FULL TITLE: Hillary Clinton Admits To Being a Money Launderer By Donating Her Speaking Fees to Her Clinton Foundation
When I first read this ABC headline, Hillary Clinton Says She’s Donated All University Speaking Fees, I assumed the money was donated to an entity like the Red Cross or Catholic Charities, or other organization. But, after reading the article it turns out that Hillary is putting the money back into her own foundation.
ABC News reports Hillary Clinton continued to justify her high-dollar speaking fees on Friday, telling ABC News’ Ann Compton that all of the money she’s made from colleges over the past year and a half has been donated to her family’s foundation.
“All of the fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and life-saving work. So it goes from a foundation at a university to another foundation,” Clinton said when asked about the criticism she and her husband have faced recently for their wealth. Hillary Clinton reportedly makes roughly $200,000 for each speaking engagement. And recent reports show that she has made much more from some of the country’s top universities.
Donating the money to her own foundation is a slick way of paying herself. And that’s fine, but it’s dishonest for her to say she donating the money as if she’s giving it to some other charity she has nothing to do with.
Criminals beget criminals
>>hillary is so out of touch.
>>I never knew speakers got fees and expenses to speak at graduation. I thought it was an honor, not a money transfer scam to the elite. If they do speak, it should be for free, and the only reward should be an honorary degree.
Colleges are out of touch with reality. That’s the unintended consequence of student loans. They don’t care how much the tuition is because no one has to pay it right now (except for a few adult learners who don’t have a voice on campus anyway).
I working on my Bachelors degree at age 51 and the costs are just insane. I get 80% reimbursement on tuition and 50% on books from my employer, and even the part that I pay is criminal. But that’s how the system works. Experience, talent, and self-learning counts for nothing. All that matters is that very expensive piece of paper that shows that you can think inside the box and follow instructions.
Yeah, but she's now retired from the IRS and keeping her lips sealed about her career for some reason.
If she declares it as income, as she's supposed to and then takes it as a deduction, it's a wash.
Besides, Gowdy’s skills would make him a great AG
Wouldn't surprise me if there is a third face we haven't seen yet. She's a piece of work!
No, and don't call me Shirley.
Seems like the best job you can get, is to become the CEO of a nonprofit....your own. How about a nice "green" legal defense fund?
Eh?
And they wonder why university tuitions are so high?

Yeah, that’s like Congress telling us their extortion is legal. BS.
