WH rejects House Judiciary's invitation to participate in impeachment hearings

[Conservative]

People from all political persuasions support impeachment. Even Republicans.

It's the head-in-sands that are exclusive to Trump's base. They don't have any other members. Head-in-sand is the endemic perspective.

You live in a dream world and not the real world, the support for Impeachment continues to decline and only radicals like you believe what you want to believe and never admit when wrong

That wasn't so hard, was it? We know how many Soros NGOs operate in Haiti. Also, your original point was Soros was evil or something and mismanaged money. The truth is he gave his own money for others to manage.

He made his money by corrupt means, which is why he is a convicted felon. He set up NGOs to take donations from governments, businesses, and private individuals. He then donated that dirty money to leftist and democrat causes.

This doesn't have anything to do with Soros. Your original point was Soros is a bad person and mismanaged money. The truth is he gave money for others to manage.

He collected money from all sorts of sources. He also made and lost money through normal business ventures. And he hired managers to collect and spend money the way he told them to. He was a big donor to leftist radical socialist anti-American causes worldwide.

There isn't any news of this so I don't know how you'd know about how FOKAL managed its money. Your original point was Soros did bad things and mismanaged money. The truth is Soros gave his own money to FOKAL for FOKAL to handle.

FOKAL also received donations from governments, organizations and people from around the world for rebuilding Haiti after the earthquake.

I think you should tell us where you got this information.

Google.

Your original claim was that Soros mismanaged billions of dollars in Haiti. This was false as you just now admitted.

I was wrong to say Soros owned IHRC. I would have been closer to the truth if I had said Soros owns Bill Clinton and Bill Clinton made all the decisions for IHRC, locking the Haitians out of the process of distributing funds.

Possibly you did actually post the link to the original source of your comments. If so, I can't find it and it appears that he can't either (since you don't say where or when you posted it).

Maybe you would be so courteous as to either re-post it, or to send it to me as a PM?

I cannot find the source he was talking about.

I'll just deal with one "minor" point here.

You say that " The money that was collected was reported to be over 14 billion dollars. The money that actually made it into Haiti relief was less than a billion dollars.".

In reality, that 14 billion was only "allocated" and most of it has not been (and will likely never be) "collected". Also, the fact that money is spent in "Country A" to purchase goods to ship to "Country B" for disaster relief means that that money will NEVER "actually (make) its way" to "Country B".

I don't know whether your source is accurate or mine is. I think most NGOs, foundations and charitable organizations, as well as contractors and government workers were pretty tight-lipped about how much money they were actually receiving and spending. I have no record of how much money FOKAL received or spent, but we do know Michele Pierre-Louis was in charge of FOKAL's reconstruction efforts in Haiti after the earthquake.

"Hundreds, maybe thousands of NGOs poured into the country after the Jan. 12 earthquake...

Haitian officials speak of being "overrun" by "an invasion" of NGOs. …

Many Haitians routinely say their misery is exploited by NGOs to raise funds rather than raise them up from poverty. …

The 12 Haitian members of the IHRC sent its Chairman Bill Clinton a letter in December protesting that they were "completely disconnected" from the decision-making process that helps shape how more than $4 billion in recovery is spent."
