On Saturday, The American Thinker<\/a> posted an article about the dwindling revenue going toward the Clinton Foundation.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

According to Judicial Watch’s\u00a0Tom Fitton<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When one of the most recognizable nonprofits in the world loses\u00a075% of its contributions over a four-year period, there are typically investigatory reports written into what has gone wrong. That isn’t the case with the Clinton Foundation. The Foundation\u00a0received<\/a>\u00a0$62.9 million in 2016 but only $16.3 million in 2020, and very few people seem to have notice[d].<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is because most Beltway insiders know the Clinton Foundation’s primary purpose: to serve as a platform for Hillary Clinton’s political operation while lining the Clintons’ pockets by trading influence for money. That is why donations\u00a0spiked<\/a>\u00a0when Hillary was secretary of state and most of the world thought she was destined to become president \u2014 and why they cratered after she lost.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

It’s always been a political influence-peddling operation.\u00a0\u00a0As Fitton notes,\u00a0donations spiked when Hillary Clinton was riding high on the hog as President Obama’s secretary of state.\u00a0\u00a0After she left office and lost the 2016 presidency to Donald J. Trump, she got “defunded,” big.\u00a0\u00a0Trump cost the harridan a lot of baksheesh she had been counting on.\u00a0\u00a0Issues & Insights has an excellent chart\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0demonstrating the trajectory along with a good editorial to go with it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Foundation, laughably enough, attributed the drop-off in donations to the pandemic.\u00a0\u00a0Fitton shot that down with this:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This argument doesn’t explain the tens of millions the Foundation lost between 2016 and 2019 and ignores that charitable giving was up by\u00a05.1%<\/a>\u00a0in America last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please follow the link to read the entire article. It includes a list of large honorariums paid to Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton for their speeches. Although the donations have dwindled, they are still coming in. The list of where the donations are coming from is very interesting. There evidently are some people who are betting that the Clintons still wield significant influence in American politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
