NEW YORK – Bill and Hillary Clinton’s attack on Donald Trump over Trump University could invite increased scrutiny of the Clintons’ involvement in a for-profit education scandal in which a company that runs shell colleges paid Bill Clinton $16.5 million to be its pitchman.
While the Clintons were collecting millions, Hillary Clinton’s State Department funneled at least $55 million to a group run by the college company, Laureate Education Inc., according to Peter Schweizer’s book “Clinton Cash” as Breitbart reported.
Clinton abruptly resigned from his post as “honorary chancellor” in April 2015 when the disclosure was publicized.
Documents uncovered by Washington-based watchdog Judicial Watch show Laureate Education paid the former president through a “shell corporation” pass-through account that evidently passed State Department scrutiny while Hillary was secretary of state.
Further, in a story showing how for-profit colleges encourage huge student debt, Forbes found the biggest borrower on the for-profit college list is Laureate Education’s Walden University, whose grad students borrowed $756 million in 2014.
Bill Clinton’s hiring in 2004 as “honorary chancellor” sent the former president scurrying around the globe to make promotional appearances at Laureate campuses in countries such as Malaysia, Peru and Spain.
The company, created in 2004 on the base of the tutoring chain Sylvan Learning Centers, already owned 75 schools in 30 countries and was poised for a massive expansion as Bill Clinton’s name drew top-name, left leaning investors, including George Soros, Henry Kravis of Wall Street investment banking firm KKR and Paul Allen of Microsoft fame.

There's the bell. Trump almost running out to meet Hillary and immediately lands a hard right to the midsection saying, "Why aren't Bill & Crooked Hillary being sued for their massive education scandal?" Hillary looks stunned.

Dang, and the story just broke, figured for sure if it wasn’t up on Breaking News it hadn’t been posted yet.
Well, at least it’s being covered. Should be on the Breaking News Sidebar IMO.
Read it twice, no midgets, dwarves or any other little people.
Dissapointed. Lied to. Led to expect midgets.
Scandal Dwarfs would be a great name for a band.

Hey,Freeps are quick
Jim 0216, or may I call you Howard?
Please keep narrating as we go through to round 12 in November. That’s one vanity post I would wish to pass onto my children. :) Carry on.
Surprise Trump hasn’t brought up the Whitewater and the Clinton Foundation scandals in response to corruption accusations from Hillary.
Check it out...
I plan to do this round by round. Hope you’re a Trump fan. If not I gotta believe you, like me, can’t stand Hillary.
I’ll try to say it like Howard...
Thank...you...for...the encouragement.
:)
Dear Howard,
I haven’t seen any more of your commentary on the state of this contest, or perhaps I’ve missed it ? I’d say we are in the 9th round, and Illary has gone to the mat a few times. :)
While the Clintons were collecting millions, Hillary Clinton’s Obama's State Department funneled at least $55 million to a group run by the college company, Laureate Education Inc., according to Peter Schweizer’s book “Clinton Cash” as Breitbart reported.
Documents uncovered by Washington-based watchdog Judicial Watch show Laureate Education paid the former president through a “shell corporation” pass-through account that evidently passed State Department scrutiny while Hillary was secretary of state Obama was President.
Write it like that, and watch Obozo turn Lynch loose on Bill and Hill.
That’s as far as I got with the round-by round commentary. It was fun while it lasted. If I feel inspired, I’ll take it up again. “She’s looking dazed and confused. Doesn’t even know which corner to stagger to...”
I was hoping to get it on my website which is under construction https://sonsofconstitutionalliberty.com
Maybe check back later.
