Politico: Taxpayers funded Clinton Foundation staff

Say, how is Clinton nostalgia working out for Democrats these days? Some of them may long for the days when Clintonian freeloading meant stealing furniture from the White House. That amounted to chump change compared to the millions received by the Clintons in the years since they loaded up the moving van at the end of Bill Clinton’s presidency. That comes to over $16 million, according to an analysis by Politico’s Kenneth Vogel, and includes cash that has gone into salaries for staffers at the Clinton Foundation:

Multiple sources familiar with Clinton’s funding say the special federal money has supplemented the salaries of some employees of the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation, a global nonprofit that has served as Hillary Clinton’s primary platform as she prepares for a presidential campaign expected to launch in coming weeks.

Critics for years have questioned why taxpayers need to support former presidents when they and their families can reap huge paydays, like the then-record $15 million book advance paid to Clinton for his 2004 memoir. But scrutiny of the act — and of the vast financial empire built by the Clintons — is poised to intensify as questions mount about the family’s commingling of personal, political, government and foundation business. …

Of the $16 million requested under the former presidents fund, nearly $3 million has been slated for staff salary and benefits, according to GSA budgeting documents.

I hope when hillary finally goes down, she’ll take a lot of other Democrats with her.

And if something isn’t done to stop this nonsense, the Obamas will make the Clintons look like pikers.

The way the liberal media has been going after her lately, it makes me wonder if they prefer someone else as a Democrat nominee. Probably Elizabeth Warren.

Just curious. Since they now know that the private server was not in upstate NY, but in downtown NY City. What building in downtown NY City is the foundation based out of? The guy off Greta last night says it’s a gov’t leased building in Manhattan that he’s traced the IP to. I have this feeling....it’s in a foundation facility. This really starts to smell bad, if true.

Wow. I don’t understand what is taking so long to get to the bottom of this. If it was Criminal Minds, they could locate it immediately!
