ML-Implode News - Clintons Drew Government Money, As If in Poverty, To Subsidize Private Foundation And Reckless Email Arrangement

... even as the Clintons got rich and grew their foundation into a $2 billion organization credited with major victories in the fights against childhood obesity and AIDS -- while paying six figure salaries to top aides -- Bill Clinton continued drawing more cash from the Former President's Act than any other ex-president, according to a POLITICO analysis. The analysis also found that Clintons' representatives, between 2001, when the Clintons left the White House, and the end of this year, had requested allocations under the Act totaling $16 million. That's more than any of the other living former presidents -- Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush -- requested during that span.
The program supplemented the income of Clinton's staff, while providing them with coveted federal government benefits, alleviating the need for the Clinton Foundation or other Clinton-linked entities to foot the bill for such benefits. Similarly, Clinton aides got the GSA to pay for computer technology used partly by the foundation.
