Why do Hillary Clinton & Co. find it so hard to tell the truth about where their millions come from?
The Clinton Foundation just amended four years of tax filings to own up to foreign donations it “forgot” to fully report back when Clinton was serving as secretary of state — after being caught by media investigations.
The revisions cover $20 million in foreign gifts, plus speaking fees for the Clintons.
The foundation came clean just days after Clinton wrapped herself in 9/11 to justify her vast campaign take from the big banks.
At the last debate, Bernie Sanders hit her for raking in millions from financial firms.
Clinton answered: “I represented New York . . . on 9/11 when we were attacked. Where were we attacked? We were attacked in downtown Manhattan, where Wall Street is,” she said. “I did spend a whole lot of time and effort helping them rebuild. That was . . . a way to rebuke the terrorists who had attacked our country.” Except she was raking in that cash long before the terrorists struck.
Way to offend pretty much everyone, Hill.
Of course, the largesse to her campaign, the foundation and her family over the years is all about buying influence.
That’s also why Clinton has lapped the presidential field when it comes to donations from lobbyists, as Marisa Schultz’s exposé in Tuesday’s Post noted.
Clinton’s raked in $3.2 million from registered lobbyists — more than 3½ times the take of the entire Republican pack, according to Federal Election Commission records.
