How Do You Spell Apparent Fraud? The Clinton Foundation, Shady Accounting and AIDS

Please, OP, explain how the hell someone other than an insider would know that it's engaging in massive accounting fraud? Or, an auditor. It's the equivalent of you declaring that I've hidden things behind the wall in my house - there's no way in hell you would know that, unless you or someone else has been in my house.

In other words, this is just a smear campaign, and without any evidence to support it, I think the thread should be locked as an unsubstantiated smear campaign.
As to your first point, take it up with the author. I see the article as the result of professional journalism, something that has been on the back burner for a long, long time in this nation. As to your second point, it's your choice.

Maybe this will help you reach a decision. I simply clicked on the author's name at the top of the article.

https://www.byline.com/journalist/kensilverstein/biography
I’m a Washington, DC-based investigative journalist and currently a staff writer for VICE and columnist ("Washington Babylon") for the New York Observer. My stories have landed people in prison, launched U.S. congressional investigations, led to FBI raids, and brought down one of the most “prestigious” banks in Washington — Riggs, which was laundering money for dictators like Augusto Pinochet of Chile and Teodoro Obiang of Equatorial Guinea.

I’ve reported from dozens of countries and speak Spanish and Portuguese fluently. My favorite topic, broadly speaking, is the grey world -- where governments and criminals secretly collaborate.
He's not only an investigative journalist, he appears to have an impressive background. Don't make your decision until you read his entire bio at the link I provided.

surely it is possible to investigate potential wrongdoing without reverting to mindless partisan bickering.

if it's fraud it's fraud.
if it's not fraud, it's not fraud.

republican/democrat/martian has got absolutely nothing to do with it
overt partisan finger-pointing only leads to mindlessness on both sides

You must...I mean seriously...you must REALLY be new here.
 
The Clinton Crime Family..as far back as you care to look they have been out and out crooks.

The Bush Crime Family..as far back as you care to look they have been out and out crooks.

Bush attended St. George's School in Newport, Rhode Island, from 1908 to 1913. In 1913, he enrolled at Yale University, where his grandfather, James Smith Bush (class of 1844), and his uncle Robert E. Sheldon Jr (class of 1904) had matriculated. Three subsequent generations of the Bush family have been Yale alumni. Prescott Bush was admitted to the Zeta Psi fraternity and Skull and Bones secret society. George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush are also members of that society.
According to Skull and Bones lore, Prescott Bush was among a group of Bonesmen who dug up and removed the skull of Geronimo from his grave at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 1918.[2] According to historian David L. Miller, the Bonesmen probably dug up somebody at Fort Sill, but not Geronimo.

😛

Even Great, great, grand daddy Bush was born in Jowsy, and his wife of 25 years was hit and killed by a car in 1920.

I suspect a cover up, call out a special committee.

You do know That Bush and Clinton both represent corrupt dynasties. One group salivates for the Bush team and you have your useful idiots salivating for the Clinton dynasty.

This is what 2016 will be one of Two dynastic families to choose from. We have plenty of useful idiots on both sides.

Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III on August 19, 1946, at Julia Chester Hospital in Hope, Arkansas.[2][3] His father, William Jefferson Blythe, Jr. (1918–1946), was a traveling salesman who died in an automobile accident three months before Clinton was born.[4] His mother, Virginia Dell (née Cassidy; 1923–1994), traveled to New Orleans to study nursing soon after he was born.

fucking criminal masterminds, those Clintons 🙄

Please. How can a self made man like Bill Clinton be a "dynasty"? Or Hillary, the daughter of a merely affluent small businessman?

The Bush clan is an entirely different story. They've enjoyed wealth, influence & power for generations. They are a dynasty.
 
Why don't you start a committee? See how well those worked out for the Right in the past.

Or, is the "fix" in from the begging with this one as well?

It doesn't matter. The Right is a bumbling bunch of buffoons. They won't find jack (since there isn't any) and then cry how it was fixed.
 
So when the IRS is demanding that the Clinton Foundation amend ten years worth of filings, the reason they are doing so is because of a witch hunt instigated by the right?

Is this paranoia or some form of leftist dementia driving these thoughts? I continually read here that the left will be the smartest people in any room, yet there doesn't appear to be much brain power being applied in this thread. I know that attention spans are short in our ADHD world but there is not that much reading involved. The article is generously linked for those wanting to seek additional information the easy way.

Bonus points will be doled out if you look up the meaning of "inurement".

Nobody has suggested that. The IRS demands filings be amended for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with criminality.

Where they leave off is where you pick up the pitchfork. Maybe we should wait to see what they have to say rather than projecting what they might say for the usual partisan purposes, huh?

One of the more interesting things about Brandolini's law is what it doesn't say- how some will never reject the bullshit for what it is, no matter what, that it succeeds in warping their basic attitudes.

How many people believe that Obama wasn't born in this country? That fast & furious was an attempt to create a gun grabber atmosphere? That Benghazi was more than a tragedy? That the IRS targeted Teatards for political reasons? That Hillary's email server means more than jack shit? That Donald Trump should be President?

This.
If there was any wrongdoing, the Clinton's will be clean.
 
Can Koskinen provide the same level of protection that Lois Lerner did? With calls for Koskinen's impeachment, it may be a challenge but surely not impossible within the confines of the Obama administration. I think how it goes will depend on how King Obama wishes it to go. He just might want one of these Foundations for his own self when he gets out of office.
How do you spell apparently goofy OP??
