Scandal: Hillary Clinton must be glad the election is only 11 days away, because every day we learn more about the depth of sleaze and corruption of the Clinton Foundation.

The Foundation has been under suspicion for more than a year for being a "pay to play" operation while Hillary was Secretary of State, in which governments and big wigs gave money to the Clinton's charity in exchange for access or favors from the State Department.

One of the defenses mounted against such criticisms is that the Clinton's never personally benefitted from the Clinton Foundation. "They get no money from it, they take no personal benefit from it," is how Clinton defender Hilary Rosen put it.

But now we know that this, too, is false.

A 13-page memo written in late 2011 by Douglas Band describes work he'd done to raise money for the foundation, and how he pushed foundation donors to cough up big bucks for Bill in addition to the money they gave his so-called charity. Band perfectly described this as "Bill Clinton Inc."

In one case, Band notes how his business partner, Declan Kelly, got financial services giant UBS to donate money to the foundation and "invite President Clinton to give several paid speeches." Elsewhere in the memo, Band notes that UBS paid Clinton $900,000 for two speeches that year.

He goes on to detail how the Dubai-based GEMS Education gave $780,000 to the foundation and how "that relationship has growth into a business relationship for President Clinton."

Then there's Laureate International Universities, the scandal-plagued for-profit college that gave more than $1.4 million to the foundation. This "evolved into a personal advisory services business relationship for President Clinton," in which Clinton got paid $3.5 million a year to serve as the company's honorary chairman.

FTA: From the sleazy Whitewater land deal in Arkansas to Hillary's miraculous returns on cattle futures all the way up to today, the Clinton's have proved themselves to be sleazy money-grubbing hypocrites who lack any sort of ethical compass.

God help the country if she and Bill get the chance to bring Clinton Inc. back into the White House.

Bill and Hillary Clinton= Jim and Tammy Faye Baker.

What would the Clinton Foundation charge a country not to nuke it?

The sky is the limit.

Pres Hillary assumption, of course.

[Vinnie]

Of course they do.
The Foundation covers all their expenses, travel, lodging, entertainment, wardrobe, etc.
Around 90% of the money collected is ‘expenses’.

[D Rider]

Did the Clinton’s declare all their “gifts” on their taxes? If not we may have a case of tax evasion, just like Al Capone.

I still wonder who has the enormous Waterford punch bowl That the Irish Government (or somebody) presented her the year she left the State Department. I remember a photo of he wearing a green jacket and accepting it. I no longer can find the photo, and I’ve never seen mention of it again. I’m sure that it was worth between $3000 and $5000 and wonder if it is gracing the sideboard in her Georgetown mansion. I wonder if it cam with cups?
