Shocker: In Wake of Hillary's Defeat, Donations to Clinton Foundation Dry Up
2016-11-21
[PJ] Who could have seen this coming?

Donations to the Clinton Foundation plummeted amid Hillary Clinton's failed presidential run, it has been revealed. The non-profit organization's latest tax filings show contributions fell 37 per cent to $108million - down from $172million in 2014, according to the New York Post.

Donations fell as the former Secretary of State left the group in April last year shortly after announcing her run for the White House. Her departure also meant that revenue brought in from paid speeches plunged from $3.6 million in 2014 to just $357,500.

The foundation became an issue during the presidential campaign when Donald Trump pledged to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate it amid pay-to-play allegations. Trump called the foundation 'the most corrupt enterprise in political history' adding, 'It must be shut down immediately.'

The Clintons really did gamble everything on hoisting the Dowager Empress of Chappaqua into the White House, because the only alternative was the Big House.

#13  In Wake of Hillary's Defeat, Donations to Clinton Foundation Dry Up

'Dry up' being the operative phrase. I'm longing for a necrotic outcome all around.

#12  One can expect Mr. Obama to have his foundation up and running by early or middle of next year.

I'm betting the IRS grants tax exempt status to that 'foundation' on January 23rd, 2017.

#8  Will "Die racist! Die!" satisfy you?

That does seem to be the current explanation coming from the Democrats but I find it a bit unsatisfying. To be honest I find it very satisfying at the same time. We live in weird times.

#4  This must be truly baffling to the Hillary fans that do not believe there was ever a quid quo pro. I'd be interested to hear their alternate explanations.

#2  The money dries up when the quid quo pro stops. It is a shocker.
