Bill Clinton was paid $1 million in 2015 by Laureate University, an educational institution with branches around the world. American Thinker has previously reported on this relationship between Clinton and the college, as well as the school's flawed bookkeeping that got them in trouble with the SEC.

All told, over the last 5 years, Bill Clinton was paid $17.5 million. His position? "Honorary Chancellor," where he acted as an advisor and goodwill ambassador.

$1.4 million for two speeches, paid for by an ally of the Nigerian president.

Kind of like a scene in an episode of “Soap”, when Benson happens upon Chester Tate finishing up a phone call with Claire, his secretary/mistress. He then says “My, my”. Chester then tries to act as if nothing is going on and says “What are you talking about” and all that Benson says is “Like I said: My, my,”.

Laureate Education is a for-profit education firm; ex-Pres Clinton is a paid honorary chancellor.

This organization has some unusual practices.

For instance, its students serve as telemarketers who pitch the school to prospective new students. It operates in at least three countries (Turkey, Mexico and Chile) where for-profit universities are illegal, author Schweizer notes.

Douglas Becker (a FOB), runs the for-profit university, which engages Bill Clinton to give speeches several times a year. Based on Clintons gargantuan fee scale, that works out to Pres Bill getting perhaps $1 million a year from Laureate, Clinton Cash author Schweizer estimates.

(NOTE On falsified disclosure forms, Pres Bill revealed only that he has been paid more than $1,000 by Laureate. (NOTE: falsifying official documents is the criminal method to hide larger crimes.)

Becker also runs a related nonprofit, International Youth Foundation, which coincidentally found its federal grant money has exploded (according to author Schweizer) since Hillary became secretary of state (in 2009) and Bill became honorary chancellor of Becker/s profit-seeking company.

Many of International Youth Foundation grants came from tax dollars-—from a State Dept agency-—USAID-—a govt agency controlled by Hillary factotum, Cheryl Mills.

Secy Hillary took official control of USAID, a move that dramatically reduced its independence, Clinton Cash author Schweizer says.


THIS—Bill Clinton Bagged $16.46 Million from For-Profit College as State Dept. Funneled $55 Million Back
Breitbart ^ | June 3, 2016 | Stephen Bannon / fr Posted by COUNTrecount

In April 2015, Bill Clinton was forced to abruptly resign from his lucrative perch as honorary chancellor of Laureate Education, a for-profit college company.

The reason for Clinton’s immediate departure: Clinton Cash revealed, and Bloomberg confirmed, that Laureate funneled Bill Clinton $16.46 million over five years while Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. pumped at least $55 million to a group run by Laureate’s founder and chairman, Douglas Becker, a man with strong ties to the Clinton Global Initiative.

Laureate has donated between $1 million and $5 million (donations are reported in ranges, not exact amounts) to the Clinton Foundation. Progressive billionaire George Soros is also a Laureate financial backer.

Man, is Bubba the luckiest man on earth or what? He figured out a way to make millions from the student loan bubble, a scam perpetrated against the American people who fund it.

Have the Clintons ever earned an honest buck in their lives?

Passed in 1970, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a federal law designed to combat organized crime in the United States. It allows prosecution and civil penalties for racketeering activity performed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.

Even if Trump, God forbid, loses the election, at least he has exposed how deep and wide the corruption really is, and my God, it is everywhere isn’t it.

Just think. Hillary. Free college. Colleges charge whatever they want to give back to the Clinton Crime Foundation. No corruption here.

The school gets over 50 million from the Hillary Clinton State Department. The school pays Bill Clinton 17.5 million dollars. That is just plain and simple money laundering and theft of American Tax Payer dollars.

It’s a wise investment if Clinton can tweak the system so ‘schools’ like this can qualify for MORE and HIGHER student loan money.

Eff the students... ‘LOANS’ are the cash cow... and ya gotta be ‘inside’ to be able to screw over the middle class and their children.
