It clearly pays to be a Clinton

Posted

As Hillary Clinton campaigns to become the next Clinton elected president, questions continue to arise about her four-year tenure at the State Department and the questionable foreign donations that flowed into the Clinton Foundation during that time span.

For years, the Clintons have been held to a different standard when it comes to their ethical shortcuts, but the buck must stop now, before she continues her campaign for the presidency.

It seems like every other month there’s another issue that Mrs. Clinton is forced to deny and deflect. Her incomplete response to the deadly 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, is still under active congressional investigation. What really took place at the U.S. Special Mission there? Did Clinton know of the threats and fail to strengthen security?

Then it was discovered that thousands of emails she generated as secretary of state were not archived as official government records because she used a private email account and a personal server to conduct State Department business. At the request of the State Department, Clinton’s former aides turned over 55,000 pages of emails from her personal account, but there are still many missing emails. The call for disclosure of official emails comes along with a flurry of reports regarding foreign fundraising by the Clinton Foundation, as well as paid speeches by former President Bill Clinton during his wife’s tenure as secretary of state.

Records indicate that of the $105 million the former president raked in from speeches over the past 12 years, about half came during Hillary’s term as head of the State Department.

Peter Schweizer, a conservative author, is set to release a book titled “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.” The New York Times got an advanced copy, and released some excerpts.

Schweizer writes, “During Hillary’s years of public service, the Clintons have conducted or facilitated hundreds of large transactions. Some of these transactions have put millions in their own pockets.”
