Politico: Bill Clinton Paid $17.5 Million by For-profit University

Michael Stratford at Politicowrites about Bill Clinton’s large compensation from the for-profit higher education company Laureate Education.

Bill Clinton was paid more than $1 million in 2015 by Laureate Education, a global operator of for-profit colleges, according to tax returns released today by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

The new figure brings the former president’s total compensation from Laureate to more than $17.5 million for his five-year role as an “honorary chancellor.” His role consisted of advising the company on educational matters and traveling to campuses across the world to speak to young people. Clinton ended his position at Laureate in April 2015 after Hillary Clinton launched her bid for the White House.

"His role consisted of advising the company on educational matters ..."
What does Bill Clinton know about "educational matters" that was worth $15 million? Is this fishy, or what?

I'm sure that they got their money's worth.

How many dollars were slipped to the Clintons for favors when Bill was overseeing Haiti's post-earthquake relief efforts?

Laureate Education is just another way for them to Launder illegal donations from highly questionable sources.

10:49 That's another can of worms that was shut quickly when it first surfaced when Hillary ran for Senate in NY.

Pay to play. Play to win.

EVERYONE sees that this was a more intricate form of payoffs for connections and lucrative contracts.
They can't SAY they see it --- admitting they were cheering a criminal who sold her influence for millions --- so they stick with "there's no proof" (because all the witnesses have been killed) line, or just openly and brazenly LIE.
You can't stop cheering.
You should be abjectly ashamed.
