The Pew Charitable Trusts and the related Glenmede Trust Co are big business at the core of TPTB. They employ dozens and dozens of self-respecting, intelligent, accomplished, publicity-shy people. Some must be good guys and some of those must be trustees, officers and senior employees who are fiduciaries and legally accountable to ask and know the answers to questions we would ask if we could. How can we motivate them to do just that?
Three such questions would concern Tamera Luzzatto's famous email [https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/46736] gathering DC insiders at the family farm in the fall of 2015. First question: "Tamera, what exactly did you mean when you offered your step-grandchildren ages 7, 9 and 11 for the "further entertainment" of grownups in your heated swimming pool?" Second, "Wasn't that a work-related email that you sent from your official Pew email address at 9:26 on a working Thursday morning?" And third, "Did the Trusts pay or remiburse the costs of the event?"
Note that The Pew Charitable Trusts is a public charity, exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. See Pew's IRS Form 990 for the fiscal year ended 6/30/14, the latest available, at [https://pp-990.s3.amazonaws.com/2015_05_EO/56-2307147_990_201406.pdf?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAI7C6X5GT42DHYZIA%2F20170411%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20170411T221503Z&X-Amz-Expires=1800&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=8160d78c32223a02a8dfcfe4de7d330590b165f6c037915cb81c7ba6d7cb2edd].
As a public charity, The Trusts can and does spend and receive many millions of dollars every year lobbying and pitching policy and giving and getting government grants, all under the direction of Senior Vice President for government relations Tamera Luzzatto. No amateur, she is among the most influential and connected people anywhere, with a Muckety Score of 89 [http://www.muckety.com/Tamera-Luzzatto/8720.muckety] that compares to Tiger Woods at 90 and is not all that far below both John Podesta and Donald Trump at 99. According to Part VII of that same Form 990, she earned about $300K for fiscal 2013.
I'd wager that Pew, like most substantial organizations, pays or reimburses the entertainment and similar expenses that its senior officers incur in connection with their work. Like those, say, for gathering and entertaining influential folks at the family farm. If so, LUZZATTO'S POOL PARTIES AND KIDDIE ENTERTAINMENTS ARE FINANCED BY U.S. TAXPAYERS to the extent that The Trusts' donors deduct their contributions to reduce otherwise taxable income.
Recalling that Al Capone fell for tax violations established by a paper trail, don't underestimate the potential benefit of adding IRS to the roster of authorities that could investigate what can reasonably be suspected to be immoral and possibly criminal use of tax-favored funds and tax-exempt status. That would not be lost on the trustees, managers and senior employees of the Trusts and Glenmede who are accountable (and vulnerable) for misuse and misreporting of funds under their supervision.
As per that same Form 990, eight of the the Trusts' trustees are still named Pew. And the Pews still appear to control Glenmede Trust Co, which is the sole trustee of the private Pew family trusts of which The Pew Charitable Trusts is the sole beneficiary. Glenmede is responsible for about $5 billion of Pew family assets and many billions more of assets owned by others who might also want to learn the answers to these questions or know why they haven't been asked. . .
Please share any thoughts of how we might develop and make use of these observations. Does anyone know Judicial Watch?

Alex Jones red pilled me on this one. All the Clinton people at the event were gonna rape the little children in the pool. Alex Jones is famous and has a gravely voice so he can't be full of shit.
