Another Hillary Clinton Lie -- This Time On Weinstein

If you read the mainstream media, you would think that yesterday Hillary Clinton said she would donate the funds she got from Harvey Weinstein to charity.  That would just be another of Hillary's lies that the media repeated without ever bothering to notice it was obviously false.

Here's what Hillary said:  "What other people are saying, what my former colleagues are saying, is they're going to donate it to charity, and of course I will do that.  I give 10% of my income to charity every year, this will be part of that. There's no -- there's no doubt about it."

So think about that for a moment.  Hillary gives 10% of her income to charity every year.  This year, she's going to consider the Weinstein money as part of that 10%.  Will she give even two cents more than she otherwise would have given?  The answer is NO.  Consider this example.  Let's assume Hillary's income in 2017 is ten million dollars.  Before the Weinstein statement she was giving ten percent to charity.  That's one million dollars.  After the Weinstein statement, she is giving ten percent to charity, but she's going to consider the Weinstein money "part of that".  That's one million dollars.  In other words, Hillary is NOT giving the Weinstein money to charity.  She's just doing what she always intended to do and also making a phony statement.

And while we're at it, let's examine Hillary's claim that she gives ten percent to charity.  In 2015 and 2014, the Clintons had income in excess of forty million dollars.  Except for ten thousand dollars that went to churches, they gave "charity" only to the Clinton Foundation.  Of course, the Clinton Foundation paid for things like all of Bill and Hillary's travel, the salaries of Hillary's staff, Chelsea's wedding and other things that should have been paid for by the Clintons themselves.  It was far from charity.  The Clintons give next to nothing to real charities.
