Have you ever seen a person or know a person that Bought a Hillary book? Nope, because they are bought by the teachers union, and dumped in warehouses never to be seen.

$5 million in royalties from her book "Hard Choices"

Folks in the UAE 'bought' a million copies. Africans bought another two million copies... then there's the seven million copies bought by Wall Street Bankers...

Good point: Trump EARNED his money by providing what people wanted for its own sake, not as a money laundering scheme (how many would actually pay for a Hillary speech without the influence it buys?).

My thoughts exactly. “Hard Choices” - remaindered at Target and Costco within 10 days of being published. The $5 million wasn’t from sales — but hey, money launderers NEED to make the profits look legit!!

It’s really hard for me to understand why anyone would pay to hear either of them speak....

It's not hard for me, it's impossible.

It’s really hard to understand why anyone would pay to hear either of them speak....It's not hard for me, it's impossible.

At first glance, the Clintons astounding honoraria and humongous Foundation donations seem to provide the bulk of the couples mega income.

Bill's honoraria increased dramatically pocketing some $50 million during Hillarys four-year term as Secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech. The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day.

===============================================

I firmly believe the Clinton Foundations gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealth....and the way they make billions sub rosa....intertwining their vaunted do-goodism and their multiple tax-paid public offices.

The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities. All of that is kept under wraps. Very little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillarys non-speech business interests.

Reports keep surfacing indicating the Clintons were party to multi/billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...Libyan oil deals....telecom businesses, deals w/ financial powerhouses like Teneo, Goldman Sachs.....etc etc etc.

THE CON ARTIST CLINTONS GRABBED EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ the Foundations transparent do-good activities....enabled by Hillarys catbird seat at the State Dept.

At last count, the Clintons apparently raised an astounding $2 billion from their foundation activities and their political campaigns.....

.....does not include monies flowing in from the various lucrative business ventures, interest accrued, safe deposit boxes, real estate assets, passive income on which they pay no taxes, income from Chelseas hubbys hedge fund, monies invested in Goldman Sachs, interest in financial powerhouse Teneo..... etc etc etc.......

The Clintons are worth a bundle.....accumulated in record time. Their livelihood was collected as they marched through American politics. They co-opted taxpayers by using OUR govt and information they were privy to by virtue of govt office in order to pocket big bucks.

=================================================

Wall Street whistleblower Charles Ortel quoted a former managing director of Dillon, Read & Co thusly: "under New York law, tax authorities dont have to show criminal intent to get convictions against foundation officials."

THE MONEY QUOTE: Authorities need only show that the Clinton Foundation filed materially misleading financial information but kept on fundraising for a myriad of do-good projects.

=========================================

POSTER'S NOTE The legal culpability of a tax-free "charity" consists of:

<><> soliciting and taking money, and,

<><> showing how they spend it.

So if the Clinton Foundation raised money using the US mails and cited a specific "do-good cause" but used the donated money elsewhere, that is considered mail fraud.

=================================

Earlier, Ortel found irregularities of a sufficient magnitude that the Clinton Foundation should be shut down.

Ortel: if any of the 50 state attorneys general present the evidence to a federal district judge, an injunction would be ordered, shutting down the Clinton Foundation and placing the organization in receivership.

Ya, I remember seeing huge stacks of Hard Choices at Barnes and Noble. Nobody was buying her book.

That's funny. I'd heard her books weren't selling all that well. With catchy titles like there, hard to understand!
