Now, in another new report, we are learning that Hillary Clintons 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 Hillarys 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 Obamas 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 theyre worth over $200 million. They didnt 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 nations 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.
Im running to put a stop to the theft of American prosperity. Im running to put an end to the corruption. Im 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 doesnt 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)
Outstanding point
Look at Liz’s post #14
EXCLUSIVE: John Podesta is best known as Hillary Clintons campaign chairman and the individual from whose private account WikiLeaks is presently publishing some 50,000 hacked emails.
(Podesta was Bill Clinton's COS, Obama's onetime Counsellor, a foundation employee, a State Dept employee, Hillary's 2016 campaign chair.)
Daily batches have laid bare the inner workings and tensions of the Clinton campaign in an unprecedented way, while also offering insights into the operations of the Clinton Foundation and the State Department in the years when Clinton, now the Democratic presidential nominee, served as secretary of state.
At that time, when Clinton was traveling to a record number of foreign countries, Podesta, a former White House chief of staff under President Clinton, held dual titles at the State Department:
<><> as a senior advisor entitled to an annual salary of $130,000 never paid him, the department maintains and,
<><> as a member of a prestigious foreign policy advisory board Secretary Clinton created.
Records obtained from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management show Podestas tenure at State extended from Sept. 25, 2011 to Jan. 4, 2014.
For several months in 2012, Clintons final year as secretary of state, Raytheon, the leading defense contractor, hired Podestas sister-in-law, Heather Podesta, as a lobbyist, federal records show.
Raytheon was looking to enlarge its share of foreign military sales transfers of advanced weapons systems to other countries that are reviewed and approved by the Department of State, then implemented by the Department of Defense and was beefing up its lobbying operation to accomplish that goal before Secretary Clinton left office.
All the behind-the-scenes data (that she tried to keep hidden from taxpayers) indicates she WAS on top of any and all State Dept insider info on which she and Bill could make a buck.
Some enterprising reporter needs to match-up her official State Dept moves w/ the Clintons' vast buck-raking operation. That tell$ the whole $tory in exqui$ite detail.
===============================================
REFERENCE---At first glance, the Clintons astounding honoraria and humongous Foundation donations seem to provide the bulk of the couples income.
Bills honoraria increased dramatically-earning some $50 million during Hillarys four-year term as Secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.
The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day!
===============================================
I firmly believe the Clinton Foundations gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealthand the way they make billions sub rosa-intertwining their vaunted do-goodism and public office.
The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities. All of that is kept under wraps. Very little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillarys non-speech business interests.
Reports keep surfacing indicating the Clintons were party to multi-billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...Libyan oil deals....telecom businesses, deals w/ financial powerhouses like Teneo, Goldman Sachs.....etc etc etc.
THE CON ARTIST CLINTONS GRABBED EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN-Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ the Foundations do-good activities....enabled by Hillarys catbird seat at the State Dept.
At last count, the Clintons apparently raised an astounding $2 billion from their foundation activities and their political campaigns.....
.....does not include monies flowing in from the various lucrative business ventures, interest accrued, safe deposit boxes, real estate assets, passive income on which they pay no taxes, income from Chelseas hubbys hedge fund, monies invested in Goldman Sachs, interest in financial powerhouse Teneo..... etc etc etc.......
The Clintons are worth a bundle.....accumulated in record time. Their livelihood was collected as they marched through American politics.
Just a month ago, they bought the house next door to them in Chappaqua for less than a third of what they charged the US taxpayer for stemware. What does the SOS need with stemware? There’s bound to be a warehouse stuffed with excess stemware from the WH they could have used... unless that money went straight into her purse next to the hot sauce.
good point be baw
$6BB MIA from State Dept during hildabeast regime term in office.
BTTT
Soros has his hand in PJ Morgan.
Exactly, this supplier probably made a sizeable donation to the Clinton Slush Fund.
I would LOVE to know what DONOR sold her the CRYSTAL!!
“They didnt create anything, produce anything, invent anything...”
Exactly what I wish Trump would’ve brought out more often during this campaign. What does Bill Clinton’s wife have to show for 30+ years feeding at the government trough? What legislation? What co-sponsored legislation? What conflicts has she settled? What treaties did she craft? In 30 years has she done anything other than collect a paycheck and sell her office to the highest bidder? Then why give her 4 more years to waste so she can further enrich her personal bank account?
BTW, what do you want to bet that Donald Trump has created more American jobs with his recent hotel openings than Ms. Clinton has been able to in 3 decades of government “service”?
I am convinced her goal is to be a multi-billionaire mover/shaker like George Soros, and that she considers the State department small potatoes compared to what the presidency will bring in terms of cash.
