An aide says he once arranged for $50 million in payments for Bill Clinton

Band’s memo provided data showing how much money each of Teneo’s 20 clients at the time had given to the Clinton Foundation, how much they had paid Bill Clinton and, in some cases, how he or Kelly had personally forged the relationships that resulted in the payments.

Band wrote that Teneo partners had raised in excess of $8 million for the foundation and $3 million in paid speaking fees for Bill Clinton. He said he had secured contracts for the former president that would pay out $66 million over the subsequent nine years if the deals remained in place.

The pay-to-play Clinton Foundation

Mr. Band wrote the memo to lawyers at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP who were reviewing the Clinton Foundation’s activities and links to Mr. Band. The Clintons’ daughter, Chelsea, had sought the review because she worried that Mr. Band was “hustling business” for his consulting firm, Teneo Holdings, at the Clinton Global Initiative, according to a 2011 email by Ms. Clinton.

Chelsea Clinton wrote that the calls were occurring without her father’s knowledge and that the reactions she was hearing to them would “horrify” Bill Clinton. In another email, she wrote she feared Teneo was “hustling business at CGI.”

Chelsea Clinton’s concerns helped spark efforts at the foundation to adopt new policies governing outside consulting agreements designed to erect a more solid wall between Bill Clinton’s private and charitable activities. Emails show that Cheryl Mills, who at the time was serving as Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff at the State Department, was deeply involved in the foundation’s proceedings.

Bill Clinton also separated from Teneo, returning to the company all but $100,000 of the money he had been paid, tax returns show.

Emails show how the dispute between Chelsea Clinton and her father’s longtime aide led to personal hostility.

“I don’t deserve this from her and deserve a tad more respect or at least a direct dialogue for me to explain these things,” Band wrote to Podesta at the time. “She is acting like a spoiled brat kid who has nothing else to do but create issues to justify what she’s doing because she, as she has said, hasn’t found her way and has a lack of focus in her life.”

Mr. Band also noted how some of those donors he had cultivated were paying Mr. Clinton privately to make speeches or to do other work. One such donor, Laureate International Universities, a for-profit education company based in Baltimore, was paying Mr. Clinton $3.5 million annually “to provide advice” and serve as its honorary chairman, Mr. Band wrote.

Laureate International is the largest for profit university scheme in the world that preys on minorities and minority nations

This proves all the worst fears of the Clinton supporters.

Seriously, shaking down large corporations for money?!

Yeah but, did she say offensive things about women? Don't you feel it is time for a female president?

Did you read the articles?

Well what else can we really say at this point? The people who are already against her aren't surprised by this type of stuff, and the people who aren't against her just don't care at all.

I'm not kidding, we legitimately need her on video committing murder or something. Or at least trying to drown a baby.

Bro let me saying it as plain as I can...they were shaking down corporations for large amounts of money through the foundation to pay "Bill Inc" which went to Bill.

I know but..the sad reality is people have already decided what they care more about. Not about major issues, abuse of power, and all this stuff. What they care about the most is vulgarity.

Whats even worse is CNN looks like they are crying while trying to tell you this stuff, and its so bad, they have to get the hardest left pundits to come on and try to spin it to a positive.

What people on this board do not understand, is that the Clintons, the Democrats and the Media is all against them, but they defend them at all costs.

If you notice me, I never defend the republicans.

Adam will come on here and tell us how its all the republicans fault. Its an easy cop out. He cant address his party is majorly flawed. The entire Liberal Entertainment industry supports Hillary Clinton cause she is not Trump.

However the Hollywood Elites and Entertainment Elites com from the same world as Trump.

They don't know it, but they hate themselves when they look at Trump. They can't stand he was able to break out of that industry.

I'm 85% sure CNN anchors somehow feel literal pain if they say anything negative about Hilary on the air.

Whether this is achieved via technology or mysticism I can't say.

Their faces change immediately when they get off talking about the bad news about hillary, as soon as they start attacking Trump, all 7-6 people on TV are all smiling and having a good old time.

It's basically like a little kid whose grandparents have just given him some tube socks for Christmas and he's trying to act grateful, but because he is a child he can't quite master it fully.

Surtur is right, nobody gives a shit.

Go cry somewhere else TI.

Dummy, he was making fun of people like you, basically calling you morons. Go back to the SWF were you belong. When you can actual debate a topic, come back, sweetheart.
