November 2, 20169 yr Author WikiLeaks - The Podesta Emails The Clinton Foundation Relationship Since becoming a separate legal entity from the Clinton Foundation in 2010, CHAI has proven to be successful operating autonomously. Despite this, we see increasing evidence that the Clinton Foundation plans to exert more control over CHAI. We fear that there is an agenda to ultimately fold CHAI Into the Clinton Foundation. Recent communications that talk about the Clinton Foundation as the controlling entity of CHAI would imply a possible consolidation. We are very concerned with the current conflict of interest among Clinton Foundation appointees to the CHAI board, where we see evidence that their allegiance to the Clinton Foundation takes precedence over their fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of CHAI. CHAI is more than twice the size of the Clinton Foundation. CHAI has no material financial relationship with the Clinton Foundation today. Yet the Clinton Foundation consolidates CHAI financials into its own financial report reinforcing the impression that we are all one organization. A recent proposed Board Resolution to force CHAI to use the Clinton Foundation auditor heightens the real and perceived conflict of interest. Further, the line between CHAI and the Clinton Foundation is often blurred by the Foundation, creating ambiguity about our independence as an organization that is separately funded. CHAI is often portrayed by the Clinton Foundation as an initiative of the Foundation. The Clinton Foundation uses CHAI accomplishments in its publicity and fundraising events even though CHAI does not receive funds from these efforts. One example includes the Clinton Foundation Annual Trip, which Is coordinated by Clinton Foundation personnel and includes stops to visit CHAI sites and CHAI programmatic work, which is publicized and promoted for Clinton Foundation fund raising purposes. We are very concerned about cases where we meet Clinton Foundation donors who believe that they have given money to support CHAI's work because because they have donated to the Clinton Foundation, when in reality CHAI does not receive the funds.

November 2, 20169 yr Truth? Transparency? To see what HRC really is? Well I thought the first two were strange things to post as one is a joke turning the phrase "everyday Americans" into a pun and the second was a campaign worker urging people to flag contributions from certain Turkish donors as possibly being connected to the Erdogan regime. Almost things one would point out as positive or humanizing to the Clinton campaign. The information about how the Clinton Foundation works is always troublesome. For every bit of good work they do, it's also served to make Bill Clinton very wealthy. Charitable foundations are always interesting and shady entities from a pure philanthropy perspective.
