Big labor funneled millions of dollars in dues money to the Clinton Foundation, according to a new report.

The National Institute for Labor Relations Research (NILRR), a union watchdog group, traced at least $2 million in donations from multiple union organizations and affiliates.

"U.S. Department of Labor's union financial disclosure reports reveal that Big Labor gave at least $2,034,500 in union general treasury funds to Clinton Foundations. Union treasuries are funded mostly by compulsory union dues or fees collected from workers who would be fired for refusing to pay," the NILRR report says. "As Mrs. Clinton became closer to her current run for president, donations amounts appear to have increased."

The Clintons have turned their foundation into a lucrative "slush fund," according to one charity watchdog group, and have received hundreds of millions of dollars from notable businesses, media personalities, and political luminaries. The family has maintained that none of those donations influenced her decisions as secretary of state and that the money is strictly philanthropic.

However, unions did not necessarily agree about the apolitical nature of the donations, according to NILRR.

"Some of these 'donations' are categorized by the unions as 'political' on their financial disclosure report" to the Labor Department, the report says.

2 million dollars from multiple unions and affiliates ?

that is no more than a drop in the bucket to the union political faction....
why i'd liken it to me dropping a 5 dollar bill in the salvation army kettle....

Well, union bosses have to keep some for themselves you know

you know it......their business model closely resembles
that of our congress and senate... ...ya know what i mean...

Not to mention, that the likelihood that donations to Republicans will cause that party to cease their efforts to destroy all unions, isn't very significant.

Hmmmm, sounds a bit distorted. Do you have a link to that information?

Well we may get to see that 'quid pro quo' info yet as news today that there were apparently multiple 'secret' Hilary email accounts. You gotta believe that somebody somewhere had to keep copies as a source of protection from the Clinton 'klan'.

I'm sure the NSA has hoovered copies of her e-mail traffic out of cyberspace. Now it's just a matter of another Snowden type whistleblower to come forward with the goods.

Time will tell.

Methinks you entirely missed my point.

Good!

Jake Tapper's name wiped from Clinton Foundation website

CNN anchor Jake Tapper’s name pulled a Houdini late Tuesday afternoon, disappearing from the Clinton Foundation’s website without a trace.

As USA Today reports, Tapper’s name was listed on the website until late Tuesday afternoon as a “speaker” for a Clinton Global Initiative event in Denver from June 8-10.

USA Today said that when it asked CNN about why Tapper’s name was on the website, the Clinton Foundation “swiftly removed” it.

Below is a screenshot of the listing.

Per USA Today:

Tapper wouldn’t comment on the record. A CNN spokesperson, who asked not to be named, said Tapper was improperly listed as a speaker on the foundation website; he is scheduled to interview former president Clinton at the event and later moderate a panel discussion. The spokesperson said the network-approved interview will be televised. There will be no restrictions on the questions, and Tapper will not be paid by the foundation. Other details are still being negotiated.

It’s no wonder why Tapper’s name was removed from the website. Just last week, ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos got in trouble for failing to disclose donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling $75,000. Stephanopoulos used to be a top aide for Bill Clinton when he was in the White House, and many decried the failure to disclose the donations as an ethical breach.

Stephanopoulos has since withdrawn from a moderating position at Republican presidential primary debates. CNN is reportedly scheduled to host three three Republican prsidential primary debates.

Tapper’s past reveals a liberal-leaning bias, with a stint writing at the liberal news site Salon between 2000 and 2003 and also a previous job as a spokesperson for a Democratic congresswoman who would later become Chelsea Clinton’s mother-in-law.

However, Tapper has has been revered for his ability to steer clear of partisan politics, and rarely, if ever, has had an issue of projecting bias.

As USA Today reports, conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, who is scheduled to moderate one of CNN’s Republican debates, said that Tapper is “the equal of any journalist at work today when it comes to fairness, intellect, integrity and seriousness. I’d be honored to work with him anytime, anywhere.”
