Leonardo DiCaprio Bows Out of Hillary Clinton Fundraiser
Breitbart ^ | 21 Aug 2016 | Daniel Nussbaum

Posted on 08/22/2016 8:28:00 PM PDT by hole_n_one

Leonardo DiCaprio has backed out of a pricey fundraiser lunch for Hillary Clinton that the actor had been scheduled to host at his Los Angeles home this week. Pop star Justin Timberlake and his wife Jessica Biel will instead host the event at their home.

.......snip.........

But the timing of DiCaprio’s cancellation comes as the actor’s environmental-focused charitable organization, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, was linked to a $3 billion Malaysian embezzlement scheme in news reports last week. The foundation — which focuses on climate change initiatives and hosts a glitzy annual party for hundreds of A-list celebrities and dignitaries — is alleged to have received donations tied to money misappropriated from a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund that had been earmarked for development in the country.

Clinton campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin told the Hollywood Reporter that the implication that DiCaprio bowed out due to his foundation’s alleged connection to the Malaysian embezzlement scandal is “completely false.”

Somebody should send Leo a copy of the Clinton Death List. It’d be cheaper than a severed horse’s head.

The corruption and profligacy of their ilk is repulsive.

isn’t it strange that the same people who admonish us to pony up taxes ‘for the poor’ all have non-profit ‘foundations’ to hide their own wealth?

That was so sweet of a Clinton spokesperson to say that it was "completely false".

Who cares what HER spokesperson says?

Ask Leo!

“Justin Timberlake and his wife Jessica Biel”

I'm sure if anyone asked them they would say “Trump is insane, therefore we can justify voting for a pathological liar and felon”

I’m not sure, but I think I saw her motorcade go down Sunset Blvd about 2 hours ago. Had a phalanx of motorcycle cops around it, they stopped up the intersection at Sunset Plaza so the white vans and limos could cruise through... I said to my friend (we were dining) “I bet that’s Hillary.”

CLINTON CAMPAIGN 2016
“Clinton campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin told the Hollywood Reporter that the implication that DiCaprio bowed out due to his foundation’s alleged connection to the Malaysian embezzlement scandal is completely ***false***.”

BJ CLINTON 1998
“But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are ***false***.”

SCHMILLARY 1998
“The great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president.”

Yup!

DiCaprio and his hot gf were just in an automobile accident. No mention of that in the article.
