Clinton aide says Foundation paid for Chelsea’s wedding, WikiLeaks emails show
FoxNews.com ^ | November 06, 2016

Former President Bill Clinton’s top aide wrote in 2012 that Chelsea Clinton used Clinton Foundation resources “for her wedding and life for a decade” and a top Foundation donor was responsible for “killing” unfavorable press coverage – all as an internal Foundation audit uncovered numerous conflicts of interest and “quid pro quo benefits,” according to emails released Sunday by WikiLeaks.

Doug Band, founder of global strategies company Teneo and Bill Clinton’s personal assistant since the 1990s, wrote the Jan. 4, 2012, email to future Hillary Clinton presidential campaign chair John Podesta and two other Clinton aides after receiving word that Chelsea had told “one of the [President] bush 43 kids” and others about “an internal investigation of money within the foundation.” Band wrote such chatter was “not smart.”

“The investigation into her getting paid for campaigning, using foundation resources for her wedding and life for a decade, taxes on money from her parents….,” Band wrote. “I hope that you will speak to her and end this[.] Once we go down this road….”

I’d sooner die than have money that was supposed to help poor Haitians recover from a disaster instead used to pay for my lavish wedding!?

Talk about bringing a curse upon your marriage...

Do the Clintons have any shame at all?

Beam me up!

I believe I just heard on Hannity's live show earlier tonight that the Clinton Crime Family Foundation also gave money to Chelsea's deadbeat husband to bail out his hedge fund. I think Hannity also said this came to light via WikiLeaks.

Anyone know the details about this?

I would love to be a fly on the wall if/when Trump wins the election in a landslide that buries her.

I doubt that Trump would want to prolong the agony by letting this drag out for years as a spectacle.

If it was me I would offer a pardon IF the Clintons actually donated all the funds in their fake charity to the people of Haiti... it would kill them to have to do that...justice served.

Assuming she wins....This time, they wont be leaving so many finger prints. Americans will NEVER again get such a view of the inner workings of the establishment and its corruption.

If they are so damn stupid to vote for it - those that do, deserve all that they get.

Honestly, I have said it a few times but it bears repeating.

As a Brit looking in, looking at the corruption of the media and the absolute ignorance of masses of the electorate and putting that to one side.

Even here, not in a million years would they have lasted so long as they have.

And 100PC that is down to our press. Even the leftist press would have chewed the Clintons up so long ago. They wouldn’t be trusted to work on a burger bar let alone the presidency.

After this election, regardless of the result, the biggest thing you have to tackle is the media. It is so dangerous the levels of propaganda and collusion.

You have become a banana republic in front of your very own eyes.

I had to pay for my own $500 budget wedding and for every decade of my life after 18. Where did I go wrong? Some are more equal than others.””

I paid fo both of my weddings-—there will never be a 3rd.-—and I can say that I own everything I have today. I like the ‘old iron’—so my vehicles are a 1976 Chevy dually 1 ton truck & a 79 Buick station wagon. Combined mileage==almost 560,000 miles. Truck higher. Still drive both.

I own my property & all my furnishings. I can leave all my belongings to whomever I wish, and have a small insurance policy to pay any outstanding bills when I die & enough to bury me. I have told my nephew—who has 3 kids-—NOT to give away or dump all the kitchen utensils & tools I own. IF he puts all the utensils on a large table & sorts them into 3 piles, his 3 kids will have ‘starter kits’ for when they have their first residences away from home. Same for the tools. The prices of all these items have gone up significantly, and the uses for all of that stuff are the same as ever. IF he tried to buy new items for all 3 of them, he could easily spend $2000 for each one. The tolls would cost even more. Furniture can be picked over by the kids, also. Solid oak dining room table & chairs—wrought iron kitchen table & chairs-—bedroom furniture that is solid wood. Plenty of books & bookcases &other items that can be used. Otherwise—give away the old couch & chair . Cedar chest, Grandmother’s twin beds, etc, all have a use. He told me that he had never thought about how all those items could be useful for his kids.

I totally agree that we’re becoming a third world country, if we’re not already there. Trump’s candidacy is kind of a hail mary. I hope he wins tomorrow, but I’m doubtful simply because of the overall direction the country - and Europe- is heading. The left dominates the cities, entertainment industry, education system and media/communications channels, so we’re fighting against so many headwinds.

Our media is the most biased and corrupt, probably anywhere in the first world. Honest to god, tune in CNN, and I feel like I’m watching North Korean TV with a better set and graphics. I ended up canceling cable. I’m not paying for their propaganda anymore.

It’s really been heartbreaking to watch what’s happened to this country over the last 8 years. I’ve been in a really deep depression over it and worry it’s going to only get worse if Trump doesn’t pull through.

Democrats aren’t an opposing party but an occupying force that is swelling their ranks illegally through the immigration system to lock in a permanent majority. Their goal is to make the presidency unlosable like California is for them now. They socially reinforce this immigration regime by calling you a racist or a bigot for daring to change it. Meanwhile, half of the Republican party seems to think that they can offer something to destitute third world immigrants - people who would already be paying negative income taxes. It’s madness.

At some point, Democrats decided that they were tired of waiting around to “catch up” with Europe with high speed trains and national healthcare. Instead of trying to win arguments, they figured the’d just import a new country to disenfranchise us. All they have to do is get here, give birth to a “citizen”, then in 18 years they can vote Democrat for the rest of their lives. Now, Hillary is working on a plan to naturalize their parents too. If she wins, this will be the last election we had a mathematical chance to win.

I don’t know where this country is headed, but it’s going to be a dark place unless Trump can win tomorrow and start to reverse this.

I agree with every part of that. That control they have over those industries is devastating to conservatives.

What does the right have - talk radio? Isn’t enough. Certainly Trump has dominated social media, but it isn’t alone enough. It would need greater psychological analysis, but something about social media, doesn’t emanate the same semblance of credibility as the mainstream media. Which to you and me is absurd, but to the wishy washy 10% or so that decides every election is everything.

Like Brexit, a Trump win COULD be the start of a very long journey of reversal in the current trend.

Personally, if Trump loses - I think there has to be a massive reevaluation at all levels.

I’m sure you are like me, I will never accept surrender and all that entails. I would never vote for that just to chalk one up on the scoreboard. Open borders, decimation of traditional cultures and values, socialist economic policies, political correctness and persecution of conservatism. Sadly, many within the GOP and so called conservative media already have. So depressing.

No. But the LORD frustrates the ways of the wicked (Psalm 146:9b) and the Clintons may still be early on in this process.
