Clintons ran Tammany-like money operation (tactics rival infamous political machine)
nypost.com ^ | 4/21/15 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 04/22/2015 6:08:12 AM PDT by Liz

...in his new book “Clinton Cash,” author Peter Schweizer reveals a scheme that would make Tamany blush with envy....Hillary using her secretary of state office to favor companies and foreign countries, which paid Bubba up to $500,000 for a speech...and/or made large contributions to the Clinton family foundation. Bill earned top-range windfalls---a staggering $48 million in speeches during Hillary’s four years at State. The "dead broke" Clintons in 2000 now have a net worth at between $100-200 million....

The gusher of money offers an explanation in which Hillary claimed to have deleted more than 30,000 e-mails from her private server. What did she know about money coming into the foundation? What did she know about who was paying her husband to speak? How much coordination was there? She claims the e-mails she deleted were purely personal, and her lawyer says the server was “wiped clean.” That’s not something that can ever be said about their reputation.

While both could legitimately command significant appearance fees, the soaring price of Bill's speeches offers compelling examples of a quid pro quo. And now she wants to be president to help “everyday Americans.” Imagine the cash that would generate!

The Clintons have always been pay for play. They have no problem taking bribes.

It’s perfectly OK though, there is nothing to see here so move it along, this is the Clintons and these grifters are allowed to do this stuff. 9 gabillion quadrillion zillion “scandals” which is another word for crimes and what has EVER happened to them? Nothing. All the do is continually cash in

The (corrupt, lying, treasonous) Congress will get 'right on it'.


""Crime is contagious.
If the government becomes a law breaker,
it breeds contempt for the law." "

Justice Louis D. Brandeis

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
"
President Ronald Reagan

Does anyone know how they continually get away with this crap without getting indicted? I would think attorney generals in a state or county would want to make a name for themselves by prosecuting these two grifters, I mean can you imagine; “The person who brought down the Clintons ending corruption in Washington” or something like that. So why isn’t that happening? Where is the Clinton foundation based? New York city. Who is the AG there? Why isn’t he ordering an investigation into this scam of a foundation? And this is just ONE scam by the Clintons. Another recently is Hitlerys email scam, obvious violation of the law. Why isn’t she being indicted? Where are the prosecutors? Are they threatened somehow? Can these threats be exposed? F this, I am sick to death of these two gifters getting away with this crap. They should be in JAIL!

GRAPHIC CREDIT---NY POST

Records show that of the $105 million the former president raked in from speeches over 12 years, about half came during his wife’s four-year tenure at the State Department.

The claims in “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich” come just a week after she launched her presidential campaign.

If you substitute the name “Bush” for “Clinton”....MSNBC will be able to come up with forty ways that it’s illegal and how you’d got to federal prison for things like this.

Perhaps we should make a law to forbid contributions to foundations that relate to federal law deals. Oh....wait....we already have such a law.

You know what is especially galling about all this? That we the taxpayers have to pay for the security detail, health insurance and pension for these two freakin’ grifters when they got $200 million in the bank. DAMN! I want to see them busted so BAD!

The Clinton’s are a perfect reflection of our current government. Corrupt to the core. Don’t understand the babble, they are only doing exactly what everyone else in Washington is doing.

Clinton Foundation: ONLY 15% ON CHARITY?
The Federalist (via Drudge) ^ | March 2, 2015 | Sean Davis / FR Posted by thouworm

When anyone contributes to the Clinton Foundation, it actually goes toward fat salaries, administrative bloat, and lavish travel.

Between 2009 and 2012, the Clinton Foundation raised over $500 million dollars according to a review of IRS documents by The Federalist (2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008).

A measly 15 percent of that, or $75 million, went towards programmatic grants.

More than $25 million went to fund travel expenses. Nearly $110 million went toward employee salaries and benefits. ......And a whopping $290 million during that period — nearly 60 percent of all money raised — was classified merely as “other expenses.”

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

QUESION Did the Clintons falsify official documents?

E mails were personal. They all had to do with the augmentation of her personal financial accounts

Read recently that less than 15% of the money collected went for charitable work. Have not been able to confirm

FYI--Hillary recently refused to answer when asked whether she was collecting Social Security.

......what is especially galling about all this.....we the taxpayers have to pay for the security detail, health insurance and pension for these two freakin’ grifters when they got $200 million in the bank.....

Documents w/ all the details are at OMB---Congress needs to subpoena the documents and release the info to the tax-paying public.

BONUS....would also detail the number of electronic devices the Clintons have...... and where they're at.
