In most cases, news that a major presidential candidate’s family charity doled out millions to a for-profit company controlled by the candidate’s longtime friends would be raising lots of eyebrows. But this is Bill and Hillary we’re talking about. So it’s just the latest in a long list of disclosures about the slush fund that operates publicly as the Clinton Foundation. The foundation is deeply intertwined with the massive wealth they’ve accumulated in the past 15 years — even as its donors have themselves reaped enormous benefits. The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that the foundation in 2010 committed $2 billion to Energy Pioneer Solutions, despite IRS rules that say a charity is not “supposed to act in anyone’s private interests.” The ex-president even personally arranged a US Energy Department grant to the company. Among the firm’s owners are several longtime Clinton friends — including a wealthy blond divorcée from Chappaqua whose relationship with Bill has long been the subject of speculation. The Journal reports that the foundation even removed the fiscal link from its Web site to avoid calling attention to Bill’s “friendship.” So we’re back to that again. Smirking aside, though, the Clinton Foundation has been embroiled in one financial scandal after another. Last fall, it had to amend four years of tax filings to come clean about $20 million in foreign donations it received while Hillary served as secretary of state. Of course, the Clintons and dubious dealings go shamelessly hand in hand. Always have, always will. Which is just one more reason to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House.

The simple testament to the Clinton Legacy is that they wrote off donating used underwear in their taxes. There is nothing else that can be said of them.
“in 2010 committed $2 billion to “
Million. Come on!
$2 Billion.
Wasn’t it $2 MILLION ?
I suspect nothing less from the CCF.
Post #4 >> $2 Billion.

Yes, “but at this point, what difference does it make?!”
Ha!
Right, Malala. What doesn't cause a Moslem to become a terrorist?
There are only two things that can stop a Moslem from becoming a terrorist:
1-Jesus Christ
2-A bullet

The greatest crime couple in the history of the republic.
Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.
It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt
7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands…

Read it and weep...
I love how only The Post mentions that Julie Tauber Mcmahon is Bill’s “Energizer”. Every one else reporting this story refers to her as a neighbor of the Clinton’s. I doubt Hillary has even met her.
“There are only two things that can stop a Moslem from becoming a terrorist:
1-Jesus Christ
2-A bullet”
That would make a great bumper sticker.
“I doubt Hillary has even met her”
I don’t, She’s probably one of the beasts ex.
Definitely more Bill’s type.
Many criminals never stop until incarcerated or eliminated. Hillaryous Rotten Criminal & William Jefferson Criminal, the greatest crime couple in the history of the republic.
How come I never hear about the wonderful humanitarian deeds done by this Foundation? I never see ads seeking donations, not even in the liberal rags. How come they don’t do fundraising from common folks? Where are the TV ads asking for money to feed the starving kids with flies on them?

Being a Clinton sure does beat having to work for a living. Just ask Chelsea.
Citizens working the coal mines of West Virginia will find this interesting... New York Times Jerks won't give a damn...
