If there were still any doubt, the latest WikiLeaks disclosure makes it undeniable: Everything we’ve heard about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s sleazy drive to enrich themselves is true. In a way, we have daughter Chelsea to thank for the revelation. It was her suspicion that her father’s cronies were using their Clinton Foundation connections to “hustle business” for themselves that led to an in-house legal review. And in a 2011 memo to the review team, former presidential aide Doug Band openly boasted about how he’d raised millions for the foundation from his business clients — and even more for Bill Clinton personally. In fact, Band’s 13-page memo actually described the arrangement he’d set up as “Bill Clinton Inc.” — “dedicating myself” to helping the Clintons use their government service to feather their own nest. And what a gravy train: Band’s clients at his Teneo consulting firm were pressed to give millions to the foundation — and millions more to Bill. At that point, Teneo had raised $8 million for the foundation and $3 million in paid speeches for Bill. Plus, Band boasted, it had also set up “more than $50 million in for-profit” business deals for the ex-president, with contracts worth $66 million more. And that doesn’t even include loads of “in-kind” freebies, like vacations and private jets. Band denied profiting personally from these deals (apart from all the high-priced business he got from his Clinton connection, that is). He would even later whine about his inability to cash in like Bill. The foundation claims there was no unsavory link between its donors and Hillary’s job as secretary of state. Yet other email dumps and press investigations show beyond a doubt that giving to Clinton causes could win you face time with the secretary, help placing people in State Department jobs — and even preferential treatment in lucrative Haiti relief work. Not to mention all the suspicious favors outlined in “Clinton Cash” and in other reporting since. Even a foundation internal investigator concluded that corporations were “paying Teneo for connections with Clinton” — not to mention with the secretary of state and potential future president. Meanwhile, when top Hillary aide Huma Abedin needed help making ends meet (her hubby’s career having nose-dived), she wound up with her own Teneo job as well as a foundation salary — even as she remained at State. Hmm: Abedin’s husband, Anthony Weiner, would later brag of how easy he found it to earn big money in private-sector consulting. This whole circle of enrichment was a one-hand-washes-the-other arrangement. All nice and cozy — and mutually lucrative. What more proof do we need that as far as Bill and Hillary Clinton are concerned, the rules don’t apply to them? Poster Comment: The Clintons are thieves and murderers and should be attired in orange jump suits awaiting execution.

What more proof do we need that as far as Bill and Hillary Clinton are concerned, the rules don’t apply to them? The rules don't apply to them because damn never everybody in politics is running a scam of some kind to feed money into their accounts. Granted,most don't have people murdered and don't steal at anything approaching the level of Clinton theft,but none the less they personally have too much to lose to go after the Clintons. EVERYBODY does it,the Clinton's have just been more successful because they are more ruthless. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Bill and Hillary’s sleazy road to riches Sleaze. So what?
Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
Don't tell me about it. Remind Trump. That was one of the issues in his campaign, crooked Hillary. Get a good prosecutor.
Soros puppetThis whole circle of enrichment was a one-hand-washes-the-other arrangement. All nice and cozy — and mutually lucrative.
