Fresh Off Clinton Foundation Africa Trip, Jay Jacobs Holds Hillary Clinton Fundraiser

Paid Hillary $260K for speech this year

Hillary Clinton will be in Long Island, N.Y., on Monday for a $2,700 fundraiser hosted by Jay Jacobs, who just returned from traveling to Africa with Bill and Hillary Clinton on a trip with the Clinton Foundation.

Jacobs, a prominent Nassau County Democrat, says he expects around 150 to show up at his Laurel Hollow home and contribute the maximum allowable individual contribution to the Clinton campaign, according to Newsday.

The fundraiser comes just weeks after Jacobs and his wife Mindy Jacobs joined the Clinton Foundation on its trip to Africa and just as the Clintons came under fire for the lack of barrier between their charitable and political donations. A majority of the early fundraisers for Clinton have been hosted by high-dollar donors to the Clinton Foundation.

Following the trip, Jacobs wrote that he plans to increase his financial support for the foundation and said he “would be surprised if virtually everyone else on that trip wouldn’t be doing the same.”

WEEKLY STANDARD--Clinton Foundation Morocco meeting cost taxpayers $21K (billionaires met in lavish secrecy) The Clinton's buck-raking Foundation entourage gathered at a five-star luxury hotel in Morocco hosted by one of the world's most controversial mining companies.... criticized for 'serious human rights violations' by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice."

As is the case with every trip the globe-hopping ex-president takes, the US taxpayer is on the hook for security expenses. In Morocco, hotel costs alone for Secret Service came to $21,165. Other taxpayer expenses WRT the Morocco trip could not be located on the government spending website, but vehicle expenses likely ran into the thousands of dollars.

THE WEEKLY STANDARD reported earlier that the Clintons Christmas/New Years vacation in the Dominican Republic cost the taxpayers over $104,000 in hotel costs alone for the Secret Service. Three contracts discovered after that article was published show that vehicles for the Secret Service for the Clintons' Dominican vacation cost almost $20,000.

CLINTON FOUNDATION MOTTO:
DOING GOOD AND MAKING A BUCK ON IT.
A Charity of white privilege peddling "elitism" as "do-goodism."
