Why do we hear so much criticism of the Clinton Found that has done so much good around the world, AIDS, climate change, global health?. The Gates Foundation contributes to it. Foreign countries contribute to it.
The Trump Foundation is more of a slush fund for the maggot. Sure they have contributed small amount to vets,
sick children, but very little. I'm sure it's the same as dim don having to be shamed into turning over the money he collected for vets to them.

(12 posts)There is a negative machine that looks for every little thing that can shed doubt about Hillary's record. Some even fabricated but made so obscure and often that you have to dig to find the truth.
Take the accusation that the Clinton foundation was laundering money allegedly made by a media "giant" called Charles Krauthammer. The real fact was that the actual statement was unsubstantiated by a blogger post who called himself by that name. People ate it up. http://www.snopes.com/krauthammer-clinton-foundation-laundering/
On transparency... I tend to trust NPR a little more:

Nevertheless, the various fact-checking operations have to keep slapping down the claims that it's merely a front for Bill and Hillary's slush fund (which, sadly I've heard from far-left groups, as well as right-wingers). The latest false claim making the rounds is a Trump superpac ad saying the Clintons took over $100 million out of the organization. Politifact debunked that one:

But there's no drama in showing the Clintons to be honest. So they don't cover it.
And Trump's/VRWC bullshit about it becomes the accepted narrative.
