Clinton Foundation raked in over $1M from colleges in three years (won't reveal entire take)

The U of Miami — headed by Bill Clinton's ex-Secy of HHS, Donna Shalala, who will take over the Clinton Foundation on Monday — shelled out at least $250,000, foundation records show...but the school refused to specify the total amount spent. “The speaking fee was underwritten by a private donor,” the school’s Asst VP of media relations, told The NY Post.

Arizona State U paid a whopping $500,000 last year, records show (and also doubled tuition). “If I had known, I would have spoken up,” Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz) told The Arizona Republic.

The first disclosed payment appears to be the 2013 CGI conference at St Louis' Washington U ....which paid up to $250,000. Schools host the annual event because it “helps advance their academic mission by bringing together leaders from business, government, philanthropy, technology, media, the arts and culture together on campus,” according to Clinton Foundation spokesman Craig Minassian. CEOs attending campus events include the head of Boeing (which profited handsomely from Secy of State Hillary's advocacy) and TV host, Jimmy Kimmel. The Clinton Global Initiative says it formed the initiative to launch the “next generation of leaders.”

What unalloyed bulls^%t! It’s nothing but a racket for the well heeled to continuously and readily grasp even MORE money without WORKING FOR IT!

Can you say ‘gravy train’?

THE CLINTON-BOEING DEAL---Foundation Donors Got
Lucrative Weapons Deals From Hillary's State Dept

International Business Times ^ | May 26, 2015 | By David Sirota / FT Posted by Oldeconomybuyer

Even by the standards of arms deals between the United States and Saudi Arabia, this one was enormous. A consortium of American defense contractors led by Boeing would deliver $29 billion worth of advanced fighter jets to the United States' oil-rich ally in the Middle East.

Under Clinton's leadership, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation, according to an IBTimes analysis of State Department and foundation data.

That figure -- derived from the three full fiscal years of Clinton’s term as Secretary of State (from October 2010 to September 2012) -- represented nearly double the value of American arms sales made to the those countries and approved by the State Department during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.

American defense contractors also donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton for speaking engagements.

Such firms and their subsidiaries were listed as contractors in $163 billion worth of Pentagon-negotiated deals that were authorized by the Clinton State Department between 2009 and 2012. (Excerpt) Read more at ibtimes.com ...

Bill fantasizes about teen age masseuses???

The MSM has not covered the story of Bill going to that island with teenage girls. I think Bill may have made some fantasy into reality there. Unless he was going to give a speech to the girls, urging them to reach for their dreams, go to college, shoot for the moon, all that good stuff.

"Schools host the annual event because it “helps advance their academic mission"

If that really is their mission, a donor to the school should sue the Regents for misappropriation of funds or something similar - always assuming they can prove 'Standing'. /sarc

The ‘donors’ must be on board with the whole thing or else they WOULD object....

It’s just a scam for them and for their ‘friends’ to bilk the system and, to stick it to the taxpayers who get shafted going and coming....

Schools justify tuition increases and ... students’ addiction to Liberal drivel is satisfied.

The REAL losers are taxpayers who are getting it going and coming for ‘aid’ to students ... and then getting screwed over AGAIN when these same kids default on loans the taxpayers have so generously provided.

We pay and pay in the continuous and increasing cycle of taxation which forces workers to live under a grinding burden of MORE and MORE assistance to people who don’t/won’t EVER repay their obligation OR show any gratitude FOR it!

Complain or object and you get yourself called the ugliest names on earth... just because you are asking for some accountability on the expense and an ethical, unbiased approach to who gets invited to ‘speak’ and what they ‘say’!

It’s sympomatic. Libs want to win and have POWER. The GOP just wants to feed at the public trough. Fight back? No.

Arizona U parents stuck w/ higher tuition costs have ample grounds to sue under the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Criminal Organizations Act (RICO).

RICO is often used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, at RICO's inception, was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members.

But in recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to government officials accused of using their offices for personal gain---for example the 28 various former and current Atlanta public school officials who recently went to jail.

There are federal RICO's and state RICO's. To bring a case under state RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies — such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among others).

RICO gives prosecutors latitude to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the self-same indictment, and to charge that they were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.

NOTE: anyone can bring a RICO suit---based here on the fact that that individuals paid for, but did not receive, the advertised, promised services.

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

Arizona U official could also be nabbed under the HOBBS ACT: when a public official in any way or degree obstructs, delays, or affects commerce or the movement of any article or commodity in commerce, by conspiracy in furtherance of a plan or purpose to do anything in violation of this section shall be fined or imprisoned not more than twenty years....
