Shocker: In Wake of Hillary's Defeat, Donations to Clinton Foundation Dry Up BY MICHAEL WALSH NOVEMBER 20, 2016

Donations to the Clinton Foundation plummeted amid Hillary Clinton's failed presidential run, it has been revealed. The non-profit organization's latest tax filings show contributions fell 37 per cent to $108million - down from $172million in 2014, according to the New York Post.

Donations fell as the former Secretary of State left the group in April last year shortly after announcing her run for the White House. Her departure also meant that revenue brought in from paid speeches plunged from $3.6 million in 2014 to just $357,500.

The foundation became an issue during the presidential campaign when Donald Trump pledged to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate it amid pay-to-play allegations. Trump called the foundation 'the most corrupt enterprise in political history' adding, 'It must be shut down immediately.

Drying up? Kidding me? I’d be shocked if they ever took in another nickel.

Trump should look at those who paid to play and dump them in the porta potty.

“I wonder how many are going to demand their money back?”

I don’t know about a clawback, but a RICO trial is in order, and when they are found guilty, the New FedGov should confiscate all of it and maybe really try to help Haiti.

Probably enough to deplete the kitty. The Clinton’s had better hope the secret service is diligent.

The article doesn’t say, but I’d have to assume that this article is speaking about the 2015 returns of the Foundation.

I’d be really interested to see the monthly cash-flow for 2016, but I don’t think that will be available for another year. I’d have thought that donations would have skyrocketed while Hil was running and the leading candidate. Now, of course, I’d expect a dramatic falloff. I think that might be why they’ve started talking up Chelsea’s political career.

One other thing—with the Clintons, you can never tell exactly what the whole story is. The Clinton Foundation was tightly tied with a Canadian Foundation involved with mining magnate Giustra. We know very little about the Canadian side of the finances. After all, if you’re a Clinton accepting a bribe, you can answer the question “where should I send the check” in a lot of different ways.

Many ways for the Trump administration to play this.

Of course they have to find out who they can trust and who they can't in the DOJ, and do so fairly quickly.

I’m thinking it’s going to be worse for 2016.
The Post article only mentions thru Sept. 2015

This was a payoff for favors scam.

If it was legit, there shouldn’t have been any change in the donation levels.

This seems like such a slam dunk corruption case.

One can’t peddle influence when one no longer has influence.
