Hillary once again caught in a serious impropriety:
“Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former president Bill Clinton have operated a family charity since 2001, but she failed to list it on annual Senate financial disclosure reports on five occasions.
The Ethics in Government Act requires members of Congress to disclose positions they hold with any outside entity, including nonprofit foundations. Hillary Clinton has served her family foundation as treasurer and secretary since it was established in December 2001, but none of her ethics reports since then have disclosed that fact.
The foundation has enabled the Clintons to write off more than $5 million from their taxable personal income since 2001, while dispensing $1.25 million in charitable contributions over that period.
Clinton’s spokesman said her failure to report the existence of the family foundation and the senator’s position as an officer was an oversight. Her office immediately amended her Senate ethics reports to add that information late yesterday after receiving inquiries from The Washington Post.
“The details of the Clintons’ charitable family foundation and Senator Clinton’s role in it have always been publicly available, but, in an oversight that leaders of both parties have made, it was inadvertently omitted from her Senate filing, which has been corrected,” Hillary Clinton’s press secretary, Philippe Reines, said yesterday.”
An “oversight”, five years in a row? Sorry Hillary, not buying it. This is all too familiar a trend what with Dingy Harry and his happy land deals which also involved serious ethics filing laspes, he like Clinton only filed corrections AFTER they got caught.
I would say that the ethics committee might want to have a further look, if not the IRS.
