The $10 million to $25 million the Saudis donated was to the Clinton foundation, a non-profit, from which the Clintons drew no salary. Now I'm open to the idea that any charitable organization that's linked to any politician should be strictly regulated and audited regularly to ensure its following said regulations, but I'm guessing you aren't open to the idea that the Trump Foundation being under the same scrutiny.
Of course I am. All I do is bang on about implementing justice fairly and evenly.
And LOL @ Saudi Arabia being charitable: an insane, oppressive regime that beheads people for being gay and stones rape victims to death just happened to, out of the goodness of their hearts, donate $25 MILLION and it just happened to be to the Clinton Foundation.....wow.... those loving Saudis are so amazing. Donating to the same foundation that misappropriated BILLIONS of dollars that was meant to go to the earthquake-ravaged Haitians yet somehow disappeared. Haiti saw less 5% of the money that was donated. The Clinton Foundation is a criminal pay-for-play enterprise, even their ex-CEO Eric Braverman blew the whistle on them and told reporters to "follow the money".
I don't presume to speak for Escher, but it seems quite clear to me that he was referring to the Clinton Foundation as a charity. It would be odd to describe a sovereign state, or any set of members of a royal family, as a charity; though, a member of the latter may properly be called a philanthropist in the right circumstances (philanthropist=/=a charity, presuming you mean in the organisational sense).
Billions? That's pretty impressive. Haiti earthquake was 2010. A quick google search shows a 2011 report listing the foundation's total revenue at 314 million. That's for everything, not just Haiti.
How do you get billions out of that?
We count and we listen to reporters, or even
Haitian politicians.
What do you count? Which reporters are you listening to? You haven't provided a credible source whatsoever. At about 1:21 the politician says that $14.3 billion was contributed to the Clinton Foundation to help Haiti, at 1:21 he says Haitians received "not even 2% of that money", at 1:36 he says "they were given millions of dollars from that money". It isn't even clear what he is saying, were the Clinton's given millions of dollars out of $14.3 billion, or did he mean that $14.3 billion was donated but Haitian's only received millions? Even if we suppose the politician is credible, and that supposition is not obvious, in less than 20 seconds he seems to be making inconsistent statements. Of course, it is possible that when he said 'millions' at 1:36 he meant thousands of millions (i.e. billions), but that seems rather unlikely. Citing a minute long clip of some politician asserting
prima facie inconsistent claims is hardly something you can expect most to take seriously.
As an aside, the politician in the clip is called Bernard Sansaricq, he ran for US congress in 2012 as a Republican candidate. So, he does have a bit of a vested interest in shitting on democrats. Moreover,
this article says that he went to Trump rallies and alleged that Bill Clinton attempted to bribe him.
I am not saying Mr Sansaricq is a liar, I certainly don't know that - but, it does seem like he may have a vested interest in casting aspersions against the Clinton's. This doesn't mean he is wrong, but some hard data, as opposed to the inconsistent testimony of a man who has a fairly clear conflict of interest, would be much more persuasive. When you say "[w]e count", it seems to me that you are implying that there is hard data which one actually can count, a link to a credible source of said data would be appreciated.
Again, I ask, what are you counting? Where are the figures which show billions, rather than millions, were donated to the Clinton Foundation in order to provide relief from the 2011 earthquake? Where are the figures which show these funds were misappropriated? I am totally agnostic on this issue, but your evidence seems far from conclusive. You seem quite concerned with speaking the "truth", so please, point me to some hard (and credible) data that will lead me there.
