Investigeate Now!

          In a June 5^th article in the Wall Street Journal, Kimberly Strassel described the Clinton Foundation as a family enterprise set up as a global shakedown operation designed to finance and nurture the Clintons’ continued political ambitions.  It’s a Hillary super PAC that throws in the occasional good deed.  She added that the Clinton Foundation is a parking lot for Clinton campaign workers.  She named ten who previously worked for the Clintons while they held public office, and added that more than a dozen other foundation staffers worked for the Democratic National Committee or other politicians or super PACs.  Many others are paid “consultants” like the notorious hack Sidney Blumenthal. 

          Is it legal? Yes, barely.  Is it dirty?  You bet.  At the very least the Clinton Foundation shouldn’t qualify as a tax-exempt charity.  Only 15% of its funds go to the occasional good deed.  The rest goes to pay for foundation salaries and expenses, not to mention a healthy chunk off the top for the Clintons themselves.  To pay the bills, as Bill Clinton famously said.
          So why would anyone donate to the Clinton Foundation knowing that so little of their donations go to charitable works?  Because donors have expectations that their generosity will be repaid in kind when, for example, Hillary makes it to the White House.  It’s pay for play, pure and simple.
          This is a scandal of epic proportions crying out for a thorough investigation.  Will we get one?  Of course not.  Not while Democrats control the White House, the Justice Department, the IRS, and the FBI.
          The Clinton Foundation would be the biggest scandal in the history of this country if it weren‘t for an even bigger scandal: the failure to investigate it.
