In his interview with NBC News that aired this week, Bill Clinton made one statement that seemed to come out of the blue. He said, in answer to a question about the Clinton Foundation's acceptance of foreign donations, that "over the last 15 years, I've taken almost no capital gains."

Liars lie.
Well, he didn’t.
Capital gains are gains made from investments and profitable businesses and the like.
Capitol gains are gains made AFTER you TAKE capital from prophetable investments and bribes and profitable companies and the like.
Bill just went directly to bribes.
Hillary demanded prophetable investments by taking capitol gains.
It depends on what the meaning of “is” is.....
His claim of “almost no capital gains” is just as true as Hillary’s line about being flat broke when the Clintons left the White House. The only reason they were in debt was because of his legal bills, and I suspect that most of those were forgiven since his lawyers were solid Democrats.
That’s one theory.
Another is that he hasn’t yet sold any of the shares of stock that he, or one of his surrogates, received from the Clintons’ secret “admirers”.
But, but, there’s not a SHRED of EVIDENCE that the Clintons received any shares of stock from anyone...
Indeed...

Or I$ i$ .... How out of touch can you get ?
From the article:
It didn't take long for some reporters to realize that this claim was easily checkable and that it was misleading at best.
The Clintons made their tax returns available while Hillary was in the U.S. Senate. And those tax filings show that Clinton claimed $155,590 in 2006, $27,427 in 2005, $57,313 in 2004 and $136,046 in 2000.
Add them up, and they total $376,376. And that was just during those six years. Who knows how much Bill's cleared in cap gains since then?
Bill Clinton is a compulsive liar. He lies.
What he meant to say was that he has paid almost no capital gains tax.
This was just more fodder for the peeps ‘cuz only rich Republicans take capital gains breaks. He was trying to put more street cred to Hillary’s mem that she’s like everyone else. NOT
Of Course he wouldn’t claim Capital Gains. They hid most of their ill gotten gains in overseas accounts.
how does a charitable foundation have capital gains in the first place? Does little Billy have something he wants to tells us about undeclared stock compensation?
In the clips I’ve seen from the interview, Sweet Old Bill (just use the initials), looked mean, angry, hateful, and old. He has completely lost it. The rascal rogue has turned into scolding, angry old fool. The Clinton magic is gone.
The master of the soft shoe of lying has lost his touch. I see a man in declining health as well. His voice was very weak, his hands were trembling and he could barely manage a smile. They should quit the campaign, pay up and enjoy their grandchild for as long as they have..
He was a better liar when he was young... takes effort to keep all the lies straight in memory.
Shake your bony finger at us, Birr Crinton.
Not to the American "democracy"
In the Catholic Penitential Act we say "...I have greatly sinned, in what I have done and what I have failed to do..." There are sins of commission and sins of omission. Some of the greatest lies are those that leave out important facts.
