“Greed... is good.”
– Michael Douglas as corporate raider Gordon Gekko in “Wall
Street” (1987)
“A lot of these
private-education guys, they’re 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. Clinton's
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
Laureate's 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 Clinton’s 2008 presidential
campaign and last year donated $2,700 to her current effort. Laureate
has given between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton
Foundation, according to the charity’s 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, faceless—and blind—ethics officials in wifey's 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 Federation—a sister
organization run by selfsame Laureate founder Doug Becker—while
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
Comey—and the current administration still at the helm—there's
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
chaos—with a mountainous 19.5T debt? That's 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 exposé 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.”
