To Die for Chappaqua (the Clinton family pay for play empire)
americanthinker.com ^ | Frank Johnson

Posted on 08/24/2016 12:18:11 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

A few days back, Drudge had a link to some pictures of the Clintons' estate in Chappaqua, New York to show the 10-foot-high wall they had built around it (ironic, since Democrats know that walls don't work).

The pictures of the impressive estate opened up a question. Where did the money for it come from? We know that both Hillary and Bill have not been gainfully employed in the private sector. It is not an oil estate, or an automobile estate, or a software estate, or a finance estate. So what is it? A government estate! Government is what the Clintons had to sell, and they have sold it.

This is a new phenomenon for America. We have heretofore been characterized by the probity of our government institutions. It is a subject of note when officials are caught selling their office, and they end up in prison for doing so. The Clintons have found a way around the law by having Hillary on the inside and Bill as bag man on the outside, hauling in the loot under the guise of fees for speeches.

While the numbers are not hard, the press seems comfortable with the Clinton personal fortune being $200 million, so let's use that figure. If it is off, Hillary can give us the precise number. We are talking personal money here. No confusion with the foundation(s). These are Hillary's and Bill's personal funds. Hillary and Bill have made a personal fortune of $200 million since leaving the White House, or, to put it differently, during Hillary's tenure first as senator and then as secretary of state.

If the Clintons' customers are not buying oil, or automobiles, or software, what are they buying? Influence. Influence over the policies, the actions, of the United States.

The Clinton’s are paying for polling numbers showing Hillary up by double digits to generate a frenzy of Clinton Foundation donations before she loses.

It must be frightening for conservative writers to make insightful and accurate criticisms of the Clintons knowing they might soon find themselves in a peculiar one-car vehicular accident with no witnesses.

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

Bills 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 Foundation donors, 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.

The Clintons apparently raised billions from their foundation activities and their political campaigns........but that does not include monies pouring in from the various lucrative global business ventures.

There's also interest accrued, safe deposit boxes, real estate assets, passive income on which they pay no taxes, income from Chelsea's hubbys hedge fund, monies invested in Goldman Sachs, interest in financial powerhouse Teneo..... etc etc etc.......

So here’s some questions I have on the Clinton estate:

1. What was the purchase price?
2. When did they buy it and was the price of the property consistent with their declared income at the time?
3. Does the fence conform to local codes? Is it perhaps too tall? Does it meet setback requirements?

Enquiring minds want to know!

The Clinton’s New York estate was partially paid for by the US government through the Secret Service. That is another Clinton scandal. Friends also pitched in to help pay and furnish it for the “dead broke” Clintons when they left the White House.

Biden does the same thing—charges rent for a “guardhouse” used by the Secret Service to protect him.

“Biden does the same thing—charges rent for a “guardhouse” used by the Secret Service to protect him.”


How do you know this?

( Not doubting you but I’d love to throw it in the faces of a few libs that I know.)

How much did the Clinton Estate cost?

How much do they still owe? What’s upkeep? Does the ‘Foundation’ pay for the house - how much is written off?

This is why the Clintons deleted those 33,000 emails. Maybe those emails could have something to do with the FIFA bribery scandal and the 1MDB scandal now embroiling Malaysian politics? Hmmm....

Treating the country as a private fief is third-worldism. It is why third-world countries never advance. Their wealth is drained off by their political leadership. If Hillaryism should become the custom of our government, the country as we know it will be destroyed.

Did Arabs pay to have our young American men die in silly ME wars? With money going into Hillary's pocket for the deaths? Is all of the State Department and most of Washington DC on take? Are all of them selling out the country for their personal benefit.

No wonder the little whores, thieves, and traitors don't want Trump upsetting their apple cart... Lowlifes like Kerry who can look us straight in the eye and lie... while Morning Joe swoons over his 'great tone'....

The house we moved into when my children were little was on a corner, and people cut through our yard all the time. When the guy came out and gave me an estimate on a six foot fence, I asked him about an eight foot fence, and he said, “ ma’am that’s against the law”.
