Why not? Laureate Education paid Bill Clinton over $16 million between 2010-2014 to be an “honorary chancellor,” Jonathan Turley reminds us, even while the alleged diploma mill got repeatedly sued for fraud. Laureate Education even has a twist that Trump University does not — $55 million in State Department grants to another group run by Laureate’s founder during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, and while Bill got millions to be its front man.
So why isn’t the media pursuing both stories, Turley wonders?
Laureate Education has been sued over such programs as its Walden University Online offering, which many have alleged is a scam designed to bilk students of tens of thousands of dollars for degrees. Students says that they were repeatedly delayed and given added costs as they tried to secure degrees, leaving them deeply in debt.
The respected Inside Higher Education reported that Laureate Education paid Bill Clinton an obscene $16.5 million between 2010 and 2014 to serve as an honorary chancellor for Laureate International Universities. While Bill Clinton worked as the group’s pitchman, the State Department funneled $55 million to Laureate when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. That would seem a pretty major story but virtually no mainstream media outlet has reported it while running hundreds of stories on the Trump University scandal.
There was even a class action — like the Trump University scandal. Travis et al v. Walden University LLC, was filed in U.S. District Court in the District of Maryland but dismissed in 2015. It is not clear why it was dismissed. However, the size of the contract to Clinton, the payment from State and the widespread complaints over alleged fraud should warrant a modicum of attention to the controversy. The controversy has many of the familiar complaints over fraudulent online programs that take advantage of hard working people.
Both Bloomberg and Brietbart have reported on the State Department grants to Douglas Becker, as well as Bill’s huge personal haul from Becker’s Laureate. Both followed up from Peter Schweizer’s 2015 book Clinton Cash, which researched tax records to uncover the cash flow, a flow that “exploded” during Hillary’s tenure at State:
Does he not research before speaking?
This is conduit for BRIBES!!
Absolutely.
Look at ITT closing today. If a college loses the ability to get federally backed loans, it closes.
Pay Bill = money train continues.
“...Krauthammer tonight said there was no scandal surrounding Bill Clinton’s university...”
Every man has his price. IMHO, there is much pressure and politics in the FOX ranks. I think Greta leaving is the tip of the iceberg. Who knows who has their financial and political claws in Murdoch...
Google and you’ll find Murdoch is on the board of an open borders group.
Was also revealed in the last few days a Fox memo went out demanding anti-Trump. I’ll post if you can’t find it easily on the web.
“...Was also revealed in the last few days a Fox memo went out demanding anti-Trump....”
No surprise. They have been pounding the anti-Trump drum since day one. If you have the memo, please post. That should be interesting.
CNN tried to airbrush this story tonight...never mentioned the $55 million from State.
Another “Pay to Play” scheme by the Clinton’s. Who the hell gets paid to be an “honorary chancellor” of ANYTHING? (Sounds a bit like dirty money transferring into a phony charity)
I read a long story about this yesterday. What amazes me is how much corruption the Clintons have been able to get away with. I can’t figure out why no one even tries to stop them.
The news is all over the Bondi story, though.
