Bill and Hillary Clinton left government broke and actually in debt from all the various legal bills they needed to fend over impeachment and other corruption-related investigations.
Within a few years, they were very wealthy people and the money never stopped flowing in until Hillary lost a winnable election.
The slush fund Clinton Foundation is not new in the swamp nor illegal Paul Ryan just moved millions from his campaign account into a private foundation but that is why the American people are so furious.
We hate legal bribery and we know that this form of cashing in is only available to the well-connected the average Joe would spend years in jail if he did the same stuff the swamp does on a daily basis.
So it should come as no surprise to discover that Ukraine donated more money to the Clinton Foundation than any other county. The corrupt Saudis? Nope, Ukraine beat them by 3 million or so.
From Lifezette:
Ukraine became a vast pool of U.S. taxpayer-funded aid that poured into that long-corrupt nation and then saw piles of kickbacks returned to powerful and politically connected recipients, according to a report in DC Clothesline.
The far-Left media is still trying to ignore how many times Joe Biden grabbed some of that Ukraine stash for his family but chances are it wasnt anywhere near what the Clintons did and all with the blessing of President [Barack] Obama, the same outlet also claims.
It then quotes from an earlier report in The Wall Street Journal from 2015 about funding: Between 2009 and 2013, including when Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state, the Clinton Foundation received at least $8.6 million from the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, according to that foundation, which is based in Kiev, Ukraine.
It was created by Mr. Pinchuk, whose fortune stems from a pipe-making company. He served two terms as an elected member of the Ukrainian Parliament and is a proponent of closer ties between Ukraine and the European Union.
The outlet then went on to connect the dots that bind Mr. Pinchuk and the Obama White House by quoting from another piece, this one an opinion piece by Andrew McCarthy in Fox News from a little over a week ago: It is in connection with Paul Manafort that we encounter some genuine collusion targeting the 2016 campaign: willful collaboration among foreign governments, the Obama administration, and the Clinton campaign.
Manafort had brought influential Democrats into his Ukrainian work, such as former Obama White House Counsel Greg Craig and the consulting firm started by Obama and Clinton adviser John Podesta a firm that is still run by Podestas brother.
Leshchenko just happens to be a vassal of Victor Pinchuk, a Ukrainian billionaire who just happens to give millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation. Wonder of wonders, Leshchenko took a public, strident anti-Trump position during the U.S. campaign highly unusual for a foreign parliamentarian, the McCarthy piece also said.
McCarthys piece then also added, Which brings us back to Serhiy Leshchenko, Ukraines unabashed Clinton backer. And [what do you] know: Besides serving the government in Kiev and providing scintillating geopolitical analysis, Leshchenko had a side job: He was a source for wait for it Fusion GPS the Clinton campaign-opposition arm, led by Glenn Simpson, which later dreamed up the Steele dossier.
The fact that Democrats think the American people are unable to connect the dots says a lot about how smug, elite and out-of-touch these people are.
Gee. With billions gone missing....I wonder where in heck it coulda went? /S
Ukraine is always broke. So the reality, is that Ukraine laundered money the US government gave them and gave it to Clinton. Clinton took taxpayer money into her foundation
And the evil bitch actually took money from Nigeria. How can you do something like that and not just burst into flames from being so evil? The Great White Hope went to Nigeria and took money from them.
Took? More like bribed.
That is what it looks like to me. Money laundering.

“the average Joe would spend years in jail if he did the same stuff the swamp does on a daily basis.”
So which is it? One sentence says IRS not illegal. Next says it is.

After Haiti it would be like falling off of a log.
I’m surprised they didn’t take money from Haiti.
Don’t you dare forget about all the good works that foundation carried out. /s
They extracted $700,000 from Sri Lanka? How did that help the poor?
We have all these politicians who never did an honest days work in their life somehow buying huge mansions and living like the ultra-wealthy after they get out of office. How do we think that works?
These people aren’t donating to the Clinton Foundation out of a sense of goodwill.
In 2014
The U.S. disbursed $33.2 billion$19 billion in economic assistance to 184 countries and $14.2 billion in military assistance to 142 countries. Out of the top six U.S. foreign aid recipients, five of them were Muslim countries. And yet it seems the U.S. cant buy good press in the Middle East.
The reason we give money to foreign countries that hate us, is that they send kickbacks to U.S. Politicians.
Obama was bowing to show appreciation for the kickbacks.
EXACTLY!!!

Bingo!....and we paid Hunter Biden...Heinz...Archer...and MANY OTHER Dem “operatives”.....BILLIONS got laundered!
I think US aid to Sri Lanka has been $30-40 million per year. Most ends up in the pockets of politicos. Trickle-down economics.
$700k is a pretty small kickback. I wonder if thats the typical Clinton cut...
Not opinion here- established fact.
Clinton Foundation was set up to build the Clinton Library aka The World Biggest Double aside and to administer Ex President Clintons presidential papers and assists as well as fund his official post Presidential affairs
Predictably, It has morphed into something far different - the piggy bank and slush fund for Bill and Hill Ms Insider - Mr Outsider world wide pay for play public corruption ( and worse) racketeering operation they been running.
Heck, what they have been doing is criminal regardless of any foundation, but the way the Clinton Foundation has been operated is totally illegal and violates most all laws pertaining to the operation of non profit Foundations
The Clintons have tried to fix this with a shadowy network of international shell companies and some tweaking of the foundation itself but if there is ever any kind of serious investigation things will get interesting
