Wow took that guy a long time to put two and two together. They have $200mm but never worked, invested, invented or owned. They’re as rich as Mitt Romney and never risked a nickel, don’t have an hour of sweat equity.

$625,000 in one day. Not bad.

My income for the first 30 years of my adult life combined was less than that.

I read about it when he became VP.

The Clintons COULD charge rent, but they do not, for their Secret Service detail’s space.

Terry Mc Cauliffe helped with their mortgage or lent them the money or somesuch. Now he’s in charge of Virginia and finding new votes for Hillary.

What you do is build an earthen berm that’s two feet tall and then put your six foot tall fence on top of it.

“...was the price of the property consistent with their declared income at the time?”

They bought it when Hillary says they were “dead broke,” right after their tenure in the White House.

They sure aren’t dead broke now. So I’m thinking that the $600,000 house they (quite likely) bought for Bernie Sanders was chump change, and well worth it to make him go away.

Not only are the Clintons selling themselves, they’re in the position to buy off anybody else who’s willing.

I found the address (which is public domain).

15 Old House Lane
Chappaqua, New York

And Zillow says it’s currently worth $1,716,072.00

Sadly, he is my governor. The only good news is that our governors cannot serve consecutive terms.

It is said that only 10% of the Foundation actually makes its way to charity. The rest is used by the Clintons.

Clearly the $s per speech is just a diversion to the real issues... the great unwashed might be tempted to think that such fees (while outrageous in terms of the size) might be the norm for those who were once in positions such as they held. This would then tend to allow them to think “of course they are wealthy, have you seen the size of their speaking fees”? A quick survey and bit of math would conclude that their income didn’t just get derived from speeches. That then quickly takes one down the path of “so if it wasn’t the speech they were paying for, where did all their wealth come from?” This isn’t just about unethical behaviour, crooked business dealings and pay for play on unbelievable scale, this is about something else that the liberal media doesn’t want to admit..... treason.

Of course they did not take one time of Clinton Foundation money, they took 9 dimes out of every 10.

The last I heard, the Clinton’s got their Chapaqua mansion in the first place via a gift mortgage from their really really good friend, the current Governor of Virginia, a long time crony and Clinton operative who guaranteed their loan. McAuliffe is a piece of work whose entire business career has been a little shady on the ethics side, but hey, it’s part of the Clinton way,
. McAuliffe told The New York Times in 1999, “I’ve met all of my business contacts through politics. It’s all interrelated.” No kidding.

Why was McAuliffe so willing to guarantee the loan to a couple who were ‘dead broke’ coming out of the White House. Well, they had a really clever plan for the government to pay off their mortgage. That’s right, the taxpayers pay for the mansion.

Here’s how it works. President Clinton is entitled to Secret Service protection. The mansion has a separate servant’s quarters on the property. The Clintons charge the Secret Service enough money to pay off the mortgage so they can live there part time for free. It must be nice to be a U.S. politico with all the perks you can gouge out of the taxpayers.
