NBC's Chelsea Clinton Gets $75,000 Per Speech From Clinton Foundation

Following the stunning revelation last month that NBC News had paid special correspondent Chelsea Clinton a starting annual salary of $600,000, on Wednesday, the New York Times reported that the former first daughter was also getting paid $75,000 per appearance by the Clinton Foundation. Conflict of interest anyone?

Clinton spokesman Kamyl Bazbaz assured the Times that "100 percent of the fees are remitted directly to the foundation." So the money goes back into the foundation run by her and her family.

A calculation by Business Insider concluded that given Chelsea's limited air time on NBC, she made over $26,000 per minute for her occasional reporting on the network.

Nothing to see here. Now p*ss off.

It’s how liberals reward other liberals.

and then donates $75,000 back to Clinton Foundation ?

[Dr. Thorne]

Any ahole who pays this simp $75K deserves to be fleeced by Bogus Bill, Hellary and Webb Hubble’s kid.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Good. The country needs constant reminders ow what total, money-grubbing grifters the Clintons are. All the MSM puff pieces in the world aren’t going to be able to cover that up.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Why are we seeing so many negative stories about the Clintons in the media recently?

Does someone not want to see the Clintons back in the White House????

600K a year, 75K a speech ... one speech a year, 525K in mama's coffer.

Don' le' me down, Fancy ...

It’s protection money based on the possibility of POTUS Hillary.

If Faucahontas sneaks in and steals the kishka like Baraq did in 2008, Chels will be giving speeches for a hundred bucks at the local Planned Parenthood convention.

Sounds like money laundering...

[nascarnation]

I think most of the journ-0-lists are in consort with the Chicago Mob. This indicates to me that the mob is planning another takedown of the Clinton Crime Family in 2016.

[lonestar]

She doesn't get $75 K FROM the foundation. Her fees go to the foundation...IIRC.

Tax dodge?

[dainbramaged]

What could she possibly have to say to anyone about anything of interest or importance?

[Jim Robinson]

Money laundering (Chinese laundry).

Just look at that photo of her.. Her real daddy is Howdy Doody.

[liberalh8ter]

That's how I read it as well. It's absurd and makes no sense whatsoever. This is accounting acrobatics.

[rfreedom4u]

I’m still waiting for a response from MSNBC. I offered to do Chelsea’s old job for the bargain salary of a mere $400,000 a year.
