Historically, the Foundation has not had the resident capacity to raise these funds annually; To raise the more than $120 million the Foundation has used to operate since 2001 – Justin and I have helped to raise the majority of the funds. Since 2006, approximately $6-11 million of the Foundation’s operating costs have been covered by net proceeds from CGI ($46 million total to date). CGI and our fundraising efforts have generated sufficient funds to establish a quasi endowment, which today stands at $18 or so million. Since 2003, we have developed strategies to raise the approximately $6-10 million a year gap between the net proceeds from CGI and our annual operating budget. This gap is largely funded through direct solicitations by Justin and me, some through speeches the President gives on behalf of the Foundation, through events, finding partners throughout the world to donate if we attend there dinner or event, auctions and so on.
Independent of our fundraising and decision-making activities on behalf of the Foundation, we have dedicated ourselves to helping the President secure and engage in for-profit activities – including speeches, books, and advisory service engagements. In that context, we have in effect served as agents, lawyers, managers and implementers to secure speaking, business and advisory service deals. In support of the President’s for-profit activity, we also have solicited and obtained, as appropriate, in-kind services for the President and his family – for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the like.
Neither Justin nor I are separately compensated for these activities (e.g., we do not receive a fee for, or percentage of, the more than $50 million in for-profit activity we have personally helped to secure for President Clinton to date or the $66 million in future contracts, should he choose to continue with those engagements).

Teneo & The Clinton Machine (Re-post of Old Article)

The information contained in the link I provided on Teneo is far more damaging than O’Keefe’s upcoming revelation. Read the attachment.
I read the JW article you linked. You should read the attachment to the Wikileaks email, the subject of this post. It answers many of the questioned on donors and the relationship of Teneo to the CGI and the Clinton Foundation.
I also hope Kim Dotcom wasn’t bluffing either.
The question is, does anyone care?
Of course we Trumpers and Trumpettes care and we know the mindless Hillary followers don’t care about anything. But what about those vacillating undecideds from whom the Clinton Campaign Media keeps these constant revelations of Hillary’s rampant corruption and deceit?
Wow... This memo is the smoking gun as it lays out the ...modus operandi
Per the Attachment:
Teneo
Teneo was established in June 2011. It has three partner/owners – Declan Kelly, Paul Keary and Doug Band. We have offices in 3 places, and employ more than 65 individuals. Teneo provides the following services to its 18 clients: merchant and investment banking services, corporate restructuring, public relations and communication services, and strategic advising services. As of 30 October 2011, we have 20 clients, a list of which is enclosed.
Cognizant of the Foundation’s significant fundraising needs as well my role as the primary fundraiser for the Foundation for the past 11 years, as a partner in Teneo, Mr. Kelley and I have asked and encouraged our clients to contribute to the Foundation. Through our efforts, we have brought new donors to the Foundation and garnered increased giving from existing donors. Additionally, the foundation donors require significant maintenance to keep them engaged and supportive of the foundation. We have sought to make that the case when we could particularly as we are thinking more
long term at things such as estate gifts and planned giving for the foundation.
Leveraging Teneo for the Foundation
Tenor Clients Who are New Large Donors to the Foundation:
Below are Teneo clients who either are new to the Foundation or who previously had a more limited giving relationship with the Foundation (e.g.,CGI membership). As Teneo partners, we have solicited our clients to contribute or to increase their contributions to the Foundation.

From the attachment
“Laureate pays President Clinton $3.5 million annually to provide advice and serve as their Honorary Chairman.”
That’s a lot of money for “advice”
For-Profit Activity of President Clinton (i.e., Bill Clinton, Inc.)
Independent of our fundraising and decision-making activities on behalf of the Foundation, we have dedicated ourselves to helping the President secure and engage in for-profit activities – including speeches, books, and advisory service engagements. In that context, we have in effect served as agents, lawyers, managers and implementers to secure speaking, business and advisory service deals. In support of the President’s for-profit activity, we also have solicited and obtained, as appropriate, in-kind services for the President and his family – for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the like. Neither Justin nor I are separately compensated for these activities (e.g., we do not receive a fee for, or percentage of, the more than $50 million in for-profit activity we have personally helped to secure for President Clinton to date or the $66 million in future contracts, should he choose to continue with those engagements).
With respect to business deals for his advisory services, Justin and I found, developed and brought to President Clinton multiple arrangements for him to accept or reject. Of his current 4 arrangements, we secured all of them; and, we have helped manage and maintain all of his for-profit business relationships. Since 2001, President Clinton’s business arrangements have yielded more than $30 million for him personally, with $66 million to be paid out over the next nine years should he choose to continue with the current engagements.
President Clinton Paid Speeches:
In support of the President’s paid speech activity, Teneo partners have created and secured the following paid speeches for President Clinton.
UBS – $900,000 - $450,000 in 2011; $450,000 to be paid in 2012
Mr. Kelly asked UBS to offer President Clinton paid speeches based upon a concept he developed with Bob Mccann for the firm’s clients. In addition to the $540,000 UBS contributed to the Foundation, Teneo partners have secured a commitment from UBS for President Clinton to deliver three additional paid speeches for them in 2012, should he choose to do so.
Ericson – $750,000 plus $400,000 for a private plane
After meeting one of Director of Ericsson on a business trip, I learned that they were sponsoring an inaugural event in China. I pursued them to invite President Clinton to China to speak at this event. I negotiated a fee for President Clinton of $1 million dollars to speak for two one-hour sessions in Hong Kong, which he did this past weekend. In addition to the $1 million speaking fee, I negotiated additional coverage of the cost of a private plane.
BHP – $175,000 in 2012
BHP is hosting a board of directors meeting in June of 2012. We encouraged them to do it in NY and pay Presdent Clinton through Walker. The offer is currently at the state department being vetted.
Lightining
President Clinton recently turned down a 2 year, $8 million offer to become Honorary Chairman of Mati Kochavi’s new media business venture. Mati is a former client of Teneo who we were referred to through Marty Edelman. I went back to Mati and proposed a new structure without any business connectivity other than 4 speeches for $1 million and $250k to the foundation should President Clinton choose to accept it. That would also include any broadcasting of foundation events or anything President Clinton would like exposure for on his website. This offer will be presented to President Clinton in Walker speech invitations which he can choose to decline or accept with no role or relationship with the company.
Barclays
Teneo cultivated its client relationship to help secure two paid speeches in 2010 and 2011 totaling more than $700,000.
Other Matters:
Justin Cooper and I have, for the past ten years, served as the primary contact and point of management for President Clinton’s activities – which span from political activity (e.g., campaigning on behalf of candidates for elected office), to business activity (e.g., providing advisory services to business entities with which he has a consulting arrangement), to Foundation activity (e.g., supporting his engagement on behalf of the initiatives and affiliated entities of the Foundation), to his speech activity (e.g., soliciting speeches and staffing and supporting him on speech travel) to his book activity (e.g., editing his books and arranging and supporting him on book tours) to supporting family/personal needs (e.g., securing in-kind private airplane travel, in-kind vacation stays, and supporting family business and personal needs). In the unique roles in which we have had the opportunity to serve, we have been able to help balance the multiplicity of activities that demand his time and engagement to best fulfill his personal, political, business, official former President, and Foundation/non-profit goals.
We appreciate the unorthodox nature of our roles, and the goal of seeking ways to ensure we are implementing best practices to protect the 501(c)3 status of the Foundation. As we go forward, we welcome the opportunity to identify better strategies for serving the President, the Foundation and its affiliated entities.
The second question is, how many people understand this corruption? Even if they hear about it, how much meaning will it have?
Unless the media tells voters, “This is really bad! This is terrible corruption,” most people don’t get it. Or they think Hillary’s opponents are exaggerating.
BFL
Yup, time for Americans to start thinking for themselves once again like they used to. That means many need a re-education about what’s really true. Somehow, that needs to happen. A good starting place is
1) learning the biblical grace of the Lord Jesus Christ (the beginning of wisdom and knowledge (Prov 1:7, 9:10)) and
2) learning about THEIR Constitution, its basis, structure, text and how it has been twisted and perverted by the Left to give the government more power, not constitutional limited power.
Americans need to wean themselves from the toxic and corrupt media and government who constantly lie and misinform.
While people like myself may find this fascinating. We can hardly understand what it means in legal terms. That is what needs to be explained in as simple of terms as possible if this is to really mean anything to the average person.
If no one cares, then the Republic is already lost. At least those of us who do care should get this out in the public square. Hopefully, Hannity or Drudge or the Conservative Tree house will focus on it and give it the attention it deserves.
I wonder if the Clintons are including these in-kind services as part of their taxable income.
My democrat friends who are also low information voters, have no clue what the big fuss is about Hillary’s emails. Even if you get them to acknowledge the server she set up, they still don’t get it.
The Donald Duck and working illegally with super PACs — my friends don’t think it is a big deal. These people are old enough that they remember Nixon, but they don’t understand campaign laws or why they exist.
At the same time, the holler and scream about money in politics and believe Republicans are the ones with all the money from 1 percenters.
We are losing the Republic, no question about that, but the same Divine Providence that was behind the miraculous founding of America is now behind its restoration I believe.
To facilitate America’s restoration, however, Americans need to start thinking for themselves once again like they used to. That means many need a re-education about what’s really true. Somehow, that needs to happen. A good starting place is
1) learning the biblical grace of the Lord Jesus Christ (the beginning of wisdom and knowledge (Prov 1:7, 9:10)) and
2) learning about THEIR Constitution, its basis, structure, text and how it has been twisted and perverted by the Left to give the government more power, not constitutional limited power.
