Grifters-in-Chief
The Clintons don’t draw lines between their ‘charity’ and personal enrichment.
Kimberley A. Strassel
In an election season that has been full of surprises, let’s hope the electorate understands that there is at least one thing of which it can be certain: A Hillary Clinton presidency will be built, from the ground up, on self-dealing, crony favors, and an utter disregard for the law.
This isn’t a guess. It is spelled out, in black and white, in the latest bombshell revelation from WikiLeaks. It comes in the form of a memo written in 2011 by longtime Clinton errand boy Doug Band, who for years worked simultaneously at the Clinton Foundation and at the head of his lucrative consulting business, Teneo.
It is astonishingly detailed proof that the Clintons do not draw any lines between their “charitable” work, their political activity, their government jobs or (and most important) their personal enrichment. Every other American is expected to keep these pursuits separate, as required by tax law, anticorruption law and campaign-finance law. For the Clintons, it is all one and the same—the rules be damned.
The memo came near the end of a 2011 review by law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett into Clinton Foundation practices. Chelsea Clinton had grown concerned about the audacious mixing of public and private, and the review was designed to ensure that the foundation didn’t lose its charitable tax status. Mr. Band, Teneo boss and epicenter of what he calls “ Bill Clinton, Inc.,” clearly felt under assault and was eager to brag up the ways in which his business had concurrently benefited the foundation, Clinton political causes and the Clinton bank account. The memoed result is a remarkably candid look at the sleazy inner workings of the Clinton grifters-in-chief.
The cross-pollination is flagrant, ..

My guess is the Obama’s are sitting back smiling. Just wait till you see the haul that they get. IMHO.
I’’m this close to canceling the WSJ subscription except for the few in the opinion desk. The reporters are liberal hacks or establishment elitists at best.
More like Bonnie and Clyde...

If the ‘Grifters’ retake the White House, I will cancel the WSJ subscription, as they are responsible for backing them.
Yep. The two most successful grifters in history.
For the Clintons, public service is them being served by the public. Nice job on the poster by the way. And as an aside, I wonder if Michell will be able to get rid of the stench of Hillary now that she has embraced her?
Anticipate the Obama Foundation with Michelle as Secretary of something... They get huge fees for speaking engagements with the promise that she will run for POTUS when HRC is done... Then it will be Chelsea’s turn and on we go for the next 32 years... Nothing to see here just move along.
I thought the WSJ was for Team Clinton.
Has it all become too obvious to ignore?
Its in the WSJ now.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
From WSJ comments:
“Hillary ‘16: Give Crone Capitalism a Chance”
(and that’s not a misspelling).

A nice find!
It has come to a point where ALL of them are sons of the Bi**h!
The New York Times does not care if Clinton is a grifter. The Washington Post does not care if Clinton is a grifter. Bob Schieffer does not care if Clinton is a grifter. Andrea Mitchell does not care if Clinton is a grifter. Wolf Blitzer does not care if Clinton is a grifter. (Weird: every time I spelled “grifter,” spell-check changed it to “grafter,” and I had to manually fix it, and it remains underlined as an error after I fix it. “Grifter” is a legit word, and has been so for decades.)
