96 Percent Of Hillary’s Charitable Donations In 2015 Went To Clinton Foundation
Daily Caller ^ | 8/12/2016

Posted on 08/12/2016 12:17:33 PM PDT by Gamecock

Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill deducted $1,042,000 in charitable contributions last year — $1 million of which went to their own family non-profit, the Clinton Foundation.

Clinton released her tax forms on Friday in a move that is seen as a way to pressure Donald Trump to release his taxes. The GOP nominee has refused to release the records, saying that he is under a routine audit.

Since the Clinton Foundation has such high Overhead, only $100,000 of the $1,000,000 she “donated” (cough, cough) will actually go to People in need.

Of course the term “people in need” means something different as far as the Clinton Foundation is concerned.

Actually, when you think about it, they gave the Foundation $1M and Chelsea get a $950K salary from the Foundation. So essentially, they got a deduction for their daughters salary, plus the Foundation got a deduction for the salary too.

OMG. Just wow.

Well, as they say, you have to have money to make money. *rolls eyes*

I hope Trump, Christie, and Guiliani take on this criminal enterprise.

Breaking news: pro wrestling is fake.

If some African country paid her $30 to be in favor of female genital mutilation she would turn it down. And give a forceful speech about how it was wrong.

Offer her $300,000. She might take it. She is a prostitute. We are just arguing over price.

Is she still donating Bill’s used underwear and taking a deduction for it?

Classic! You reminded me, I have Barbara Olsen's book "Hell to Pay" on my shelf. Now would be a good time to re-read it.

I have not heard one story about the Clintons being personally charitable to a person in true need. However, I have always heard stories about Trump, long before he announced his candidacy, doing nice things.

ROFL!

What do those useful idiots expect?

And of course many Sandars supporters will pretend to just shrug it off like the sheep they are: “Baaaa-a-a-ah!”

Al Gore also contributed to his own charities too. But he’s a saint compared to the Clintons.

Remember the Clinton Chronicles?

Review coming up in post to ‘all’.

All — Not one FReeper who was here in the 90s is surprised by this ‘shocker’.

Here’s why — The Clintons were corrupt creeps all along — even when Bill was a governor in Arkansas.

Clinton Chronicles [very damning of BOTH Clintons]
http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/ARCHIVE/CLINTON_CHRONICLES.html

“The [Clinton] Chronicles was put together because there were several people, not only in Arkansas, but across the nation, that had documented evidence of ...

... criminal activity that involved Bill ***and Hillary*** Clinton.”

[To be fair I don’t know what the current legal status of the Clinton Chronicles is. They taped many damning statements by scores of people who personally witnessed serious crimes. But some judge sealed up at least one of the Chronicles during the Clinton administration. And there could be bogus National Security claims that gummed it up as well. So, bearing in mind that I hardly give a tinker’s fig about the legal status of RECORDED accounts from multiple emphatic witnesses, here we go ...]

[snippets]

NARRATOR: BILL CLINTON SOLD THE CONCEPT OF ADFA TO THE PEOPLE OF ARKANSAS
AS A VEHICLE FOR CREATING JOBS AND ASSISTING CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS. IN
REALITY, MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER-GUARANTEED DOLLARS WERE BEING CHANNELED TO
CLINTON’S ELECTION CAMPAIGNS, TO HIS INNER CIRCLE OF FRIENDS, AND TO HIS
WIFE, HILLARY’S, LAW FIRM. THIS MAY EXPLAIN WHY ADFA HAD BEEN DRAFTED IN
SUCH A MANNER AS TO KEEP ITS DECISION- MAKING PROCEDURES SECRET.

LARRY NICHOLS: If you needed a million dollars, you had to get your
application handled by [Hillary’s] Rose Law Firm, pay them $50,000. There were
five other companies in the state of Arkansas that were actually more
qualified in bond structuring and applications, but Rose Law Firm got ‘em
all. I started checking around, and I kept asking, well you know, one
thing’s bothering me — to the comptroller, Bill Wilson. “You know, how
did people make payments on these loans?” He looked at me, he said, “They
don’t.”

He thought I knew. Well, that blew my mind.

[snip]

Dan Lasater [a Clinton crony] would get the bonds. He would become the broker for the bonds. He would transfer money back to ADFA. He never sold a bond. The money then would leave ADFA, go into one of the various banks for the specific bond loan, and they would zero it out. When they zeroed it out they were giving it back to Lasater less their handling fees.

DOC DELAUGHTER (Former Arkansas Police Investigator in charge of Dan
Lasater case): During the Lasater investigation, we had numerous witnesses
for the Federal Grand Jury, had extensive Police testimony of people that
were connected with Dan Lasater and drug use and everything else. Uh, his
cocaine use become used as a tool for sexual favors and also for business
deals and to influence people. And that’s when Mr. Lasater became quite
flamboyant with his cocaine use and that ultimately led to his arrest and
conviction.

LARRY NICHOLS: Dan Lasater, who was best friend of Bill Clinton, who went
to jail with Roger Clinton for cocaine, and by the way, let me explain
something, he didn’t sell cocaine. No, they were giving it away; huge
piles of cocaine in his office. Ash tray upon ash tray full at the parties,
and they would give it to young girls. That’s sick. I mean, they were
giving a highly addictive drug to young girls.

DOC DELAUGHTER: One particular one that comes to mind is a fourteen-year
old cheerleader out of North Little Rock. She was a virgin, and ultimately
he ended up sending her to a physician of his. The physician put her on
birth control pills. He used cocaine in order to - ultimately she lost her
virginity and she got addicted to cocaine and the last I heard of her when
we had her subpoenaed backed to the Federal Grand Jury, she was a hooker
in Lake Tahoe.

[snip]

DOC DELAUGHTER: After Lasater was indicted, I started to receive quite a
bit of harassment from my own department, the Arkansas State Police, and I
knew the reason behind it, because the affiliation with the State Police
and the Governor’s office, with Dan Lasater and his business associates.

SHARLINE WILSON (Grand Jury Witness): Mr. Lasater’s cocaine involvement
at times was very heavy ...

[snip]

LARRY NICHOLS: Once [Lasater] was convicted, he went to a minimum security prison, a holiday hotel we call them. He spent, I think it was six to eight months and he got out. Unbeknownst to anybody, Bill Clinton the day after he got out granted him a full and complete pardon. So if you think he’s tough on
crime, think about a man that pardons a man that gives cocaine to kids.

[snip]

[Okay, so now we know about Bill Clinton’s past. But what about Hillary?]

Guess who drafted the legislation creating Act 1062, which created the
Arkansas Development Finance Authority? Web Hubbell. Guess who
introduced the legislation to our legislators and got it passed through
our house? Web Hubbell. Guess who got the first loan? Web Hubbell.
Imagine this: Guess who did the audit and the evaluation of the
application. Rose Law Firm, you guessed it. Who signed it? Web
Hubbell, *** Hillary Clinton ***.

[For those new to the FR, Web Hubbell was a member of the Clinton administration even though he spent a lot of time in prison. He ended up in prison againafter Clinton was elected. And a member of the Clinton administration. And ... Hillary worked with him at the Rose Law Firm.]

[snip]

NARRATOR: IRONICALLY, WEB HUBBELL, A SENIOR PARTNER AT THE ROSE LAW FIRM,
WAS CHAIRMAN OF THE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST COMMITTEE AT ROSE. IN 1988, HE
SUCCESSFULLY ADVANCED THE ETHICS IN GOVERNMENT ACT, WHICH REQUIRED ARKANSAS
LEGISLATORS TO REPORT GOVERNMENTAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. INCREDIBLY, THIS
LAW SPECIFICALLY EXEMPTED GOVERNOR BILL CLINTON, HIS APPOINTEES, AND HIS
*** RELATIVES ***.

CLINTON’S APPOINTMENT OF HUBBELL TO THE U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT EXEMPLIFIED
THE ADMINISTRATION’S TOTAL DISREGARD FOR LEGAL ETHICS.

[snip]

NARRATOR: IN 1982, COCAINE TRAFFICKER BARRY SEALE SET UP ONE OF THE
LARGEST DRUG SMUGGLING OPERATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES IN MENA, ARKANSAS,
UNDER THE APPROVING EYE OF GOVERNOR BILL CLINTON.

[snip]

[SHARLINE WILSON goes on to say she saw Bill Clinton snort cocaine himself.]

DR. SAMUEL HOUSTON (Former Physician to Hugh Rodham, Hillary’s father):
Dr. Suen, S-U-E-N, a doctor at the medical center here in Little Rock
that’s taken care of Bill Clinton for his sinus problems, which may indeed
be drug related to cocaine use, as they destroy the sinus passages.
Governor Bill Clinton was taken into the hospital, I believe it was the
medical center, on at least one or two occasions, for cocaine abuse and
overdosage, in which he actually had to be cared for at the hospital.

[snip]

[And who was married to this addict? Hillary Rodham aka Hillary Clinton. SHARLINE WILSON goes on to describe that Bill Clinton had toga parties with mass adultery and heavy cocaine use. Sharline supplied the cocaine. She did point out that Hillary did NOT attend such parties, but this is Hillary’s past.]

RUSSELL WELCH (Arkansas State Police Investigator in charge of Mena
investigation): In 1983, I was made aware that Sheriff Hadaway and one
of his auxiliary deputies, Terry Capehart, were investigating a smuggling
operation going on at the Mena Airport. They had an inside source of
information.

BILL DUNCAN (Internal Revenue Service Treasury Agent in charge of Mena
investigation): Mr. Seale, it was our understanding, was the one who
had brought the operation into the Mena Airport and that had initiated
the beginning of the money laundering and the illegal activity.

RUSSELL WELCH: He said 1983 was his most profitable cocaine smuggling
period ever.

[snip]

WINSTON BRYANT (Arkansas State Attorney General): There was, in my
opinion, more than enough evidence to prosecute a number of people for
crimes regarding the Barry Seale case at Mena.

[snip]

[Larry Nichols was also an eye witness who saw the cocaine smuggling in Mena.]

LINDA IVES (Mother of Kevin Ives): On August 22nd, 1987, Kevin had spent
the night with his friend Don Henry. They left Don’s home around 12:30
or quarter till 1, on the 23rd of August in the early morning hours, and
the next thing we knew they had been run over by a train. There seems to
be a small airstrip in the area. There had been sightings and reports of
small airplanes flying very low with lights off in the area. I believe
they saw something they shouldn’t have seen.

Three weeks later their deaths were ruled accidental by the State Medical
examiner, Fahmy Malak, and we disagreed with that ruling because we
thought the evidence pointed to homicide ... We obtained court orders, requesting samples of everything that the crime lab had for a second opinion, and Fahmy Malak resisted court orders. He refused to obey them.

AS LONG AS MALAK’S RULINGS PLEASED THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OR STATE POLICE,
THEY WERE LEFT TO STAND NO MATTER HOW IMPLAUSIBLE. MALAK’S OBVIOUS LACK
OF MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE REACHED A PINNACLE WHEN HE RULED THAT JAMES MILAM,
WHO HAD BEEN DECAPITATED, HAD DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES. YET CLINTON, WHO
HAD THE POWER TO REMOVE MALAK FROM OFFICE, INSISTED HE STAY[ED].

LINDA IVES: There were allegations of tampering with evidence in murder
cases. There were allegations of perjury in different cases. It didn’t
seem to matter what Malak did, Clinton protected him. He made excuses,
such as, he’s overworked, he’s just stressed out, he’s underpaid. They
gave him a $14,000 raise, which was an insult to my family, as well as
a lot of others in the state who to this day are struggling with asinine
rulings in the deaths of children and other loved ones.

[snip]

JOHN BROWN: Dan Harmon was just a local attorney ... [and apparently betrayed the Ives family during the trial] ... He helped lead them down a path that absolutely led to nowhere on this case.

I got involved in the case and immediately Harmon tried to discredit me
without even knowing me. I couldn’t figure it out. I ran across a young
lady named Sharline Wilson, who told a horror story that I didn’t
really believe at the time. So I started searching for evidence to
substantiate just part of what she had said. Harmon went ballistic; he
called, he threatened me, he threatened Sheriff Pridgeon, he threatened
Captain Gene Donald, the chief deputy, all because I talked to this one
woman.

SHARLINE WILSON: The people at the track that night, to my knowledge,
were Dan Harmon, Keith McKaskle, Larry Rochelle. I do know that the boys
were watching the drop site, O.K.? And they got curious as to what was
being dropped there.

JOHN BROWN: The fact is, we know who killed these kids. The whole reason
this case has been slowed down, stopped wherever we’re at - they can’t
do anything with it as long as Clinton is in office, because the tracks
go right back to Bill Clinton being involved in the cover-up.

[snip]

NARRATOR: A NUMBER OF PEOPLE APPROACHED THE POLICE WITH INFORMATION ABOUT
DON AND KEVIN’S MURDERS AND CONSEQUENTLY WERE MURDERED THEMSELVES.

LINDA IVES: Shortly before Keith McKaskle was murdered, he knew that
he was fixing to be murdered. He told his family good-bye, told his
friends good-bye. The night of the elections in 1988, he took two pennies
out of his pocket and threw them on the bar there at the Wagon Wheel and
said “If Jim Steed loses this election, my life isn’t worth two cents,”
and he was murdered that night.

Jeff Rhodes was a young man from Benton, who was murdered in 1989. Shortly
before his death he made a phone call to his dad in Texas, and told him
he needed to get out of Benton, Arkansas, that he felt he knew too much
about the boys on the railroad tracks, and the death of Keith McKaskle.

A couple of weeks later Jeff was found dead. He’d been shot in the head.
They’d attempted to cut off his head, and hands and feet, and set him on
fire in a dump.

NARRATOR: A TOTAL OF SIX PEOPLE WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOYS’ MURDERS
WERE EVENTUALLY MURDERED AS WELL.

JOHN BROWN: Jean Duffey was the head of the 7th Judicial District Drug
Task Force. She was leading a team of narcotics investigators into a
drug trail in Saline County that led her right straight to Dan Harmon.

This information she shared with the 1990 federal OCDE-TF team that was
investigating and targeting corruption and drugs in Saline County and
central Arkansas. From her involvement in that, she was literally
threatened and forced to leave the state of Arkansas and go into hiding.

JEAN DUFFEY (Former Head of Arkansas Drug Task Force): I had no idea
just how dangerous certain elected officials thought me to be until a
brutal media campaign was launched against me. For months there were
daily allegations of everything from misspending funds to ordering
illegal arrests. Every attempt was made to keep me from running the
drug task force. We were even shut down completely for several weeks
during a bogus state police investigation. In spite of crippling
disruptions, the task force was making significant discoveries about
drug trafficking in central Arkansas, some of which led to the very
people who were conducting the massive media crusade against me.

We discovered that drug trafficking in Arkansas was linked to government
officials in frightening proportions. A great number of people came to
me with testimony about astonishing criminal activity of very high-level
public officials. Many were willing to testify before the federal Grand
Jury.

SHARLINE WILSON: Robert Govar and Chuck Banks were the U.S. attorneys
for the district of Arkansas at that time. I was subpoenaed to testify
on behalf of the drug trafficking and the cartel - more or less is what
is was - that had to do with Dan Harmon and, what I call, company,
because there are a whole, there’s a whole bunch of them that are
involved. I was asked quite in depth about the drug trafficking that
went on with Dan Harmon, Mr. Clinton, Roger Clinton.

JEAN DUFFEY: Although there was an abundance of evidence and word kept
reaching me from members of the Grand Jury that they were ready to
indict, no indictments came.

[snip]

[Duffy and Brown continued in detail to explain how the entire investigation was shut down.]

JEAN DUFFEY: Then in November, Banks removed Govar from the case and I
was fired from the task force. From this point, the ordeal turned really
ugly. In January 1991, one of the key targets of Govar’s investigation,
Dan Harmon, took office of the 7th Judicial District Prosecutor. Harmon
immediately called a state Grand Jury to investigate the allegations
against me. To avoid being jailed in Hot Spring County, which would have
put me in serious danger, I left the state.

[snip]

SHARLINE WILSON: I received a phone call, and they told me that I had
made a very big mistake, and I was assured by the U.S. Attorney’s Office
that my name, that my testimony, that my statements, that the people
who were on that witness list, would never, ever be revealed.

Well, ha ha, you know. Someone in the U.S. Attorney’s office had given
Mr. Harmon a list of the effective witnesses, you know. Some of them
witnesses, over a period of time, have came up dead and/or missing or
have never been heard of again. That don’t give you a very good feeling.
I’m scared of these people. I’m very scared of them.

JOHN BROWN: Guess who arrested her? Dan Harmon, the very guy that she
says turned her on to drugs now has her arrested.

[snip]

JOHN BROWN: I mean, I’ve watched second, third offense people walk around
with probation on top of probation on top of probation. Not this lady:
first time she’s been arrested for drugs they allege that they found in
her home, she gets thirty years.

Sure, everybody ought to be able to see through this. This is the man
that told Linda Ives for years, “We’re going to get to the bottom of
your son’s death.”

[snip]

LINDA IVES: There aren’t any words in the English language that can
describe how it makes you feel as a parent, or as a citizen of Arkansas,
to see what our officials are capable of doing. You know, I think we
were just kind of naive, common ordinary people ... [no clue what they were up against].

[snip]

JEAN DUFFEY: I can provide information that has tentacles to Governor
Clinton’s administration. It is apparent to me that a Congressional
investigation is the last hope ... [snip]

[And then Hillary personally rifled through congress’s FBI files to shut down those investigations. That will be covered later.]

RUSSELL WELCH: We’d been so busy investigating, just concentrating,
focusing, that it took a while to register that nothing was going to
happen.

BILL DUNCAN: We could not understand what was happening. Neither Mr.
Welch nor I were ever subpoenaed to testify before the Grand Jury and
present massive amounts of evidence of wrongdoing by associates of
Barry Seale. No indictments were ever returned against any of the
individuals and I can tell you there was extensive evidence.

CHARLES BLACK (Polk County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney): There
definitely was some suppression of evidence and definitely a cover up
of an investigation and somebody should be held accountable as to why
that happened.

[snip]

CHARLES BLACK: During the 1992 attorney general’s race in Arkansas, a
member of Clinton’s staff had approached Mr. Bryant and had asked him
to stay away from the Mena affair or the Mena matter.

WINSTON BRYANT: I’ve done quite a bit of investigation into Mena, Barry
Seale case myself, and quite frankly it is a federal problem.

RUSSELL WELCH: After Winston took office, Bill told me that he was no
longer allowed to discuss the Mena airport investigation from the attorney
general’s office...

[snip]

JOHN BROWN: Well, a lot of people have said that the Mena operation stopped
in 1986 when Barry Seale was gunned down; it’s not true. Covert operations
are still going on in Mena, Arkansas, today. And if you stop and think,
back when Bill Clinton was Governor, he was asked about Mena. He said,
“Well, that’s a federal problem; I’m not going to get involved in it.”

Well, he’s not the Governor of Arkansas anymore; he’s the President of
the United States.

[snip]

BILL DUNCAN: I’ve always thought it was a wonderful thing to be able to
serve your country as a federal law enforcement agent, and for 15 years
I did not encounter anything like the corruption which I encountered
after the Mena investigations began.

NARRATOR: PRESIDENT CLINTON’S VERBAL COMMITMENT TO A WAR ON DRUGS HAS
BEEN NEGATED BY HIS ACTIONS. DURING HIS FIRST WEEKS IN OFFICE CLINTON
REVOKED RANDOM DRUG TESTING FOR WHITE HOUSE STAFF MEMBERS; HE ELIMINATED
121 POSITIONS AT THE OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL; AND HE APPOINTED
JOCELYN ELDERS AS U.S. SURGEON GENERAL, DESPITE HER WELL-KNOWN DESIRE
TO LEGALIZE DRUGS.

ONE OF HILLARY’S INVESTMENTS, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF TYSON FOODS
COUNSELOR JAMES BLAIR, NETTED ALMOST A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ON AN
INITIAL ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR INVESTMENT, A NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FEAT USING
LEGAL METHODS. [The Cattle Futures scandal.]

HILLARY CLINTON: I can’t read their minds or speculate, but I had
absolutely no reason to believe that I got any favorable treatment.

NARRATOR: COINCIDENTALLY, GOVERNOR CLINTON ENACTED A NUMBER OF STATE
REGULATIONS, ALLOWING TYSON FOODS TO GROW INTO THE LARGEST INDUSTRY IN
ARKANSAS.

[That’s right — Tyson Foods. Ever eat Tyson chicken? Great chicken. I still eat it. But here’s the dirty little secret ...]

LARRY NICHOLS: Don Tyson put in six, seven hundred thousand dollars all
told in all of Bill Clinton’s campaign. Guess what he got out of it?
He got ten million dollars. Guess from where? The Arkansas Development
Finance Authority. And he never paid a dime for it.

DOC DELAUGHTER: Now, I had heard rumors of Don Tyson and his alleged
cocaine use and distribution. I went through the intelligence files and
came up with enough that I thought was a sufficient amount of evidence
to launch an investigation on Mr. Tyson simply out of the Arkansas
State Police intelligence files that had been accumulating for years.

SCOTT WHEELER: (Journalist): A great deal of criminal investigation files
were surfacing with Don Tyson’s name mentioned in there as being
involved with some drug and narcotics trafficking activities. So I
interviewed some of the investigators who worked on the Tyson case.
Most of them felt that Tyson should have been indicted, but the
investigations were always sabotaged, often times from within.

One particular undercover narc agent told me that another criminal
investigator in that department, named Doug Fogley, was furnishing Don
Tyson with photographs of the undercover narcotics agents that were
working on his case.

[I emailed Scott Wheeler once, a tenacious China-gate invetigative journalist. He was furious years later that this recording was put in the movie. But good heavens! When can this be talked about? After everyone dies?]

JOHN BROWN: Donald Smaltz was actually hired to look into the allegations
that Tyson had given bribes to different people, specifically to the
Secretary of Agriculture, Mike Espy.

Now what came out of that investigation was very remarkable: drug abuse,
drug distribution, money laundering, even murder for hire. Now, Smatlz
collected all this stuff, he compiled it, he put it in proper order. And
he approached Janet Reno and he said, “Look, I need to broaden my
investigations; I’m finding more here than just simple payoffs.”

What do you think happened? Well, by now most of you already know; he
was turned down... Tyson already hired lobbyists, attorneys, who all approached
Congress, trying to get everybody to stop Smaltz.

[snip]

[I recall seeing Janet Reno ‘testify’ during Chinagate. She hid behind, ‘Not allowed to say because of ongoing investigations.’ Completely stonewalled those few brave congressmembers who could not be intimidated by the stolen FBI files.]

LARRY NICHOLS: Don Tyson was in the middle of the cocaine just like Bill
Clinton, just like Dan Lasater, just like Roger Clinton and all the
others. So, you see, all of this incest and all of this drug running,
all of the trafficking of drugs, sending them all over the nation, came
out of little Mena, Arkansas, right under the nose of little Governor
Billy Clinton.

I went to Bill, and I said, “Bill, you’ve got two weeks to tell the truth
or I’m gonna tell it. You’re breaking the law and I can’t be a part of it.
You made a mistake, I’m not one of your buds. At least I’m not that big a
buddy.”

JUDGE JIM JOHNSON: When Larry Nichols made his disclosures, made them
public, the Clinton spin doctors treated him unmercifully. It shocked
those of us who had been kept in the dark through the years, in Arkansas
politics. The Arkansas news media had done little, if anything to
uncover anything derogatory about Bill Clinton. And for these
disclosures to come out of the blue, was so shocking, that the spin
doctors attacked the messenger rather than tried to answer the charges
that Nichols had made. And they did such an efficient job that it
caused me, and others, to look with less than favor on Larry Nichols
as an individual, because all we knew about him was what they were telling
and the press were printing.

LARRY NICHOLS: One of the neatest things about Bill Clinton is how he
handles the media. You see, Bill Clinton is an attorney, and when a
witness comes out against his client, what’s the first thing an
attorney does? He tries to discredit that witness.

They accused me of everything under the sun. Day in, day out, every
week, every week there was some new scandal in the paper that I was
involved in. Six, eight weeks later they’d print a retraction, it
wasn’t me. But to this day people in Arkansas think that I’m some
evil person.

JUDGE JIM JOHNSON: As a result of that, the boy had to pay a high
penalty in his credibility, he had to pay a high penalty in his
acceptability. And then, when the new evidence came out that supported
everything that Larry Nichols had said, he finds himself, I think,
probably in the position of knowing that he had been exonerated, but
he has not been exonerated in the minds of the people generally, in
my view. And he finds himself, probably, in the position of wondering
where he goes now to get his good name back.

[snip]

GARY JOHNSON (Former attorney for Larry Nichols): It’s just a small
state, a one party state. What tends to happen in small states like
that, I think, is the longer the person remains Governor, that I think
the greater the abuses are. And I think the abuses were very, very
widespread under Bill Clinton.

[snip]

GARY JOHNSON: The way they were doing these bond issues, and just the
whole political atmosphere, quite frankly, was a scandal. But that’s
the way things had historically been done in Arkansas.

LARRY NICHOLS: But imagine this, imagine the power this man has in
Washington, D.C.

[And oh DID we find out. It was at the dawning of Windows 95 — the counter-media was not yet the ‘din of small voices’ that Matt Drudge envisioned. Being on the cutting edge, we were easily belittled as oddball kooks even though the Clinton Chronicles had video-taped such damning accounts by so many.]

[I’ll get into more detail about Clintons in the White House later. Since the economy limped along moderately well and investors didn’t want to endanger their investments. They were just as eager as democats and ‘filegated’ republicans to keep Clinton scandals suppressed.]

NARRATOR: DURING THE 1990 ARKANSAS GUBERNATORIAL RACE, LARRY NICHOLS, IN
A LAST-DITCH ATTEMPT TO ALERT THE PUBLIC, BOLDLY FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST
BILL CLINTON. AS EXPECTED, THE LAWSUIT WAS EVENTUALLY QUASHED, SEALED
AND ILLEGALLY DISMISSED BY A CLINTON-APPOINTED JUDGE. WHAT NICHOLS
DIDN’T EXPECT WAS A COMPLETE MEDIA BLACKOUT OF THE FACTS HE HAD PRESENTED.

~~~~~~~~

Part Two — Bill Clinton’s Bimbo Eruptions and More Strange Deaths

LARRY NICHOLS: When I worked at ADFA, it was not uncommon for Bob Nash to call me up and say, “Hey Nichols, the Governor needs about five grand transferred
to his travel account, so he can go see his ladies.” And we would at
ADFA transfer five to ten thousand dollars for him to go see his
girlfriends, in either LA or New York.

[snip]

Back in 1990, after all the damage they had done to me, I did something that most people wouldn’t do in Arkansas: I sued Bill Clinton. Now it’s very important to note that in that lawsuit I brought out the names of five women. On October the 19th the only press conference I’ve ever held in my life was on the Capitol steps of Arkansas.

[snip]

[Nichols launched a massive press release covered by an army of reporters, but everything was blacked out.]

NARRATOR: EVENTUALLY, EVERY ALLEGATION STEMMING FROM NICHOLS’ 1990
LAWSUIT AND PRESS CONFERENCE WOULD PROVE VALID REGARDING CLINTON’S
TAXPAYER-FINANCED SEXUAL LIAISONS, HIS DRUG USAGE AND HIS CRIMINAL
ACTIVITIES RELATING TO ADFA AND WHITEWATER.

GRADUALLY, THE WOMEN WHO HAD CARRIED ON ADULTEROUS AFFAIRS WITH
CLINTON BEGAN TO EMERGE. THE FIRST WAS GENNIFER FLOWERS WHO, LIKE ALL
THOSE CLOSE TO CLINTON, WAS FACED WITH A DECISION: EITHER KEEP QUIET
AND RECEIVE A GOVERNMENT JOB, OR GO PUBLIC AND FACE CHARACTER
ASSASSINATION IN THE PRESS.

BETSY WRIGHT, CLINTON’S FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF, ADMITTED SHE HAD BEEN
HIRED TO CONDUCT MEDIA SMEAR CAMPAIGNS AGAINST ANYONE PLANNING TO TELL
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GOVERNOR’S SEXUAL HABITS. SHE WAS PREPARED TO GO
AFTER AT LEAST 26 WOMEN WHO HAD THE POTENTIAL OF DESTROYING CLINTON’S
CHANCE AT THE PRESIDENCY. [The notorious ‘Bimbo Eruptions’]

[snip]

LARRY NICHOLS: During the 1992 presidential campaign, I was getting
bludgeoned by the media because Gennifer Flowers had come out of my
lawsuit. A man called me on the phone on a Monday, his name was
Gary Johnson. He was an attorney. He told me that he felt bad because
I was being bludgeoned, and he wanted to talk to me about handling
my case. Well, I was craving an attorney, any attorney to help me.

GARY JOHNSON: You know, I saw Larry out there doing battles, so to
speak, on his own, and I felt like he needed some help.

LARRY NICHOLS: I met him on a Tuesday. He was a special attorney; I
didn’t even know it. You see, he lived next door to Gennifer Flowers.

NARRATOR: FOR SECURITY PURPOSES, GARY JOHNSON HAD INSTALLED A VIDEO
CAMERA NEAR THE FRONT DOOR OF HIS QUAPAW TOWER CONDOMINIUM.

GARY JOHNSON: Looking at someone in front of my door, it got a perfect
shot of them in front of Gennifer Flowers’ condominium, and it wasn’t
my intention ever to take pictures of Bill Clinton going in to see
Gennifer Flowers.

[snip]

[And it showed Bill Clinton with a key to her door.]

LARRY NICHOLS: Go back to 60 Minutes when Bill and Hillary were love
and kisses. They stood up and lied, and Bill said that he’d never been
to her apartment, that he’d only called her once from the kitchen and
from his office. That’s an absolute lie, and these tapes proved it.

NARRATOR: THE 60 MINUTES INTERVIEW HAD BEEN DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO
SAVE CLINTON’S CAMPAIGN, NOT NECESSARILY TO GET TO THE TRUTH.

DON HEWITT (Executive Producer, “60 Minutes”): And they came to us
because they were in big trouble in New Hampshire. They were about to
lose right there and they needed some first aid. They needed some
bandaging. What they needed was a paramedic. So they came to us and
we did it and that’s what they wanted to do. When I told Tim Russer
that I was persona-non-grata at the White House, he said, “Why?” I
said, “The Gennifer Flowers interview.” He said, “You got him the
nomination.” I said, “I know that.” As far as I know from the
conversations I’ve had, Bernie Nussbaum knew that, Gergen knows that,
Lloyd Cutler certainly knows it ‘cause Lloyd had a hand in his coming
on that night.

You know it was strong medicine the way I edited it but he was a very
sick candidate. He needed very strong medicine, and I’m not in the
business of doctoring candidates but he got up out of a sick bed that
night and walked to the nomination and as I said to Mandy, “You know
if I’d edited it your way, you know where you’d be today? You’d still
be up in New Hampshire looking for the nomination.” He became the
candidate that night.

JUDGE JIM JOHNSON: When the Gennifer Flowers story broke, that story was
a hundred times more credible than the story that literally knocked
Gary Hart out of the campaign.

[snip — not that this transcript EVER gets boring!]

“”the Clinton Foundation.””

Corrected at the end of the article to the “Clinton FAMILY Foundation”!! WOW - what a difference a few words makes. That’s why there are so many entities to their foundations so it would be all the more difficult to follow the trails!

“”Chelsea gets a $950K salary from the Foundation””

What is the source on that?

How can this not be tax evasion?

And from the woman who always says the rich need to pay their “fair share”

She figured out a scheme to avoid paying her fair share.

of course the mainstream media won;t be covering this cause Trump adjusted his tie today—oh the horror! /s

Hi guy.

“Will you serve on the board for me?”

Sure. All I need are some good cigars, and a ration of Glenfiditch.
