POLITICO ^ | September 1, 2016 | Kenneth P. Vogel

Bill Clinton's staff used a decades-old federal government program, originally created to keep former presidents out of the poorhouse, to subsidize his family’s foundation and an associated business, and to support his wife’s private email server, a POLITICO investigation has found.

Taxpayer cash was used to buy IT equipment — including servers — housed at the Clinton Foundation, and also to supplement the pay and benefits of several aides now at the center of the email and cash-for-access scandals dogging Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Didn’t ILLary originally say she used the home server because it was placed in the home for her husband and thereby convenient ? I remember asking at that time “who paid for the server?” I believe it was Maggie who found an article stating that it was set up by the government as part of his office.

I do it periodically but forget sometimes, esp. since I was away from FR for at least a year. Trump’s campaign dragged me back....

A year ago. When the server was first discovered. One of you published a list of all of the accounts listed on the server. There were many to HRC -two or three used most frequently. But others too.(22?) Am fairly certain those included ones for WJC and possibly the Foindation

“”The C/F got IRS’ okay to raise funds for the Arkansas Clinton Library....not as a global “do-good.” Certainly not approved as a global money-raking criminal pay- to-play organization””

I have read that before and wonder the same thing any sane, logical person would wonder - why hasn’t the IRS come down on them and put a stop to it? They sure must acquire some magic juice from somewhere. Always lots of SMOKE surrounding those two but never a FIRE!

There should be a provision for getting rid of people just for “the good of society.”

Two famous democrats who couldn’t keep their pants on:
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
John F. Kennedy
