The Clinton Global Initiative meeting was hosted by the Moroccan King; oligarchs and corporate titans mingled amid palm trees, swimming pools and dazzling tiled courtyards. Clinton's mega-rich traveling delegation are big buck foundation donors and donors to Hillarys campaign. They were chauffeured to an opulent 56-room palace overlooking the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and served a fine-dining menu of biolight cuisine. Chelsea Clinton moderated a discussion on "womens empowerment" w/ the only male panelist: Morocco billionaire, Othman Benjelloun, whose BMCE Bank is a million dollar meeting sponsor.
The Moroccan lavishness was a long way from Hillarys campaign-trail visits to a low-rent Chipotle. The luxe week in Morocco highlighted question facing the Clintons: What to do with Bill? No other candidate has a spouse who is a former president w/ sprawling global charitable ventures rife with potential conflicts of interest whose common touch propelled his rise but who now charges up to $500,000 to give a speech.
Last April, Bill Clinton looked up at a TV in his midtown Manhattan office and saw the grainy security-camera photo of Hillary and Huma Abedin, at a Chipotle in Ohio, in dark sunglasses. He wondered aloud, What are she and Huma doing? Robbing that place?

The NY Post reports the Univision speech could be part of a strategy with Univision owner, Israeli Haim Saban, to deliver these votes to Hillary. Saban, a billionaire entertainment mogul, is also hosting Hollywood fund-raisers for Hillary in LA.
TIT FOR TAT Bill does the paid speech for Haim and Haim helps deal with the critical Hispanic audience for Hillary.
Other says the incentive for Bill to appear at the Univision event is his need to get visibility after the barrage of unfavorable publicity.
==================================================
WIKI---Latino Univision owner, Haim Saban described his formula to influence American politics: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.[22]
Saban became involved in politics in the mid-1990s when he felt that support for Israel was slipping in the United States.[5]
Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the United States Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings. Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors.[23] Amy Paris noted that Saban's Clinton-era "generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, the entertainment executive served on the President's Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues."[23]
The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife "slept in the White House several times during President Clinton's two terms." Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a "very good friend and supporter."[5] Saban contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.[24]
During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500.[23] Matthew Yglesias wrote that "Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 20012002 cycle." [25] Saban's donations during that 20012002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.
In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: "I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation's work, particularly on reconciliation issues."[5] In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.[20]
In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation.[26] According to the Los Angeles Times,[26] the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.
In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major Jewish donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to "keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries."[27] The donors, who "were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign", "were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party 'superdelegates' should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate."[27] The letter to Pelosi stated the donors "have been strong supporters of the DCCC" and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.
On May 19, 2008, it was reported that Haim Saban had "offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization's two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat."[28]
Saban, a long-time supporter and donor of many pro-Jewish and Israel causes, has stated his main goal in multiple interviews: "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel."[38]
Haim Saban, a worldwide pioneer and leader in the
entertainment industry, is the Chairman and CEO of
Saban Capital Group, Inc.

He’s not been looking very healthy lately. If he were to end up in Fort Marcy Park, she’d pull the sympathy vote and not have to worry about little interns.
Not that I’d wish ill of him.
“Last April, Bill Clinton looked up at a TV in his midtown Manhattan office and saw the grainy security-camera photo of Hillary and Huma Abedin, at a Chipotle in Ohio, in dark sunglasses. He wondered aloud, What are she and Huma doing? Robbing that place?”
Now that’s both funny and true!
He looks worried----he wont have much to do when that Ponzi Foundation of his comes crashing down.
When he finally went to jail, investigators found Ponzi king, Bernie Madoff, had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that was structured to look like a system of checks and balances.
Madoff got away with his scheme for some 25 years. Although he was jailed for running a Ponzi, Madoff's main purpose was helping billionaire tax-exempt foundations launder money and evade taxes.
As I've posted earlier---the problem is not how much they're taking in--its what the Clintons do w/ the billions once deposited in their tax-exempt foundation.
Clinton's MO is to travel the globe..... his secret accounts are everywhere.
The HillBilly losers.
I hope and pray neither Billy Jeff nor Jimmy Peanut die before the 2016 election. Not ready for another Wellstone moment.
As a widow she would win big time
OHHHH Monica!!!!! pick up the red phone!!!!!
Well he's still around, so Hillary must find him useful somehow...
The Left will love him. They already do. The more he preys on the White House staff, the more delighted they will be.
