October Article: The Corrupt Clinton Foundation You've Never Heard Of
The Daily Caller ^ | 10-02-2016 | Richard Pollock

Three months after leaving the White House in 2001, former President Bill Clinton arrived in India to cheering throngs to help those who had just lost a million homes in the aftermath of a massive earthquake that killed 20,000 and injured 166,000.

In classic Clinton style, he solemnly promised that his new nonprofit — called the American India Foundation (AIF) — would rebuild 100 villages. Rajat Gupta, his millionaire co-chairman, pledged $1 billion for the victims.

It never happened. Years later, AIF’s annual reports were reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation and show only seven villages were partially rebuilt by Clinton’s group, and a mere $2.7 million of $53 million raised over a decade went to the earthquake victims.

$2.7 million of $53 million

That's about the same proportion that make it to the "needy" in the US from tax dollars.

Most gov spending on entitlements and charity goes to its own employees and infrastructure (buildings, IT systems, security).

The AIF stated to the IRS when it sought tax exempt status that it was a genuine disaster relief organization: "The American India Foundation was formed to render financial and managerial assistance to the disaster relief and rehabilitation effort in India following the Gujarat earthquake."

Let me guess, Lois Lerner fast-tracked this application without any requests for add'l paperwork, questions about political motives or operations, or simple "administrative delays."

Lots of these lies were told by Bill Clintoon. What ever happened to the 100,000 cops that he promised to Police departments all over America. It never happened but I seem to remember some money being allocated for it. I kept waiting for Mr Trump to bring up that false promise.

Sounds like a carbon copy of Haiti. Something like $200 million in contributions, less than $50 million actually made it to Haiti, very little actually rebuilt.

Remember “the concert for Bangladesh?” Not one penny made it to Bangladesh.

Which is one of the reasons that Music 'artists' supported the Clintons so strongly.
