 15%<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Clinton Foundation argues the figure is much higher. They claim they hire their own staff to carry out humanitarian work, thus money that appears to be staying in the Foundation is actually being spent on charitable acts.<\/p>\n<p>This unusual approach to charity has flummoxed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charitynavigator.org\/\">Charity Navigator<\/a>, one of the leading independent organizations that track charities. Charity Navigator has stopped giving the Clinton Foundation a charity ranking at all.<\/p>\n<p><b>Where does the money go?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>What are these in-house, expensive charities that suck up all this cash? The Federalist <a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2015\/04\/29\/punditfact-a-case-study-in-fact-free-hackery\/\">reported <\/a>that \u201c<i>the two single largest \u2018charitable\u2019 initiatives of the Clinton Foundation \u2014 <b>by its own admission<\/b> \u2014 are the Clinton Presidential Library, which exists solely to put a positive spin on the 42nd president\u2019s term in office, and the Clinton Global Initiative, which the New York Times characterized as a \u2018glitzy annual gathering of chief executives, heads of state, and celebrities.&#8217;\u201d\u00a0<\/i>If hanging out with celebrities and networking at glitzy dinners counts as charity, then it\u2019s time to grant the Kardashian sisters tax-exempt status.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unprosecuted charity fraud\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Charles Ortel, the investigator who uncovered the financial discrepancies at General Motors before its stock crashed, says the Clinton Foundation is \u201c<i>the largest unprosecuted charity fraud ever<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation \u201c<i>isn\u2019t organized lawfully and isn\u2019t operating lawfully.

Very little of it ever got to the poor, noted Haitian journalist Dady Chery. She called Clinton disaster fund-raising \u201cpredatory humanitarianism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>The business model of the Clintons is to stand between misery and the donor community and allow billions of dollars to get diverted<\/i>,\u201d Mr. Ortel said.<\/p>\n<p>More than half the people outside government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave to the Clinton Foundation, the Associated Press reported Aug. 23. At least 85 of 154 from private interests donated as much as $156 million to the foundation, AP said.<\/p>\n<p>Some large donors are foreigners with shadowy pasts, such as Lebanese businessman Gilbert Chagoury, who was denied entry to the U.S. last year because of suspicion of links to terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Sixteen foreign governments donated up to $170 million after their representatives had meetings with Secretary Clinton, the AP reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Why did the Saudi regime and other Gulf tyrannies donate millions to the Clinton Foundation?<\/i>\u201d wondered left-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton-controlled group events are \u201c<i>all about buying access,<\/i>\u201d Adam Davidson, host of NPR\u2019s \u201cPlanet Money\u201d show said.<\/p>\n<p>Journalists expressed alarm about Donald Trump\u2019s bromance with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and the megabucks his former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was paid to promote Mr. Putin\u2019s stooge in Ukraine. They\u2019ve given less attention to Team Clinton\u2019s ties to the Kremlin.
