Hillary Clinton's for-profit university problem
CNN Money ^ | August 23, 2016 | Drew Griffin, Curt Devine and Scott Zamost

Posted on 08/23/2016 12:52:27 PM PDT by Leaning Right

After Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, Bill Clinton received $17.6 million in payments from a for-profit university. Since that time, another organization with a connection to that university received almost $90 million in grants from an agency that's part of the State Department.

The Hillary corruption stories just keep on coming, one after another. It's worth noting that this story was posted on a CNN website. And we all know how liberal CNN is.

It sure would be nice to see the story covered on CNN cable TV.

Now they can say they covered the story. Kinda like when the Juanita Broderick interview aired opposite the Grammies.

Yet, Hillary and her media lap dogs had the audacity to go after Trump and his university, while they made tens of millions off the dimwitted taxpayers and no one said a thing. Shameful.

That's the Clinton M.O. Throw so many scandals at you, of increasing audaciousness, and at such a frenzied pace, that eventually your processing abilities shut down, and you just throw your hands up and say "feh!"

I’ve wondered why Trump hasn’t pounded this one home. Maybe he will at some point.

I get that the media is ultra liberal and wants to help the liberal candidates. What I don’t get is how they can support Hillary. She is so corrupt and is such damaged goods. Surely they could have thrown their support behind someone more acceptable.

It was a kickback, plain and simple. Hillary’s State Department gives an organization 90 million taxpayer dollars and in return they funnel some of it back to Bill.

How's about a Clinton University look-see?

Laureate Education is a for-profit education firm; ex-Pres Clinton is a paid honorary chancellor. This organization has some unusual practices.

For instance, its students serve as telemarketers who pitch the school to prospective new students. It operates in at least three countries (Turkey, Mexico and Chile) where for-profit universities are illegal, Clinton Cash author Schweizer notes.

Douglas Becker (a FOB), runs the for-profit university, which engages Bill Clinton to give speeches several times a year. Based on Clintons gargantuan fee scale, that works out to Pres Bill getting perhaps $1 million a year from Laureate, Clinton Cash author Schweizer estimates.

(NOTE On falsified disclosure forms, Pres Bill revealed only that he has been paid more than $1,000 by Laureate.) Becker also runs a related nonprofit, International Youth Foundation, which coincidentally found its federal grant money has exploded (according to author Schweizer) since Hillary became secretary of state (in 2009) and Bill became honorary chancellor of Becker/s profit-seeking company.

Many of International Youth Foundation grants came from tax dollars---from a State Dept agency---USAID. Then SoS Hillary took official control of USAID, a move that dramatically reduced its independence, Clinton Cash author Schweizer says.

AND THIS--Bill Clinton Bagged $16.46 Million from For-Profit College as State Dept. Funneled $55 Million Back
Breitbart ^ | June 3, 2016 | Stephen Bannon / fr Posted by COUNTrecount

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. (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

Leads keep rolling in. Trump Train once in motion, it ain’t never slowing down. He is riding the rails across America opening all territory to be explored.

How apropos. Makes one believe in Atlas Shrugged.

Source is surpassing, but I’m assuming that CNN Money and plain old CNN might have different audiences, make this story somewhat safe to publish.
