14. The Saudi princes donate to everyone.

And they do it particularly to get into everyones good graces. It is what it is.

But regardless the Clinton's have been the cleanest big money politicians ever, for the simple fact that they have been under microscopic scrutiny going all the way back to Whitewater. They've realsed all their tax returns, and their charities have released full transparency reports going back more than a decade. The fact that they are so open is how we know about Saudi's donating and stuff like that.

Should the foundation reject donations from certain individuals or countries? Sure. But what's the point. The money goes to help people.

Me.

is that 80% of the money accumulated is actually given out and only 20% is used for administrative costs. That's where a lot of non-profits get scammy, because their administrative costs come in very high and the lesser % is what is given out.

33. The Clintons have the Clinton Family Foundation for personal charitable giving.

The three of them are the only donors - and they donate 10% of their personal incomes to that foundation, and then decide where they will donate it.

That is how they manage their personal charitable giving.

"For two famous political animals and policy wonks, the Clintons have directed a startling number of gifts to arts and culture. The Clintons have funded places like the School of American Ballet, New York Public Radio, Shakespeare Theatre Company, Arkansas Repertory Theatre, and the Africa Center (formerly the Museum for African Art). Much of this giving takes place in either New York City or Arkansas. "

for over 35 years now, ever since she was First Lady of Arkansas.

She's not very charismatic. She doesn't have the natural, ingrained seduction of her husband. But if you actually read her campaign website, it was a BRILLIANT exposition of All-American values.

My grandfather retired as a truck driver. With 3 homes.

Tell me, and be truthful: do you honestly expect to own even one home in your lifetime?

And that, in a nutshell, is what's wrong with America today.

They say Hillary committed treason by selling 30% of our uranium to the Russians in the Uranium One deal in exchange for millions of dollars to the Clinton charity.

The truth is fake news to them.
