All the behind-the-scenes data (that she tried to keep hidden from taxpayers) indicates the only thing she WAS on top of was any and all State Dept insider info on which she and Bill could make a buck. Some enterprising reporter itching for a Pulitzer needs to match-up Hillary's official State Dept moves w/ the Clintons' vast buck-raking operation. That tell$ the whole $tory in exqui$ite detail.
===============================================
REFERENCE---At first glance, the Clintons astounding honoraria and humongous Foundation donations seem to provide the bulk of the couples mega income.
Bills honoraria increased dramatically earning some $50 million during Hillarys four-year term as Secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.
The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day!
===============================================
I firmly believe the Clinton Foundations gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealthââand the way they make billions sub rosa-âintertwining their vaunted âdo-goodismâ and public office.
The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities. All of that is kept under wraps. Very little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillaryâs non-speech business interests.
Reports keep surfacing indicating the Clintons were party to multi-billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...Libyan oil deals....telecom businesses, deals w/ financial powerhouses like Teneo, Goldman Sachs.....etc etc etc.
THE CON ARTIST CLINTONS GRABBED EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN-âLucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ the Foundations âdo-goodâ activities....enabled by Hillaryâs catbird seat at the State Dept.
At last count, the Clintons apparently raised an astounding $2 billion from their foundation activities and their political campaigns.....
.....does not include monies flowing in from the various lucrative business ventures, interest accrued, safe deposit boxes, real estate assets, passive income on which they pay no taxes, income from Chelseas hubbys hedge fund, monies invested in Goldman Sachs, interest in financial powerhouse Teneo..... etc etc etc.......
The Clintons are worth a bundle.....accumulated in record time. Their livelihood was collected as they marched through American politics.

It's no coincidence that ex-pres Bill is doing bigtime money laundering deals w/ a Canadian mining mogul--Frank Giustra.
We could safely conclude that Canadian money-laundering came about while ex-pres Bill was dodging the draft during the Vietnam War.....hanging out in Canada.
Ever the opportunist, ex-pres Bill discovered that Canada has strict privacy laws, which allowed the Clinton Foundation to accept money laundered through their Canadian operation, with little or no transparency about the actual donors. Read on.
==============================================
All of the Clinton Foundation donors have faced intense media scrutiny, particularly Canada-based mining mogul Frank Giustra; Giustra is a mega Clinton Foundation donor and personal friend of Bill Clinton, and was scrutinized for business deals that critics said were linked to his donations to the charity. Giustra is a member of Mr. Clintons inner circle, joining him on global trips and lending Clinton the use of Giustras private MD-87 jet.
Giustra even received tax dollars from Hillarys State Dept. Giustra is one of the Clinton Foundations largest donors. Giustra's $100 million contributions go directly:
<><> (1) to the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation, and,
<><> (2) to the Canada-based "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership."
The "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership" in turn sends money to the Clinton Foundation...(according to Canadian tax records researched by "Clinton Cash" author Schweizer).

INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS
<><> 181 Clinton Foundation donors lobbied Hillary's State Department for political favors.
<><> The Clinton Family Foundation and the Clinton Library received millions from Muslim Qatar, as well as donations from FIFA, the soccer organization now enmeshed in a bribery and corruption.
<><> The Clintons have a secret 'pass-through' company, WJC, LLC; Hillary's State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation.
<><> The WSJ listed at least 60 companies that lobbied Hillary's State Department while she was there, companies donated a total of more than $26 million to the Clinton Foundation, while Hillary used the power of the US govt to perform political "favors" for the donors.
<><> FOREIGN Donations to the Clinton Foundation jumped 73% from 2013-14, when Hillary Clinton was preparing to run for the presidency. Foreign donations for presidents are illegal, but ex-pres Bill Clinton had no problem receiving donations from Communist China while he was president.
=============================================
There are plenty of shady dealings between the Clinton Foundation and its foreign donors that relied on Hillary Clinton for favors. How shady? The Charity Navigator, a nonpartisan organization that provides information on charities, placed the Clinton Foundation on its Watchlist, due to its "atypical business model."
Is the Clinton Foundation a fraud? They acknowledge over $2 BILLION dollars income......but IMHO that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Maybe that's why the Clintons have such a hard time remembering to accurately file their TAXES, because they have a lot to hide.
The Clintons Colombian connection: a secret investment fund (11/27/15--NYPost Ed)
Even as 2016 Hillary Clinton is upping her anti-Wall Street rhetoric, here comes word that the Clinton Foundation is running a private-equity company down in Colombia. The private-equity field is where Mitt Romney earned his fortune â and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of negative ads from the Obama campaign back in 2008.
The Clinton Foundationâs Bogota-based firm, Fondo Acceso, was started in 2010 by Bill Clinton, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim and mining magnate Frank Giustra, with seed funding of $20 million from the foundationâs Clinton-Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative and the SLIM Foundation, the Washington Free Beacon reports.
Anything to hide here? Well, Fondo Acceso took down its Web site once the Beacon broke the story. And the venture wasnât even registered as a private equity fund in Colombia, thereby skirting government oversight. A good move for an investment firm linked to the US secretary of state.
Ken Boehm, a watchdog with the National Legal and Policy Center, notes, âAt the minimum, the Clinton Foundation should disclose every company that received investment funds from them, because the tax-paying public is entitled to know whether those money-making companies benefited from any State Department foreign-aid programs using their tax dollars.â
Not to mention the ethical murk of having two Clinton connected charities co-own an investment fund in a developing dirt-poor nation (that is throwing its sick, infected, poverty-stricken natives over the US border to ride the US gravy train).
Especially when one of those charities is the Clinton family nonprofit---- that includes a presidential candidate who has raised tens of millions from the financial sector sheâs promising to reform.
Does Hillary Clinton have a nonhypocritical bone in her body?
