"Frankly, if I had known that that was the situation, that they were being paid $500,000, I would have spoken up at the time that I thought it was outrageous."

Why not ask for a refund?

Mark Johnson, an ASU spokesman, told The Republic that the university was a payment for the event—not a contribution to the Clintons.

Why not be honest?

The university’s officers were using university funds to bring the Clintons to the university so they could hobnob with and get their pictures with the Clintons.

Ok, so the question is...the people who approved the $500k....what did they expect in return? Jobs with the foundation? Some exemption to bring in massive numbers of foreign students? A gimmick with the Saudi government attached? You don’t waste $500k like this...unless you get something in return.

When Bill was Governor of Arkansas, he was known to be corrupt. When he got elected President, I thought "Well, that kind of Arkansas corruption will never fly in DC. Too many powerful groups to put up with that nonsense.

Well, Bill proved me wrong. Bill brought the wide scale corruption of Arkansas to DC, and the political class wholeheartedly embraced it.

I only wonder what our country would be like of George HW Bush had won a second term.

I wonder how the media would treat this if it was Ex President Bush’s foundation.....

[afraidfortherepublic]

Outrageous!

I wonder if Hillary will use the term “we’re flat broke” again on the campaign trail. For that matter, I wonder if she will use the term “I ain’t no ways tard” on the campaign trail this year. I guess the real question is, when is she going to actually come out on the campaign trail and start speaking to the little people and start taking questions.

Thanks for posting this. I intend to save a copy and send it to the ASU Alumni Foundation the next time they send me a letter asking for a contribution.

Why isn’t it against the law for public colleges and universities to spend money for speakers? If the speakers won’t speak for free, find someone else.

Big PAHtay School! Let’s get drunk and high and salute Uncle Wally Crockite.

It’s a sad state of affairs when the people aren’t pissed off about tax dollars being given to Chelsea Clinton. She’s never done a thing in her life except run her mouth and be ugly.

Is the governor or Arizona asleep ?
Anyone in the legislature not napping ?

[SandRat]

hummmmmm....wonder if I, my son, his wife, and her Dad can sue the Clinthieves under RICO???

Mark Johnson, an ASU spokesman, told The Arizona Republic that the $500,000 payment was for the Clinton Global Initiative University event—--not a contribution to the Clintons.

Well, that certainly explains it (breathes a sigh of relief). Really nice to know the cash-strapped public university wasn't party to the greedy Clintons sucking-up a-n-o-t-h-e-r $500,000 (/sarc).

BTW---how did the Clintons handle the $500,000 on their tax-exempt foundation disclosure forms and on their tax returns?

Thanks for the post; ping; thread.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda.

Socialism Is Legal Plunder

Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.

While Arizona State University has almost doubled its tuition over the past 10 years amid claims that it needs more state money, the school somehow had the funds to give half a million dollars to the Clinton Foundation.

According to The Arizona Republic, the public university paid $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation to host the former president-Bill Clinton; former-Secretary of State Hil-liar-y Clinton; - and their daughter, Chelsea, - during a Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) event in 2014.

Article and comments, esp # 22 , 23 , 25 , 26 .

Thanks, Liz. Wonder if someone in the audience funneled the $500,000 through AU in exchange for favors after Hil-liar-y is elected. If it happened this way, wonder if whomever was working in the background received a pay-off, as well.

Just wondering...

Let me see how this works:

The “Clinton Global Initiative”, which is the heart of Billary’s self-promotion & influence peddling enterprise, in their post-presidential years, sells itself for nice hefty donations to the “Clinton Foundation”, to launder the “contribution” as a “charitable gift”, but to the oh-so-smart academics at ASU none of it is about promoting, and yourself paying for the “privilege” of promoting Billary; when in fact that’s all it is.

Harry Truman must be rolling over in his grave.

Did he think the Clintons were a trained monkey show?
