"But what the Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at the expense of the American people. And they feel thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power, use it to enrich themselves and their friends. They are amoral, immoral, and venal. Hillary has no core beliefs beyond power and money. That should be clear to every person on the planet by now." ---- Patricia McCarthy

DAUGHTER OF SERIAL RAPIST BILLARY, CHELSEA CLINTON SUCKS OFF THE CORPORATE BRIBES MACHINE
Turns Out Hunter Biden Isn't the
Only One Benefiting From His Parents' Careers. So Is Chelsea Clinton.
It
turns out that Hunter Biden isn't the only one who is rolling in the dough
thanks to his parents' political career. Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of
former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,
has made $9 million since 2011 for sitting on the board of IAC/InterActiveCorp,
a media and internet investment company, The Hill reported. The company has stock in 150 well-known brands,
like Tinder, Match, Vimeo, Angie's List, Home Advisor and the Daily
Beast.
According
to Barron's, Clinton has sat on the board of IAC since 2011. Part of her
agreement is to receive "an annual $50,000 retainer and $250,000 in
restricted IAC stock units."
A
December filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission revealed Clinton
"owned the equivalent of 35,242 IAC shares, consisting of 29,843 shares
and 5,399 share units under a deferred-compensation plan," which is worth
almost $9 million dollars. Once a board member quits, their share units convert
to stocks, Barron's reported.
Clinton's
stock has skyrocketed. In June it was worth 7.2 million and in October 2018
that same stock was worth 6.6 million.
In
addition to sitting on IAC's board, Clinton sits on the board of Expedia Group.
That position typically pays $250,000, at least as of 2015.
And in
2013 and part of 2014, Clinton worked as a special correspondent for NBC News.
The position carried an annual salary of $600,000
According
to The Hill, IAC and Expedia Group are controlled by Barry Diller. And guess
what? He's a powerful TV and businessman who is friends with Hillary Clinton.
Nepotism
is alive and well in the Swamp. This is yet another example of why average
Americans hate politics and the favoritism that takes place amongst the rich
and powerful.
Chelsea
Clinton Rakes in $9 Million as Corporate Board Director
Former first daughter Chelsea
Clinton made $9 million while serving as a board member for the
IAC/InterActiveCorp since 2011.
“Barron’s reported Sunday that Clinton has
profited handsomely as a board member for IAC/InterActiveCorp, a media and
internet investment company that has an ownership stake in 150 well-known
brands, such as Vimeo, Tinder, Angie’s List and Home Advisor,” according to
the Hill.
Clinton,
the only child of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton, has served on IAC’s board since 2011 and
receives an annual $50,000 retainer and $250,000 worth of restricted IAC stock
units. She reported owning $8.95 million worth of IAC stock to the
Securities and Exchange Commission at the end of December.
Barron’s
notes that IAC’s stock has risen 89 percent, 50 percent and 36 percent in 2017,
2018 and 2019, respectively, a far steeper rise than the broader stock
market. Clinton’s public profile has proved a valuable commodity.
In
October 2018, Clinton reportedly earned $6.6 million for joining
the IAC’s board. However, it was unclear at the time what exactly her role
entailed.
As
vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, she worked “to drive the vision and
programmatic objectives” of the foundation, according to its website.
The
site continued:
Chelsea
is a tireless advocate for expanding access to early childhood education,
improving the health and well-being of Americans across the country, providing
the next generation of young leaders with the resources they need to turn their
ideas into action, and ensuring the empowerment of girls and women is a
cross-cutting priority across all of the Foundation’s programs and initiatives.
However, while serving as Secretary
of State, Hillary Clinton “conducted business with dictators in countries with
deplorable human rights records — even honoring some dictators as
guests at Clinton Foundation galas,” Breitbart News reported in July 2016.
In
November, Government Accountability Institute President Peter
Schweizer said the foundation saw a
drop in donations over the past three years.
“This
the past year, the Clinton Foundation literally raised 10% of what it did
in 2009, the first year that Hillary was secretary of state, and the
international numbers were even worse,” Schweizer said.
“The
Clinton Foundation has had a hard time raising money because they don’t have
the influence to sell. They don’t have power access to sell, and that, I think,
is the primary evidence for what the Clinton enterprise was all about,” he
concluded.
One topic that Hillary is quick to criticize President Trump on is his relationship with Saudia Arabia. It’s ironic given the Clinton Foundation’s refusal to state that they will no longer accept financial donations from The Kingdom as others have.
But the Clinton Foundation, to which donations declined dramatically after Clinton’s 2016 defeat, has taken multi-million dollar contributions from Saudi Arabia in the past and isn’t ruling out continuing to accept them.
The Clinton Foundation accepted between $10 and $25 million from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with donations coming as late as 2014. A now-defunct group named “Friends of Saudi Arabia,” which was reportedly co-founded by a Saudi Prince and often worked as a PR front for the kingdom, also donated between $1 and $5 million.
2008: Hillary Clinton Warned ‘If I Am the President, We Will Attack Iran’ to Defend Israel

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton warned in 2008 that she was prepared to “obliterate” Iran if it produced a nuclear weapon and promised to retaliate if the country launched a nuclear attack on Israel.
Clips of Clinton’s rhetoric resurfaced after social media users protested President Donald Trump’s decision to kill Iranian Quds force commander Qasem Soleimani which resulted in retaliatory airstrikes from Iran on Tuesday night.
The hashtag #IvotedforHillaryClinton trended on Twitter on Wednesday morning, a trend that Clinton participated in with a taunting gif.
But Clinton may have forgotten her own hawkish rhetoric during the 2008 primary.
Ahead of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary that April, Hillary Clinton was asked by Good Morning Americawhat she would do if Israel was attacked by Iran.
“If Iran were to launch a nuclear attack on Israel, what would our response be?” Clinton said in an interview with then-host Chris Cuomo. “I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran. That’s what we will do. There is no safe haven.”
She also warned that if Iran developed a nuclear weapon, the United States had the power to “totally obliterate” the country.
“Whatever stage of development they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the next 10 years during which they may foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them,” she said.
She admitted that her comment was “terrible” but said it was important to “deter” Iran from attacking Israel.
“That’s a terrible thing to say but those people who run Iran need to understand that because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic,” she added.
At the time, Sen. Barack Obama criticized Clinton for sounding like a warmonger.
“It’s not the language we need right now, and I think it’s language reflective of George Bush,” Obama said in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press afterwards.
After he was elected president, Obama pursued a policy of appeasement with Iran after appointing Clinton as Secretary of State. But Clinton left the administration prior to Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, leaving Secretary of State John Kerry to complete the deal.
Bill And Hillary Tour Underwhelms In Ticket Sales, Attendance
KAREN TOWNSENDPosted at 5:31 pm on December 1, 2018
Bill and Hillary Clinton have taken their show on the road. Ticket sales for “An Evening with the Clintons” are not what they once might have been, according to all reports. With stops deliberately booked in what are assumed to be Clinton-friendly cities, the aging power couple seems to be having trouble filling seats.
It’s not exactly a whirlwind tour. The schedule is downright lethargic in the beginning. The first stop on November 27 was in Toronto, Canada with a stop the next night in Montreal. The next stop on the schedule is Houston on December 4. In light of the passing of former President George H.W. Bush, that date may be canceled or changed. But, that’s all there is to the tour until 2019. They start back up in April 2019 in New York City and continue through May, ending in Las Vegas on May 5. Does anyone else think it’s odd that a former U.S. president and a former Secretary of State began a self-promoting tour in Canada? Maybe it’s just me.
The venue in Toronto only sold 3,300 tickets. Whole sections of the arena were empty. I checked the website for ticket prices and for the Houston stop, the cheap seats go for $15.00 and the most expensive ticket price I could find was $1146.00. That’s a real bargain, especially compared to the book tour events (it’s not just a book tour, they are events) scheduled for former First Lady Michelle Obama. The high-end prices for the Michelle tour go for $10,000. That is what I found and it’s not a stop in Houston but in Dallas at the American Airlines Center. The Clinton venue in Houston is smaller.
Anyway, you won’t be surprised to read that a good bit of the Clinton question and answer conversation centers around her bitterness toward President Trump. He lives rent-free in her head.
And the former secretary of state was prepared to mock Trump’s interview with the Washington Post just hours after it published, shaking her head at Trump telling the paper “my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else’s brain can ever tell me.”
You “literally you can’t make this stuff up,” she said. “A dozen times a day your head is spinning.”< And near the end of the event, Hillary Clinton returned to Trump's gut, criticizing him for saying he does not "believe" a recently released dire government report on climate change. "It just riles me up," she said. "If you won't listen to people who actually spend time over decades studying problems, my goodness, your gut is not the answer to everything that is important in the world, I'm sorry."
The tour comes at a time when speculation is strong on whether or not Hillary will actually make another attempt at a presidential run. She joked about standing for Parliament in Canada when asked about any plans to run but you know she’s thinking about. I don’t think she ever stops thinking about it. She’s consumed with anger that Donald Trump won. While the next generation of Democrats is ready to move up, the Clintons (especially Hillary) refuse to leave the stage. It’s no wonder ticket sales are slow. Why would anyone pay money to listen to them when almost any day an interview or quote is available in print or on television? It’s not like either of them are saying anything new.
Also, there’s the re-emergence of Monica Lewinsky. She’s been telling her story after all these years. Don’t expect either Clinton to be asked about that whole scandal, though. It’s not happening. The former horndog-in-chief still gets a pass on the difficult questions.
But the kickoff comes at a tenuous time for the Clintons: Not only is their standing in the Democratic Party in question after neither was particularly prolific during the midterms, but the event comes amid a renewed focus on Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky, a moment in history that has gained more attention recently because of a multi-part series on the affair on A&E and other retrospectives. The Lewinsky affair and other allegations against of sexual impropriety Bill Clinton are also being re-examined in the light of the #MeToo era.
One topic that Hillary is quick to criticize President Trump on is his relationship with Saudia Arabia. It’s ironic given the Clinton Foundation’s refusal to state that they will no longer accept financial donations from The Kingdom as others have.
“We have a president who is part of the cover-up as to what happened in that consulate or embassy when Mr. Khashoggi was murdered,” Clinton said. “And we have a president and those closest to him who have their own personal commercial interests.”
But the Clinton Foundation, to which donations declined dramatically after Clinton’s 2016 defeat, has taken multi-million dollar contributions from Saudi Arabia in the past and isn’t ruling out continuing to accept them.
The Clinton Foundation accepted between $10 and $25 million from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with donations coming as late as 2014. A now-defunct group named “Friends of Saudi Arabia,” which was reportedly co-founded by a Saudi Prince and often worked as a PR front for the kingdom, also donated between $1 and $5 million.
Implying corruption about the sitting president in business dealings is probably not the best idea. She and her husband have a legacy of corruption. She should just sit that conversation out.
More Trouble For The Clintons: FBI Raids The Home of DOJ Whistleblower Who Ratted on The Clinton Foundation
FBI agents spent six hours raiding the home of Department of Justice whistleblower Dennis Nathan Cain on Nov. 19th. According to Cain's lawyer, he was in possession of documents pertaining to the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One. He had handed them over to the DOJ’s inspector general and both the House and Senate Intelligence committees, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported.
From The Daily Caller:
The Justice Department’s inspector general was informed that the documents show that federal officials failed to investigate potential criminal activity regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and Rosatom, the Russian company that purchased Uranium One, a document reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation alleges.
The delivered documents also show that then-FBI Director Robert Mueller failed to investigate allegations of criminal misconduct pertaining to Rosatom and to other Russian government entities attached to Uranium One, the document reviewed by TheDCNF alleges. Mueller is now the special counsel investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.
Although Cain handed over the documents, the whistleblower’s lawyer, Michael Socarras, said the raid was excessive and went against whistleblower protections.
“The bureau raided my client to seize what he legally gave Congress about the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One,” Socarras told The DCNF.
A special agent from the FBI's Baltimore division believed Cain had stolen federal property and demanded to be let into the house. Cain let the agent know that he was protected under the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act and that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz recognized his whistleblower status. He also made the agent aware that he had submitted the classified information to the Senate and House Intelligence committees. At that point the special agent in charge of the sting direct 16 other agents to begin a sweep Cain's property.
Cain immediately handed over the documents to the FBI out of fear. Despite having the documents, the FBI continued their raid.
“After asking and getting my approval to do so, DOJ IG Michael Horowitz had a member of his staff physically take Mr. Cain’s classified document disclosure to the House and Senate Intelligence committees,” Socarras said. “For the bureau to show up at Mr. Cain’s home suggesting that those same documents are stolen federal property, and then proceed to seize copies of the same documents after being told at the house door that he is a legally protected whistleblower who gave them to Congress, is an outrageous disregard of the law."
Cain came across the classified information while working for a government contractor. Under whistleblower protections, the inspector general is to share that information with the attorney general. At that time, the attorney general was Jeff Sessions.
“The [whistleblower act] authorizes employees of contractors to take government property and give it to the two intelligence committees confidentially,” Socarras said.
Here's how the information was handed off:
Cain met with a senior member of Horowitz’s office at a church close to the White House to deliver the documents to the IG, according to Socarras.
Cain sat in a pew with a hoodie and sun glasses, Socarras said. Cain held a double-sealed envelope containing a flash drive with the documents. The IG official met him and, without saying a word, took the pouch over Cain’s shoulder and left.
