‘Bill Clinton Inc.’: Hacked memo reveals intersection of charity and personal income
The Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | October 27, 2016 | Rosalind S. Helderman and Tom Hamburger

When top Bill Clinton aide Douglas Band wrote the memo, he was a central player at the Clinton Foundation and president of his own corporate consulting firm. Over the course of 13 pages, he made a case that his multiple roles had served the interests of the Clinton family and its charity.

In doing so, Band also detailed a circle of enrichment in which he raised money for the Clinton Foundation from top-tier corporations such as Dow Chemical and Coca-Cola that were clients of his firm, Teneo, while pressing many of those same donors to provide personal income to the former president.

Here’s another excerpt from the article:

“The memo, made public Wednesday by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, lays out the aggressive strategy behind lining up the consulting contracts and paid speaking engagements for Bill Clinton that added tens of millions of dollars to the family’s fortune, including during the years that Hillary Clinton led the State Department. It describes how Band helped run what he called “Bill Clinton Inc.,” obtaining “in-kind services for the President and his family — for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the like.”

The evening NBC news is all over this... making sure it’s viewers know that there was nothing illegal done and it’s just more of Trump’s whining.

On NBC News tonight fifth-column leftist buttboy and skank, Lester Holt and Andrea Mitchell, started off with the Wikileaks story, but concentrated on the emails being “stolen” and “unverified” and avoided giving any details, treating the revelations as an innocent lark. No mention of the islamocountries that gave Clinton millions of dollars, no mention of the favors these countries got from the State Department.

The fifth-column leftist media has no moral, social, or patriotic value.

‘Bill Clinton Inc.’: Hacked memo reveals intersection of charity and personal income

The "intersection of charity and personal income."

How fascinating. How interesting. Let us furrow our brows and scratch our chins as we consider the implications of this most interesting phenomenon.

If a Republican had done this, the language used to describe it would be just a tad less erudite.

It would be more like "fraud," "tax evasion," "commingling of funds," "misrepresentation of a charity," "bunko," "cheating the most vulnerable among us," and "living like a king on the backs of the poorest people in the world."

Of course, this is Bill Clinton, not a Republican, so we get to talk about "intersections" and "charities."

The media is IN BED with the POLITICIANS. Not figuratively, but quite LITERALLY.

Now, if one of them GOES DOWN, so does the OTHER.

That is why the media will do anything to keep the current politicians in power.

Co-conspirators with Traitorobama and Traitorhillary.

The fifth-column leftist media should be tried, convicted, and sentenced to the same punishment - that short drop and quick stop.

Interesting about the intersection of personal income with the Charity
Last I knew, you couldn't merge the two
I believe that travel expenses of the foundation officers can be paid by the foundation, but not ongoing living expenses.
Maybe it time for an FED audit ?
