The Clinton Bribery Mechanism

The Clintons have lifted political bribery to a fine art, using "speaking fees" and "foundation donations." Both Bill and HIllary make short, often incomprehensible "speeches" before organizations they are, or hope to be in the future, in charge of regulating, at fees reaching half a million dollars for a short speech. No speech is worth that. Often they "donate" their speech fees to the Clinton Foundation, which they control, absolutely, and which does little charity work. Other times people who wish to curry favor with one or the other simply "donate" millions of dollars to their foundation, which they spend freely. For instance: most of their airline fares not paid directly by foreign governments or private businesses they regulate are paid by their foundation. That frees up a lot of money for them to spend on other things. Since there are no laws against politicians getting fees for making speeches, they can claim that's what they are. But such exorbitant "speech fees" are obviously bribes, as are "donations" of millions of dollars from people who want to curry favor with them are just as obviously bribes. It's how they became multi millionaires after leaving the White House broke, according to them. (Just common sense)
