Clinton Foundation received about $26 million in previously undisclosed payments. Is this an integrity issue?

2015-05-22T05:02:40-04:00

The Clinton Foundation reported Thursday that it has received as much as $26.4 million in previously undisclosed payments from major corporations, universities, foreign sources and other groups.

The disclosure came as the foundation faced questions over whether it fully complied with a 2008 ethics agreement to reveal its donors and whether any of its funding sources present conflicts of interest for Hillary Rodham Clinton as she begins her presidential campaign.

The money was paid as fees for speeches by Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. Foundation officials said the funds were tallied internally as “revenue” rather than donations, which is why they had not been included in the public listings of its contributors published as part of the 2008 agreement.

It's all "unofficial" as she hasn't "officially" announced running for president. I don't trust her PERIOD. The private email account, now undisclosed funds. As president (Please God NO) what else will her and her husband not disclose??

Didn't they say they were broke after leaving the White House?

UBS Deal Shows Clinton's Complicated Ties ...

A few weeks after Hillary Clinton was sworn in as secretary of state in early 2009, she was summoned to Geneva by her Swiss counterpart to discuss an urgent matter. The Internal Revenue Service was suing UBS AG to get the identities of Americans with secret accounts.

If the case proceeded, Switzerland’s largest bank would face an impossible choice: Violate Swiss secrecy laws by handing over the names, or refuse and face criminal charges in U.S. federal court.

Within months, Mrs. Clinton announced a tentative legal settlement—an unusual intervention by the top U.S. diplomat. UBS ultimately turned over information on 4,450 accounts, a fraction of the 52,000 sought by the IRS, an outcome that drew criticism from some lawmakers who wanted a more extensive crackdown.

From that point on, UBS’s engagement with the Clinton family’s charitable organization increased. Total donations by UBS to the Clinton Foundation grew from less than $60,000 through 2008 to a cumulative total of about $600,000 by the end of 2014, according the foundation and the bank.

In order to have an integrity issue one must have some integrity. Therefore there is no integrity issue with Hillary as there is no integrity.

It's only an integrity issue to those that have some...

If you look at charities, you will see that many are ranked by the amount of every dollar that actually gets to the individual who needs help.

If you take out the Clinton family (who all have huge salaries from the foundation by the way), a tiny fraction of every dollar go to people in need. This foundation is a money laundering operation in my opinion.

Huge integrity/honesty issue. Seems like every other day somebody turns over another rock in the Clinton asylum to find a Cracker Jacks surprise. Look at the trail of loss of integrity issues this woman and her husband have left. There are so many examples but you just don't come up with $26 million out of the blue, unless you are the IRS trying to develop another Star Trek parody. Some of this money was paid by foreign sources. I am most interested in this because it looks like she was being paid off for future favors, at least that is the implication. One more to look at. There seems to be a gap in the email trail for two months over the time the Benghazi fiasco cost us the lives of an Ambassador and three of our military brethren. You cannot tell me as SEC STATE that she sent 0 emails??? Definitely at a loss for integrity and trustworthiness. Oh, and did you hear about the $600 haircut? She definitely is representative of all Americans ....... NOT!

It's only an issue if someone wants to undermine an individual's campaign. Charities make adjustments to their reports on a regular basis. Publicly traded corporations do the same thing when they file amended reports to the SEC (which can be retrieved in the SEC's EDGAR database). The only thing that makes this newsworthy is the fact that Hillary's name can be attached to it.

Of course it's an integrity issue. Unfortunately the liberal sheep don't care and will still vote for Hillary. The proof of that is her running away with the lead in the Democrat race.

It is. She has (rather, her PAC has) received more than that from foreign country organizations. Add in her mail server debacle, the 30,000 deletions of mails and her comment where she said "What, Like wipe with a cloth?" I'd like to choke her. Why should they get paid for speeches glorifying herself, Bill or poor Chelsea? Dr. Ben Carson for President!

These bastards owe their soul to foreign governments, not only did she as Sec. of State made it possible to sell American weapons but today none other than the New York Times, "the Progressive Lead Rag" tells us about how she approved the sale of Strategic Assets to the Russians (is there not a law against it, and if so how was it circumvented?) Russian publications Pravda gloating how their great leader Putin now made Russia the biggest Nuclear power in the world.
Doesn't this makes your blood boil?, how can Americans even think of voting for this low life Scum?
She should be brought up of charges of Treason, utilizing her position for Self Enrichment, Impeached and hung.
Is this new?, of course not, if in doubt ask former President Nixon about Watergate, the only difference is that a breaking and entering case cost him the presidency, the Libtard media made sure it was so, in this case these people do it openly and nothing happens. Do we live by Double Rules, Laws? Are there "Untouchables" in our country, seems there is no doubt.
There is a GOP Congress, why won't they institute an investigation on this Corrupt, Lying wretch, appoint an Independent Counsel and throw her in jail?
