Inside ‘Bill Clinton Inc.’: Hacked memo reveals intersection of charity and personal income

When top Bill Clinton aide Douglas Band wrote the memo, he was a central player at the Clinton Foundation and president of his own corporate consulting firm. Over the course of 13 pages, he made a case that his multiple roles had served the interests of the Clinton family and its charity.

In doing so, Band also detailed a circle of enrichment in which he raised money for the Clinton Foundation from top-tier corporations such as Dow Chemical and Coca-Cola that were clients of his firm, Teneo, while pressing many of those same donors to provide personal income to the former president.

The system has drawn scrutiny from Republicans, who say it allowed corporations and other wealthy supporters to pay for entree to a popular former president and a onetime secretary of state who is now the Democratic presidential nominee.

Band wrote the memo in 2011 to foundation lawyers conducting a review of the organization amid a brewing feud with the Clintons’ daughter, Chelsea Clinton, who was taking a stronger role in leading the foundation and had expressed concerns about Teneo’s operations.

So who is going to file a complaint with the IRS to revoke their tax exempt status?

Not holding my breath for the NY AG Schneidermann to shut down the Clinton Foundation, as he did with Trump Foundation.

To those of us who've known the Clintons are crooks, this is nothing new.  The link is probably the most important part of the post: The WaPo, actually looking into Bill's (and therefore Hillary's) shady deals.

An honest media would have crucified those two long ago.

You don't need to just passively sit around and wait for the AG of NY to do something.

Considering I live in Texas, what course of action do you recommend for me?

@Oceander

I'd recommend an organization like Judicial Watch file such a complaint.  Any individual who were so bold is sure to face the wrath of IRS auditors and probably the DOJ.
