14. This bullshit again from Peter Schweizer and Alex Jones!

No matter how much money Clinton asks to be donated to it, it is the CF Board that decides how to disburse it. And the 'only 15 percent' figure is disingenuous, to say the least.

http://www.factcheck.org/2015/06/where-does-clinton-foundation-money-go/

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina says that “so little” of the charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation “actually go to charitable works” — a figure CARLY for America later put at about 6 percent of its annual revenues — but Fiorina is simply wrong.
Fiorina and others are referring only to the amount donated by the Clinton Foundation to outside charities, ignoring the fact that most of the Clinton Foundation’s charitable work is performed in-house. One independent philanthropy watchdog did an analysis of Clinton Foundation funding and concluded that about 89 percent of its funding went to charity.
Simply put, despite its name, the Clinton Foundation is not a private foundation — which typically acts as a pass-through for private donations to other charitable organizations. Rather, it is a public charity. It conducts most of its charitable activities directly.

So you and Crazy Frank and Carly Fiorina are all wrong. Because you don't care about anything but trashing a Democrat.

Reporting without context, when something just happens to coincide with one's politics... randome Jun 2016 #21
I provided context. You, on the other hand, defended lies by attacking the messenger. Scuba Jun 2016 #22
That's probably a good idea democrattotheend Jun 2016 #6
