Hillary Clinton Admits To Being a Money Launderer By Donating Her Speaking Fees to Her Clinton
Right Wing News ^ | July 5 2014 | Samuel Gonzalez

FULL TITLE: Hillary Clinton Admits To Being a Money Launderer By Donating Her Speaking Fees to Her Clinton Foundation

When I first read this ABC headline, Hillary Clinton Says She’s Donated All University Speaking Fees, I assumed the money was donated to an entity like the Red Cross or Catholic Charities, or other organization. But, after reading the article it turns out that Hillary is putting the money back into her own foundation.

ABC News reports Hillary Clinton continued to justify her high-dollar speaking fees on Friday, telling ABC News’ Ann Compton that all of the money she’s made from colleges over the past year and a half has been donated to her family’s foundation.

“All of the fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and life-saving work. So it goes from a foundation at a university to another foundation,” Clinton said when asked about the criticism she and her husband have faced recently for their wealth. Hillary Clinton reportedly makes roughly $200,000 for each speaking engagement. And recent reports show that she has made much more from some of the country’s top universities.

Donating the money to her own foundation is a slick way of paying herself. And that’s fine, but it’s dishonest for her to say she donating the money as if she’s giving it to some other charity she has nothing to do with.

The William Clinton foundation was originally the Hillary and Chelsea and Bubba Foundation.

Hillary: “All of the six-figure speaking fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and life-saving work."

Life-saving foundation work? Come Again. So how come the Clinton Foundation gave a grant to Harry Reid's grandaughter's little theatre group? Doesn't sound life-ssaving to me. (more below)

=====================================================

HILLARY: "So the six-figure fees go from a foundation at a university to another foundation,” she told ABC News on Friday.

Oh really---does Hillary know the IRS has stated the biggest foundation scam (money laundering) is one foundation writing a check to another foundation---the shady way the foundation principles skim-off tax-free money for themselves.

Is that why the greedy Clintons formed THREE foundations---to move tax-free money around for themselves.....and for Hillary's ambition?

=========================================================

The Harry Reid connection to the tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative" one of the three Clinton foundations needs to be investigated.

PUT ON YOUR TINFOIL HATS TO CONNECT THE DOTS:

(1) Harry Reid's son Rory is in business w/ the Chi/Coms on a multi-billion dollar solar energy project; Cliven Bundy and his land are standing in the way.

(2) Reports say Bill Clinton recently went to China to panhandle for his tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative" foundation.

(3) The "Clinton Global Initiative" (NOT KNOWN for giving out grants)---gave Harry Reid's granddaughter a grant for a Brooklyn, NY theatre she runs (what is a Brooklyn theatre's connection to "global initiatives?")

(4) A Nevada energy company also gave Reid's granddaughter's theatre group a grant.

================================================

"Money laundering" comes to mind. Could the Chinese be financing the Reid's solar project through donations to the Clinton Foundations....which is then laundered to Reid's granddaughter?

================================================

REFERENCE----HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, “My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet.” “This has gone too far and it needs to stop now,” Reid said. “I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.”

============================================

Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprat’s Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:

<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (connected to global terrorism via Muslim Brotherhood employee),
<><> two major Las Vegas foundations:
Caesar’s Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.

NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013....and is now owned by a Warren Buffet unit.

BTW, here's Harry w/ his grand-daughter....the one who got $31,000 in laundered campaign funds for her "jewelry company" and grants from Clinton and Nevada energy foundations.

Reid and granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid.

Don’t worry, we can use the building as a dormitory for Guatemalan “children”

They can conduct Mayan cannibal rituals there to their heart’s content

She avoids paying taxes on that income by donating it to the slush fund. And the slush fund pays her mortgage, utilities, food bill, travel expenses, vacation costs, club membership and/or green fees for her husband, etc.

The rest of us have to pay our living expenses out of what remains after taxes. She pays hers out of pre-tax income, and effectively uses those costs as deductions.

Institutionalized corruption. Rahm Emmanuel takes it a step further by declaring his personal home as the office of some tax-free foundation, thus avoiding state and local real estate taxes as well. Funny how these same crooks lecture us about not paying our fair share. Once I saw how John and Teresa Kerry paid a tax rate less than half of what I paid on 1000 times the income, I knew that the level of corruption which permeates our ruling class can never be ameliorated.

Yes. Lois Lerner. The details are in her email history.

Hillary avoids paying taxes on that mega-income by donating it to the founation slush fund..... the slush fund pays her mortgage, utilities, food bill, travel expenses, vacation costs, club membership and/or green fees for her husband, etc. The rest of us have to pay our living expenses out of what remains after taxes. She pays hers out of pre-tax income, and effectively uses those costs as deductions.

Plus both Clintons receive mega-pensions and lavish perks as govt retirees---getting ex-governor, senator, president and secy of state pensions and benefits.

Bill left the WH with a $400,000 lifetime salary, a $50,000 tax-free expense account, tax-paid benefits up the kazoo, free offices, plus his Governor of Arkansas pension and benefits.....

Not to mention all they could extort for the Clinton Library and three tax-exempt foundations......and so on, and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

======================================

The mega-wealthy 2016 Hillary connivingly planned to campaign on "income inequality" .......running as a phony populist. Campaign strategists warned Hillary her "tone" is important.....(so she can better dupe the voters).

THANK YOU KELLY FILE Megyn ran a news clip of Hilly sing-songing "the cancer of inequality"....in a contrived sap-happy, chirpy voice, wearing a h-u-g-e phony grin.

Reminded me of the classic Willam Castle horror movie, "Mr Sardonicus," (whose face becomes frozen in a horrifying grin while robbing the coffin of his father's grave).

Hillary wears her perpetual 2016 game face.

Clintons raised $2-3 billion in two decades
The Hill ^ | July 2, 2014 | Alexandra Jaffe / FR Posted by Cincinatus' Wife

Bill and Hillary Clinton raised from $2-3 billion in the two decades they’ve been prominent on the national stage, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The Journal tallied the Clintons’ speaking fees, fundraising for their foundation and the sums raised for Bill Clinton’s two presidential campaigns, for the Democratic National Committee while he was in office and for Hillary Clinton’s Senate and presidential campaigns.

Between $1.3-2 billion came from U.S. companies and industry sources, making up at least 75 percent of the sum — more than the 60 percent industry sources contributed to the two Bushes’ political operations.

The Journal reports that if Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016, as expected, she could return such donors to the Democratic Party, a source of concern for Republican fundraisers as they gear up for what’s expected to be the most expensive presidential election in history.

Overall, the Clintons’ political operations raised $1.2 billion, their nonprofit drew between $750 million and $1.7 billion and they made about $100 million in speaking fees. --SNIP--

============================================

QATAR DONOR TO CLINTON FOUNDATION/LIBRARY: As Hollywood hotshots protest the Beverly Hills Hotel over its ownership by Brunei's sultan and his embrace of Sharia law, it turns out the Brunei government has financial connections to "The Clinton Foundation."

The tax-exempt, nonprofit Clinton foundation lists Brunei along with Kuwait, Oman and Qatar (new home of the Gitmo Five) as donors that gave between $1 million and $5 million through last year.

The Clinton foundation itself confirmed the 2002 Brunei donation: "The Clinton Foundation's impact would not be possible without the generous support of our donors," the foundation's website reads. "Their contributions have made a difference in the lives of tens of millions across the world." Read more at foxnews.com ...

================================================

W/ a straight face, Hillary recently told Greta the Gitmo Five are NOT a problem to the US. BUT...due to her "concussion" (cackle) she completely forgot to mention the Quatar donation.

.... because on January 21st 2017 the IRS would be abolished by Executive Order
******************************
There needs to be a “mopping up” crew for old business ,, maybe keep the auditors and investigators for perhaps 2 years and place them under the Treasury with a new name (not IRS).

hillary is so out of touch. A lot of those grads she's paid to speak to have horrendous college debt and/or the need for money to get started in life. The money would be better spent as a tuition reimbursement split among the graduates.

I never knew speakers got fees and expenses to speak at graduation. I thought it was an honor, not a money transfer scam to the elite. If they do speak, it should be for free, and the only reward should be an honorary degree.

I wonder how much other college money is wasted.

Equal protection? Surely you jest. Democrats have been feverishly fighting against equal protection since 1828.

To: what's up

This is the woman who, as First Lady of Arkansas, took tax deductions for her husband’s worn underwear they “donated” to charity. Anyone think for one second she hasn’t figured out the tax angles on foundations?

I’ve said elsewhere, this foundation to foundation money laundering has got to stop. By law, foundations must give away X% of their assets each year. So the “Clinton Foundation” will give to the “Reid Foundation” that in turn donates to the “Pelosi Foundation” ad nauseam. Remember the Planned Parenthood/ Komen flap?
