"Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones" Hillary was just saying what about Trump University?

This article shows that Clinton received almost as much as the institution received in grant money! More relevant links:

“According to the Washington Post “Laureate is backed by several of the biggest names in finance, including Henry Kravis, George Soros, Steve Cohen and Paul Allen.” “

Why isn’t Obama redistributing all of their wealth like they are ours (which is much much less)?

From 2015:

“Moody’s Investors Service has further downgraded a seedy, George Soros-backed for-profit college chain with deep ties to both Bill and Hillary Clinton

Corruption on this scale is unprecedented in American politics, but what can the ordinary person do?

Americans knew in 1992 that the Clintons were corrupt, but the Democrat Party didn’t care.

Seems a little high, but maybe Bubba really threw himself into counseling the female students.

Hillary Clinton's campaign slogan is “Ready for Hillary!”

Its a very appropriate slogan

All the special interests that have donated 2 billion dollars to the Clinton Foundation and hundreds of millions to the Clintons for “speaking fees “ are more than ready for Hillary to become President and begin providing them with a handsome return on their investment

Laureate Education, is a for-profit education firm, of which President Clinton is a paid “honorary chancellor.”

It has some unusual practices.

<><> its students serve as telemarketers who pitch the school to prospective new students.

<><> It operates in at least three countries (Turkey, Mexico and Chile) where for-profit universities are illegal.

<><> FOB, Douglas Becker, runs the for-profit university, which engages Bill Clinton to give speeches several times a year.

<><> Based on Clinton’s fee scale, that works out to Bill getting perhaps $1 million a year from Laureate.

<><>On disclosure forms, Bill revealed only that he has been paid “more than $1,000” by Laureate. (Was this formfalsified?)

<><> Becker also runs a related nonprofit, International Youth Foundation, which coincidentally found its federal grant money “exploded” when Hillary became SoS.

<><> When Hillary became secretary of state (in 2009) and Bill became honorary chancellor, many of its grants came from the federal agency USAID, over which Hillary took control by “dramatically reducing” its independence.

(hat tip clinton Cash author--Schweizer).
