Kind of hard to keep living large when large means within the Clinton reach... that granted.
This is ONLY possible when you create and cultivate DIVISIVENESS.
Good point.
An African church does not give $10 Million to a foreign politician without expecting something in return.
I wonder if they got it.
They were just laundering it and no doubt got a fee.
Will any of the Pubbie candidates have the balls to call her out on this? I hope to goodness that Ted Cruz’s handlers are keeping a file on all this crap so he can hit her in the face with it in the Debates?
How the hell does a church have that kind of money to throw around?

I read an article on this recently and it seems that it is not just one church but it is the Denominal Organization of many affiliated churches making the payoff.
The GOP needs to dig and dig until they come up with a video of the Bishop, or whomever, calling gays “devils” and “queers”. Then it needs to be aired in the General Election campaign, explaining that Bill and Hillary are glad to accept money from, and be affiliated with, churches that say gays are devils.
The mega-funded Clinton Health Initiative (Chai) received up to $$10m from Cameroon Baptist Convention's health board .... a church that says homosexuality is on a par with incest and bestiality. These views of the Cameroon Baptist church are shared by some US denominations but seem directly at odds with those of the Clintons and other donors
Hillary launched her campaign with a video featuring a same-sex couple about to get married. Other Clinton donors include Elton John's AIDS foundation - Sir Elton recently married his male partner.
==========================================
Odd isn't it ....a far-off Cameroon Baptist church has $10 million bucks laying around which they chose to donate to the Clintons.
Can you say kickback? Looks like then-SoS Hillary calculatedly allocated US foreign aid tax dollars to the oil-rich area in Africa... "for the children" programs figure prominently.

US DEPT OF STATE REFERENCE--- Bilateral Economic Relations
Cameroon is eligible for preferential trade benefits under the African Growth and Opportunity Act. Cameroon's exports to the United States include petroleum, cocoa, rubber, timber, and coffee while imports from the United States include machinery, chemicals, aircraft, vehicles, and plastics.
The United States is a leading investor in Cameroon, largely through the Chad-Cameroon petroleum pipeline project. The United States and Cameroon have a bilateral investment treaty.
U.S. Assistance to Cameroon
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) runs a number of programs in Cameroon, mainly through its regional office in Ghana, and primarily in the health sector. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) also has activities in Cameroon, mostly in HIV/AIDS prevention. Peace Corps volunteers work in maternal child health, youth empowerment, and sustainable livelihoods.
The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Cameroon organizes and funds diverse cultural, educational, and informational exchanges. It maintains a library and helps foster the development of Cameroon's independent press by providing information in a number of areas, including U.S. human rights and democratization policies. The Embassy administers both the Ambassador’s Special Self-Help and Democracy and Human Rights Fund programs and the Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation.
Through several State Department and USAID regional funds, the Embassy also provides funds for biodiversity protection, refugees, civic engagement in elections processes, democratization, human rights, countering violent extremism, and education (Boko Haran is active there).

“These irregularities are of sufficient magnitude that if any of the 50 state attorneys general should present the evidence to a federal district judge, I believe an injunction would be ordered, shutting down the Clinton Foundation and placing the organization in receivership,” he said.

BACKSTORY Ira C. Magaziner, who was a Rhodes scholar with Mr. Clinton and ran Mrs. Clinton’s failed attempt at a health care overhaul in the 1990s, runs the Clinton Health Access Initiative. Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Magaziner's salary is $400,000 annual....plus the many perks that go along w/ a "charity" that budgets $100 million per year.
CHAI received hundreds of millions from foreign nations between 2009 and 2014, including: the UK ($79.7 million), Australia ($58.6 million), Norway ($38.1 million), Canada ($12.1 million), Ireland ($11.7 million), Sweden ($7.2 million), and New Zealand ($1.2 million).
A Boston Globe investigative report found that foreign donations “sharply accelerated” to CHAI when Hillary Clinton became secretary of state. “Government grants, nearly all from foreign countries, doubled to $55.9 million in 2013 from $26.7 million in 2010, according to the records,” the report said.
The CHAI health initiative broke off into a nonprofit separate from the Clinton Foundation in 2010, though it is still chaired by Bill and Chelsea Clinton. The charities have remained intertwined. CHAI received a $2 million cash grant from the Clinton Foundation for “Haiti relief,” according to the group’s 2013 tax filing. It received a $4 million cash grant from the foundation for “program service” in 2012.
Magaziner formerly ran the foundation’s Clinton Climate Initiative while also running CHAI, though he ceded control over the environmental group late last year. He was paid $415,000 in salary and consulting fees from the Clinton Foundation in 2013, according to Politico. Bruce Lindsey, Bill Clinton’s longtime lawyer and chairman of the board of the Clinton Foundation, was the highest paid official at CHAI, paid $398,159 in salary and benefits in 2013 as a board member.
Reporting by Reuters has already forced the Clinton Foundation to admit that at a minimum its IRS filings from 2010 through 2012 and those of its Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) from 2012 and 2013 are works of fiction.
According to Reuters, “[f]or three years in a row beginning in 2010, the Clinton Foundation reported to the IRS that it received zero in funds from foreign and U.S. governments, a dramatic fall-off from the tens of millions of dollars in foreign government contributions reported in preceding years.”
=============================================
The Clinton Foundation and Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) its major health-related offshoot received over $7 million from the US government in recent years, according to an analysis of public records conducted by the Washington Free Beacon.
The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), chaired by Bill Clinton and run by the former president’s long-time associate Ira Magaziner, has received $6,010,898 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) since 2010.
CHAI, the biggest arm of the Clinton family’s charitable efforts, accounting for 60 percent of all spending, received $3,193,500 in fiscal years 2010, 2011, and 2012, according to federal contracts, during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.
The CHAI organization received an additional $2,817,398 from the CDC in FYs 2013, 2014, and 2015. The grants, including $200,000 awarded as recently as January, have gone to CHAI’s Global AIDS program, filed under “Global Health and Child Survival.” The CDC is listed as a $1-10 million contributor to CHAI, according to its donor list.
