Here is a source with information about the operation of the Clinton Foundation.
Where Does Clinton Foundation Money Go? --(FactCheck)
Fiorina and others are referring only to the amount donated by the Clinton Foundation to outside charities, ignoring the fact that most of the Clinton Foundations charitable work is performed in-house. One independent philanthropy watchdog did an analysis of Clinton Foundation funding and concluded that about 89 percent of its funding went to charity.
Simply put, despite its name, the Clinton Foundation is not a private foundation which typically acts as a pass-through for private donations to other charitable organizations. Rather, it is a public charity. It conducts most of its charitable activities directly.

Daniel Borochoff, president and founder of CharityWatch, told us by phone that its analysis of the finances of the Clinton Foundation and its affiliates found that about 89 percent of the foundation budget is spent on programming (or charity), higher than the 75 percent considered the industry standard.

It seems like a new media story about the financial entanglements of the Clinton Foundation arrives on a daily basis. And with Hillary Clintons presidential campaign now in full swing, this trend seems unlikely to end in the near future.
The proliferation of reports about the organizations finances makes it increasingly difficult to determine which stories carry real weight and which are better viewed as partisan posturing. I offer three tips for sorting it out.

Says all I need to know about him, and nothing good.
