has the Clinton Foundation at 86.9% for 'program expenses'.
"Program expenses" can include a lot of different things and they can be easily manipulated. For example, giving $10mil to another charity is a program expense. What that charity does with it doesn't reflect on CF, because if they blow it on hookers and cocaine it's on them.
Here is how the CF spent its money in 2014:

$143 million, or 57% of their program expenses, went to the Clinton Health Access Initiative. WTH is that, anyway, you might ask? Well, it's a separate charity focusing on international relief, with
a separate Board of Directors (although many of the same people), and a separate financial disclosure.
Even Mother Jones questions it, and I don't know as you get a more liberal source than that.
Travel and per diem are factored into "program expenses". So if Willie Jeff, as a board member, takes a private plane to Paris once a month for "meetings" and has in-flight catering and dancing girls at his service, that would be a "program expense". There is no real oversight because their oversight is....themselves.
The reason the Clintons don't get flat out busted in their shenanigans is because they are masters of convolution and obfuscation. They do nothing in a straightforward manner; everything is twisted up and intertwined so intricately that it's almost impossible to untangle it and get an accurate accounting. It takes forever to get to the bottom of any suggestion of impropriety, and the American people lose interest long before any investigation can be concluded. Then it just quietly goes away, like it never even happened.
Bill is and always has been Mr. Plausible Deniability. Layer upon layer upon layer of protection. Yeah, just like the Mafia. Nobody ever accused these people of being stupid.
