High fashion, expense for Hillary travel (´presidential suite,´ stenographer, G4 or larger, etc..)

Hillary Rodham Clinton likes to travel in style.

She insists on staying in the “presidential suite” of luxury hotels that she chooses anywhere in the world, including Las Vegas.

She usually requires those who pay her six-figure fees for speeches to also provide a private jet for transportation — only a $39 million, 16-passenger Gulfstream G450 or larger will do.

And she doesn’t travel alone, relying on an entourage of a couple of “travel aides,” and a couple of advance staffers who check out her speech site in the days leading up to her appearance, much like a White House trip, according to her contract and supporting documents concerning her Oct. 13 speech at a University of Nevada, Las Vegas Foundation fundraiser. The documents were obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal through the state public records law.

CENTER OF ATTENTION

Clinton, a former first lady, U.S. senator from New York and U.S. secretary of state, is expected to run for president in 2016. Her lifestyles of the rich and famous ways and comments that she made about her wealth during a recent book tour have fueled criticism that she’s out of touch with average Americans.

The Democratic contender said she pays taxes, unlike some people who are “truly well off.” She also said she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, were “dead broke” when they left the White House in 2001. In the past eight years alone, the couple has earned more than $100 million, much of it from speaking fees, according to Politico....

Thanks.

[laplata]

I feel sorry for the SS agents.

[laplata]

I find it disgusting that people pay this degenerate reprobate to speak.

I do, too. Who in their right mind would pay to see her.

Discernment is foreign to most people. They are sick.

[Secret Agent Man]

i might chip in a buck if she’d shut up.

[Organic Panic]

Poor Hillary. It is rough being dead broke. She is stuck on a crappy G450 when G650s are flying around already. Can’t someone start a charity fund for poor Hillary.

I don’t care if someone’s rich, but I care if they lie about it to the people of the country and then ask those same people to trust them.

I care if you try to paint yourself as better than others by saying things like ‘we pay taxes, unlike the truly well off’ and then it turns out not to be true.

I care when you lie and say you were ‘dead broke’ when you left the White House and yet, you could turn around and finance 2 mansions and a very expensive college experience for your child.

I feel sorry for the SS agents.

Former Secret Service agents say Hillary Clinton is so nasty that being assigned to her is considered a punishment

[varon]

I find it disgusting that people pay this degenerate reprobate to speak.

Money laundering, pure and simple. Collecting bribes for political favors, past , present and future.

This kind of “report” is being put out there not for Republicans to use against her but so that Democrats will choose Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren over Hillary. She’s further left and “likable” by the liberals.

“Behind every great fortune ... is a crime.” I believe it was the author Nelson Demille stating that in his book “The Gold Coast”

[silverleaf]

they are not paying her to speak
they are paying for access and future political favors

I want to see the Clintons’ income dry up when she doesn’t run or gets defeated or Bubba- the real political powerhouse in the duo- finally meets his maker

[bray]

It’s the hypocrisy of promoting Marxism and then making a fortune off of it. Just like Gore and all the rest.

[Jimmy Valentine]

“Behind every great fortune is a crime”

I think you find that is attributed to Balzac

[newfreep]

“Maserati Marxists”

[elcid1970]

An older term for wealthy hypocrites like the Klintoons is “limousine liberals”.

[T-Bird45]

The Secret Service needs to have an equivalent to the FBI assignment to Butte MT. Hillary! is it.

[Jim Noble]

GWB changed that rule, but then Obama returned the life coverage..because he is so thin skinned...and when his two daughters go off to college, so will their SS coverage also..just like they did for Chelsea...and all thanks to tax payer dollars...now isn't that special????

I didn't know that Presidents could decree appropriations of "taxpayer dollars" all on their own.

I wish I had a dime for every post here about Obama's lavish vacations and other financial atrocities.

EVERY SINGLE DIME spent on the White House has been appropriated by the Republican House. How come we're not asking THEM what they are doing with our money?

Clearly, the endless videos being run on broadcast TV....of a smiling Hillary, greeting and embracing audiences ....are hurting her, causing her approval numbers to dive.

Now we know why she looks so sap-happy. She was raking in the bucks and getting perks worthy of a US president.

Did her audiences know Hillary was getting six figure fees, that they were footing the bills for “presidential suites” in luxury hotels, her endless entourage, private planes, and other perks?

She usually demands those stupid enough to pay her six-figure fees also provide a private jet — specifically, a $39 million, 16-passenger Gulfstream G450 jet, or larger.

She brings along an entourage of “travel aides,” and a couple of advance staffers who check out her speech site in the days leading up to her appearance (as if she was a president).

SOURCE all of this was verified according to her own contract demands, and supporting documents, WRT her Oct. 13 speech at a Univ of Nevada, Las Vegas Foundation fundraiser. The documents were obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal through the state public records law.

HILL AND OBOBO "HUG IT OUT" AT ELITE MARTHA'S VINEYARD ENCLAVE: Hillary Clinton dissed Obama’s foreign policy
failures....comments seen as an attempt to create space from an unpopular White
House. The "hug-out" was to assure the aghast lefty vote sipping chilled Cristal,
that her remarks weren’t meant as an attack on their beloved Black man.

"No big deal---you wanted to pepper spray terrorists, I wanted to water-bomb them w/ happy face balloons."

Wiping away a tear, Obama's former van driver, Tommy Vietor said,
“They’re friends and human beings first,” he sobbed. Vietor sat in on
Situation Room briefings and got Nation Security Clearance. Vietor now
does "messaging" for a living. Hillary hired Vietor to mastermind her
rollicking pre-campaign book tour (as the book went straight to the $2 bin).

where is her, ahem, girlfriend Huma?
