Hillary University: Bill Clinton Bagged $16.46 Million from For-Profit College as State Dept.
Breitbart ^ | 6/2/16 | Stephen K. Bannon

Posted on 06/02/2016 2:48:08 PM PDT by Nachum

With her campaign sinking in the polls, Hillary Clinton has launched a desperate attack against Trump University to deflect attention away from her deep involvement with a controversial for-profit college that made the Clintons millions, even as the school faced serious legal scrutiny and criminal investigations.

In April 2015, Bill Clinton was forced to abruptly resign from his lucrative perch as honorary chancellor of Laureate Education, a for-profit college company. The reason for Clinton’s immediate departure: Clinton Cash revealed, and Bloomberg confirmed, that Laureate funneled Bill Clinton $16.46 million over five years while Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. pumped at least $55 million to a group run by Laureate’s founder and chairman, Douglas Becker, a man with strong ties to the Clinton Global Initiative. Laureate has donated between $1 million and $5 million (donations are reported in ranges, not exact amounts) to the Clinton Foundation. Progressive billionaire George Soros is also a Laureate financial backer.

As the Washington Post reports, “Laureate has stirred controversy throughout Latin America, where it derives two-thirds of its revenue.” During Bill Clinton’s tenure as Laureate’s chancellor, the school spent over $200 million a year on aggressive telemarketing, flashy Internet banner ads, and billboards designed to lure often unprepared students from impoverished countries to enroll in its for-profit classes. The goal: get as many students, regardless of skill level, signed up and paying tuition.

“I meet people all the time who transfer here when they flunk out elsewhere,” agronomy student Arturo Bisono, 25, told the Post. “This has become the place you go when no one else will accept you.”

* Did anyone notice Soro's name?
* Does anyone remember the other day the writer from Huff-Po Frank Huguenard's story on a RICO indictment is coming centered around the Clinton Foundation?
* It would be music to my ears to hear Soro's is a Co-Conspirator in this dragnet....

“They give the foundation one to five million. Then the “school” gives Bill sixteen million.”


No, you missed a critical step.

1. They (really Douglas Becker) give the foundation 1-5 million bucks. FYI, Becker gets a tax deduction for doing so.

2. The United States Department of State, whose Secretary at the time was one Hillary Clinton, then paid the university $55 million.

3. THEN the university paid Billy about $16 million.

So what we have here is a rich and connected fellow who decided to cash in with some corrupt people that he knew, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!! He paid $5 million maximum, and kept about $39 million (with the other $16 million being deductible.

Donald Trump should run absolutely WILD with this. This makes pretty much EVERYTHING else that the Clintons have done look squeaky-clean in comparison.

This Becker character needs to be investigated by the IRS, as well as the DoJ for fraud. We’ll have to wait for a new AG, under President Trump, for this to happen.

One more thing.... 16.46/55 =’s 29.9% or 30% if I did my math rite. I thought on the Soprano’s they only skimmed 20% off the top! Man, what a “Vig”! These Arkansas grifter’s are better than Jersey Mobsters!

Bill Clinton bagged?????? Really????

Who the heck writes these headlines??? Maybe I just have a dirty mind, but the slang of a man bagging is not something the Clintons want to talk about.

There is no way Hillary is going to debate Trump.

She’s a robot LOSER who can only read from a TelePrompTer.

He’s a an intelligent articulate WINNER.

I would suspect Trump’s research team is the one who actually put this together.

Now it can be used to club Hillary, given her stupid raising of “Trump University.”

Need to get the presstitutes talking about it for this to make any sort of a splash/difference.

Rush is certainly on the money with his characterization of the Clintons as a crime family is he not?
