Hillary Paid 35% Taxes and Gave 11% to Charity -- Bernie? Not so Much

[COLGATE4]

150. More than 89% of Clinton Foundation funds (by audit)

go out to other charitable undertakings. Assuming that the remaining 11% is for administrative expenses (a very low figure for most charitable foundations), where's all the goodies the Clintons are accused of getting? Rather hard to find.

First, eye witness testimony (TV shows excepted) is probably the worse evidence there is. Eye witnesses are generally unreliable even when their testimony is preserved early in the game. The more time that passes from the event the more unreliable eyewitness testimony becomes. Look at all the instances where DNA has cleared people in prison for life (or on Death Row) who were sent there solely based on eyewitness testimony. Hard science, like forensic evidence is the gold standard for evidence. Eyewitness testimony, kind of tin.

Second, research and reading in court only counts for zero since it is inadmissible hearsay. The major exception to this (there are some minor, highly technical exceptions but those are only relevant to trial lawyers) is when a person has been qualified as an expert witness. But to be qualified as an expert the party proposing to use the expert must first convince the court to let him/her testify as an expert. If the person testifying is not qualified as an expert, then he/she is not permitted to talk about what (s)he read or researched.

Finally, all the legalese aside, I asked you for some evidence. So far I have seen exactly zero. "I know what my research says" is not evidence, except being evidence that there's nothing behind the statement.
