NBC's Chelsea Clinton Gets $75,000 Per Speech From Clinton Foundation

Following the stunning revelation last month that NBC News had paid special correspondent Chelsea Clinton a starting annual salary of $600,000, on Wednesday, the New York Times reported that the former first daughter was also getting paid $75,000 per appearance by the Clinton Foundation. Conflict of interest anyone?

Clinton spokesman Kamyl Bazbaz assured the Times that "100 percent of the fees are remitted directly to the foundation." So the money goes back into the foundation run by her and her family.

A calculation by Business Insider concluded that given Chelsea's limited air time on NBC, she made over $26,000 per minute for her occasional reporting on the network.

But Chelsea isn’t interested in money...

I would suggest just buying the Tongue for 100k and be done with it! Obviously there is no Brain!

If anyone ever gets to see the books, I predict that they will show huge expenditures for ‘expenses’ that are paid for by the Clinton’s foundation.

Dick Morris had a story online today about the foundation paying millions (yes millions) just for their travel expenses.

it’s called a PAYOFF

foreign leaders, union leaders, anyone that benefits from some crap they pull off... this is one of the ways they filter the money into the clinton’s pockets

just like the $2m home in NY the clinton’s received

and just like the $34m home 0bama received in hawaii

That’s a lot of carrots and apples.

Scary!

[Texas resident]

Curious, where does NBC come up with 600K for a worthless enterprise? Who made that decision? Who is doing their accounting? Where is the money coming from?

[castlegreyskull]

What the hell does she have to say that is so profound?

[varon]

What could she possibly have to say to anyone about anything of interest or importance?

Valid question which gives credence to suspect money laundering...............

[Blood of Tyrants]

Apparently they have money to piss away.

She spends an hour/month reading a teleprompter. It must be nice to get through life on no-show jobs like this.

I'm sure the "speech" was a bunch of rich a$$e$ standing around drinking expensive wine, eating off a fu-fu buffet full of food that you can't identify or pronounce, and Chels reflecting on how wonderful it's been to be a trust fund baby that's never lifted anything over 3 pounds have Billary as parents.
