Chelsea Clinton, plus her mom and dad, got paid more than $26 MILLION for giving speeches? If this isn’t money laundering, I do’t know what is.
Got a cause you want promoted or need favor in high places? Simple. Hire Chelsea or one of her parents to give a speech to 10 people in the audience, pay them a million bucks or so, and watch your troubles disappear.
And speaking of disappearing, watch how quickly the money in the so-called Clinton Foundation charity disappears and reappears in the Hilary Presidential campaign in a form of political accounting that would make even the most shameless Hollywood movie bookkeepers blush.
Don’t believe it? Well, under extreme pressure, the Clintons finally broke down and disclosed the money-for-speeches-for-favors scheme on their web page. A Beijing natural gas group paid $250,000 for a pep talk. Citbank paid more than a quarter million for some wisdom from Hillary. And a Nigerian newspaper paid a half million dollars for one of the Clintons to have a conversation with them.
The Washington Times reports the Clintons raked in more than $25 million in shake down–I mean speaking–fees in the past 16 months. Yes, that’s months, not years! And the Clinton Foundation has brought in a whopping $2 BILLION since Bill Clinton left office.
With ethics like this, is it any wonder that millions of acres of barren American wasteland that just happens to be rich in oil reserves has been forcibly converted into no-drilling so-called wildlife zones? And is it any wonder why top-secret American nuclear technology was so quickly given away to China?
Conflicts of interest abound. And much of this slush funding still has not been disclosed on the Clinton web site, probably because a number of the big bucks, tax exempt ‘charitable contributions’ violated legal limits such as their acceptance of $500,000 from Algeria.
And last week, Bill Clinton under pressure, was forced to admit to receiving over $100 MILLION for giving speeches from 2001 until 2012. If this is what he admits to, can you imagine how much more money and additional favors and untraceable gifts he and Hillary received?
And Chelsea personally raked in huge money from nine different organizations. And what kind of organizations are buying favor and clout from the Clintons? Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and others who are giving payback for the massive multi-billion dollar taxpayer-funded bailout of banks we were told were too big to fail.
Question: Is Hillary Clinton too big to be held to the same legal and ethics rules the rest of us great unwashed masses are held to?
