Too bad there aren’t too many of those any more.

The Clinton’s friends that give them all this money have rocks for brains. I hope they continue to throw their millions out the window and get burned like hell for it.

Clinton Foundation CEO steps down
By STEVEN SHEPARD 1/9/15 9:21 AM EST Updated 1/9/15 3:55 PM EST

The Clinton Foundation announced Friday it is shaking up its leadership team, replacing its chief executive officer with a longtime aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – at least temporarily.

CEO Eric Braverman is stepping down from his post, the foundation said. The position will be filled on an interim basis by Maura Pally, a Hillary Clinton confidante who worked as a deputy assistant secretary during Clinton’s time at the State Department. Pally joined the Clinton Foundation in 2013 to “supervise Secretary Clinton’s Foundation-related activities, exploring new opportunities and ways to leverage existing Foundation efforts,” according to an internal email from then-CEO Bruce Lindsey at the time of Pally’s hiring.

Eric Braverman Tried to Change the Clinton Foundation. Then He Quit.
Inside the power struggle at Clinton, Inc.
By KENNETH P. VOGEL
March 01, 2015

In December, the board of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation approved a salary of more than $395,000, plus bonus, for its Yale-educated CEO, Eric Braverman, while voting to extend his board term through 2017, according to sources familiar with the arrangement. Braverman, who had worked with Chelsea Clinton at the prestigious McKinsey & Company consultancy, had been brought in with the former first daughter’s support to help impose McKinsey-like management rigor to a foundation that had grown into a $2 billion charitable powerhouse.

But in January, only weeks after the board’s show of support and just a year and a half after Braverman arrived, he abruptly resigned, and sources tell Politico his exit stemmed partly from a power struggle inside the foundation between and among the coterie of Clinton loyalists who have surrounded the former president for decades and who helped start and run the foundation. Some, including the president’s old Arkansas lawyer Bruce Lindsey, who preceded Braverman as CEO, raised concerns directly to Bill Clinton about the reforms implemented by Braverman, according to sources, and felt themselves marginalized by the growing influence of Chelsea Clinton and the new CEO she had helped recruit.

Five key Hillary Clinton players to watch

By Amie Parnes - 09/21/14 07:00 AM EDT
Hillary Clinton is known for having perhaps the most loyal inner circle in politics, sometimes loyal to a fault.

With the speculation of another Clinton bid for the presidency rising to a boil, The Hill looks at five insiders who promise to play a big role in the would-be campaign.

Cheryl Mills

Perhaps the most trusted aide in Hillaryland, Mills served as chief of staff and counselor during Clinton’s tenure at the State Department, handling everything from personnel matters to management and operations at Foggy Bottom.

The Stanford University Law graduate is close to both Clintons, having defended the former president during his impeachment trial and remaining close in recent years. But more than anything, Mills is known as a straight shooter, something the former first couple values.
Those familiar with the Clinton operation say that if there’s anyone who get the wheels greased in the lead-up to a potential presidential bid for Clinton, it will be Mills.

“She holds the keys the castle,” one former Hillary aide said. “If there’s one singular go-to for the Secretary, she’s the one.”

Minyon Moore

A senior adviser to Hillary Clinton during her 2008 run, expect Moore to play an even bigger role in a second campaign.

While she now works as a strategist at Dewey Square Group in Washington, she has a constant and direct line of communication with the former secretary of State on both professional and personal matters.

Like Mills, Moore also has long-running ties to the former first couple. She served in the Clinton White House as assistant to the President and director of White House Office of Political Affairs as well as the White House public liaison director.

Moore doesn’t have an outsized personality, and prefers to stay behind the scenes more often than not. But those inside the operation say Moore would have a role in piecing together the initial phases of a campaign.

“In terms of inner circle, Minyon easily falls into that pot,” a second former Hillary aide said. “She’s always been fiercely loyal to both the president and the secretary. And I wouldn’t expect that to change ever.”

Jake Sullivan

A relative newcomer to Hillaryland in 2007, Sullivan helped Clinton prepare for the Democratic primary debates, serving as an adviser for all-things policy.

But when she entered the State Department, the Minnesota native became her all-purpose senior aide where he not only ran Clinton’s Policy and Planning shop, but also dealt with communications and personnel issues.

When Clinton traveled to 112 countries as Secretary of State, Sullivan was constantly at her side. So it only made sense that when Clinton left Foggy Bottom, he was instantly snatched up by the White House, where he served as Vice President Biden’s national security adviser.

Sullivan left the White House recently to teach at Yale Law School this fall. But, Clinton insiders expect him to return if a Clinton campaign begins.

Hillary Clinton thinks Sullivan has chops for his own White House run one day, as she told a crowd in 2012.

“I told my husband about this incredibly bright rising star — Rhodes Scholar, Yale Law School — and my husband said, ‘Well, if he ever learns to play the saxophone, watch out,’” she said.

Maura Pally

When Hillary Clinton officially joined the Clinton Foundation in 2013, one of her first hires was Pally, who would serve as the executive director for her office at the Clinton Foundation.

Since then, Pally has run many of Clinton’s initiatives and projects including ‘No Ceilings,’ focused on Women and Girls, and Too Small to Fail, an initiative helping the health of young children.

Pally, like other Hillarylanders, began in the Clinton White House serving as a special assistant in the counsel’s office. She would go on to serve as deputy counsel during Hillary’s 2008 presidential run.

“She is probably one of the most capable people on staff,” said one Clinton insider. “There is nothing Maura can’t do. I think the secretary is well aware of that.”

Dan Schwerin

Among the youngest staffers on Team Clinton, Schwerin, an early thirty-something, got his start in Hillary’s Senate office, serving as a press aide.

He went on to work on the 2008 presidential campaign before landing at the State Department as a speechwriter to Clinton.

But Schwerin, who has inarguably spent more time with Clinton than any other aide this year, had perhaps his biggest task ahead of him when he helped Clinton pen her tome Hard Choices, which was released earlier this summer.

Clinton insiders expect that will be just the beginning of Schwerin’s trajectory up the Clinton ladder.

There was a Little Rock pharmacy owner who was one of the Hillarycare advisors. I heard from a guy who I think knew him and who said that the druggist was opposed to the healthcare scam when he got into the details of it. The man was run over by a truck. Accident or murder, I don’t know. Do not remember the druggist’s name.

One thing that is just bizarre is Bill C. Being the one who drove Hale Boggs to the airport to begin Boggs’ journey to oblivion. Most likely that is just a coincidence but a weird one.

I think both of them are bringing too much heat on the dems. Pervert bill is reminding everyone of the blewinsky thing with the trip to the isle of perves.
and no one likes her anyway. She's the rosie odonell of the dem party.

He has a bad heart. Done, gone like Breitbart. Her, doesn't she have tumors in her brain. Which in her case they would be called hemorrhoids.

BACKSTORY At the Arkansas-based Clinton Presidential Center's 10th anniversary cocktail party hosted by POLITICO Bill was pontificating--and pumping 2016 Hillary: "(His admin) had 100 times as many people move from poverty into the middle class. This shows the importance of policy, said Bill."

Pumping 2016 Hillary, he added: "We can do this again.”

OOPS---Billy Boy plumb "forgot" infamous MIT Professor -Jonathan Gruber crunched those numbers for the ever-ambitious Clintons....basing the numbers on the Clintons' knee-bending abortion worship. Read on.

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

World Net Daily reported November 14, 2014
BY Jerome R. Corsi / FR Posted by Cincinatus' Wife

NEW YORK – Obamacare architect, Jonathan Gruber, (exposed for his frank admissions that passing Obama's signature legislation required lying to "stupid" Americans)......published a paper during the Clinton administration observing that legalizing abortion saved the government $14B in assistance to economically disadvantaged mothers, including African Americans.....and lowered crime.

MIT economics professor Jonathan Gruber argued in his Clinton paper that without the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, “marginal children” would have been born to many poor mothers. Gruber said statistics show these aborted children would have been 70 percent more likely to live in a single-parent family, 40 percent more likely to live in poverty, 50 percent more likely to receive welfare and 35 percent more likely to die as an infant.

Economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner in their bestselling 2005 book, “Freakonomics,” relied on MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber’s work to argue that legalizing abortion was responsible for an approximately 50 percent reduction of crime in major urban centers in the early 1990s. more at wnd.com

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

Though the leftist-induced "culture war" ended many years ago, cunning, ruthless culture warriors like Bill and Hillary survived---thanks to the hefty income they skimmed off for themselves from "public service" and calculated govt spending. Hillary Clinton’s (God forbid) 2016 acceptance speech will almost certainly be the last gurgling sounds of the bombed-out sinking leftist ship.

WE KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT WANNABE HILLARY CLINTON'S POLITICAL AGENDA As she hopscotched around the country to the tune of $300,000 per hop---Hillary craftily held back her political game plan to her audiences.......to avoid scrutiny.

BUT THIS WE KNOW FOR SURE---THE 2016 BILL/HILLARY PRESIDENCY HAS A PLAN TO PERMIT UNLIMITED ACCESS TO WOMEN'S VAGINAS

In her cunning little fem-lib brain Hillary will exploit the "women's vote"----launching new initiatives to promote late-term abortions---maybe forming a "Woman's Equality Caucus" as a subterfuge for late-term abortion expansion programs designed to further the Democrats' national “war on women” campaign theme.

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

The Abortion Worshipping Clintons have a Master Plan---everybody knows in politics, to burnish one's bona fides in order to get into higher office, a pol has to spoon-feed the snarling "choice" crowds more and more red meat.

Snarling PP-types will demand medical reports and checkoffs for newborns w/ diseases----toddlers who have bow legs, 3-4 year olds who won't put away their toys, the ones who won't toilet-train. Next Cuomo will troll kindergartens for kids who don't color within the lines---all of them marked for post-birth abortions.
