Bill Clinton Made $8 Million From Speeches To Companies With Matters Pending Before Hillary's State Dept
One of the ways Donald Trump has been able to curry favor among an electorate that's increasingly fed up with business as usual inside the Beltway, is to appeal to voters’ ingrained belief that everyone in Washington is effectively beholden to outside interests and campaign donors.
By virtue of his self-funded campaign, Trump isn’t beholden to anyone - or at least that’s what he’ll tell you.
Perhaps more than any other candidate, Hillary Clinton raises eyebrows when it comes to conflicts of interest. As we documented extensively earlier this year, contributions to the Clinton Foundation have come under scrutiny, especially after the charity said it would refile five years of tax returns after failing to properly account for donations from foreign governments.
As IB Times reported back in May, Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved $165 billion in arms deals to nations who had previously given money to the Clinton Foundation. The charity also received some $7 million in donations from the MIC which benefited directly from State Department arms export approvals:

But it wasn’t just charity donations that drew public scrutiny.There was also the issue of Bill and Hillary’s lucrative speaking engagements which pay nearly a quarter of a million dollars a pop. Here is the complete breakdown for the couple:
Obviously, the potential exists for those paying for the speeches to use the lucrative events as a way to gain undue influence over what goes on in Washington. For instance, some suggest there may be a connection between a $200,000 payment made to Bill Clinton by Goldman Sachs in 2011 and the bank’s efforts to lobby the State Department ahead of legislation involving the Export-Import Bank which was set to provide a loan that would end up financing the purchase of millions of dollars in aircraft from a company partially owned by Goldman.
On Thursday, WSJ is out with a fresh look at the connection between Clinton's State Department and her husband's speaking tour.
"More than two dozen companies and groups and one foreign government paid former President Bill Clinton a total of more than $8 million to give speeches around the time they also had matters before Mrs. Clinton’s State Department," The Journal says, adding that "fifteen of them also donated a total of between $5 million and $15 million to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, the family’s charity." Here's more:
In several instances, State Department actions benefited those that paid Mr. Clinton.
Mr. Clinton, for example, collected $1 million for two appearances sponsored by the Abu Dhabi government that were arranged while Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state. His speeches there came during and after the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security were involved in discussions about a plan to open a U.S. facility in the Abu Dhabi airport to ease visa processing for travel to the U.S. The State Department supported the facility in the face of substantial opposition from unions, members of Congress and others.
Mr. Clinton was paid for more than 200 speeches while Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state, according to his wife’s disclosure forms. Documents released thus far by the State Department show the ethics office turned down five of his speech requests, including proposed talks sponsored by North Korea, China and the Republic of Congo.
The State Department got involved in the Abu Dhabi matter after the capital of the United Arab Emirates asked for a facility to clear travelers for U.S. entry before they boarded planes so they could avoid delays when arriving in the U.S.
According to two former State Department officials who worked on the matter, the U.S. wanted to help an important ally.
U.S.-based airlines, which have no direct flights between Abu Dhabi and the U.S., opposed the idea as a giveaway to the government-owned airline, Etihad Airways.
While Mrs. Clinton’s State Department and the Department of Homeland Security were working out a “letter of intent” with Abu Dhabi for the facility, Mr. Clinton sought permission to give a paid speech in Abu Dhabi.
On Dec. 6, 2011, U.S. officials signed the letter of intent. One week later, Mr. Clinton gave a 20-minute talk on climate change to the Abu Dhabi government environmental gathering. He collected $500,000, his wife’s disclosure report shows.
Mr. Clinton also had a large payday from Oracle Corp.: a total of $500,000 for two talks given or approved while Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state. He gave one in October 2012 as the company was urging the State Department to increase the number of skilled-worker visas being issued, lobbying reports show.
And on, and on.
Of course the Clinton's deny there's any connection despite the rather obvious parallels and convenient timing. "No evidence exists" to link any actions taken by Mrs. Clinton’s State Department to organizations hosting Mr. Clinton’s speeches, Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon told The Journal.
Yes, "no evidence exists," other than the $8 million Bill made from speeches made to companies who had "matters pending" with Hillary's State Department. That's just a coincidence.
Don't worry though - none of this will happen if Hillary wins the White House. Bill says that although he'll still give speeches "on subjects [he's] interested in," he "doesn't think" he'll accept any payment.

What difference does it matter!
Cut 'em some slack, the poor dears were broke when they left the White House.
How hard is it who ever runs against the Clintons to show they are corrupt they are? If Americans are informed how fucking stupid can they really be? Ok, now i am worried
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman!"... (SMART), Gonna have to reconsider this!
Yep, ol' Slick and his wife are blatant speech-whores for their illegal Clinton Crime Family Foundation. Too bad Obozo has already told his IRS not to investigate.
bribes
Where is Bonzai?
We need a new Hitlery Logo that shows her with “For Sale” on her forehead and Bill sitting behind a cash register wearing a green eye shade.
"Drag Dollar Bill through a trailer pawk and ya navah know what you'll get!"
#WarOnWomen ;-)
Why did Bill cross the road?
Because he was still stuck to the chicken...
Ho Ho Ho Green Giant
Someone needs to ask Hillary: Knowing your husbands fetishes, do you enjoy a good cigar every now and then?
How These Criminal Psychopath Scum Fucks aren't in Prison awaiting Execution is mind boggling.
Hitlery Clinton is a tired old bull dyke. But she still wears the strap-on in the family.
They've done very well for Arkansas white trash - you've gotta give them that.
Time to watch the Clinton chronicals again.

Bill "I did not have sex with that woman" Clinton?
That fellow? Too bad for Bill that Monica held on to that cum-stained dress. She can probably sell it on FleaBay for a few hundred thousand [since Bill will be the highest bidder].
It's blindingly obvious that this article was written by a jealous Republicon!
What is entirely obvious is that you are a complete fucking moron.
We know that all politicians are liars and work the system.
The difference is that the other at least try to keep a facade of legitimacy.
The Clintons are blatant and do not care because there are enough morons like you to give them cover.
never ask a question for which you don't know the answer
you know I feel the same way about our criminally corrupt wars, our criminal debt, our criminal banks, our criminal healthcare....
I'm sure the New Year will be Happy
or fuck it, let's drink anyways
remain calm
"If Americans are informed how fucking stupid can they really be?"
Pretty scary, huh?
What possibly could these two people say that has ANY value?
And they call me a useless eater. LOL
this is how they left the white house http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/12/31/many-2016-voters-dont-kno...
low rent white trash. just like his road whore mama. b hussein homobama's mama was a skank road whore also.
I want to see the day that "Terrorists" start taking out people like the Clintons. I'm pretty sure they would be viewed as actual Liberators.
It doesn't matter much at all, and it never will. If you think this is bad, wait until she starts selling Presidential influence . . . they will reap billions for that.
remain calm: What difference does it matter!
Semantics.
Bill might have an issue with the word Is—but not with the word Money.
Hmmm, the only question is... Was this a Cloward or Piven strategy?
Good news is.....at least during the time he's giving the speech he's not raping another woman.
Business as usual.....
Nothing to see here, move along!
Bunga Bunga Bill.
How many free cigars(nudge nudge) did he get ?
We bribed some folks...
chump. change. $$ for chumps
The Clintons are just F**kin self interest thiefs and liars.
no wonder they've been in public service so long
At least this guy smiles

I can't think of another couple, that I'd rather see the news headline of their fatal plane crash.
Even if it crashed on top of my own fucking house.
be careful, they might use that post to kill you
Yeah, as an Arkansas resident during their reign here, I followed their Body Count in real time (way before it was cool).
I also left town whenever they came here. For that, I sincerely apologize. I should've stayed, and done my civic duty...
It doesn't matter how corrupt demoncrats are shown to be leftard minions will keep worshipping them.
We've become a nation of morons....
Clinton Most Admired Woman for Record 20th Time"Americans again name Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama the woman and man living anywhere in the world they admire most. Both win by wide margins over the next-closest finishers, "
http://www.gallup.com/poll/187922/clinton-admired-woman-record-20th-time...
The sheerest of coincidence since we know the Clintons are poor as church mice and incorruptible. Now excuse me while I get the rotgut out and kill the brain cells that thought that sentence up......
He needs to change his name back to Blythe . Hillarys giving him a bad name
And Bubba Trump called him a Great President
Hillary held up ASU for 600K. Don't see that figure here.
Oh Wait - My mistake, ONLY $500K.
ASU forking over $500,000 to the Clintons was foolishWhat would the criminal charge be?
the initial charges would be RICO and influence peddling and then gets worse from there.
Treason (Bengazi), War Crimes (Lybia, Syria, Ukraine, Bosnia-for Bill. Murder (See Clinton Murder list)
That's for starters.
Don't forget that during the 90's when the Clintons were in the WH #BlackLivesDidnotMatter. For-profit prisons donating large sums to the Clintons to push an agenda of mandatory minimums and three strike laws that pulled half of the black male population into the prison system so the Clintons and Corporatists could rake in the $$$.
I find it odd that #BlackLivesMatter does not link the Clintons to this hate crime. It gets one to wonder if this movement that had started from anonymous activism distributed through online media was actually started by Clinton operatives to get a high Democrat turnout and subsequent Clinton win.
Imagine the “honorariums” greasing the wheels of crony capitalism if Hitlery is elected…
long-only, algo-ramp getting juiced-up & ready to fire away
What difference does it make.thanks to Trump's bullshit shenanigans, she will be our next Presidemt
Err, NO ! But keep dreaming if it makes you feel any better...
I can assure you friend, a Hellary president is mot what I want
The Clinton's represent everything that's good about Amurika. Sarc
and the dried up, lying,crooked,psychotic,completely self involved, criminal, plastic, cunt, whore of a sea hag wants to be president. are demoncrats, people with vaginas who might vote for this bitch REALLY THAT STUPID? i fear the answer to that question is a resounding yes
Be afraid, be VERY afraid!!

There is no such thing as enough money for that twisted couple. She looks like a soggy biscuit, you would think that they would want to enjoy some of their life before the wheels fall off but nooo... MUST HAVE MORE POWER.
He's also been accused of rape and assault by numerous women. And in one case had to pay a civil settlement to one of these woman.
that's why he got the boot from Oxford...rape.
<add $10,000 dollars to the Bill & Hillary concrete boot fund
<add $10,000 dollars to Hillary's presidential election fund
When you say the name Clinton you are speaking of the lowest of the lowlifes!
Born trash and always will be trash. Birds of a feather, flock together.
And butt ugly to boot!
Could you imgine waking up to that in the bed.
You'd have to pay me a lot more than $8m.
According to his secret service agents (which we the taxpayers pay for), Bill is waking up with lots of women - none of whom is Hilary.
Hilary's secret service has a (probably not so secret anymore) phrase to warn Bill's secret service detail to hide the harem or sneak them out the back door. "The witch is home!" is apparently not the phrase.
The fact that the two secret service details are coordinating lies between the happy couple says a lot more about them then you will ever read in the NY Times or WaPo.
And Americans think he only shoved those cigars down both of Porky's holes...
Most epic mega-grifters in history.
The Cook county community organizer's mob friends and supporters must be stunned at the depth and breadth of influence peddling and protection racket money available at the federal level to non-made crooks like Killary and Bubba.
They are the best money can buy, because they're cheap and easy. No
conflict of interest is too great for the Clintonian Sleazemobile.
I have been saying all along, this is the biggest political slush fund in history...they learned well from the Bush's.
It would be interesting to compare the speeches. I bet they are the so called "canned" speeches-could almost be read from a teleprompter- although I think that the the ability of both Clintons to lie, lie, lie explains why they don't need teleprompters. The only thing wrong with this theory is why then does Obama need teleprompter to remind him for everything, even chew gum on left side, now chew gum on the right side?
The electorate would become suspicious if he looked and acted and spoke without a telepromter like Howdy Doody did half a century ago.
How about a talk , or a book even, on " The art of the sexual assault, and how to cover it up"?
Hey.
FUCK HILLARY CLINTON.
Hey Hillary... are you happy?
How would YOU like a knife to core your asshole.....just like you did to Gadaffi?

and then there's this fucking genius......
“I mean, I love Bernie — Bernie’s a man of the people — but he can’t win,” Jackson continued. "So I gotta cast my vote for a person that can keep those other people from winning, okay?"
Jackson argued that Clinton’s past political experience gives her a significant edge over other White House hopefuls from both parties."

AS THEY SAY "FOLLOW THE MONEY"
Drag a hundred dollar bill across the courtyard and hear the Hildabeast cackle.
cheap whores. the billionaires laugh at them behind their backs.
I wonder what the Clinton BS would be worth if there wasn't a fiat based currency.
Speakers fees for people still in public office or immediate relatives of people still in public office = influence peddling.
Period, end of story...
He could have made more., but he was doing this out of the kindmess of his heart.
(And the hot chicks he could meet on the ride)
Laws and rules only apply to the working poor.
If Bill made only $8 million I'm both disappointed and more than a little suspicious. Me thinks there is more hidden elsewhere.
In fact an associate told me that he had bumped into Bill at a function quite a few years ago and told the associate to buy gold because it was going to shoot. I suspect Bill and Hillary are also getting donations in kind.
And Lardass Loretta, Eric "Roach" Holder's deformed sister, doesn't even consider opening an investigation, ditto the totally corrupt RHINOs in congress... maybe Comey can save the day, if he is not bribed or murdered first.
This will only get worse. More blatant. More abusive.

This proves how VALUELESS the USD really is. Those fees used to be real money. Forgetting about the audiences - the buyers overpaid for the words they heard. I would bet too that whatever may have been promised to the buyers, if anything, was not delivered as specified.
The Secretary of State has $165 BILLION in discretionary spending for weapons of mass destruction???
How different would the world be and how many millions of lives would not have been destroyed had Hillary been on a $50.00 per diem?
This is so obscene that the teen sex slave orgy shit on Jeffrey Epstein's Island seems tame.
Don't matter. The lemmings will still line up to vote for Hillary.
Gah!! Why did you have to put her picture at the end?? Pass me the eye bleach!

Would someone please explain to me why she is not in jail?
If The Donald can prevail, then these two cancerous lesions lose their influence pedalling ability and instantly go the way of Jeb and the Bush crime family.
Then we'll see how much the warmongering whore corporations donate to a sham foundation.
That will be a great day in America.
