I was reading this article, when Rush mentioned it on his show, lol. Enjoy.

The snowball just keeps getting bigger and bigger........

The offshore money those two have squirreled away make Arafat look like a piker.

Maybe.....

How many times has the name Clinton, and some financial chicanery crossed paths in the same sentence?

How many times have they slithered out of it?

The former president's possible decision to move away from Burkle ``is all tied up with the laws of appearance and the politics of perception,'' said Linda Fowler, professor of government at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.

How does Fowler know this? She's essentially saying there is no actual offshore income sheltering. Does she actually know this or is this just her wish?

Hillary Clinton's Senate financial-disclosure records only say that Bill Clinton's Yucaipa assets were valued at less than $2,002 in 2006, while he received between $1,202 and $3,500 in interest that year. In the 18 months between January 2006 and June 2007, the value of the assets grew to between $1,001 and $15,000, and Bill Clinton received between $6,002 and $17,500 in interest, according to financial records filed in connection with the senator's presidential candidacy.

Something's wacky there. 100-200% interest per annum? Not quite as good as cattle futures but good nonetheless.

“...the whole story doesn’t come out except in dribs and drabs.’’

Same goes for the story on the blue dress.

Capone was jailed.......these two will be found out.

[Brad from Tennessee]

That’s a good bet. It’s been proved Clinton/Gore and a number of Democrat congressmen received laundered campaign money from China and Indonesia in exchange for big favors. It follows that foreign powers and groups, aware of how corrupt that administration was, would also offer personal bribes. This money would have to be carefully hidden offshore.

We've only seen the tip of the iceberg. When the clintons went into the White House, they were too poor to tip a waitress. And when they came out, they had several billions stashed away in numbered Swiss accounts, from clinton's cut of the major drug cartels.

Plus they get maybe $150,000 for a speaking appearance, $10,000 for shaking someone's hand, and a similar amount for appearing next to them in a photo. And they never pay for anything. Someone in their entourage is always expected to pick up the tab.

I guess that I do not get myself all revved up that anything will ever be done legally with respect to the Clinton chicanery and habitual lawlessness. Bill and Hillary's records are replete with instances where, if it was you or I doing this we would be in SuperMax confinement for the next 20 years.

then the principle is hidden

life is as real as breathing....Our side won’t get the Clintons, their side will.....there is no honor among thieves

Or falsified.

DId anyone see the haggard photo of her highness on Drudge today? She should have gotten a facelift before running.
She is looking like the tired old hag that she really is.

If the MSM was really serious about taking the PIAPS out of the running, they should start running these kind of stories back to back. More interviews like what Gregory gave her this morning, where she comes off looking real bad and more stories about how the Clinton’s are involved in sheltered offshore investments and dirty campaign money still coming in.. More on all the money they are raking in.

I doubt this story gets much mileage, but it would be nice if the MSM really went after her. Of course Rush might be right, this is all a set-up for the “comeback kidette” story.

America, wake up, these two are garbage, send them packing and end the Clinton nightmare that has enveloped our country for over 15 years. Imagine an America without these two POS, America finally cutting out this cancer and moving on clean and healthy !

same thing

Bill Clinton has a financial stake in three investment entities registered in the Cayman Islands by Burkle’s Yucaipa Cos. LLC.
