What ever happened to that scandal that Rand Paul was talking about?

Hillary isn’t going to make it to the nomination. Hello Elizabeth Warren.

I think in my entire thirty year working career in defense I attended two off-site conferences. Numerous times I wrote proposals describing how the company would benefit from sending attendees to this or that symposium. I quoted contractual requirements that would be addressed and where we had no expertise. All were turned down.

For the most part even the most expensive cost about $1,000 to attend and $2,000 in other expenses not counting salary and time lost. How does one spend $9 attending conferences?

I’m not betting on the Injun. The Democrats have found a pattern that works for them, at least for the Saudi money that they bathe in. I look for someone we are not paying any attention to yet, someone we may not even notice until after the the first primaries.

Taking in foreign/corporate zillions while Hillary controlled State
Dept decisions is reprehensible. But what did the Clintons do w/ the
money once it was deposited the Foundation coffers? Can you say
money-laundering? ===========================================

ALL WE NEED TO KNOW: (1) The Clinton Foundation's do-goodism (2) aided and abetted by Bill Clinton's globe- trotting, (3) lucrative deals signed off by Hillary, and, (4) forced to refile tax returns.

YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS a billion dollar organization called Enron made all sorts of accounting and tax mistakes----its accounting firm collapsed. Enron's CFO went to jail b/c of numerous shady entities he established offshore. The CFO's wife also went to jail for signing falsified tax returns.

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

JUST ONE NOTORIOUS EXAMPLE---The Clinton Foundation got Millions from a Russian who trades with Iran: Victor Pinchuk owns the EastOne Group investing company and the Interpipe Group. He is the second richest man in Ukraine AND the largest individual donor to the Clinton Foundation......the Foundation spinoff "The Clinton Global Initiative" received millions from Pinchuk while Hillary was Secy of State.

New Yorker magazine confirms Bill Clinton pocketed $500,000 for a speech in Moscow that was paid for by “a Russian investment bank" that had ties to the Kremlin” at the time of the lucrative Uranium One deal.

<><> Was Uranium One corporate money ever deposited offshore?

<><> In Russian banks? Maybe Sberbank or Vnesheconombank?

<><> Maybe funneled from there to secret numbered accounts in Zurich and Geneva?

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

<><> Maybe deposits in secret accounts held by Obama?

We peons are asked to believe that Obama was on the golf course when foreign policy decisions were being made......looking like he "didn't know" about all these radical changes in foreign policy.

Heck, it wasn't b/c Valerie "forgot" to tell him.

<><> Maybe the deal was Obama pleading abject ignorance about US foreign policy being jerked around by the Clintons.......as long as he got his cut of the Clintons' foreign policy finagling?

Most of us, if we had $9 million in our pockets, might travel a bit, but would likely cut back on our workload so we could spend more time with loved ones. Hopefully we enjoy our work, but a significant reason most of us work is so we can provide for our loved ones. The Clintons seem to have no interest whatsoever in spending time with “loved ones” because they don’t have any. They are on an endless treadmill of wealth accumulation because they have no real love in their lives. (Bill might rent it by the hour.) They use money to buy power and control over other people, not to benefit anyone, loved or otherwise.

The 15% they have to give to charity is much less than the tax rate if they took the money directly. If we have learned anything from the early Obama administration it is that rich liberals don’t pay their taxes.

Well, actually it IS about helping people.

Specifically, Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea.

For the most part even the most expensive cost about $1,000 to attend and $2,000 in other expenses not counting salary and time lost.

One of our daughters was asked to deliver a paper (her Master's thesis) at the International Cognitive Science Symposium in Sydney, Australia several years ago. They would pay her expenses while there, but she had to cover her travel. She was honored, but hesitated to spend the money for airfare.

I told her, "Many of your classmates bought new cars after graduation. When they drove that car off the lot, the depreciation exceeded your costs to attend this conference. However, for the rest of your career, you will have "Delivered paper to 4th International Cognitive Science Symposium, Sydney, Aust." on your resume. Go for it!"

Friends in the airline industry came up with "Buddy Passes", so she spent a little over $700 in airfare. Bill & Hill would have flown on a friend's G650, then billed the Foundation $25,000 for the trip...each.
