FACT-CHECK: NO, THE CLINTON FOUNDATION DID NOT ‘SPEND NINETY PERCENT’ OF MONEY DONATED ON ‘PROGRAMS’

JEROME HUDSON 19 Oct 2016

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said during the third presidential debate, “We at the Clinton Foundation spend ninety percent — ninety percent — of all the money that is donated on behalf of programs of people around the world and in our own country.” Fact-Check: FALSE

Indeed, Clinton’s “ninety percent” claim is false according to her troubled charity’s own tax filings.

Peter Schweizer...author of Clinton Cash said the Clinton Foundation has spent as little as six percent of its total income on actual charitable endeavors.

“If you actually look at the numbers of their filings and 990s, that’s what it indicates,” Schweizer said last month in an interview with host Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily. “The Clinton Foundation will say, ‘We assisted or facilitated in 100,000 kids getting immunizations.’ Well, okay, what does that mean? And they don’t really tell you. They don’t really explain to you how it works.”

“So the number is absolutely correct, that six percent goes to other charities,” Schweizer continued. “The other 94 percent is in this stew of marketing, and management, and travel expenses, and sort of all these obscure things, that it’s really hard to dissect what is the end result of that 94 percent being spent.”

What’s more? Political analyst Sean Davis, the co-founder of The Federalist and a former adviser to Sen. Tom Coburn and Gov. Rick Perry, examined the Clinton Foundation’s 2013 tax filings and found that “Hillary Clinton’s non-profit spent more on office supplies and rent than it did on charitable grants.”

“The Clinton Foundation spent nearly $8.5 million–10 percent of all 2013 expenditures–on travel,” Davis contends. “Nearly $4.8 million–5.6 percent of all expenditures–was spent on office supplies.”

lots of good stuff in Breitbart fact checking

[bigbob]

Out of all her lies, the 90% one is the one Trump and the RNC shoudl be promoting 24/7. Every family in America has been ripped off and no one like being scammed.

[Diogenesis]

Don’t like defending Hillary, BUT
she might have deducted the money paid to
the Comey brothers.

Just 5.7 percent of the Clinton Foundation’s massive 2014 budget actually went to charitable grants, according to the tax-exempt organization’s IRS filings. The rest went to salaries and employee benefits, fundraising and “other expenses.”

The Clinton Foundation spent a hair under $91.3 million in 2014, the organization’s IRS filings show. But less than $5.2 million of that went to charitable grants.

“We at the Clinton Foundation spend ninety percent — ninety percent — of all the money that is donated on behalf of programs of people around the world and in our own country.”

Hillary is using typical Clinton-Speak here. Look at what she actually said, not what she wants it to appear:

We...spend...ninety percent...of all the money...THAT IS DONATED on behalf of programs...”

She said they spend ninety percent of the money that is DONATED on behalf of the programs, she DIDN’T say the money donated actually GOES to those programs. Slick taught her well.

[Sasparilla]

Another fact check. Heller had nothing to do with toddlers. It was solely about the ability to be armed for self defense.Just another lie from the pathological lying hag.

[xzins]

You know what Gideon...that is a great catch.

You are exactly right. That sentence can be read 2 ways.

[Gideon300]

That sentence can be read 2 ways.
_______________________________________________________

Maybe because I don’t trust ANY Clinton for ANYTHING, but I see it as saying the money was DONATED on behalf of the programs in question, but no indication of where it was actually spent.

Everything a Clinton says has to be dissected word by word, else we’re back again at the “definition of ‘is’” when they get caught.

Regarding the "Reducing the Deficit" claim ... during FY2016 the National Debt increased $1.4 Trillion.

[marktwain]

The supplies include hot and cold running secretaries.

[liberalh8ter]

Clinton Foundation slush fund

[usurper]

How is it possible to spend $4.8M on office supplies?

You buy them and then resell them on e-bay for cash. Then the money is effectively laundered. The best part is that they also get to take a deduction for the expense.

[IM2MAD]

A truckload of erasers?

[reformedliberal]

Now, THAT sounds like the Clintons we know!

Thinking about it, I bet everyone has top of the line computers, large format printers, 6-7 figure ergonomic chairs, and antique desks. And they still had a few million left over.
