>While everyone's been gearing up for President Trump's inauguration, the Clinton Foundation made a major announcement this week that went by with almost no notice: For all intents and purposes, it's closing its doors.

>In a tax filing, the Clinton Global Initiative said it's firing 22 staffers and closing its offices, a result of the gusher of foreign money that kept the foundation afloat suddenly drying up after Hillary Clinton failed to win the presidency.

>It proves what we've said all along: The Clinton Foundation was little more than an influence-peddling scheme to enrich the Clintons, and had little if anything to do with "charity," either overseas or in the U.S. That sound you heard starting in November was checkbooks being snapped shut in offices around the world by people who had hoped their donations would buy access to the next president of the United States.

>In November, we asked the question: "Is The Clinton Foundation Doomed?" The answer is yes.

>All the way back in May, we outlined how the Clinton Foundation had taken in $100 million from a collection of Gulf sheikhs and billionaires, along with millions from private businesses, who expected — and received — special access to the State Department's top official, Hillary.

>In his 2015 book "Clinton Cash," author Peter Schweizer showed how during Hillary's years in government "the Clintons have conducted or facilitated hundreds of large transactions (either as private citizens or government officials) with foreign governments, corporations and private financiers." He called the sums going to the Clintons "staggering."

>Using the Freedom of Information Act, Judicial Watch in August obtained emails (that had been hidden from investigators) showing that Clinton's top State Department aide, Huma Abedin, had given "special expedited access to the secretary of state" for those who gave $25,000 to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation. Many of those were facilitated by a former executive of the foundation, Doug Band, who headed Teneo, a shell company that managed the Clintons' affairs.

>As part of this elaborate arrangement, Abedin was given special permission to work for the State Department, the Clinton Foundation and Teneo — another very clear conflict of interest.

>As Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said at the time, "These new emails confirm that Hillary Clinton abused her office by selling favors to Clinton Foundation donors."

>The seedy saga doesn't end there. Indeed, there are so many facets to it, some may never be known. But there is still at least one and possibly four active federal investigations into the Clintons' supposed charity.

>Americans aren't willing to forgive and forget. Earlier this month, the IBD/TIPP Poll asked Americans whether they would like President Obama to pardon Hillary for any crimes she may have committed as secretary of state, including the illegal use of an unsecured homebrew email server. Of those queried, 57% said no. So if public sentiment is any guide, the Clintons' problems may just be beginning.

>Writing in the Washington Post in August of 2016, Charles Krauthammer pretty much summed up the whole tawdry tale: "The foundation is a massive family enterprise disguised as a charity, an opaque and elaborate mechanism for sucking money from the rich and the tyrannous to be channeled to Clinton Inc.," he wrote. "Its purpose is to maintain the Clintons' lifestyle (offices, travel accommodations, etc.), secure profitable connections, produce favorable publicity and reliably employ a vast entourage of retainers, ready to serve today and at the coming Clinton Restoration."

>Except, now there is no Clinton Restoration. So there's no reason for any donors to give money to the foundation. It lays bare the fiction of a massive "charitable organization," and shows it for what it was: a scam to sell for cash the waning influence of the Democrats' pre-eminent power couple. As far as the charity landscape goes, the Clinton Global Initiative won't be missed.

Finally, something good to come from this election. Unfortunately this is a microscopic victory compared to what we have heard about the president elect

It's rather odd how Trump single-handedly piledrived the Clinton empire into the smokey pits of Tartarus. Let's than a year ago everyone thought it was untouchable. Now they're done for good until Chelsea decides to ascend to her throne.

Norway has donated shitloads of tax payers money to the clinton foundation. Somehow the US started buying a lot of Norwegian produced weapons when Hilary was foreign minister.

I'm glad Trump won.

Love,

Clinton Global Initiative is only a small part of the Clinton foundation, and that's what's shutting down.
Also while it was filed this week, we knew this would happen since September.
The pay-for-access is blatant and incriminating, but don't misreport shit.
>>
>>101854
that's why the investigations into the foundation need to continue to show her role in it all and find her legally (criminally) responsible for her actions so that doesn't happen.

ooooh, spicy

So it turns out the Clinton Foundation was a corrupt means of influencing politics all along? Who knew?!

Yes, I'm sure all that oil that has made Norway rich is for domestic use only. Idiot.
>>
>>101997
No not at all. In fact the purpose of this biased article is to conflate the Clinton Global Initiative with The Clinton Foundation.
>>
>>101813
> Clinton Global Initiative said it's firing 22 staffers and closing its offices

Of course it is. Who pays to play with a Clinton when the Clinton has no power? This fact points pretty strongly to its accused purpose: influence peddling for foreigners.

you fucking thick bastard - what an idiot - what about the OIL you uneducated cunt?

Are you out of your goddamn mind? This is actual factual bribery committed on a massive scale, perpetuated by 2 people who've held monstrously powerful positions in the government to enrich themselves via foreign governments and bodies at the expense of the American public.

How that isn't a blatant violation of their sworn duties to uphold the constitution, among all the other miserable horrible implications, I do not know.

>BUT TRUMP
Gas yourself

>>102072
>blatant violation of their sworn duties to uphold the constitution
Trump's entire campaign has been a big "fuck you" to our legal and political system. And do you seriously think Trump, a billionaire, has no financial interests that overshadow his duties as president? Fucking lol you might as well have written "cuck me, daddy" on your ballot

So yeah, The Clinton Foundation isn't dead, but it was now severely weakened by the E-mail scandal.

The foundation isn't dead but the global initiative is. It is a mixed revew there because of semantics.

Thanks for the advice Haiti, but I think we'll be fine.

They lie as dogs, as animals, as two-legged things that bare no resemblance to life and spirit. It's as if they're dead inside and most people too stupid to notice only babble comes out their mouth, especially when they're pretending to care about others.

The dude literally said "finally some good". Are you illiterate? That anon is against Clinton too, they're just pointing out the obvious, that a billionaire politician almost certainly has personal interests that overshadow his duties and promises as president. The Clintons were crooked too but now they're out of the picture, and Trump is in office, clearly we should be keeping close tabs him
