With the debates behind her, Hillary Clinton is back to dancing with TV hosts and confirming the influence of West Coast rap on her wardrobe.
WikiLeaks, however, keeps on leaking, and a hacked memo posted Wednesday seems to show what inspired Bill Clinton aide Doug Band to describe Chelsea Clinton as “a spoiled brat kid who has nothing else to do but create issues to justify what she’s doing.”

What Chelsea was doing was retaining a law firm to review just what was going on at the Clinton Foundation, and that’s something Band certainly didn’t need, according to the newly released memo.

And here’s the Daily Caller’s take, which includes a little word the other headlines don’t: “illegally.”
WIKILEAKS: Clinton Aide’s Law Firm Illegally Raised $150 Million for Clinton Charity https://t.co/eVix5hgOVO #WikiLeaks #PodestaEmails19 pic.twitter.com/LJhF5QjCFl

In a memo for the law firm of Simpson Thacher, which was conducting the governance review of the nonprofit Clinton Foundation, Band explained how he leveraged his activities within his for-profit consulting firm Teneo to raise funds for the foundation and steer lucrative activities to the Clintons:
… we have in effect served as agents, lawyers, managers and implementers to secure speaking, business and advisory service deals. In support of the President’s for-profit activity, we also have solicited and obtained, as appropriate, in-kind services for the President and his family — for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the like.
Did somebody say lucrative?

Doug Band helpfully lays out how "Clinton Inc." works, and how everyone profits, in this @PostRoz @thamburger story https://t.co/V8wMyjvyXG

One example of how Clinton, Inc. works can be found in Band’s citation of the for-profit Laureate International University, which donated more than $1.4 million to the Clinton Foundation while paying Bill Clinton $3.5 million a year to serve as “honorary chancellor.”

the Gambino's could only dream to have the DOJ and FBI under their control. The Clinton's had them doing as they said.

Where are the investigations, the probes into illegal practices; other Americans have been arrested for less.

Other Americans have been arrested for less, yes; the Clintons … not so much.
