yes he is, or if you check his W2 he is being paid to stand up for her here. Nothing else makes any sense whatsoever.

6% of the Clinton money went to charity

The money was given to the Clinton Foundation, not the Clintons. The Clinton Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and it's books are open to public scrutiny. Have you examined their books? If so, what line item benefited the Clintons financially?

A wrong reading
Priebus’ case is built on the notion that the only charitable work the Clinton Foundation does is in grant-making and, by extension, everything else is overhead.
We’ll use the Clinton Foundation’s most recent IRS tax form, for 2014, as an example. (It starts on Page 28 of this document.) The foundation reported total expenses in 2014 of a little over $91 million but grants of just $5.1 million. That’s close to 6 percent of the foundation’s money being spent on grants.
Over a five-year period from 2009-12, the foundation raised over $500 million, the conservative website The Federalist reported, but only 15 percent of that, or $75 million, went toward grants.
But that doesn’t mean everything else is overhead, people who monitor charities and their practices say.
"Although it has ‘foundation’ in its name, the Clinton Foundation is actually a public charity," Brian Mittendorf, a professor of accounting at Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business, wrote in the Chronicle of Philanthropy. "In practical terms, this means both that it relies heavily on donations from the public and that it achieves its mission primarily by using those donations to conduct direct charitable activities, as opposed to providing grants from an endowment.
"Failure to understand the difference led to the widespread claim (covered by the New York Post, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and others) that only a small portion of Clinton Foundation spending goes toward charity. While measuring charitable endeavors by the amount of grants awarded may be appropriate for many private foundations, it is not for an organization that acts as a direct service provider like the Clinton Foundation."

Well I'm sure that the 94% is going to legitimate expenses.
After all, John Koskinen and the IRS would be all over them otherwise.
I mean, everybody knows Koskinen is a watchdog for all of the people....

If she is selling herself, she better be half price for being at least "day old."

Can you dispute the facts?
Your opinion of FOX news is only relevant to you.
