‘There’s nothing to see here, folks. Move along…’
Here’s yet another example of how average Americans are expected to play by one set of rules while the privileged elite—an especially the Clintons—play by another:
A Politico investigation has revealed that American tax dollars were used to help pay for Clinton Foundation staff, as well as Hillary Clinton’s arguably-illegal email server.
Bill Clinton’s staff used a decades-old federal government program, originally created to keep former presidents out of the poorhouse, to subsidize his family’s foundation and an associated business, and to support his wife’s private email server, a POLITICO investigation has found.
Taxpayer cash was used to buy IT equipment — including servers — housed at the Clinton Foundation, and also to supplement the pay and benefits of several aides now at the center of the email and cash-for-access scandals dogging Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
…
The program supplemented the income of Clinton’s staff, while providing them with coveted federal government benefits, alleviating the need for the Clinton Foundation or other Clinton-linked entities to foot the bill for such benefits. Similarly, Clinton aides got the GSA to pay for computer technology used partly by the foundation.
An analysis of the records provided by GSA, combined with Clinton Foundation tax returns, found that at least 13 of the 22 staffers who have been paid by GSA to work for Clinton’s personal office also worked for the Clinton Foundation. [Emphasis added.]
Of course, like everything else the Clintons do, it will all be swept under the rug.
You’re not really surprised by this, are you?
