The Clinton people are coming out and saying Hillary wasn't involved in any decisions with countries who donated money during her time as Secretary of State. Even if that is true, how can we have a Secretary of State that can't make decisions or be involved in those decisions because she's taking money from them?
A Reuters investigation has found that for three years in a row, the Clinton Foundation reported to the IRS that it received zero in funds from foreign and U.S. governments, a dramatic fall-off from the tens of millions of dollars in foreign government contributions reported in preceding years. The years in question were during the time Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State, during which accepting foreign donations would have been violations of the law if she influenced or made any decision that may have affected those countries.Now imagine if another tax exempt had done something similar on their tax filings and then got caught. Would the IRS just say, golly gee, you go ahead and correct your lies and we're cool with that." At some point there has to be a prosecution of these per se crimes that have been committed by the Clintons.
The Reuters audit found those IRS filings were wrong and have now been admitted to by the Clinton Foundation. During those years several foreign governments continued to give tens of millions of dollars to Clinton Foundation period. Those governments were identified on the foundation's annually updated donor list that had been misplaced along with broad indications of how much each had cumulatively given since they began donating.
"We are prioritizing an external review to ensure the accuracy of the 990s from 2010, 2011 and 2012 and expect to refile with the IRS when the review is completed," Craig Minassian, a foundation spokesman, said in an email. He could not explain how 100's of millions in foreign donations could have been overlooked 3 years in a row but said their goal is to be 100% transparent so they will make the appropriate filings to correct the errors.
