Clinton Foundation didn’t report another $26.4 million in speaking fees

The Clinton Foundation confirmed Thursday that it received as much as $26.4 million in previously unreported payments from foreign governments and corporations for speeches given by the Clintons.

It’s the latest in a string of admissions from the foundation that it didn’t always abide by a 2008 ethics agreement to disclose its funding sources publicly. That agreement, penned as Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, is certain to continue the headache that the foundation’s work and donors have become for Clinton as she makes another run at the White House.

The Washington Post first reported the news that, since 2002, Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton gave 97 speeches benefiting the foundation, earning anywhere from $10,000 to $1 million dollars in fees.

Ooops. Bill and Hillary Clinton got caught again. They received at least another $26.4 million in speaking fees since 2002 that was never reported.

Will Jeb and Rick rush to her side again? She could sell the medal for a few bucks and tell the press she has the support of the political right. Again.

This is in fact legal under our new neo-feudalist system.
I think it’s time we brought back titles so that the exempt can be venerated.
And don’t think of poaching on the king’s land if you want to keep your head.

You know a Clinton Insider I never hear anything from?
That would be Chelsea’s husband; Mark Mezvinsky. Never a word, never an appearance anywhere. I guess it’s like belonging to a powerful family buried in scandal i.e. The Daley’s. You must conform to their needs. Wonder if Marc and Anthony ever share a drink, swap ‘unbelievable stories.

“The Clinton Foundation confirmed Thursday that it received as much as $26.4 million in previously unreported payments ...

... it didn’t always abide by a 2008 ethics agreement to disclose its funding sources publicly...”

That’s what makes them Clintons, dummy. Look here, look there, don’t look down there, what does it matter anyway?

The Clinton Foundation is one big corrupt slush fund.
Nothing more.

Chelsea’s in-laws.

Keeping everything in the family, one way or t’other.

Mezvinsky was convicted in 2002 of bilking his associates, friends and family members — even his own late mother-in-law — out of millions of dollars. Despite being released in April 2008 after serving five years in prison, Mezvinsky remains on federal probation and still owes almost $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.

An ABC News investigation revealed that Mezvinsky, a former Democratic Congressman from Iowa, had been caught up in a series of Nigerian e-mail scams and began to steal from people to further his schemes.

These two families are made for each other. I revoke my misapplied sympathy for this gelded groom.

Well, Hell’s bells!
What good is setting up a phony baloney charitable foundation so you can launder dirty foreign cash if you’re going to report regular domestic income?
Just send the drones over at the IRS their usual payment, plus 10%, and slip Lois a fat cash bonus for being a stand-up guy.

You can see better looking horses at a second-rate track.

Question is: who is paying to have these people speak? And for what?
