Bill Clinton's foundation reportedly has racked up more than $50 million in travel costs over the past decade, in the latest detail to emerge about the high-flying former president's operation.

The New York Post reports that, based on internal tax documents covering the period since 2003, the foundation logged a $4.2 million travel bill in 2011 alone (together, all the foundations Clinton runs spent $12.1 million on travel that year).

That’s about one million dollars per intern, isn’t it?

Yes, crew and various expenses are in addition to fixed and hourly costs.

From the Maha -

By the way, when you fly on somebody else's jet you get a discounted rate. It's the way it works in political campaigns. Now, this has been the case in the past; I assume it still is. Let's say you're running for some office, you're a candidate, and a donor offers you his jet. You cannot accept a trip on his jet el freebo. Let's say his jet costs $5,000 to an hour fly. You don't pay that $5,000 an hour.

All you have to do is pay the equivalent of first class airfare, and you're legal, and that's what is meant hear in the Post by the discount rate. "Sometimes Clinton uses the plane at a discount rate for the foundation, and sometimes Catsimatitis donates the flight time to the charitable foundation, which has a variety of programs," blah, blah. They're not spending retail on these expenditures, and still they're racking up $50 million!

it is not a matter of someone exposing the Clintons to cause queen Hillary not to be coroneted, it is a matter of the Clintons getting all the dirty laundry in the press now, so when she is being coroneted, everything is old news, and the press will agree to have no interest in discussing it.
