Full title: Bill Clinton's speaking fees draw new attention as they line up with actions his wife's State Department took between 2009 and 2013

At least two dozen different companies, groups or foreign governments paid former President Bill Clinton hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees at the same time that they had issues pending with the State Department that was being run by his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, alleges a new report this week.

More than $8 million was eventually paid out to the former president - and 15 of the organizations also donated as much as $15 million to the family's charity, The Clinton Foundation, according to the report published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal.

I saw this mentioned on ‘Outnumbered’ on FOX today. Glad it has been uncovered.

Jimmy Carter did the same thing and Clinton copied it. These abused of the American nonprofit corporation laws where both Carter and Clinton have broken the law and dodged taxes should land both Carter and his family and Clinton and his family in JAIL!

The book “Clinton Cash” by Peter Schweizer had disturbing facts about Clinton and how they made money.

Thanks to Albion and Doug for this information and for keeping the ball rolling.

I have a suggestion for a New Year's Resolution-- how about everyone resolving (first of all ) to keep circulating this info every way possible and

...Pick a topic or point of interest, paraphrase to facts to boil them down and write a letter to the editor of your local paper.

I read the dead-tree WSJ. I was delighted to see the piece on the front paged. It follows naturally from a Kimberly Strassell op-ed piece of a month ago. And also from a book I read, Clinton Cash. That is, they all are hung up on the issue of a quid pro quo. Yet, according to
Article 1 Section 9:
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state
I do not see that any quid pro quo is necessary for the “Clinton Cash” to represent a serious, even actionable, scandal. Just getting paid or given, or otherwise put in control of, serious money by a foreign government while on the government payroll is entirely sufficient to make me think that the acceptance of the money was illegitimate. Banning such, “of any kind whatever,” was not written to allow room for money laundering schemes.

I wonder if someone could sue to force Hillary to give the money back?

How is it even possible for decent, honorable people to compete against these corrupt vermin?
One cannot be moral and have access to the stratospheric levels of cash necessary to ...oh never mind the rant.
Happy New Year!
