It is tiring to continuously tout a Clarice Feldman column as “superb”, “outstanding”, “incredibly informative”, etc, etc.
But, when those superlatives are right on the money, what’re ya gonna do? It would be an abdication of our self-claimed obligation to Veritaspac readers if we did not urge in the strongest possible terms that they take 10 minutes out of their busy day to become an even better informed American.
Today’s “Clarice piece” reveals, except to the most informed of our readers, important points related to a couple of the hottest topics in the news currently, which almost universally the media has failed to mention (and certainly not highlight).
Hopefully these somewhat obscure, but vitally significant disclosures will inspire readers to go to and read the entire column:
America’s Biggest Losers: The Right’s Commentariat (excerpts)
The scandals continue to involve the Clinton Family Foundation as well the emails. As Don Surber observes, however, “Press scrutiny — applies to Republicans, not Democrats.
The [Clinton] foundation’s latest Form 990 shows that as of December 31, 2014, Hillary and Bill and Chelsea and their hedge fund son-in-law sat on $439,505,295 in assets. . . .
The foundation spent $248,221,698 in 2014:
$95,887,139 on salaries and benefits.
$20,786,529 on travel.
$17,249,876 on professional and consulting services.
$14,200,147 on conferences and events.
$14,196,240 on UNITAID commodities expense
$13,519,824 on meetings and training
Et cetera. Oh and $33,692,599 was spent on direct program expenditures. Sure, this is all legal, but as a charity, this is not on the up and up. The Clintons used this as a way to launder foreign donations (which would be illegal if they were campaign donations) to finance her campaign in absentia. (snip)
Compare this to the Trump Foundation, whose latest Form 990 covered the year 2012.
Income: $1,259,851 (all from Trump)
Disbursements: $1,712,089
Expenses: $5,305.
Assets: $1,717,293.
Short. Simple. No staff. No travel. No consulting services. No conferences. No meetings. No training. It’s just, here is the money, here are the charities I want to give to, and here is the audit (which cost $5,305).
Clarice comments:
Hillary, as we know, is a master of the art of projection — attributing her own misdeeds to her opponents. This week she used a suit against Trump University by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman as a talking point. But there’s a far bigger scandal he’s ignoring — CGI University, “a shady joint venture of Laureate and the Clinton Global Initiative”.
The details of this one are fascinating. Feldman reveals some that have so far failed to get much “coverage” from the media. What Feldman notes in just a few brief, but documented details, far outweighs those of the Trump “education” venture.
But my personal favorite in this piece is the exposure of a detail regarding the Obama-appointed judge in the Trump University case. I had seen a brief reference to the judge’s background in a conservative blog several days ago. I have not seen or heard any mention of it since…in either MSM accounts or conservative media. The significant fact that the judge Trump has accused of bias is not that he is of Mexican descent, or that he was born in Indiana. The serious matter related to bias is the judge’s published and verified affiliation with radical Latino groups, including one involved in organizing the violent anti-Trump rioting in San Jose last week. From Clarice’s column:
It’s looking to be a long hot summer, full of violence against Trump supporters, exposure of Clinton wrongdoing, and continued loathsome behavior by the president, academics, and the media. To its shame, at this crucial juncture many of the once-respected members of the right’s commentariat are failing their readers and proving to be America’s biggest losers.Space constraints prevent me from detailing all the wrongdoing of Hillary Clinton and her aides and allies, but here are just some turned up this week.
Breitbart reports that it is now clear that Hillary shared the names of covert U.S. intelligence figures on her unprotected server, which had been targeted by “Russia-linked hacker attempts,” jeopardizing their lives and operations. (Compare and contrast her behavior with that of Lewis Libby and the difference in the politicized responses of this administration with Bush’s. Or even with this administration’s response to clear lawbreaking as opposed to scurrilous, baseless claims in the prior administration.)
When Bush commuted the sentence of Libby, who had not leaked the name of a covert agent — and actually he should have pardoned him altogether but failed to — Hillary was quick on the draw: “This commutation sends the clear signal that in this administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice.”
Clip and save this should she be indicted and pardoned on far worse conduct — actually being the source of the leak of real covert agents.
(snip)
In any event, in the private suit against Trump University, Trump has a point. The judge is clearly biased and the suit is — pardon the expression — trumped up.
To quote Facebook poster Jennifer Verner about the judge (an activist in MALDEF who appointed to represent the plaintiffs law firms which contributed almost $700,000 to Clinton’s campaign directly and through speaking fees):
So it took me about 10 minutes on the INTERNET to find that the California La Raza Lawyers Association lists MALDEF (Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund) as an affiliate group, and that MALDEF is one of the organizations that have been actively protesting Donald Trump. Lazy Jerks at CNN need to get their facts straight. The La Raza judge needs to go, not because he’s Hispanic, but because his political activity leads to a conflict of interest.”
From the California La Raza Lawyers Association. Look up which groups have been organizing the protests at the Trump rallies. Notice MALDEF? Oops.
Clarice further comments:
Using the courts with the help of partisan prosecutors and judges to beset and discredit their opponents is a standard Democratic trick. It works so often because the folks more interested in keeping their white togas spotless will not ally themselves with a colleague or party official charged with wrongdoing no matter how preposterous and biased the charges. (See the cases against Lewis Libby, Senator Ted Stevens, Congressman Tom DeLay, and Governor Rick Perry.)
