While I will continue to support the work of the Foundation, I will step down from the Board and will no longer raise funds for it.

FOUNDATIONLESS

This thing must really be chaffing the asses of their focus groups.

Bill is setting up the opposition PACs for low hanging fruit when it comes to TV ads.
Nothing to see here. "I still gotta pay the bills".

Most corrupt nominee for one of the 2 major parties in history.

Lyndon LaRouche had more integrity from his Federal jail cell. 07-coffee3
Hell, Bill & Hillary can live off the Interest alone without another dime put in it. Sounds like Sound advice. Good luck in your Retirement !
This is sad really. A charity that has raised billions of dollars to fight malaria, AIDS and world hunger is losing its top fundraiser because lying Republicans have spent months convincing people the money raised for the Foundation went directly into the Clinton family's pocket.

And for added irony, all the while supporting a man who is grifting his own donors by spending millions of campaign dollars on his own ventures.

Sad!
They absolutely raise money for that but most of the money ends up sitting in bank accounts.
Just not true. It rakes in a quarter billion dollars a year, ahs raised in total $2 billion, and has $189 million in assets.

Can you point me to a success story in any of the above cases and the Clinton foundation? You know, something like what AIDS foundation they donated to, and how much they gave? I mean, if they raised billions, I'm expecting it to be a number commensurate with a good charity, such as 90% of the amount raised.

Thanks

The foundation has $108 million in property and equipment? WTF?

Ho-Hum. The Clintons-never-get-in-trouble-with-the-law-therefore-they-have-done-nothing-wrong canard is really getting old. Even Democrat pundits and some of Hillary's friends and advisors are saying Hillary should distance herself from the foundation.

Hillary is the very embodiment of everything that Bernie progressives think is wrong with government and the political class. Why can't you guys see it?

The Clinton Foundation was never a big issue for us Bernie supporters because we're not insane. The paid Wall Street speeches on the other hand was, because that was going into her pocket.

Dems are saying that because it's become a huge political liability because the desperate Republicans have made it a political football.

There's no evidence of wrongdoing with the Foundation, which has helped hundreds of millions of people. Yes, some of the foreign donors are troubling, but a. if it's not going into her pocket she's not being "bought" and b. why not separate bad actors from their money?

"The Clinton family’s mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9 million on direct aid."

Walks like a slush fund. Talks like a slush fund = Slush fund.

If all that money was legit, nothing would have stopped the Ka-chingtons. That "charity" would still continue.

You plastered your avatar with Hilldawgs photo and pitched your I'm with her speech well before Bernie officially endorsed her. You're no Bernie supporter.
I'm not sure he's old enough to vote.
