“Who pays for his house in Chappaqua?”

We do! They had to build a place for the Secret Service guys. Bill charges a monthly rent that is equal to his mortgage, $10,000. Biden has the same deal. So,,,, we pay with our taxes,

to put Bill’s financial needs in perspective: Viagra is about $25 a pill (one pill a day). A $500,000 speech is equivalent to 20,000 days of Viagra.

Duct tape and two popsicle sticks are much less expensive and work about as well

The Red Chinese Army already paid for the house...

The house was paid for withTaxPayer dollars. A great little trick when you think about it. First you build a bungalow on the property for the use of the Secret Service Protection Detail, using Tax Payer funds, the bungalow becomes the property of the land holders and now must be rented from the Clintons with taxpayer dollars. Strangely enough the rental fees are almost exactly equal to the payment on the house.

Truth is indeed stranger than fact.

WIKI In September 2005, mining magnate Frank Giustra flew Clinton to Kazakhstan on his private jet as part of a three-country philanthropic tour. Clinton praised the Kazakh autocrat for "this statement you have made about opening up the social and political life [of Kazakhstan]".

Within two days of the former President's meeting with Kazakhstan’s president Nursultan Nazarbayev, Giustra's fledgling uranium company signed preliminary agreements giving it the right to buy into three uranium projects controlled by the state-owned uranium agency, Kazatomprom. "The monster deal stunned the mining industry, turning an unknown shell company into one of the world’s largest uranium producers."

In 2006, in the months after Mr. Clinton's visit helped secure Giustra's company the right to mine uranium in Kazakhstan, Mr. Giustra donated $31.3 million to the Clinton Foundation. This figure is at variance with the one released by the William J. Clinton Foundation (on the 18 December 2008), as part of an arrangement with President-elect Barack Obama. It reports Frank Giustra as giving between US$10–25 million.

In February 2007, a company called Uranium One agreed to pay US$3.1 billion to acquire UrAsia. Giustra, a director and major shareholder in UrAsia, would be paid $7.05 per share for a company that just two years earlier was trading at 10 cents per share.

In June 2007, Giustra joined with Clinton to launch the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership to address global poverty. Giustra committed $USD 100 million plus half of what he makes in the resource industry for the rest of his life. Carlos Slim Helú, the Mexican businessman and richest person in the world, made a matching contribution and Giustra is expected to enlist others in the Canadian resource industry.

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

Oops....Giustra didn't mention he finalized a massively profitable transaction to buy uranium mines in Kazakhstan days AFTER he and Clinton dined with that nation’s president.

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

"Philanthropists" Clinton and Giustra also forgot to mention......

<><> (1) the head of the Kazakhstan agency that oversees the country’s mining, said that Secy of State Hillary Clinton pressured Kazakh officials to sell uranium assets to Giustra’s firm, and,

<><> (2) that Bill Clinton adviser Tim Phillips said Hillary would not meet with him until Kazakh officials agreed to Giustra’s nuclear deal.

Bill Clinton calculatedly went to Kazahstan during election time. He praised the candidate, a dictator who won w/ 90% of the vote---an obviously rigged election.

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

(Snicker) So I guess Hillary never informed Obama that she was jerking around foreign policy WRT the sale of US uranium mines to a country dealing with Iran.

5/3/15--WASHINGTON POST: Wealthy Canadian helps fund the Clinton Foundation

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of
the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. Giustra's
contributions go both directly to the foundation, and,
to a Canadian charity, which in turn sends money to the
Clinton Foundation.

DATA Sources: Clinton Foundation, CGEP (Canada) and Canadian tax records

Doing good and not averse to making a buck on it...sobbing all the way to the bank.

Bill Clinton and Canadian mining tycoon Frank Giustra
in Tierra Muscady, in Haiti June 2014 touring
a peanut plantation processing facility.

That day, the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership
announced the launch of the Acceso Peanut Enterprise
Corporation to aid small peanut farmers. (Hector

CONNECTING THE DOTS Then-Secy Hillary supposedly gave Haiti $3.1 billion tax dollars for Earthquake Relief.

But Haitian-American protesters claim that American aid to Haiti was a cover-for foreign governments to funnel kickbacks of hundreds of millions of dollars to The Clinton Foundation.

POINTS TO PONDER:

<><> As Secretary of State, Hillary devoted much of her time in 2010 to the Haiti recovery.

<><> The Clinon Family Foundation accepted Algeria’s $500,000 donation for Haitian earthquake relief in 2010, during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secy of State (at the same time Algeria rec'd millions in US foreign aid).

<><> Bill Clinton got his hands on hundreds of million of dollars while Hillary controlled the State Dept checkbook..... monies earmarked for Haiti.

<><> the newlywed Clintons spent their honeymoon in Haiti.

<><> listed as a Clinton Foundation donor: Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund---organized at the behest of Obama: GHWB-WJC principles (recently disbanded).

After the earthquake in Haiti, the Clinton Foundation raised around $36 million for disaster relief, while the Obama Administration kicked in $3.6 billion.

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

Haitian protesters gathered outside the Clinton Foundation to complain about "missing money" from the US State Dept's recovery effort for the 2010 Haitian earthquake:

They protested the Clinton Foundation b/c it helped lead the reconstruction fund. They claimed that the US State Dept's $10 billion meant to help rebuild Haiti did little to help the country and that much of the US money went to non-Haitian companies.

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

While Haitians were reeling from disaster, Hillary’s brother got a rare gold mining permit; the last permit Haiti issued was over fifty years before
