CIRCA 2014--WASH/PO By Rosalind S. Helderman and Philip Rucker
Plans for UCLA visit give rare glimpse into Hillary Clinton’s paid speaking career.....she was paid $300,000 to speak to UCLA students and faculty in March. (UCLA) When officials at the University of California at Los Angeles began negotiating a $300,000 speech appearance by Hillary Rodham Clinton, the school had one request: Could we get a reduced rate for public universities? The answer from Clinton’s representatives: $300,000 is the “special university rate.”
That e-mail exchange and other internal communications, obtained this week by The Washington Post under a Freedom of Information Act request, provide a rare glimpse into the complex and meticulous backstage efforts to manage the likely 2016 presidential candidate’s lucrative speaking career.
At UCLA, efforts to book Clinton and then prepare for her visit were all-consuming, beginning almost immediately after she left her job as secretary of state on Feb. 1, 2013, until she delivered her Luskin Lecture for Thought Leadership speech on March 5, 2014.
The documents show that Clinton’s representatives at the Harry Walker Agency exerted considerable control over her appearance and managed even the smallest details — from requesting lemon wedges and water on stage to a computer, scanner, and a spread of hummus and crudité in the green room backstage.

Top university officials discussed at length the style and color of the executive armchairs Clinton and moderator Lynn Vavreck would sit in as they carried on a question-and-answer session, as well as the kind of pillows to be situated on each chair. Clinton’s representatives requested that the chairs be outfitted with two long, rectangular pillows — and that two cushions be kept backstage in case the chair was too deep and she needed additional back support.
After a lengthy call with a Clinton representative, UCLA administrator Patricia Lippert reported to campus colleagues, “She uses a lavalier [microphone] and will both speak from the audience and walk around stage, TED talk style. We need a teleprompter and 2-3 downstage scrolling monitors [for] her to read from.”
During a walk-through of Royce Hall five days before the lecture, the e-mails show, Clinton’s team rejected the podium planned for her use during her 20- to 30- minute speech, setting off a scramble on campus to find a suitable podium and rent a new university seal to match.
In the nearly two years since stepping down as secretary of state, Clinton has made dozens of paid appearances across the country at industry conventions and Wall Street banks as well as at universities. Her UCLA fee, like those at other universities, went to the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation, the family’s nonprofit group.
But critics have argued that the carefully staged events and high speaking fees could complicate Clinton’s ability to run a populist campaign built around the economic struggles of the middle class.
Versions of Clinton’s standard speaking contracts have surfaced publicly this year — including her luxury travel requirements — but the contracts do not contain the extensive detail seen in the UCLA communications.
It is unclear how personally involved Clinton was in the UCLA negotiations and whether the requests from her agency were being directed by her or merely from underlings anticipating her preferences. A Clinton spokesman declined to comment on the speaking arrangements.
It is commonplace for celebrity speakers to request special accommodations — and Clinton was no exception. Her representatives asked for a case of still water, room temperature, to be deposited stage right. They also asked that “a carafe of warm/hot water, coffee cup and saucer, pitcher of room temperature water, water glass, and lemon wedges” be situated both on a table on stage as well as in another room where Clinton would stand for photos with VIPs.
For the green room, Clinton’s representatives requested: “Coffee, tea, room temp sparkling and still water, diet ginger ale, crudité, hummus and sliced fruit.” They also asked for a computer, mouse and printer, as well as a scanner, which the university had to purchase for the occasion.
When university officials decided to award Clinton the UCLA Medal, Clinton’s team asked that it be presented to her in a box rather than draped around her neck. That request was sent to the university’s chancellor, Gene Block.
“Chancellor Block has agreed to accommodate Hillary Clinton’s request to have the medal presented in a box,” Assistant Provost Margaret Leal-Sotelo wrote in one e-mail.
Lippert replied: “I can either have the jewelers box open or closed, in case the Chancellor doesn’t want to risk opening it.” By contract, Clinton’s approval was needed for any promotional materials. Clinton gave permission for the university to record the event, but “for archival purposes only.”
For public distribution, Clinton’s speaking agency approved only a two-minute highlight video to upload to YouTube. “Please make sure it is available only for one (1) year from the date of posting,” a Harry Walker Agency official added.
Clinton posed for individual photos with 100 VIPS, or 50 couples — “We get a total of 50 clicks,” one university official explained — as well as two group photos. Lippert wrote to colleagues that Clinton’s representatives wanted the group shots “prestaged,” with participants assembled and ready to take the photographs before Clinton arrived “so the secretary isn’t waiting for these folks to get their act together.” Reiterating the request, Lippert added, “She doesn’t like to stand around waiting for people.”
Like many major universities, UCLA regularly pays high-profile speakers to visit campus. Many of the visits are funded through a private endowment and not with tuition or public dollars. Clinton’s appearance was privately funded as part of a lecture series endowed by Meyer Luskin, an investor and president of Scope Industries, a food waste recycling company.
Wow
Lots of material for the FBI to sort through.
With Clintons it’s always pay to play. There is a secret deal behind every one of these speeches.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST!!! Anyone one of us who would have a city state or federal job would be fired immediately. Making personal money off of your position within the agency is criminal. Why are we not prosecuting not only her but the rest of these cretans
A quater million for 20 minutes of “work”, yet we’ve never seen a transcript of the awe inspiring words from one of these magnificent speeches. I mean for that kind of money, the speech must be fantastic...
or its an elaborate way for banks, businesses, and other institutions to funnel protection money to the Clintons.
INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS---Let's examine the hydra-headed Cheryl Mills--<><>Hillary's COS, <><>her personal lawyer, <><>Clinton Foundation employee, <><>campaign factotum, and, <><> perennial govt parasite leftover from the Clinton admin.

FROM A BUSINESS WEB SITE: Blackivy Group LLC Industry Business Consulting Services Office Address 1361 Locust Rd Nw Washington, District of Columbia 20012-1325
Blackivy Group LLC is a small, fairly new business consulting company in Washington, DC. It opened in 2013 and now has an estimated $51,000 in yearly revenue and 1 employee.
Dollars to donuts the missing State Dept 6 billion is connected to Hillary's people.
Reading about Mills Black Ivy group “anchored” in two African cities one gets the impression of a small to medium corp.
Instead we find reported annual revenues of only $51k and one employee. Not enough to cover office, comms, payroll expense.
Straight up influence and bribery intermediary for Clintons
My thoughts too Who else could she send them to without someone getting suspicious.
It occurred to me the other day that Bubbas trips on the Evita Flights may not have been to seek sexual favors but to hunt for their own private island and/or deposit more money off shore. Yes he traveled on the jet, where did it stop ?
Certain people in a SC gov-co agency were extremely good at using their positions for blatant personal gain. Nothing ever happened to them.
Royal privilege.
Don't worry, their own foundations, trusts, NGO's, slush funds and pockets got their fair share. However being mere earls and barons they can be bought much cheaper.

REFERENCE---The Clintons honeymooned in Haiti....the opportunities for corruption in the Papa Doc Duvalier era of untold corruption were massive. The dirt on Haiti and the Clintons is monumental.
Secy Hillary poured billions of our tax dollars into Haiti as Bill put on his "do-good" act.
The Week reported: "More than $10 billion was donated to rebuild Haiti after Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, some of it to the Clinton Foundation, the charitable organization sponsored by former President Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. But protesters at the Foundation’s Harlem offices say the money was wildly mismanaged and did not provide the relief Haitians desperately needed. "Only 900 homes were built, and they were not even built in the area where the earthquake took place,” said Ricot Dupuy of Radio Soleil. “So much inconsistency, so much irregularity.” A Haitian Activists Against Hillary 2016 page was recently taken down by Facebook.
==============================================
In some mountain villages there's no electricity (maybe generators for a few hours), no water, no septic, etc. - but dirt-poor Haiti does have cell-phone coverage. And if you read the countless self-serving stories of Clinton "do-goodism" in Haiti....he is invariably standing before a Digicel sign.
On the far left is Digicel's CEO. He's about to make hundreds of millions of dollars. And so are the Clintons
EXCERPT Free Beacon May 2015--- The Clintons have been working with Digicel CEO Denis O’Brien in Haiti since 2010, in the wake of the disastrous earthquake. Bill Clinton and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been active players in the country before the quake, but would assume almost total managerial control over the recovery effort via the State Department and the Clinton Foundation.
As Peter Schweizer documents in Clinton Cash, Digicel received millions in U.S. tax dollars from USAID, an agency overseen by the State Department, as part of the Haiti Mobile Money Initiative. The program was designed to establish a mobile money-transfer system that would allow individuals to send donations directly to friends and relatives in Haiti.
Digicel was also tapped by the USAID Food for Peace program, which was under the direct control of Hillary Clinton’s top aide Cheryl Mills, to administer money transfers over its mobile network. Haitians received cell phones and a free Digicel account; Digicel received grants courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, collected millions in fees from Haitians every time they used the system, and significantly expanded its user base.
By 2012, Digicel had captured nearly 80 percent of the Haitian mobile phone market, and Haiti had surpassed Jamaica as the company’s most profitable market. Revenues were up 14 percent compared to 2011, and Digicel’s subscriber base increased by almost 30 percent during that period.
O’Brien, who holds a 94 percent stake in the privately owned firm, continued to rake in cash. In 2014 alone, O’Brien awarded himself $650 million worth of dividends.

That was my thought too. Everyone just assumes it was sexual because of his reputation. Regardless they certainly know how to work the system.
Hillary laughing about a 12 year old rape victim, and how clever she was to get the rapist off with 2 months “time served.”

If she doesn’t watch it, she going to end up like Mrs. Ceaucescu.
Blackmale...heh, I see what you did there ;-)
Doesn’t add up that Mills as a US govt employee, touts herself as a bigtime developer, unless there’s Big money not being accounted for.
Did Mills falsify BlackIvy documents? The preferred criminal MO to cover-up larger crimes is falsification of official documents.
The Obama factor also surfaces——Sub-Sahara Africans are pouring into the US. He had to have given the OK to Rodriguez over at USCIS to issue the visas.
