Flashback…Schneiderman let Clinton Foundation skip identifying foreign donors

Loading

State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman gave the Clinton Foundation a pass on identifying foreign donors in its charitable filings — making it impossible to know if it got any special favors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, according to a report Tuesday.



Scripps News found that the foundation and its subsidiary, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, took in $225 million in government donations between 2010 and 2014.

New York’s charity law clearly states: “Organizations that received a contribution or grant from a government agency during the reporting period shall include the name of each agency from which contributions were received and the amount of each contribution.”

But both the foundation and the CHAI failed to do that, and Schneiderman, a member of Clinton’s “leadership council” in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump, did nothing about it.

Other charities complied, including the George W. Bush foundation, which reported receiving $5 million from Saudi Arabia and $500,000 from Kuwait.

On its website, the Clinton Foundation reveals its foreign donors, but using only broad ranges, such as $5 million to $10 million, without any time frames. The IRS doesn’t require such disclosures.

Now it turns out he’s a sex pervert.
Maybe this investigation can be re-opened?
Hope so.

No need to demand the required disclosures from people with a long history of honesty and integrity like the Clinton’s.

@Nanny G: Maybe HIS name kept coming up in the investigation… or the Clinton’s. But, let’s not worry about any obstruction when a liberal commits it.
