The Clintons Continue To Clinton
Townhall.com ^ | August 30, 2015 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 08/30/2015 7:17:46 AM PDT by Kaslin

What a mess. Every week, seemingly every other day, there is a new shady revelation about Bill and Hillary Clinton that manages to top the last one. For them there seems to be no bottom; for their supporters, there seems to be no self-respect.

The hundreds of millions of dollars from corrupt governments, billionaires with agendas and God knows who else. The server wiped so thoroughly – and no, not with a cloth – you can tell someone learned the importance of cleanliness from the blue dress. And now we learn Bill, the former president, with more money than he possibly could spend in his lifetime, sought approval to take even more from some of the worst human garbage ever to walk upright. (More on this later.)

It’s enough to make the sane wonder what the hell is wrong with these people.

But Clinton lovers are not sane. They are not rational. Hillary could give a press conference and explicitly call her supporters the dumbest people on the planet while Bill stood behind her throwing puppies and kittens into a wood-chipper, and she’d still have a base of support.

A new Quinnipiac Poll found the top three words Americans associated with her were: 1. Liar; 2. Dishonest; 3. Untrustworthy. The first positive word people associated with her was “experience,” which was given by less than half the number of respondents who answered “liar.”

That is awful, yet she is the best the Democratic Party has to offer.

As “the best,” Hillary Clinton is now so weak that Joe Biden – JOE FREAKING BIDEN – is now seriously considered a possible savior for the party’s chances.

It’s because the Clintons are known by those three words – dishonest, untrustworthy liars.

How else to explain Bill Clinton, a former president and even then a potential future first husband, asking for (and not getting) State Department permission to deliver a paid speech in the Democratic Republic of the Congo?

Women are terrorized in the Congo, routinely raped and worse. Why on Earth would anyone, let alone a former president, wish to speak there and, as part of the package, have a photo-op with the country’s leaders?

Bill was offered $650,000 for the speech. That much money could easily corrupt any number of people, but someone whose wife is planning to run for president? Someone whose wife is the secretary of state? Someone who has earned tens of millions of dollars and whose foundation has hundreds of millions of dollars in assets?

As if the Congo idea wasn’t bad enough, Bill Clinton also sought permission to give a paid speech in North Korea.

North Korea – the nation Bill Clinton cut a deal with as president, the nation he agreed to give nearly everything needed to build a nuclear bomb in exchange for the promise it wouldn’t build a bomb; then, surprise, it did – is one of the most isolated and oppressive nations in history. Its population starves while its leaders grow fat and live like kings. This government wanted to pay Bill Clinton to speak. Worse, Bill Clinton wanted to take the money.

Even more bizarre is the fact the Clinton-North Korea speech was facilitated by Tony Rodham, Hillary’s brother.

We’re still waiting for someone to ask Hillary how her brother came to be the intermediary for North Korea in this and be in position to offer her husband untold piles of money for a speech.

The answer, of course, is this is Tony Rodham’s life. He is a satellite around his sister and brother-and-law – always there, always close, but not too close. Like so many in the Clinton circle, these people pop up when you least expect them, where they’re least qualified, often times buried in money, but far enough away for plausible deniability.

The documents released this week exposing Bill’s failed despotic money grab were discovered not by dogged journalists conducting extensive investigations of a top presidential contender but thanks to public records requests from Citizens United.

If we had an honest media, we’d see reporters trying to advance this story with some pointed questions. Of course, if we had an honest media, it wouldn’t have required a conservative non-profit to discover the Congo and North Korean outreach or the former president’s willingness to cash those checks.

Come to think of it, the words Americans most associate with Hillary Clinton are words people associate with the media, so “birds of a feather” and all that.

These are the same antics that got Obama elected twice. The presidency is a circus for the electorate. Candidates are elected based on the likelihood of catastrophe.

Shrillary Clinton utterly revolts me. I'm normally tolerant of those with different opinions than myself but when I hear somebody proclaim they are a Hillary Clinton supporter, I want nothing to do with them from that point on for they are the very definition of a "low information" voter who through their votes are playing an active role in destroying our nation.

My MIL is an ardent Hillary supporter. She thinks she is great and will immediately shut people down if anybody dares disagree with her or brings up one of Hillary's many crimes and faults. I cannot believe I married her daughter (who by the way is a conservative like myself). It is hard for me to even look at her after she said that.

Other people I know also have the same MIL issues. I'm thinking Shrillary might have the MIL vote pretty much sewn up, I'm afraid.

Many criminals never stop until they are incarcerated or eliminated. America’s greatest crime family proceeds - their sycophants, co-conspirators, relatives, admirers and wannabes leaving trails and tales of destruction throughout the republic.

The conniving Clintons are beholden to a lot of people expecting big payoffs w/ Hillary's presidential pen:

<><> Clinton Foundation donors,

<><>groups bribing the Clintons w/ humongous honoraria,

<><> those who bribed Bill w/ multi-million dollar consultancies.....

<><> and all the insider business deals

<><> faithful Clinton insiders working the con for 2016 Hillary.

================================================

CLINTON CASH AUTHOR PETER SCHWEIZER OBSERVES:
Deleted Hillary Emails Probably Relate to shady ‘Clinton Cash’ Transactions:

At first glance, the Clinton’s astounding honoraria and humongous Foundation donations seem to provide the bulk of the couple’s income.

Bill's honoraria increased dramatically---earning some $50 million during Hillary's four-year term as secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.

The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day!

I firmly believe the Clinton Foundation's gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealth----and the way they make billions sub rosa---intertwining their vaunted "charity" work and public office.

The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities......though little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillary’s non-speech business interests.

Recent reports indicate the Clintons were party to multi-billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...oil deals....telecom businesses, financial powerhouses like Teneo, Goldman Sachs.....etc etc etc.

THE CON ARTIST CLINTONS GRABBED EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN---Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ the Foundation's "do-good" activities....enabled by Hillary's catbird seat at the State Dept.

At last count the Clintons apparently raised $2billion from their foundation activities and their political campaigns.....

.....does not include monies flowing in from the various lucrative business ventures, interest accrued, safe deposit boxes, real estate assets, passive income on which they pay no taxes, income from Chelsea's hubby's hedge fund, monies invested in Goldman Sachs, interest in financial powerhouse Teneo..... etc etc etc.......

They are worth a bundle.....accumulated in record time.

====================================================

Legal action might involve (1) an FBI investigation, and, (2) the US DOJ---both in the grip of Obama so political hijinks loom. (3) a congressional committee, with subpoena power.

Here's a fourth option: a six-month investigation: indicated the Clintons diverted tens millions of dollars that they solicited for specific Foundation charitable purposes (that were found to have been diverted to the personal enrichment of themselves and their close associates).

THIS IS CONSIDERED MAIL FRAUD Raising money for a specific cause that was diverted elsewhere is considered mail fraud.

If the FBI, DOJ and IRS won't shape up to nab the conniving Clintons, the US Postal Inspector has been known to lock-up many crooks for using similar scams.

A CUT OF THE FEDERAL ACTION FOR THE CLINTONS--LYING- IN -WAIT TO CASH IN Do-Gooder candidate Hillary unloaded a $350 billion higher ed proposal on the backs of struggling taxpayers that she says would help pay for college and reduce student loan interest rates.

Now, taxpayers, let us count the ways the avaricious Clintons will cash in on Hillary's $350 billion plan.

EXHIBIT ONE--BILL CLINTON BAGGED $16 MILLION FROM EDUCATION COMPANY THAT RECEIVED MILLIONS FROM HILLARY’S STATE DEPT.
Breibart ^ | August 5, 2015 | Peter Schweitzer / FR Posted by lbryce

Newly released financial disclosures reveal Bill Clinton received $16.46 million in payments from a George Soros-backed for- profit education company, as Hillary Clinton’s State Department funneled tens of millions of dollars to a group run by the company’s chairman.

With $4 billion in annual revenue, Laureate Education is America’s largest for-profit college company. From 2010 until just days before the 2015 release of the blockbuster expose, Clinton Cash, Bill Clinton served as Laureate’s “honorary chancellor.” Bill abruptly resigned when the Clinton-Laureate connection was exposed in the book "Clinton Cash."

Laureate’s chairman and longtime Clinton crony, Douglas Becker, is also the chairman of a nonprofit sister organization...the International Youth Foundation (IYF) w/ offices close by Laureate’s in "peaceful, thriving" Baltimore.

NOTE WELL Shortly after Laureate made Bill Clinton its honorary chancellor in April 2010, Hillary Clinton made Laureate part of her State Department Global Partnership. IYF received USAID funds before Hillary’s tenure at the State Dept. But the tax dollar grants the education group received exploded after Bill Clinton was put on the Laureate payroll. (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

EXHIBIT TWO--One Bloomberg report showed how tax dollars moved from the State Department to an education entity and back into the Clintons' pockets.

<><> in 2009, the year before Bill Clinton joined Laureate, the nonprofit received 11 grants worth $9 million from the State Department or the affiliated USAID.

<><> In 2010, the group received 14 grants worth $15.1 million.

<><> In 2011, 13 grants added up to $14.6 million.

<><> The following year, those numbers jumped: IYF received 21 grants worth $25.5 million, including a direct grant from the State Department.

Laureate has declined to say how much it has paid ex-president Clinton. Hillary Clinton’s financial disclosure forms in 2012 revealed only that her husband received nonemployee compensation of more than $1,000 from the company that year. The Clinton Foundation’s donor disclosures showed that Laureate cumulatively gave between $1 million and $5 million through 2014.

===================================================

In his blockbuster expose, Peter Schweizer noted that during the period his wife was secretary of state from 2009-2013, Bill Clinton spoke at Laureate campuses in Honduras, Mexico City, Germany, Spain, Turkey, Malaysia, Brazil, Peru, and the United States....netting him millions.

Schweizer famously dubbed the Clinton patented MO of do-good government service intertwined w/ private remuneration the “Clinton blur.”

Women are terrorized in the Congo, routinely raped and worse. Why on Earth would anyone, let alone a former president, wish to speak there and, as part of the package, have a photo-op with the country’s leaders?

*******************************************************************

The answer to the question lies within the question itself:

“Women are terrorized in the Congo, routinely raped and worse.”

If F.R. ever conducted a similar poll about what word comes to mind for Graybeard58 and those were the answers given, I’d hang my head in shame, sign out and never appear on these pages again. Yet, here’s Hillary, branded a liar and rightfully so, by an entire country and she goes on about her business with nary a blink. It takes a very “special” type of person to be able to do that, utterly shameless - Hillary, to a tee.

In reading all of the emails Citizens United had to SUE the State Department for (remember who was Sec State?) it is worthy to note HOW the two “speeches” (money nets) came to be “offered”.

Start with Tony Rodham (who is remarkably incompetent in both background and ethics: “He attended Iowa Wesleyan College and the University of Arkansas, although he never received a degree from either school” this from wikipedia. He moved into a condo with brother Hugh Rodham in.. Miami, where he was a process server and private detective- nice). The wikipedia history this clown is too lengthy for here. See: Tony Rodham on wikipedia. Suffice to say that his “ventures” include working for GreenTechAutomotive— Terry McAulliffe’s (current gov of VA and Clinton lying bagman) green energy obamaumao subsidy company that never produced one automobile and took all the money for redistro to the DNC.

The Clintons are full time grifters and thieves. Without any redeeming social value whatsoever. When you add in the Epstein child porno/Bill Clinton and the ooooma Abedin/muslim brotherhood/dyke girlfriend of hitlery— the story is complete. They are a criminal conspiracy, and virtually everyone in this email trail is part of the Clinton machine for the “foundation”— a joke.

But also note— the contact went Tony Rodham-—to Christopher “Kip”Forbes of Forbes magazine to the new Francophone Forbes magazine subsidiary venture Forbes Afrique and it’s president— the head of a Canadian/Brazzaville Congo joint venture company mining... gold and blood diamonds. The sponsor company for the speaking engagement— is the said mining company— “hosting” the launching of a Francophone magazine in Africa.

The fact that Billy boy, or hitlery as SecState, could not ethically see how wrong this was, and that billy boy thought it might be OK for the fake-ass Clintoon Foundation and massage parlor— is testimony enough. Note Cheryl Mills and ooooma Abedin are subject of the FBI email investigation. Mills the “lawyer” clean up maid of the blue dress with “stains” fame.

This is why, btw, that Citizens United is continuing to be under attack by the leftie graft machine that wants hitlery to take up a new role as prez and chief money funnel. And also why, her classified emails are being “sanitized” by the FBI (under you know who’s directions) to clean them of any african or other marxist interactions. Unbelievable the BS.

Correction on the Tony Rodham connex. Tony tried to set up the North Korean speeche. But the context of that remains, just with more mystery as to whom it was the go-between for the N Korean speech. My money is on McAulliffe, or better yet with the nose candy, basketball has been Dennis Rodham. That fits.

Here is the link to the Forbes Afrique speakers, who have spoken or will in Africa... to “lead the digital revolution” that will “drive progress and growth in Africa”... ie. as long as Mugabe, Kabila and many other Marxists criminal tribal dictators get a cut.

Why would one need a “digital revolution” to mine gold ore and blood diamonds. One only needs corrupt politicians and the slave miners. This is the same old game— in the same old place.. The “Belgian” (French) Congo. Brazzaville, good Lord.
