"The State Department has not and does not intend to initiate a formal review or to make a retroactive judgment about items that were not submitted during Secretary Clinton's tenure," Rathke told reporters.
The charities never told the State Department about the new and increased donations. In two instances, the charities said this was the result of "oversights"; for the other six, they said those donations were exceptions to the agreement for various reasons.
The charities also stopped publishing full donor lists from 2010 onwards; the annually updated list omitted donors to the foundation's flagship health initiative.
Rathke, the State Department spokesman, said the department was not aware of donations having an undue influence on U.S. foreign policy. When reporters asked how the department could know this without reviewing the belated disclosures, he declined to comment further.

Any Republcian anywhere would be laughed off the stage, indicted and thrown out of the political arena for even half of what the Clintons have done.

code: We looked the other way, because - D.
I wonder if Rathke has a bit more money in the bank these days?
Not aware and I don't remember.
It's so easy to be a criminal under the Clinton umbrella.
I made a huge mistake.
"Harvest Home" by Big Country, off their first album, has long been a sentimental favorite of mine. Too much studio ornamentation gets in the way of a song with great bones, I've long believed, but still you can't beat the catchy, martial rhythm of it and the quasi-biblical, accusatory insistence of its message takes it to a whole other place.
Then yesterday on a whim I went to YouTube and watched it performed live from way back when. Ugh! Those guys sucked.
The front man guy obviously can't sing and play guitar at the same time. And what's with all the fay prancing about? Yeah, I know, those Yamaha solid bodies weighed a fucking ton. Yeah? So don't try to skip around on stage like a bunch of little girls, you homos!
Thank God for studio technology, after all.
I heard one guy, Mike Kelly ?, opine that NFL made Tom Brady and the Patriot equipment guys give up more info than the govt has gotten from Hillary.
If the media stop covering for the cltinons, they collapse.
They got the equipment guys texts.
Hillary wiped her server. And who knows where the blackberry is.
And the IRS won't investigate a "charitable" foundation that only gives 12% of its income to actual charity. I'm stunned and amazed, surprised and outraged. I gotta lie down. Fetch the smelling salts and wave a palm frond around because I suspect someone, or something, is farting in our general direction. But who could it be? And Why? Layers and layers of mystery! It's all purely circumstantial and coincidental and highly highly complex. Don't worry, I'm sure there's a completely illogical explanation for totally unexpected cheating and lying in government that will be accepted at face value so we can all move on to important topics like totally unexpected cheating and lying in sports
Oh but queen corrutpocrat is going to fix Citizens United... right after she culls a billion dollars from corporations and foreign entities to win.
Yes, because half the people there would be doing the perp walk.

Any relation to Wade and Dale?
So Brady is suspended over a football - and the clitnons are still standing on the public stage, no shame no indictment, nothing.
