Inside ‘Bill Clinton Inc.’: Hacked memo reveals intersection of charity and personal income

When top Bill Clinton aide Douglas Band wrote the memo, he was a central player at the Clinton Foundation and president of his own corporate consulting firm. Over the course of 13 pages, he made a case that his multiple roles had served the interests of the Clinton family and its charity.

In doing so, Band also detailed a circle of enrichment in which he raised money for the Clinton Foundation from top-tier corporations such as Dow Chemical and Coca-Cola that were clients of his firm, Teneo, while pressing many of those same donors to provide personal income to the former president.

The system has drawn scrutiny from Republicans, who say it allowed corporations and other wealthy supporters to pay for entree to a popular former president and a onetime secretary of state who is now the Democratic presidential nominee.

Band wrote the memo in 2011 to foundation lawyers conducting a review of the organization amid a brewing feud with the Clintons’ daughter, Chelsea Clinton, who was taking a stronger role in leading the foundation and had expressed concerns about Teneo’s operations.

From Clinton supporters, a mixed reaction to the WikiLeaks emails Play Video2:57

[Read the 2011 memo about Teneo and the Clinton Foundation]

The memo, made public Wednesday by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, lays out the aggressive strategy behind lining up the consulting contracts and paid speaking engagements for Bill Clinton that added tens of millions of dollars to the family’s fortune, including during the years that Hillary Clinton led the State Department. It describes how Band helped run what he called “Bill Clinton Inc.,” obtaining “in-kind services for the President and his family — for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the like.”

Band and his Teneo co-founder, former Hillary Clinton fundraiser Declan Kelly, declined to comment. But Teneo issued a statement saying that “as the memo demonstrates, Teneo worked to encourage clients, where appropriate, to support the Clinton Foundation because of the good work that it does around the world. It also clearly shows that Teneo never received any financial benefit or benefit of any kind from doing so.”


Spokesmen for Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton and the foundation declined to comment.

Hillary Clinton campaign spokesman Glen Caplin declined to comment on the memo, calling the material “hacked by the Russian government and weaponized by WikiLeaks.” Caplin declined to authenticate the memo, but he also did not dispute it.

Band, who grew close to Bill Clinton two decades ago as his personal aide in the White House and became the architect of his post-presidential activities, argued in the memo that he and his firm had benefited the former president and his foundation.

“We have dedicated ourselves to helping the President secure and engage in for-profit activities,” Band wrote. He also said he had “sought to leverage my activities, including my partner role at Teneo, to support and to raise funds for the foundation.”

So, just got back from the gym. Feeling great.

Log on, just to see a bunch of whining from the usual suspects.

HEY SWISH

HEY SWISH

ANSWER ME THIS SWISH

RIDDLE ME THIS SWISH.

Lmao

VOTE SWISH 2024 - putting the pacifier back in these poster mouths since 2006!!

How are Nebraska and Kansas doing? You are going to have to elaborate on that a little bit. I would say that the two states combined have an area of roughly 160,000 square miles and a combined population of less than 5 million. Naturally it is going to be a little 'barren'.

I'm not saying that all Republican areas are in perfect working order or that all Democratic areas are complete messes, I don't think that, but there is a trend in that direction.

Here's a question, why is the city of Cleveland the way it is (use whatever parameters you want... I mentioned some of them as far as political corruption, quality of life, level of crime, performance vs cost of schools, you could even add a completely subjective measure of how people are treated and yes I think there is a difference, etc), and why are the surrounding communities (again, say 10 miles or more outside the city) the way that they are?

Well one difference is Cleveland is a Democratic area and the areas that are run well are Republican areas. That's reality. Whether you say the Democratic politicians are incompetent or people who vote for Democrats are incompetent doesn't really change things a whole lot (I prefer the former explanation by the way.)

Needless to say, Trump's share of the women's vote, especially the college-educated women's vote, is plummeting. (It almost seems as though the Trump campaign is trying to drive those numbers down to zero.)

The GOP has had a problem with single women voters for years; now married women will likely walk on the party as well. Beyond the election, Republican women will need to decide whether they really want to be Republicans. It's increasingly hard to imagine independent, professional women — really, any women — remaining in a party that is so rife with abuse and disrespect, so reminiscent of old-boy networks 30 years out of date. It's not even clear what the party could do to purge itself of the misogyny.

What place is there for women in a party of all white, angry, abusive men, with no one willing to put an end to Trump's antics? Increasingly, the answer will be: none. Women can leave the shell of the Republican National Committee to the bully boys as their own locker room — and can help lead the center-right party that replaces it.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opini...ry.html?ref=yfp

Just a piece of this article was interesting.

I really wish the center-right would create a new party and abandon the GOP. It's been taken over by, yes, deplorables.

What a garbage article, or rather, 'opinion' piece.

Yes I'm sure that you would love to see the GOP split. Democrats could then basically run unopposed, turning our 2-3 party system into a 1 party system.

You really have no room to talking about garbage anything, seeing as you post crap from a no nothing comic strip artist.

If it's garbage, enlightening he board as to how trump is gonna win the women vote.

You can't, because You already know he won't.

As far as the split, this is where you once again prove you don't pay attention to what I post.

I've said over and over again that conservativism isn't a bad thing.

The general idea of it is fine. The politicians who represent it are the problem.

The GOP has been taken over by sexist, racist, alt right/extreme right wing conservatives with superiority complexes over people who don't look like them.

Guys like Paul Ryan are becoming scapegoats for something that isn't even their fault. Center-right conservatives might as well not have a party anymore.

So you can call it garbage all you want, the fact is that if anything you said was true, trump would win this election.

But he won't. So I dunno what to tell you, except your claims certainly aren't adding up to what is actually happening in the real world.

All well. Clinton/Kaine 2016.

This op-ed pretty much says it all, written by s conservative author.

Why Paul Ryan is sacrificing his honor to save America's future

http://theweek.com/articles/657877/why-paul-ryan-sacrificing-honor-save-americas-future?ref=yfp

You have to feel for Paul Ryan.

Every year, like aspiring celebrities moving to Hollywood, countless idealistic young women and men move to their nation's capital with the dream of making the country a better place. Paul Ryan was once such a person. And, against all odds, he seemed to come pretty close to being one of the most consequential statesmen in recent American history. Starting out as an intern, he rose through the ranks slowly but surely. As a budget wonk congressman, he earned prominence for his reasoned opposition to ObamaCare and his policy entrepreneurship, which gave him the reputation of a fair and brave man of ideas. As a vice presidential candidate on the Republican ticket in 2012, he became a national figure. Respected by everyone, he walked backwards into the speakership of the House.

Ryan is an intellectual disciple of Jack Kemp. He wants to accomplish the conservative dream of changing the welfare state — not to abolish it, but to reshape it as a more slimmed-down version that encourages work and initiative. Put together, Ryan's plans for reforming entitlements, the budget, and various government programs would amount to the most significant change to America's political economy since the Great Society. This is a goal that, as a conservative, I wholeheartedly support. But even if you don't share those politics, you have to admit that this is, by and large, an honorable and impressive path through politics.

And with the speaker's gavel, he can possibly get it done. The Obama administration has shown the way: The American tradition has changed. The way to pass important legislation is not to build a bipartisan compromise, but to earn one-party control of both houses of Congress and the White House, pass what you want on a party-line vote, give the other party the finger, and then hold on for dear life long enough for your law to become fait accompli.

Through the Obama era, the GOP won control of Congress, and perhaps the House for a generation, with unprecedented GOP control of states, which enabled them to redraw Congressional districts. All that was left was the White House. And with the coronation of one of the most unpopular politicians in America as the Democratic nominee, 2016 looked like the year the GOP could take the White House back. Whoever the Republicans nominated would beat Hillary Clinton, and Ryan would lead conservatives to victory in their decades-long quest to truly limit the size of government.

But we all know what happened to that dream. An orange wrecking ball named Donald J. Trump swooped down on Washington, smashing everything in his path.

Ryan despises Trump and everything he stands for. Ryan despises Trump's protectionist, authoritarian, statist, ethno-nationalist politics. And Ryan surely despises, at a personal level, Trump's stupidity, opportunism, and misogyny.

During the primary, Ryan attacked Trump, albeit mildly. When Trump became the presumptive nominee, Ryan initially declined to endorse him. Many anti-Trump conservatives, myself included, expected Ryan to become their leader.

Instead, something strange happened: After clearly implying that, at the very least, he would not endorse Trump without meaningful concessions, Ryan did an about-face and endorsed Trump with absolutely nothing in return. Ryan has grown increasingly critical of the Republican nominee, but has still declined to rescind his endorsement of him, even as many senior Republican officeholders have.

What is Paul Ryan thinking?

In short, he's doing damage control. He's trying to save the GOP House majority.

MORE PERSPECTIVES

PAUL WALDMAN
Big data can't save Donald Trump

JEFF SPROSS
ObamaCare needs a massive increase in subsidies. Now.
In the case of a Clinton presidency — which is looking increasingly likely — it's important to have a GOP House majority to frustrate her agenda. It's also essential for keeping the conservative dream alive. While Trump will almost certainly lose, the goal is to prevent a down-ballot disaster that would erase the gains the GOP has made in past election cycles.

This is why Ryan has told his members to "do what you need to do" with regard to endorsing or not endorsing Trump. Each member can do what's best, given the political dynamics in their own district, hopefully saving as many seats as possible. Try to keep Trump's brand and the GOP's brand as disassociated as possible — criticize Trump whenever he does something truly insane — but don't risk splitting the party by un-endorsing him.


In other words: In a very difficult, destructive time, save what can be saved. And if compromises with honor have to be made, so be it.

Let me be clear: I don't like this situation. It's a stain on Paul Ryan's reputation, and on the GOP's reputation, that he has abandoned his own principles. But I'm not a politician, and it costs me nothing to denounce Trump full-throatedly. Honor without cost is easy. What Paul Ryan is doing is hard.

Okay, let's discuss Columbus, OH. The city is run by a democratic mayor and is doing extremely well. The suburbs around it are garbage and run by republican mayors. My hometown in Grove City is the perfect example. It's run by a republican mayor and businesses have been dead here for decades now. Do you want me to mention the democratic mayors in these suburbs who are doing well?

As crazy as this sounds, a big reason why larger inner cities are doing better than the suburbs is because of demographic changes. Millennials don't want to be stuck in boring "mom and pop" areas. So they're bringing their money to places where there are things to do. That's not a democratic or republican thing.

I've already acknowledged that Clinton will win the female vote. If I had to guess, I'd say that Trump wins slightly among married women and Clinton wins enormously with unmarried women. That's just a hunch though.

It's the rest of the piece that's garbage and by garbage I mean something like made up nonsense.

As far as predictions: I have consistently said that I thought Clinton would win this election. There were a few stretches where things evened out a bit and I said it might be 50/50, but those did not last long.

As far as the comic strip artist: Yes I realize I've posted probably 10 or so of his blog posts as I find them insightful. I think he's a very intelligent guy who comes up with some unique angles to look at things from. Trust me, I'd rather not post so much of his stuff. Unfortunately, mainstream media is becoming more and more of a joke that I have no choice but to seek out less conventional sources. I will likely post more of his content before this election is over. Feel free to skip over it.

Can't believe some of you all's thinking about a city's success is dependent on which party runs the city.

Individualism... its powerful. Not everyone has the same agenda regardless of what ties you have to whatever groups..

Gary Johnson loses it at 5:00 - 5:05

LOL

lol.. i could see him spazzing out behind closed doors on a few people.

Interview with Trump supporters

Photo of Clinton Supporters - Needless to say, they don't talk much.

....."The Trump supporters were happy to tell the correspondent that they have acquired their way of thinking from pure suggestion and social media based solely on opinions. They admittedly live in a fantasy world and are impermeable to factual interventions, so don't bother trying."

Question for Republicans so adamant about having outsiders in politics: Who are you voting for senator in your state? A politician or an outsider?

I'm not a trump supporter, just a hillary hater.

Yet another day and more Breaking News on crooked Hillary...

FBI probing new Clinton emails

The FBI is probing new emails related to Hillary Clinton, FBI Director James Comey said in a Friday letter.

"In previous congressional testimony, I referred to the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had completed its investigation of former Secretary Clinton's personal email server. Due to recent developments, I am writing to supplement my previous testimony," Comey wrote.

"In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation," he added.

"Although the FBI cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be signifcant, and I cannot predict how long it will take us to complete this additional work, I believe it is important to update your Committees about our efforts in light of my previous testimony," Comey concluded.

The letter was addressed to several lawmakers who chaired committees relevant to the FBI investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server.

DEVELOPING: FBI reopens Clinton email investigation

By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Updated: 1:17 p.m. on Friday, October 28, 2016

Congress’s top investigator said Friday that the FBI has reopened the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s secret emails.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said on Twitter: “FBI Dir just informed me, ‘The FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.’ Case reopened.”

FBI Director James Comey had closed the case this summer, saying that while he found evidence Mrs. Clinton mishandled classified information, she was too technologically inept to know the risks she was running with national security information, so she shouldn’t be charged.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/28/james-comey-fbi-director-reopens-clinton-email-inv/

People voting for Hillary are really voting for Tim Kaine as she will spend her first year under investigation followed by impeachment.

So sad for America.

What James Comey says and what he does.

True that.

Personally I think It's freaking ridiculous how people can still vote for her at this point. They seem to just turn their head the other away and pretend like this type of stuff doesn't exist. I love it, its laughable.

They will end up with the Nation they deserve.

Yup... and not the dictatorship Trump would bring us all.





insert crying baby Pic here________________

Dictatorship, bhawwwahahahahaha!

WOW, Comey just dropped a political bombshell on HRC.

Very interested in seeing the response.

If HRC elected, Comey will be blamed, if she loses Comey will be blamed! lol

Key phrase in Comey's letter/statement:


My opinion, but this is just in time for Comey to save face, AND just in time to be too late for the fbi, doj, etc, to do anything about the election.

Once again, perfect timing by hillary's crew.

Report: Attorney General Loretta Lynch 'Pleads the Fifth' Over Iran Payment
12:00PM EDT 10/28/2016 BOB ESCHLIMAN


U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch has refused to answer questions from members of Congress who want answers about her involvement in the $1.7 billion cash payment to Iran. (Reuters photo)
According to a new report from The Washington Free Beacon, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is refusing to answer any questions about her role in the Obama administration's $1.7 billion cash payment to Iran that coincided with the release of several Americans in Iranian custody.

Effectively, she's "pleading the fifth" to avoid incriminating herself over these payments, according to lawmakers and communications made public in the Free Beacon report. At issue is a series of questions asked by U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) over how the payment to Iran was approved and delivered.

The Free Beacon's Adam Kredo reports:

In an Oct. 24 response, Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik responded on Lynch's behalf, refusing to answer the questions and informing the lawmakers that they are barred from publicly disclosing any details about the cash payment, which was bound up in a ransom deal aimed at freeing several American hostages from Iran.

The response from the attorney general's office is "unacceptable" and provides evidence that Lynch has chosen to "essentially plead the fifth and refuse to respond to inquiries regarding [her] role in providing cash to the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism," Rubio and Pompeo wrote on Friday in a follow-up letter to Lynch, according to a copy obtained by the Free Beacon.

The inquiry launched by the lawmakers is just one of several concurrent ongoing congressional probes aimed at unearthing a full accounting of the administration's secret negotiations with Iran.

"It is frankly unacceptable that your department refuses to answer straightforward questions from the people's elected representatives in Congress about an important national security issue," the lawmakers wrote. "Your staff failed to address any of our questions, and instead provided a copy of public testimony and a lecture about the sensitivity of information associated with this issue."

"As the United States' chief law enforcement officer, it is outrageous that you would essentially plead the fifth and refuse to respond to inquiries," they stated. "The actions of your department come at time when Iran continues to hold Americans hostage and unjustly sentence them to prison."

Shhhhhhh ... listen ... yup .. there it is ..

That was the sound of the CORKS GOING BACK IN THE CHAMPAGNE at the CLORRUPTION campaign HQ's ...

Maybe its not quite yet time to START THE PARTY!!!!

I want to point out to the board that inside Diam increasingly useless ramblings, he's implying that i'm voting for Hillary because of her hot sauce comment on a hip hop radio station.

implying that i'm only voting for her because of perceived pandering to the black community.

But if i go off on Diam, i get suspended and i'm the bad guy.

Diam, i respectfully ask that you stop directing your racist crap toward me. straight up, leave me alone.

I guess I need to get out more as I didn't realize blacks like hot sauce any more than any other race.

then you wasn't paying attention to the situation when it played out.
