Bill Clinton insists he doesn't owe Monica Lewinsky an apology for hijacking her life..

Bill Clinton insists he doesn't owe Monica Lewinsky an apology for hijacking her life by taking advantage of her while president – and says HE'S a victim because he left the White House deeply in debt

Clinton rocked the political world during the 1990s when he was forced to admit an affair with young White House intern Monica Lewinsky

Now he insists he doesn't owe her a face-to-face apology for turning her life upside down and subjecting her to international ridicule

The former president says he's a victim of his own transgressions since he left the White House $16 million in debt

He and Hillary Clinton have amassed a fortune since then through six-figure speaking appearances

James Patterson, who co-authored a political fiction book with Clinton, insisted he shouldn't have resigned because philandering JFK and LBJ set the standard

Former President Bill Clinton insisted in a weekend interview that he doesn't owe a personal apology to Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern whose adult life has been defined by their inappropriate sexual affair and the global scrutiny that followed.

'No,' he told NBC in an interview airing Monday on the 'Today' show. 'I do not – I have never talked to her. But I did say publicly on more than one occasion that I was sorry.'

'I apologized to everybody in the world,' Clinton said, implying that was enough.

And the flustered former president, more famous for his Don Juan-like seductions than for his policy legacy, portrayed himself, not Lewinsky, as history's victim in the mass-media's retelling of the 1990s saga.

I disagree. What he did to a young lady who was the lowest of his subordinates was sick. What they did to her afterwards spoke directly towards their character.

Monica made mistakes, but in the “maturity” department there is no comparison. A star-struck young intern and the most powerful man in the world in the Oval Office. There is NO WAY to equate the two in judgment.

How many General officers were separated from the military during his 8 years for such behavior? How many senior NCO’s were separated from the military during his 8 years for such behavior?

You got that right. Trump knew plenty about the notorious NY-based Clinton Foundation even before taking office. As president, he can direct his foreign service appointees to look into the antics of the conniving Clintons shaking down foreign leaders.

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

Australian newspaper "The Herald Sun" ran an October article entitled, “Why have we donated to Clinton’s foundation?” The paper noted "Former Prime Minister Gillard donated $300 million of our money to the Clinton-affiliated Global Partnership for Education.”

That's one humongous amt of Australian govt money that fell into the hands of the conniving Clintons. The Herald Sun needs to dig deeper---to determine if any of that money took a circuitous route then landed back into the personal coffers of the donors. Could have happened like this:

BACKSTORY When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore-----into a labyrinth of financial entities.

COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACIES GALORE Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.

But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny.

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

Some observers inside Germany believe the German government has some explaining to do for the donation that appears under the heading “Donors and Grantors”.“Why does a Ministry supports the election campaign of a U.S. presidential candidate?” blogged Vera Lengsfeld — former civil rights activist and German parliamentarian. “It seems German taxpayers unwittingly financed Hillary Clinton’s election campaign.” There is also the question pending: how many German govt ministries gave money to the Clintons.

The ones that operate offshore (or if they have any that are actually incorporated in other countries) will be especially prone to abuse.

The most incriminating thing---so far--- is Billy's infamous "pass-through account."
Deposited and emptied the same day....money whereabouts unknown.

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

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE--- Billybooboo's infamous "WJC LLC" pass-through account....funds deposited then emptied the same day. Funds just disappear, and no scrutiny involved.

Funds passing through Billybooboo's WJC LLC could end up in: (a) offshore accounts, (b) money market accounts, (c) hedge funds, (d) another foundation account, (e) assorted investment accounts....without garnering public scrutiny.

“I sort of agree with Slick. Monica could have avoided all of the publicity had she simply kept her mouth shut - either before or afterwards.”

In my opinion, she's definitely not blameless, and the same ambition that her to become a White House intern also likely contributed to her life becoming a public mess. She definitely targeted him, and I don't think women, even young women, should think that ‘flirting’ with married men is in any way OK. She knew he was married, knew he had a child, and should have also known that there was no way it was going to end well for either of them.

That said, he was the ‘grown up’, was POTUS having relations with an intern, and he has a track record of these kinds of escapades both before and after Monica. Even worse and telling about his character is that he would have destroyed her reputation entirely if he could have gotten away with it and saved himself from discovery and judgment for his actions.

Did Slick abuse his position of power? Yes. But Monica was 23 years old and in every way an adult and also made her own choices.

Then-NYAG Eric Schneiderman Let Clinton Foundation skip identifying foreign donors
By Bob Fredericks September 6, 2016 | 9:37pm

State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman gave the Clinton Foundation a pass on identifying foreign donors in its charitable filings — making it impossible to know if it got any special favors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, according to a report Tuesday.

Scripps News found that the foundation and its subsidiary, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, took in $225 million in government donations between 2010 and 2014. New York’s charity law clearly states: “Organizations that received a contribution or grant from a government agency during the reporting period shall include the name of each agency from which contributions were received and the amount of each contribution.” But both the foundation and the CHAI failed to do that, and Schneiderman, a member of Clinton’s “leadership council” in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump, did nothing about it.

On its website, the Clinton Foundation reveals its foreign donors, but using only broad ranges, such as $5 million to $10 million, without any time frames. The IRS doesn’t require such disclosures.In 2009, Clinton’s first year at the State Department, the foundation disclosed a lump sum of $122 million in foreign-government donations in its New York paperwork, posting the total amount on a form that requires all charities to “list each government contribution separately.”

Clinton spokesman Josh Schwerin said, “This is a ridiculous accusation. The Clinton Foundation goes above and beyond the disclosure requirements by listing every donor on their website and updating the list quarterly.” Schneiderman’s office said, “The Clinton Foundation’s disclosures regarding funding from foreign governments are in compliance with New York law.”

Other charities complied, including the George W. Bush foundation, which reported receiving $5 million from Saudi Arabia and $500,000 from Kuwait.

Hillary and the smirking Eric Schneiderman (right).

Then she was all the more aware of the risks of what she was doing. The constant tabloid stories of married stars and their dalliances, rumors of the casting couch, etc must have been firmly fixed in her mind. She knew the risks but still played the game.

I am not without sin who wants to cast the first stone. I do not wish to brand Lewinsky with a scarlet letter and ostracized her for life. What Clinton did was wrong, but many men would do the same. What I object to is the hypocrisy of feminism. We’re are told that a 22 year old female is just as capable of fighting on the battlefield as a 22 year old male, yet the poor little things simply cannot survive the sexual minefield of the workplace, so we must replace male executives with females so women can have a safe space.

There is a single standard, a double standard for Dems and a class of its own for the Clintons.

I remember when Bill Clinton had just been elected in '92, he wowed that his would be the most ethical administration in history.

The biggest victimizer in the known universe now claims he is the victim? LOL!! That’s rich! The Clintons don’t just drink the democrat kool-aid, they make it and flavor it according to their own objectives. Maybe one day all of their Democrat supporters will wise up and realize that they too have been victimized by the Clintons as well as by the Obozo. But it is doubtfull they will ever wise up on their own.

How $37 Million from the Clinton Foundation Disappeared in Baltimore
Polizette ^ | 04/06/18 | Charles Ortel
FR Posted on 4/6/2018, 10:36:51 PM by Revel

A federal grant went to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund — but the latter had only an office address in Washington, D.C. So what happened to the money?

Here’s a question for which Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, special counsel Robert Mueller, and former FBI Director James Comey may well know the answer to — but aren’t likely to want to talk about in public, under oath:
Why did the Clinton Foundation send a $37 million grant for the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund in 2010 to a Baltimore post office box when the CBHF told federal tax authorities that its only office that year was in Washington, D.C.?

For the rest of us, the answers to that and many other questions posed by those who wonder why investigations into obvious and rampant frauds involving Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton and their purported foundation never go anywhere are complex. But they’re worth following if you care about combating charitable fraud.

Be prepared, because the answers also make clear that too many powerful people were and are covering up an odious set of scandals that implicate Establishment Republicans and Democrats alike.So let’s get started, shall we?

EXCLUSIVE: Persian Gulf Sheikhs Gave Bill & Hillary $100 Million [VIDEO]

A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton received at least $100 million from autocratic Persian Gulf states and their leaders, potentially undermining Democratic presidential candidate Hillary’s claim she can carry out independent Middle East policies.

As a presidential candidate, the amount of foreign cash the Clintons have amassed from the Persian Gulf states is “simply unprecedented,” says national security analyst Patrick Poole. “These regimes are buying access. You’ve got the Saudis. You’ve got the Kuwaitis, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. There are massive conflicts of interest. It’s beyond comprehension,” Poole told TheDCNF in an interview.

Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received upwards of $85 million in donations from five Persian Gulf states and their monarchs, according to the foundation’s website. Activist groups have charged the five states — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — committed numerous human rights abuses.

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

AND THIS---Course, this is just a wild guess on my part (smirk), but I don't think the Saudi Royals like being jerked around by a coupla hicks from Arkansas.

The Saudis put hundreds of millions into the Clintons pockets when she was Secy of State, thinking she'd be president. Must be a lot of nay-saying in the desert now that the Clintons are political dead meat.

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

Turns out the Saudis helped stage Hillary's election night "victory"---giving her a huge expensive flat screen TV supposedly to air her crashing through a symbolic 500,000 dollar glass ceiling. (This from a kingdom where women are not allowed to drive).

Wait- you’re saying that she, as an adult, was responsible for her actions? But *ANY* fact that doesn’t vilify Clinton must be faked and the expositor thereof attacked.

As for me, none of business, then or now. If I’d had an affair darn right I’d lie to any and all about it. And if a young decent looking gal had wanted to fellate me, especially if trapped in a marriage that was more about political ambition than anything else I would probably have gone for it.

the only good thing is that it probably derailed a lot of the agenda President Clinton hoped to enact, other than that I couldn’t care less. I don’t expect any alpha male to be moral in the slightest, and any human that wants power over others is already tainted, in my opinion, far worse than merely a guy who got a BJ when he was supposed to be working.

Yeah, I’m that cynical. YMMV

HILLARY’S STATE DEPT——AND THE OBAMA YEARS-—UNRELENTING SCANDAL

EXCERPT The taxpayer financed-Skolkovo Scandal – While serving as secretary of state, Clinton oversaw a program meant to “reset” relations with Moscow and improve ties. The program centered around the Russian city of Skolkovo near Moscow with the stated aim of “identifying areas of cooperation and pursuing joint projects and actions that strengthen strategic stability, international security, economic well-being, and the development of ties between the American and Russian people.”

Hillary’s State Dept program transformed Skolkovo into a technology hub akin to a Silicon Valley. Sensitive American technology was transferred to the Russians, substantially enhancing their military and cyber capabilities. The US Army and the FBI concluded that Russia had exploited the program for military applications. The FBI warned American technology companies doing business in Skolkovo that the Skolkovo project was a means by which the Russians would acquire dual use technologies and apply them for military ends.
According to investigative author Peter Schweizer, Russian and American companies and individuals involved in the Skolkovo fiasco “had major financial ties to the Clintons.”

>>>>>>Moreover, during the Russian reset period, those entities provided the Clintons with “tens of millions of dollars” in the form of “contributions to the Clinton Foundation, paid for speeches by Bill Clinton, or investments in small start-up companies with deep Clinton ties.” <<<<<<<<
