The real scandal Bill U: Laureates $17.6 million dollar Clinton payoff/caption
Greed... is good." Michael Douglas as corporate raider Gordon Gekko in Wall Street" (1987)
A lot of these private-education guys theyre looking to get into events a State Department dinner like this one. The discussion itself is irrelevant. . . . It gets you very high-level contacts and it gets you to the right people." Sam Pitroda a higher education expert representing a policy commission from India
Laureate International Universities paid Bill Clinton an obscene $17.6 million as their front man consultant and honorary chancellor." Despite a largely undefined (and perhaps non-existent?) role Mr. Clintons lucrative five year contract ended conveniently two weeks before the wife launched her latest campaign for U.S. president. Back in 2009 Hillary Clinton wrote ... Bill likes founder businessman Doug Becker a lot." Well turns out Mr. Clinton has 17.6 million reasons for that.
Per their tax returns Laureate runs 80 educational institutions the world over. Notably four of its six U.S. colleges are on a U.S. Education Department watch list for fiscal monkey business. Specifically debt-ridden students complained Laureates flagship U.S. school Walden University is essentially a slow-roll online diploma mill delivering substandard programs and degrees. Naturally this murkiness was of no concern to Bill Clinton. (One assumes all payments to him have cleared.) Yet how does this latest example of Clintonian sleaziness not fall under the umbrella of payment for high-level access? In other words the pay-to-play basis of the $2 billion dollar sham that is the charitable" Clinton Family Foundation?
Even the sycophantic Washington Post acknowledged that the Clintons mixed" their public and private dealings. They reported:
Doug Becker for example donated to Hillary Clintons 2008 presidential campaign and last year donated $2700 to her current effort. Laureate has given between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation according to the charitys website … Laureate portrayed its association with the Clintons as a symbol of its legitimacy rather than the result of a business deal."
Only to the crooked does the word legitimacy and the surname Clinton harmoniously coexist. Likewise facelessand blindethics officials in wifeys then State Department saw no conflict of interest. (Barack Obama laughably granted oversight to Mrs. Clinton on such matters.) Clinton Cash" author Peter Schweizer noted an increase in USAID funding of $55 million to the International Youth Federationa sister organization run by selfsame Laureate founder Doug Beckerwhile Mrs. Clinton was Secretary of State. Why does not a single Democrat in government publicly acknowledge a problem with any of this?
At least some House Republicans see clear wrongdoing. Last July sixty-four requested investigations by the Internal Revenue Service FBI and Federal Trade Commission into possible" corruption between Laureate and the Clintons. However given closed-eyed dupes like FBI Director James Comeyand the current administration still at the helmtheres no chance another investigation will happen.
Interestingly The Post further reported that Laureate was bought out in 2007 by George Soros (and partners) for $3.8 billion. What these journalists" left out about trouble-making billionaire Soros is his domestic funding of the anarchist Black Lives Matter death cult. What a corrupt click these incestuous and moneyed progressives. With paid-off politicians is it any wonder why America is in chaoswith a mountainous 19.5T debt? Thats not a problem for the uber-rich Clintons: currently worth $238 million. Moreover besides wrongdoing in common Barack Obama aims to be the first ex-president billionaire. Mr. Clinton may beat him to that pot o gold.
Roger Stone of Daily Caller" in his expos called Trump U Is Nothing Compared To Laureate Education" put the matter plainly:
New York State law requires specific approvals for an entity to hold itself out as being a university. In this case CGI Clinton Global Initiate(a fraud) created CGI University (a fraud) in league with Laureate a fraud. Laureate is a highly leveraged failing investment whose principal beneficiaries are Wall Street fat cats and billionaires and at the center is William Jefferson Clinton."
