For Clintons, speech income shows how their wealth is intertwined with charity

What sets the Clintons apart is the vast reach of their donor network and the extent to which they have tapped it for the broad range of their personal, political and charitable work.

The Post’s analysis, based on foundation disclosures, State Department documents, financial filings and other records, shows that the lines between Clinton’s paid speeches and his work for the foundation often blurred as he traveled the world promoting the charity and reaping millions in payments.

Technology companies Microsoft and Cisco Systems, for instance, donated at least $1 million each to the foundation. The two companies paid Bill Clinton a total of $1.02 million in speaking fees for a series of lectures.

In September 2012, the Italian fitness equipment company Technogym paid Bill Clinton $500,000 for a speech in the northern Italian city of Cesena at a conference devoted to “creating a better and more sustainable world through people’s health,” according to financial disclosures and documents Bill Clinton’s office submitted to the State Department.

Technogym, which has also given between $25,000 and $50,000 to the foundation, reported in a news release that the speech came about in part because of the foundation’s work fighting childhood obesity.

FK – I think of this every time some idiot says “Impeach the Marxist mutt!” Klinton was impeached by the House but not convicted by the Senate. The Marxist mutt will be doing the same thing if they don’t try to make it the king of the U.N. or some such.

As long as the traitorous republicrats run the congress nothing good of consequence will happen.

This is happening because those who know better aren’t standing up and preparing to do what will be required. Trash like this should’ve been executed for treason long ago.
