Clintons ran Tammany-like money operation (tactics rival infamous political machine)

...in his new book “Clinton Cash,” author Peter Schweizer reveals a scheme that would make Tamany blush with envy....Hillary using her secretary of state office to favor companies and foreign countries, which paid Bubba up to $500,000 for a speech...and/or made large contributions to the Clinton family foundation. Bill earned top-range windfalls---a staggering $48 million in speeches during Hillary’s four years at State. The "dead broke" Clintons in 2000 now have a net worth at between $100-200 million....

The gusher of money offers an explanation in which Hillary claimed to have deleted more than 30,000 e-mails from her private server. What did she know about money coming into the foundation? What did she know about who was paying her husband to speak? How much coordination was there? She claims the e-mails she deleted were purely personal, and her lawyer says the server was “wiped clean.” That’s not something that can ever be said about their reputation.

While both could legitimately command significant appearance fees, the soaring price of Bill's speeches offers compelling examples of a quid pro quo. And now she wants to be president to help “everyday Americans.” Imagine the cash that would generate!

My advice, Schweizer needs to invest in a bodyguard.

Judge Gladys Kessler of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ordered the State Department to produce passenger manifests from 47 overseas trips that Mrs. Clinton made as secretary of state. Citizens United requested the manifests last July through a Freedom of Information Act Request.

There seems to be a solid connection between:

(1) donors to the Clinton Foundation,

(2) companies receiving contracts from foreign countries, and,

(3) Clinton Foundation donors receiving favorable treatment from the State Dept.

<><> Sixty companies contributed $26 million to the Clinton Foundation.

<><> Forty four of those companies also contributed to a $3.2 billion dollar fund established at the Clinton Global Initiative (a wing of the foundation).

<><> At least 25 companies made contributions to fifteen private/public partnerships set up by ex-Pres Clinton;

And who administered all of them?.......the State Department w/ Hillary at the helm.

===========================================

Congress needs to launch multiple investigations into Hillary’s State Dept tenure including that of her confidantes:

<><> expense accounts,

<><> use of federal credit cards,

<><> their participation in the State Dept's disbursement of funds to "private contractors;"

<><>her possible collusion with the Clinton Foundation--using classified info as an instrument for fund-raising.

Hillary's official calendar, and her contact with foreign leaders. will tell the tale of donations to the foundation....and the Clintons profiteering off secret intel.

Tammany Hall was a third rate street hustle compared to the Clinton Crime Organization.

The only possible purpose for Hillary to have a private email system (which she "said" was in her Chappaqua residence) was to prevent federal record-keepers from archiving her emails by law..... and to prevent reporters, historians, and American citizens from knowing how and why the Clintons jerked around US foreign policy.

So what did Hillary do w/ US ntl security secrets?

"Smile everybody. Another $100 million came in today."

[Liz]

Amen.....the God’s honest truth.

[hoosiermama]

Anyone besides Citizens United demanding information or taking any action?

[antidisestablishment]

And the Clintons are pikers compared to the Obama administration—or at least those who bought and paid for this administration.

[FreeAtlanta]

They both need to see jail time and have a large chunk of their ill gotten gain confiscated. That would/will be good for our nation.

If public school “teachers” in Atlanta can be busted, so can the Clintons.

[hoosiermama]

Was O taking a cut of the action? Their agreement according to a report on FOX just now was that no foreign money be taken. When did O know?

[RayChuang88]

And we're talking amounts of money AND influence that would make William Magear "Boss" Tweed envious, too. If cartoonist Thomas Nast were alive today he would create cartoon after carton "roasting" the Clintons for money-grubbing.

[Liz]

They need to see jail time and a large chunk of their ill-gotten gain confiscated. If public school “teachers” in Atlanta can be busted, so can the Clintons.

G-r-e-a-t point.....use the Atlanta approach--RICO---to nail 'em.

So how did Atlanta educators get nailed under RICO?

Rhonda Cook one of the ace AJC reporters who bird-dogged the story reported: The 1980 Georgia General Assembly was concerned about “the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements,” so it adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law.

RICO is often used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, in the beginning, was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members.

But in recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to government officials accused of using their offices for personal gain---such as those named here---the various former and current Atlanta public school officials.

To bring a case under Georgia’s RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies — such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among others). RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the self-same indictment, and to charge that they were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.

I would not doubt it at all that she is collecting SS. What is OMB? I really what to read more about this.

[bray]

While they were vilifying the 1% they were raping the world.

Pray America is waking

[RayChuang88]

Incorrect. The Clintons have perfected graft and illegal influence on a scale we haven't seen since the Tammany Society days. And the Democratic Party is increasingly openly wondering do they have an alternative to Hillary Clinton because she is highly vulnerable to a scandal akin to what the Swift Boat Veterans did to then-Senator John Kerry.

[FreeAtlanta]

No kidding “shovel ready imaginary jobs”, trillion dollar stimulus, healthcare take over.

Obamagang is much more brazen than the Clinton crooks. We need these guys/gals to be prosecuted to prevent a even more brazen crime gang in the future.

Ted Cruz, will you prosecute the Obamas and Clintons?

[Liz]

OMB---Office of Management and Budget.

OMB oversees and coordinates procurement, financial management, information, and regulatory policies.....to help improve administrative management, to develop better performance measures and coordinating mechanisms, and to reduce any unnecessary burdens on the public.

The OMB manages other agencies' financials, paperwork, and IT.

[DeFault User]

I wonder if this somehow evolved into a contest between the Clintons and Algore?

More than a decade after losing his 2000 presidential bid, former Vice President Al Gore's fortunes have seemingly turned: Gore's net worth may now exceed $200 million, according to an analysis by Bloomberg News.

Or maybe it's just grifters of a feather flock together.

[Liz]

Obama's “shovel ready imaginary jobs”, trillion dollar stimulus, healthcare takeover.... is much more brazen.

ONCE UPON A TIME Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama and the Chicago con artists (a) took control of the US Census; (b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury.

PAUSE TO REFLECT--- OBAMA'S COS EMANUEL HAD TWO JOBS Obama had tight control of Treasury; Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama and the Chi/cons (a) took control of the US Census; Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (including the conservative-suppressing IRS). Read on.

==========================================

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials.

EXCERPT---FOURTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS Behind The Real Size of the Bailout; A guide to the abbreviations, acronyms, and obscure programs that make up the $14 trillion federal bailout of Wall Street

The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is popularly put at $700 billion—---the actual size of TARP--the Troubled Assets Relief Program. But TARP is just the best known program in an array of more than 30 overseen by Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that have paid out or put aside untraceable money to bail out financial firms and inject money into the markets.

To get a sense of the size of the real $14 trillion bailout, see MJ chart at web site. A guide to the pieces of the puzzle includes massive untraceable Treasury Department bailout programs.

Money Market Mutual Fund: In September 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel announced that it would insure the holdings of publicly offered money market mutual funds. According to the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), these guarantees could have potentially cost the federal government more than $3 trillion [PDF].

Public-Private Investment Fund: This joint Treasury-Federal Reserve program bought toxic assets from banks and brokerages—as much as $5 billion of assets per firm. According to SIGTARP, the government's potential exposure from the PPIF is between $500 million and $1 trillion [PDF].

TARP: As part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel made loans to or investments more than 750 banks and financial institutions. $650 billion has been paid out (not including HAMP; see below). As of December 21, 2009, $117.5 billion of that has been repaid.

Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) stock purchase: The Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel bought $200 million in preferred stock from Fannie Mae and another $200 million from Freddie Mac [PDF] to show that they "will remain viable entities critical to the functioning of the housing and mortgage markets."

GSE mortgage-backed securities purchase: Under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel may buy mortgage-backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. According to SIGTARP, these purchases could cost as much as $314 billion ---SNIP---
