Clinton Foundation shook down supermodel’s charity

By Aaron Short

The Clinton Foundation shook down a charity run by supermodel Petra Nemcova for a $500,000 donation before Bill Clinton would agree to speak at its annual gala last year in Manhattan, according to a report today. The former president received a “lifetime achievement award” at the June 2014 Happy Hearts fundraiser at Cipriani 42nd Street. The charity’s former director told The New York Times that Clinton appearance was a result of a “quid pro quo” — meaning the $500,000 payment. “The Clinton Foundation had rejected the Happy Hearts Fund invitation more than once, until there was a thinly veiled solicitation and then the offer of an honorarium,” former charity director Sue Veres Royal said.

He looks like hell. Cadaverous.

Why would any charity, any organization, any entity or any person think his speaking is worth $500K? Lifetime achievement??? Seriously???

When donors learn where their money is going, they may cut back on contributions to that charity. I surely would.

She doesn’t look like Bill’s type.
Even though, I suspect Hillary is reloading her ashtray.

It might be sooner than a few decades, he don’t look too good in that photo. I guess being married to Hitlery will do that.

Yes I see what you are saying, it’s a quid pro quo. But what makes it slimy is he is taking money from a charity, or diverting it I guess to his. Plus an lifetime achievement award? For what? That is especially slimy, having ego stroked.

If you were running a criminal enterprise who would you hire to replace you? You certainly wouldn’t hire a boy scout. (Intended to mean what boy scouts once were, not what they are becoming now.)

Well, this is the first donation to the fund that didn’t violate a law, as far as I’ve heard. It’s just disgusting, but not illegal.

Did the honorarium go to the charity or to him?

Usually it goes to the speaker.

Usually a charity brings in a top named individual to help raise $$$ for their charity...that person may get an honorarium. ..but not at the going rate. Clinton is scum.
