The Clintons and the sordid UBS affair .....
 

"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton intervened with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on behalf of Switzerland's most powerful banking institution, UBS."

"Afterwards, UBS increased its previous $60,000 in donations to the Clinton Foundation ten-fold. By the end of 2014, UBS donations to the Clinton Foundation totaled $600,000. UBS also "paid former President Bill Clinton $1.5 million to participate in a series of question-and-answer sessions"

"Hillary Clinton stepped in to negotiate a deal that prevented the IRS from gaining access to more than 91 percent of the illicit, tax-evading offshore accounts"



Well worth reading!

This is surely where crockett and the crocketteers will surely jump in and start rambling about Republican hypocrisy and greed and being in the pocket of big companies.... oh wait,...

Bill has made so much money on the speaking and book circuit.

And people wonder why Trump has traction. :1orglaugh

I knew this thread would be ignored lol.

Hillary learned how to play this off with the email fiasco.

Keep saying it was all lies and nothing happened. The public, particularly her fans, will step in line and carry the message.

The truth will be rewritten shortly.

give us some crockett science!

Hello ....... ?

Interessting article indeed.

Are you saying the Republicans are all clean? Trump certainly has some issues.

The problem is some people's political allegence blinds them to the real problems.

So for balance.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I read it right to the bottom -- did you see this at the end?

Interesting read but everyone knows the Banksters are crooked as hell -- no surprise there. One thing I would note; that it unsaid and I would suppose, that at least half of those accounts of offshored assets where the assets of persons, or persons that are controlling corporations, that would identify themselves as Republicans.

Looks to me that Bernie is going after Hillary here by his proxy :2 cents:

I have read speculations that there are 25 Trillion dollars (or equivalent) never taxed and forever hidden from taxation -- the shadow assets of the world. Government goes after the millions of ''little tax cheats'' working under the table to either survive or get ahead a little -- and the big fish can pay bribes and evade the tax laws -- so what else is new?

The Richest (and Poorest) 2016 Presidential Candidates

I am sure Trump will do a lot better than the Clintons ever did ... think about it ....

half of this industry (the more wealthy half) has offshore companies and are probably pretty happy about this :2 cents:

Politicians should be considered crooked as a rule. If there's ever an honest one, that should make the news...

Some here think being Republican cleanses them of all wrong doing, some think Trump is a saviour and some are a little more sane.

And the other half would love to have enough money to pay the gas bill. :1orglaugh

the Clintons, and obama seem to be Teflon :2 cents:

Paul, the point of this post was to show the free ride Hillary has received so far this election. Look at everything the press has dug up and used against Trump yet they remain silent when it comes to Queen Hillary.

Its not the presidential salary that makes them rich, its all the hidden fringe benefits, during and after office.:2 cents:

@L-Pink

If Hillary took the same extremist positions that Trump does the (mainstream) press would be all over her like stink-on-shit too.

The press wants to sell papers and page views :2 cents:

Do I hear crickets?

Let's see - one candidate gets a free ride on everything that they actually DID (covering up crime, national security breaches, foreign policy cluster fuck, in bed with Wall Street and big business etc.), while the headlines day and night focus on something someone allegedly SAID and how "dangerous" does it make him.

Yes it may sound like a joke but it's in fact reality. That's the absurdity of today in its full glory and that's also what makes these day's press completely irrelevant and useless.

There is one good thing for the US that happened during this presidential race so far, that is, that the Donald and his press-bait antics helped to fully reveal how completely biased, how far away from any sort of journalism code, how pretentious, pathetic and worthless has the press become.

It's no longer about an actual investigative work, or serving information that is not selectively cherry-picked, it's about spinning, and manipulating what even can be investigated, what even can be published, what is supposed to get scandalized, what is supposed to be repeated over and over.

I guess this quote from Thomas Jefferson may as well be more relevant than ever:

"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers."

The Clintons might be the most corrupt couple in history
