Bill Clinton on Foundation Troubles: 'I Just Work Here. I Don't Know.'

At a Clinton Global Initiative event in Marrakesh, former President Bill Clinton was asked why he isn't defending the Clinton Foundation from increased scrutiny. "I just work here," Clinton replied. "I don't know."

The extended question to Clinton came from billionaire Mo Ibrahim who said, "I opened the newspaper and I was shocked to see these attacks on the foundation."

The billionaire continued, "I didn't see anybody from the foundation standing up and really having a go at that. I don't know what your board members--I know my daughter [a board member], she's useless. Because you should have stand up and really take issue. What is this money for? What have you done with it? And that's what people should ask."

"I just work here," Clinton responded. "I don't know."

Now THAT’S the limit!

It ranks right up there with ‘What difference, at this point, does it make?”

ONCE UPON A TIME IN CLINTONLAND---the tale of the massively profitable transaction to buy uranium mines in Kazakhstan.

Philanthropist Bill Clinton and his Canadian pal, Frank Giustra, fly to Kazakhstan on Giustra's private jet named "Doing Good And Making A Buck On It."

Bill Clinton went to Kazahstan--during election time--a huge no-no in politics----with visions of $$$sugar plums dancing in his head. Clinton lavi$hly prai$ed the candidate, a dictator who won w/ 90% of the vote---an obviously rigged election.

<><> (1) the head of the Kazakhstan agency that oversees the country’s mining, said that Secy of State Hillary Clinton pressured Kazakh officials to sell uranium assets to Giustra’s firm, and,

<><> (2) Bill Clinton adviser Tim Phillips said Hillary would not meet with him until Kazakh officials agreed to Giustra’s nuclear deal.

Seems Secy of State Hillary never informed Obama that she was jerking around foreign policy WRT the sale of 50% of US uranium mine capacity----to a country dealing with Iran.

Barack, Bill, Hillary and Frank sob all the way to the bank.

The End.

I mean, it’s not like his name is on it...oh wait.

[VideoDoctor]

The Bull$hit artist has NO answer. That speaks for itself.

Bill, Never at a Loss for Words Clinton is silent? Do tell!

You know when he clams up it's necessarily on the advice of some other slick lawyer.

[atc23]

some other slick lawyer"

oh, wait, - - Clinton was disbarred and lost his law license for lying in court (hehehehe)

[catnipman]

Ah, the ol’ Sergeant Schultz Defense, hey?

I hope someone taped ‘ol Bill saying that. Would make a great political ad; splice in Hillary’s “What difference does it make?” as well.

[Drew68]

It ranks right up there with ‘What difference, at this point, does it make?”

He's right about that. No matter how many smoking guns they can link to the Clintons, come next November, Hillary still has 240 electoral votes locked up right out of the starting gate.

Years from now, long after Obama has left the White House, long after Hillary lost her second bid to be the Dem. Nominee, the story will be updated. We will discover that Bill Clinton, far from being Hillary ‘Biggest Cheerleader’, was in fact being paid an ‘acceptable amount of cash’ to help ruin her chances of being elected. The source of this cash was also one of Obama’a highest level financers.

Great minds think alike.

Maybe off topic, but. Bill Clinton looks and sounds terrible recently. I know he had heart surgery years ago. I think he is 68 years old? He has not aged well.

He runs this foundation but he doesn’t know what’s going on with his own foundstion? Does he really enjoy insulting our intelligence????

[mosaicwolf]

Watching Bill Clinton during the interview with I think (NBC?) he sounded and looked like he is in the early stages of dementia. But then again, maybe that will be his defense when criminal charges are eventually filed.

[kevkrom]

Anyone know what Bill’s definition of “work” is?

Mentoring interns.

[Kickass Conservative]

I wonder if they have Interns on Pedophile Island?

[kevkrom]

That might just be the junior intern training program.
