Hillary Clinton’s campaign has made the non-release of Donald Trump’s tax returns a big issue in the campaign. Trump has refused to do so, citing a “ongoing, multi-year audit” by the IRS.
So to drive home the point, Hillary today released her tax returns…but may have made it an even bigger issue that hurts her instead.
That’s because of one shocking detail that is raising big questions about her and her husband’s financial dealing at exactly the wrong time.
From Matt Palumbo:
Among the highlights: Hillary and Bill earned $10,745,378 last year, and wrote off $1,042,000 in charitable contributions.
But what’s most interesting is which charities benefited from the Clinton’s “charity.”
A $42,000 contribution was made to Desert Classic Charities.
And the remaining million? That went from one pocket into another, as Hillary and her husband donated it to their very own Clinton Foundation.
That’s right — 96% of their charitable contributions went to their OWN “Foundation”….
The Clinton Foundation gives about as much to legitimate charities as Hillary Clinton.
The Foundation spends a mere 10 percent of its revenue on charitable grants, while an equal 10 percent is spent on travel, 33 percent on salaries/benefits, and 47 percent on all other expenses (rent, supplies, IT). By contrast, charities like the American Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders spend 92 and 90 percent, respectively, of the revenue they raise on the charitable causes for which they exist.
It should come as little surprise then that after the FBI finished investigating Hillary Clinton, they began investigating her Foundation.
But Hillary’s “philanthropy” revelation could not have come at a worse time.
That’s because, as we reported hours ago, multiple FBI investigations are underway along with U.S. Attorneys, involving potential corruption charges against the Clinton Foundation, according to a former senior law enforcement official.
