“Follow the money.” That telling phrase, which has come to summarize the Watergate scandal, has been a part of the lexicon since 1976. It’s shorthand for political corruption: At what point do “contributions” become bribes, “constituent services” turn into quid pro quos and “charities” become slush funds?

Corporations are people, and money is speech. Over and out.
“Follow the money” is the best advice ever given to see what people will do. Nobody...NOBODY acts against their economic interests. If you want to know who owns somebody, see where their money comes from.
The Clintons went from supposedly “broke” to now worth over US$200 million. It’s the William Magear “Boss” Tweed graft scheme all over again....
” If you want to know who owns somebody, see where their money comes from.”
So easy to do, yet few people bother. Beyond a shame!
Hillary professes opposition to Citizen’s United...apparently she only opposes it for other people, but not herself.

Hillary being paid $250k for a 20 minute speech is like buying a $1,000 bottle of champagne at a strip club. Over priced, and we all know what it’s really about. And this is yet another slimy activity where a Clinton, once again, gets a ‘happy ending’. For Hillary, money is orgasmic, while for Bill - it is what it is, even if you know the definition of “is” is.
Media catches up with Americans, finally.
TRUMP led the way expressing start to finish what we have known all along.
You know, it was not the Constitutional threats as it turns out. It was the fury at ourselves for our cowardice, for not fighting in the streets by now, not finding and electing anyone with courage to bash, bray and battle all the right people!
Thankfully, he is here now.
TRUMP 2016
Actually, Clint Eastwood said it in “Magnum Force” 1973
Christians often act against their economic interests.
“The Clintons went from supposedly “broke” to now worth over US$200 million.”
Let’s not exaggerate; she’s purportedly worth $31.3M and Bill’s purportedly worth $80M for a joint worth of only $111M. Or, approximately $110.9M more than they were worth when they went into the White House. Isn’t public service grand?
Throw in the additional $26,630,000 her ex-president husband hoovered up in personal-appearance “honoraria,” No wonder Donald Trump calls her “crooked Hillary.”

All the money in the Clinton slush fund is theirs. Somewhere north of $1.2 billion so far.
At first glance, the Clintons astounding honoraria and humongous Foundation donations seem to provide the bulk of the couples mega income.
Bill's honoraria increased dramatically pocketing some $50 million during Hillarys four-year term as Secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech. The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day.
===============================================
I firmly believe the Clinton Foundations gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealth....and the way they make billions sub rosa....intertwining their vaunted do-goodism and their multiple tax-paid public offices.
The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities. All of that is kept under wraps. Very little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillarys non-speech business interests.
Reports keep surfacing indicating the Clintons were party to multi/billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...Libyan oil deals....telecom businesses, deals w/ financial powerhouses like Teneo, Goldman Sachs.....etc etc etc.
THE CON ARTIST CLINTONS GRABBED EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ the Foundations transparent do-good activities....enabled by Hillarys catbird seat at the State Dept.
At last count, the Clintons apparently raised an astounding $2 billion from their foundation activities and their political campaigns.....
.....does not include monies flowing in from the various lucrative business ventures, interest accrued, safe deposit boxes, real estate assets, passive income on which they pay no taxes, income from Chelseas hubbys hedge fund, monies invested in Goldman Sachs, interest in financial powerhouse Teneo..... etc etc etc.......
The Clintons are worth a bundle.....accumulated in record time. Their livelihood was collected as they marched through American politics.
They co-opted taxpayers by using OUR govt and information they were privy to by virtue of govt office in order to pocket big bucks.
I wrote as one of my very first posts that the governor’s wife Hillary Clinton probably carried in her purse a Master Card from a Cayman Islands bank that she used for everything.
Easy to prove.....would have left a mile-long paper trail.
