Ever wonder how the Clintons got so rich? The Arkansas Grifters who claimed they were “dead broke” after leaving the White House?
WikiLeaks reveals all.
In a 2011 memo, Doug Band, top aide to Bill Clinton, outlined how he and his consulting firm Teneo were key players in the enrichment of the Clinton Crime family.
Band raised money for the Clinton Foundation from Teneo’s own clients, including top tier names such as Dow Chemical and Coca-Cola, and then pressed the companies to also provide financial perks to Bill Clinton. These perks also included, as Band described, “in-kind services for the President and his family — for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the like” for what Band called “Bill Clinton Inc.”

Oddly, wjc [William Jefferson Clinton] does not have to sign such a document even though he is personally paid by 3 cgi sponsors, gets many expensive gifts from them, some that are at home.”
Here the Clinton modus operandi on display once again: the rules apply to everyone else but them.
John Podesta is now in the crosshairs as well. Podesta’s sister-in-law, Heather Podesta, was hired by defense contractor Raytheon as a lobbyist in 2012. Raytheon was looking to expand its foreign military sales, which must be reviewed and approved by the State Department. Guess who was Secretary of State in 2012? Hillary Clinton, in her final year in that position.
Huma Abedin has been Hillary Clinton’s top aide and assistant for years. But now, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is now digging…
