Now, in another new report, we are learning that Hillary Clinton’s State Department wasted hundreds of millions of your hard-earned taxpayer dollars on a wild spending binge. Here are some of the shocking revelations about Hillary’s spending habits.
These are all State Department expenditures during her tenure:
–$5.4 million on a no-bid contract for Crystal Stemware
–$167.5 million on cost overruns at the Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan
–Over $200 million on mostly unused police training facilities in Iraq
–$79,000 to buy copies of President Obama’s books
–$53,000 to polish marble at the Brazilian Embassy
–$630,000 to try to make State Department Facebook pages more popular
–$216,000 to hire an event planner for a 4th of July party in Madrid
–$88,000 to send three comedians to India
–more than $250,000 to purchase art in Mexico
–$410,000 to purchase art in China
The elites in government like Hillary Clinton believe they are entitled to do whatever they want. Hillary Clinton has never earned an honest dollar in her life – she lives the high life at your expense, making money off the rigged system.
This is an election between the small handful of people who benefit from the corrupt system, and the great majority of American citizens who are the victims of that corruption. Those who benefit from the corruption will say and do anything to keep change from happening.
Washington Insiders, including the corrupt media, look down on hardworking people who make an honest living. The Corrupt Political Class takes pride in ripping off the American people. Now these same elites – the people who brought us every disastrous foreign war and every disastrous trade deal – are spending millions to try to put Hillary in the White House so she can keep skimming from the American people.
The Clintons left the White House dead broke, and now they’re worth over $200 million. They didn’t create anything, produce anything, invent anything – all they did was sell favors, sell access, and sell out the American worker.
Hillary even sold out our nation’s security with her illegal private server – knowing full well it would put you and your family in danger. As moms across this nation put their children to bed each night with a prayer for safety and peace, Hillary was knowingly putting those same families at risk by putting our confidential secrets on an illegal private server.
But for Hillary, it seems anything is OK as long as it increases her power.
I’m running to put a stop to the theft of American prosperity. I’m running to put an end to the corruption. I’m running to expose the crimes of our ruling class, and to give this country back to the middle class.
Hillary pushes trade deals, like the Transpacific Partnership, that enrich her donors and strip the jobs out of your community.
She wants to raise your taxes, even as she used those taxes to spend lavishly on wasteful projects at the State Department.
She pledges “open borders,” in secret to her donors, even as it causes the loss of millions of American jobs and thousands of American lives.
She talks about the values of tolerance, yet proposes to issue massive numbers of visas to places where women, and gays, and minorities are horribly oppressed and brutalized. She then takes money from these regimes, without apology, and doesn’t worry about how extremism brought onto our shores will affect the quality of life for you or your family.
Hillary has access to the best doctors in the world, but wants you and your children to live under Obamacare.
I am running to end the rule of this corrupt ruling class, and to give the government back to the people.
I want the entire corrupt Washington establishment to hear and to heed the words I am about to say. If we win on November 8th, We Are Going To Washington, D.C. And We Are Going To DRAIN THE SWAMP. (read more)
This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of waste, fraud, and abuse in our government.
Let’s let a real businessman take over.
You can bet that's all in Chappaqua now.
I certainly would not bet against you.
A no-bid contract means they had a supplier in mind and they were going to reward that person no matter what with this contract.
Obviously, more than one business supplies crystal, more than one business makes crystal, and there is absolutely no reason to believe such a contract had to be filled immediately so it just had to avoid the bidding process.
IOW, there was a kickback somewhere in there.
BINGO@!
Along with the art from China and Mexico, no doubt.
These kinds of expenditures are all over the federal system. I plugged the calculator the other day. If we split the approx. 3.5 trillion federal budget up for each of America’s 320 million people, they’d each get about $11,000.
You just know that involves unbelievable waste, fraud, and abuse.
Actually it seems to be a Trump campaign press release, dated Oct. 27, 2016:
Excerpts As Prepared For Delivery
If I were to hand that number over to any CFO in ANY company they would want a detailed accounting of those "overruns"
These people are nothing but thieves, pure and simple.
I am so sick of this. If I ever have to hear this banshee harp on about how she “fights” for the women and the children, I’m going to throw up.
That kind of money could open up daycares, provide money for education, among a million other things.
Biggest lying shameless hypocrite this world has ever seen!!
Not wasted the majority of that money was laundered back into the pockets of the Tools, their cronies and Corruptorat coffers.
It’s theft.

TOONS not tools.
Could have bought track chairs & helped our vets.
Then there was the $6B of State Dept. money that was completely unaccounted for...
But no money or outpost security in Benghazi.
....the latest WikiLeaks underline everything we’ve heard about the Clintons' sleazy drive to enrich themselves. In a 2011 memo, Bill's ex-aide, Doug Band, openly boasted about Teneo's activities raising millions for the Clinton Foundation and for Clinton personally from his Teneo business clients.....described as “Bill Clinton Inc.” — Band bragged about helping the Clintons use their government service to feather their own nest.
Band’s Teneo clients were pressed to give millions to the foundation — and millions more to Bill. At that time, Teneo had raised $8M for the foundation and $3M in paid speeches for Bill. Plus, Teneo had also set up “more than $50M in for-profit” business deals for the ex-president, with contracts worth $66M more.....doesn’t include loads of “in-kind” freebies, vacations and private jets.
This circle of enrichment was a one-hand-washes-the-other arrangement.
After her sexting hubby’s career nose-dived, Hillary aide, Huma Abedin, needed help to make ends meet. Hillary facilitated Huma's cashing in bigtime: at Teneo, pocketing a foundation salary — as Abedin cashed US govt checks from the State Dept. Abedin’s husband, Anthony Weiner, would later brag of how easy it is to earn big money in private-sector consulting. (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Add these frivolous expenses to the ‘’missing’’ 6 billion and there’s enough money combined to make Social Security healthy again.
