Maybe Haiti became a thriving first-world nation overnight?

I also heard that people stopped donating because of Donald Trump.

The Clinton Global Initiative was not truly a charitable organization. Hmmm. Where do I begin?

They screwed the people of Haiti and countries stopped donating because she didn't become president and can't give them favors.

GCI was a bribery/extortion racket designed to shake down foreign leaders/ Multi-National Corporations as a prelude to HRC becoming President.

The fact that the money dried up so quickly since she lost speaks monumentally to the fact that this was a way to buy the fed gov.

If it was truely about helping the less fortunate, the operation would continue unchanged.

Haha.

CGI shutting down after Hillary loses is too funny and too transparent.

Do you think CGI relied on the political influence of Hillary in either the SoS position or the office of the presidency? (That's a rhetorical question...you don't have to answer.)

Clinton no longer had any influence to sell.

Wouldn't surprise me though, and neither would their genuine consternation and befuddlement over why it happened. They probably think that the donations dried up because of bad publicity from the election.

No influence left to sell. No favors to exchange for high 6-figure speeches. No uranium rights or pardons to offer to the highest bidder.

In other words, even the potential reason for its existence is gone (other than to provide the certified friends of Bill and Hillary with nice, 6-figure no show jobs.)

I believe they shut it down, so that they can get a pardon. If it's a pay to play operation, they need to shut it down before the current President's ability to pardon them expires.

In other words, the gig is up...
