Had he only donated half his money to the Clinton Foundation
he might still have the other half.

There are those who get rich off of our wars, but not the people who actually fight them. That just won’t do.

I personally didn’t put much stock in his account or book from the start. I doubt that it was Bin Laden that they killed at all. I think the whole raid was a publicity stunt and his account and book was to lend credence to the story.

He is a SEAL ... they all know Plan “A” never works, Plan “B” is a longshot ...
Lawyers cost $
My guess is that the Lawyer is already cashing checks from Plan “F” or Plan “G”
This guy will be alright in the end ... still needs to mend some fences though

Assassinated former Pakistani PM said OBL was dead decades ago. GWB then stopped hunting him down, like he hunted down Saddam Hussein in a cave !!!

Who gets the money?

Bingo! It either goes in to Barry's retirement fund or some muzzy pal of his in the Pentagon. Guarantee the US Treasury won't see it for very long.
