FISHY WAY OF SHEIKING THE MONEY TREE
By Dick Morris And Eileen McGann 04.6.2008 Published in the New York
Post on April 5, 2008.
QUESTION: Is it appropriate for the spouse of a US senator and a
presidential candidate to be in business with the leader of a foreign
country?
A foreign country that has lots of matters before the US government?
ANSWER: No.
Hillary and Bill Clinton=92s tax returns from 2000-2006 reveal that he
made at least $8 million from foreign sources and another $15 million
from Yucaipa, which is owned by supermarket magnate and =93Friend of
Bill=94 Ron Burkle.
It=92s been re****ted that Yucaipa manages the financial ****tfolio of
Dubai=92s ruler - Emir Mohammad bin Rashed al-Maktoum.
So how much of Bill=92s earnings came from Burkle really come from the
Emir=92s petrodollars?
And what does Bill bring to Yucaipa? A rolodex of contacts made while
he was president, and nothing else.
By the way, this is the same Emir who aggressively boycotts Israel and
has been cited for human rights violations by the State Department.
How much did Bill get from the Emir and what did he do for it? The tax
returns don=92t say and the Clintons aren=92t talking.
The returns released yesterday also reveal another outfit paid
substantial sums to Bill - InfoUSA, a mailing-list company that was
under investigation for providing lists of vulnerable senior citizens
to telemarketers.
InfoUSA sold these con men lists like =93Elderly with Alzheimer=92s=94 and
=93Gullible seniors=94 so they could be fleeced out of their life savings.
A lawsuit filed by InfoUSA shareholders, founder and =93Friend of Bill=94
Vin Gupta used cor****ate jets to whisk the Clintons around the globe
for events, including political events, since 2001 - spending nearly
$900,000 to do it.
The suit suggests Gupta used company funds to party with high-profile
pals such as the Clintons.
Again, it=92s not clear what Bill did for this company.
Hillary has called for more transparency in foreign government-funded
sovereign wealth funds and for full disclosure of their activities.
Let that start at home.
