Bill Clinton Tried To Give Paid Speeches To North Korea & Congo While Hillary Was Secretary Of State

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

With each passing day, it become clearer and clearer just what a crumbling charade of greed, cronyism and phony humanitarianism the Clinton family really is. In the latest revelation, we find out that Bill Clinton tried to get State Department support to deliver paid speeches to two of the most repressive regimes in the world: North Korea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Apparently, the $48 million “Slick Willie” raked in during the four years Hillary was Secretary of State wasn’t enough to “pay the bills.”

We learn from ABC News:

ABC News has obtained State Department e-mails that shed light on Bill Clinton’s lucrative speaking engagements and show he and the Clinton Foundation tried to get approval for invitations related to two of the most repressive countries in the world — North Korea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

 

While Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, Bill Clinton earned speaking fees around the globe totaling more than $48 million — speeches that had to be vetted by the State Department to ensure there were no conflicts of interest with his wife’s work as America’s top diplomat. These newly revealed emails show speech requests that the State Department refused to approve.

 

One email sent in June 2012 to Clinton State Department chief of staff Cheryl Mills from Amitabh Desai, a foreign policy director at the Clinton Foundation, passed on an invitation for a speaking engagement in Brazzaville, Congo.

 

The catch? The dictators of Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo would both be attending — and required photos with Bill Clinton. The speaking fee? A whopping $650,000. 

 

A second email thread in May 2012 shows another potentially thorny event — subject line: “North Korea invitation.”

 

“Is it safe to assume [the U.S. Government] would have concerns about WJC accepting the attached invitation related to North Korea?” Desai wrote in an e-mail to Mills and two other State Department officials –Jake Sullivan, then-director of Policy Planning Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff, and Michael Fuchs, then a special assistant to the Secretary of State who now serves as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Strategy and Multilateral Affairs in the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs.

 

Mills two-word response? “Decline it.”

 

But the Clinton Foundation followed up three weeks later, saying the invite came via Hillary Clinton’s brother Tony Rodham.

“We would be grateful for any specific concerns that we could share,” Desai wrote. “Tony is seeing WJC in a couple hours.”

 

The Office of President Clinton confirmed to ABC News that the former president did not deliver either of the speeches.

 

“As a matter of course, all requests were run by the State Department. Ultimately, the President did not give these speeches,” Angel Urena, press secretary in the Office of President Clinton, told ABC News.

Yeah, he didn’t give the speeches because the State Department denied him. If it was up to Bill, he would’ve been in the Congo taking pictures with forest elephants and feasting on human suffering with the nation’s dictator in a heartbeat.

Bill Clinton delivered 215 speeches totaling over $48 million in the four years Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.

“I did not have financial relations with that dictator.”

The Best part is that the Clinton Foundation is a not for profit 501 c so they pay NO INCOME TAX.  Now go to workSheep and pay your taxes.

Indeed.

Only a complete fool would believe that the kind of people who have the bankrolls to afford to pay for these 'speeches' don't expect something more than an hour of happy talk for that kind of loot.

One has to ask:

WHAT DO THEY GET from the Clintons for that loot?

WHAT IS THE ROI on paying Bill 'to speak at an event'?

$48 million in 365 days works out to be a fairly undecent figure per hour of work IMHO. This is way beyond GREED, Mr. Gecko.

And I'm sure that 48 million does not include the lear jets to get him there, not to mention the hotel stays for himself and staff, food etc. I'm sure we - as tax paying Americans - also pay for the Secret Service contingent that has to protect him on these income generating adventures.

Actually was over 4 years. So $12M a year / 365 = $1,369 an hour. just over $32K per day. Every day For 4 years.

And he wanted to do more speeches in the Congo and North Korea?

Was not surprised by the mention of Hillary's brother Hugh Rodham. Wonder what Hugh's "finder's fee" was going to be. At least Billy Carter was harmless.

You know what makes a great con artist successful?

Charisma

Everyone likes and trusts the great con man until they find out he or she is evil :)  And then there are those who would not believe, like those who still honor Adolph and Charles Manson.

People around the world have been deluded into thinking that the man or woman up there talking to them is not of the same species, they have two arms, two legs , a head and torso, no?

In people's quest for a savior to idolize, guys like Clinton, Obama, Trump, Bush and so on truly make hay :)

More than $223K a week for doing one or less appearances a week.

IF he speaks for full 1+1/2 hours he is closing on $150K and hour AT the lecturn. 

President makes $400K a year.

Bill is pulling in way more in TWO weeks than he did a year as President.

 

You can't tell me he is only selling speeches at those prices.

NO way.  Fuck NO.  Not buying it...

If there were any decent, real Americans in the Secret Service they would have killed these evil Clinton scumbags long ago instead of protecting them from prosecution for their predations against the American People. But, the organs of American State Security and Law Enforcement are filled from the gutters with evil soulless automatons who see nothing wrong with the crimes committed by the Clinton's, Bush's, Obama's, etc. Therefore, it's up to the American People to seek justice.

The Clintoon Foundation - what a laugh. I'd bet there are at least a dozen 'pay to play' emails on Hildabest's servers.

So you want a peice of the State Dept 200MM grant to study gay dolphins in Aruba? Send a check for 10% to the 'Foundation' and you'll be top of the list.

This is what they have done for feckin' decades.

But remember....it's for the kiddies.

It will be  interesting to see what happens to the revenues of the Clinton Foundation after the next Presidential election. I predict a bi-polar outcome. If Hillary gets in, it will at least double in size. If not, it craters to less than half of what it is today.

How much do the taxpayers pay for his Security and Travel and maybe even his ( as well as his wife) Food?  Whatever the cost of those items are - that money should be paid back to the taxpayers. Ditto for any surviving politician who receives those benefits also. Google a fellow named Cincinnatus and discover what it means to be a leader and not a hanger on.

It is so obvious how the Clinton's operate. Tony Rodham travels the world making business deals, seeking mining franchises, return of  favors, Foundation contributions and speech appointments for Wild Bill.  Is it any wonder Hillary had a personal Email account at the State Dept. ?  Just to know who she corresponded with and on what subjects should be a focus of the ongoing investigation.  No doubt Hubby was consulted by Email on every Hillary decision, foriegn trip, diplomatic visitation, lobbying agenda  and trips to the bathroom. A very strange family-- not exactly what our forefathers had in mind.

You know, as time goes by, I am soooo happy that I never voted for Klinton or it's wife, Bruno.  Back in the nineties I fell in love with a woman who wasa big Klinton supporter but she wound up rejecting me.  As time went by, I started to notice something about any woman who voted for Klinton.  They all have some form of brain damage!  I mean they are infatuated with a guy who treats women who wothey themselves would never let anyone treat them in the same way - unless it's Klinton himself.  So every time I find out that a broad has voted for Klinton, She is some kind of idiot or academic tool that will never allow a man to have his own opinion at all.  As a matter of fact, the more I see of these women and how they have wrecked our society, the more I am convinced that disenfranchising them is for our own good.
