Bill and Hillary’s sleazy road to riches (exploiting the presidency was key)
NYPOST.COM ^ | 10/7/16 | NY Post Editorial Board

Posted on 01/11/2018 5:21:04 AM PST by Liz

Everything about the Clinton’s sleazy drive to enrich themselves is true......in a 2011 memo, ex-presidential aide Doug Band openly boasted about raising millions for the foundation from his business clients—and even more for Bill Clinton personally. Band’s 13-page memo actually described the arrangement he’d set up as “Bill Clinton Inc.” — “dedicating myself” to helping the Clintons use their government service to feather their own nest.

And what a gravy train: Band’s clients at his Teneo consulting firm were pressed to give millions to the foundation — and millions more to Bill. Teneo had raised $8M for the foundation and $3M in paid speeches for Bill. Band boasted, it had also set up “more than $50M min for-profit” Clinton business deals, with contracts worth $66M more. And that doesn’t even include loads of “in-kind” freebies, like vacations and private jets.

The foundation claims there was no unsavory link between its donors and Hillary’s job as secretary of state. Yet other e-mail dumps and investigations show that giving to Clinton's do-good causes could win you face time,State Dept jobs — and preferential treatment in Haiti-relief work. Plus suspicious favors outlined in “Clinton Cash” and elsewhere.

An internal investigator concluded that corporations were “paying Teneo for connections with Clinton” — not to mention with Secretary Hillary and potential future president. And when Hillary aide Huma Abedin needed help making ends meet, Hillary got her three jobs---at Teneo, as a salaried foundation worker — and US govt paychecks at State. The circle of enrichment was a one-hand-washes-the-other arrangement. All nice and cozy — and mutually lucrative. What more proof do we need that as far as Bill and Hillary Clinton are concerned, the rules don’t apply to them?

I’m just waiting to see how an entire editorial board of a newspaper commits suicide.

Obama is doing the same thing. He won’t make as much because he’s basically lazy.

Wasn’t Nixon in hot water for accepting the gift of a pet dog when he (Nixon) was on the Eisenhower ticket?

I think Obama has a cut in all of Hill and Bill’s shenanigans.....he has to stay quiet about it and that’s not free! He’s part and parcel, as far as I’m concerned.

“Everything about the Clinton’s sleazy drive to enrich themselves is true......”

Why the apostrophe in “Clintons”? It’s plural.

Fort Marcy Park is nice this time of year. Actually, anywhere in Arkansas would work. I’m sure there’s a mass grave there with room for a few more.

The possibility that Hillary could become President - and get her hands on powerful levers of revenge - was always a serious deterrent until November 2016.

The fact that influential people are daring to speak out against The Clintons now - Donna Brazile, Kirsten Gillibrand, and the New York Post’s editors - suggests that people finally realize The Grifters game is up and they no longer have the power they used to.

But, we still haven’t heard exactly what happened with Hillary on Election Night, which is still probably the biggest unreported story in America. Someone out there knows the juicy details, and wants to tell, but so far has been afraid.

Maybe that will change soon?

The possessive apostrophe.

It’s also possessive since it’s referring to their “sleazy drive”. I think it should be Clintons’ for the plural possessive but I’m not sure.

No, it's been coming out for some time. Summarized quite nicely in the book Clinton Cash (spend 8 bucks and read it). The big difference is we now have a President who's honest and cares about the Rule of Law.

No, I think it's because Obams is more generous, albeit in a weird way. He actually has causes he believes in (Islam, subjugate YT, lower US standing and power)

Bill and Hillary only wanted to line their pockets. In contrast, as President, Obama (through Eric Holder) directed billions of "sue and settle" proceeds to favored leftist groups. Some of them may "give back" to BHO later, but most of it has been spent or "invested." Where do all those pre-printed signs, organizer buses, black uniforms come from?

Bill and Hil sold their influence rather directly and personally. The Clinton Foundation was an ingenious scam that allowed them to take bribes and store them in plain sight. They probably tracked some of their goings on in the now-deleted server. BHO does things differently. He'll get tons of money in his retirement, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of it winds up offshore.

Misplaced.

Should be: ... the Clintons' sleazy drive ...

Common Core Language Arts. The original writer apparently felt like the apostrophe should cuddle between the 'n' and the 's'.

Hillary still has the contents of over 600 FBI files that were stolen in her behalf. I am positive they were copied before they were ‘returned’.
