It Gets Worse: Bill Clinton Paid To Install Hillary’s Private Server With Taxpayer Money

by Charlie Spiering 1 Sep 2016

Former president Bill Clinton used taxpayer funds from cash provided to him as an ex-president to pay for employees to set up the family’s private email server, according to a new report from Politico.

Clinton drew money from the General Services account to pay part of his aide Justin Cooper’s salary — the same person who helped set up a private email server in Clinton’s home.

It goes deeper.

Clinton used taxpayer funds to boost the salaries of ten different Clinton loyalists, despite his growing wealth from delivering paid speeches. The funds were also used to purchase equipment for the Clinton foundation.

Bill Clinton used taxpayer money to help fund his family’s foundation and his wife’s controversial private email server, according to a new report.

Politico reported Thursday that Clinton used the decades-old Former President’s Act, a pension set up in 1958 to subsidize staffers and Secret Service protection, to pay for private business and charitable expenses.

The report found the former president used portions of his taxpayer pension to pay for computer equipment, including servers, housed at the Clinton Foundation.

Clinton also used the federal program to supplement the pay and benefits of employees “now at the center of the email and cash-for-access scandals dogging Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign,” reported Politico.

Former President Bill Clinton’s staff spent taxpayer money subsidizing the Clinton Foundation, an associated business and Hillary Clinton’s private email server, according to a new report.

The funds supplemented the benefits and pay of several foundation aides and purchased some of the organization’s IT equipment, Politico said Thursday.

Politico said it obtained records from the General Services Administration (GSA) detailing the spending through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

Who bought Hillary’s e-mail server? You did

Back when Harry Truman left the White House, Congress worried that he and his family might end up in poverty. They created a presidential pension system to allow former chief executives to live comfortably in retirement. Bill Clinton found other uses for the pension, Politico’s Kenneth Vogel reports, including the purchase of the infamous e-mail server system that Hillary Clinton used to thwart legitimate Congressional and judicial oversight of her tenure as Secretary of State:

ITEM---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 the billionaire Clintons IT equipment — including servers — housed at the Clinton Foundation.

<><> Taxpayer cash also supplemented the pay and benefits of several aides now at the center of the email and cash-for-access scandals dogging Hillary..........the aides are also part of her campaign apparat.

But even as the Clintons got rich and grew their foundation into a do-good $2 billion organizationdrawing more cash from the President's Act than any other ex- president, according to a POLITICO analysis.

The analysis also found that Clintons’ representatives, between 2001, when the Clintons left the White House, and the end of this year, had requested allocations under the Act totaling $16 million. (Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...

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

ITEM---The Clinton Foundation states on its website that “All Foundation employees are paid for work through the Foundation payroll. As a former President, President Clinton has separately allocated funding for a private office and for associated costs (rent, utilities, and salaries and benefits for staff). No Foundation staff are paid for Foundation work with taxpayer dollars.” But this latest report suggests that is not true.

<><>Politico finds that the Clinton Foundation’s chief operating officer, Laura Graham, was on the government payroll, as well.

<><> Clinton body man, Doug Band, received taxpayer funds until 2013, the report finds. Teneoe, launched in 2011, Band's powoerhouse financial firm, is said to be the route heavy hitters use to pay up to gain access to the Clintons.

ITEM----On Sept. 16, 2011, the government purchased a $7,707.98 Dell server. On Aug. 2, 2011, the government purchased an Apple Mac mini with Lion Server for $1,284.95. Both were shipped to the Clinton Foundation, according to invoices.

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

To say that politicians are the lowest form of human life does not even begin to describe the Clintons.

Well, don't forget, they were "dead broke" according to that honest, truth sayer, hilLIARy.

These people are liberal democRATS. They don't use their OWN money for things like this. Why not just squeeze some more out of the government teat?

“Or in Poverty!!!”

I’d gladly give the Clintons a job to stay out of poverty.

It seems that this is pension money. To be spent however the former president wants. So, it may not be illegal...but it is incredibly bad optics!

“The investigative report — which the website reported does not reveal any illegal actions — was based on records obtained from the General Services Administration through the Freedom of Information Act.”

Drudge has a link to the Politico story but way down the page. Seems like the kind of thing he would play up big. Odd.
