Clinton with the Emir of Dubai, arguably his most important employer?
We’re just starting to get some information, and let’s just say there are more questions than answers.
Most had thought the Clinton’s made $50 million since Billy Jeff left office. Not so. The Clintons’ joint return more like $109.2 million in the last 7 years.
More soon…
OK, the return for 2007 isn’t a return at all–it’s a “summary.” And they’ve actually asked for an extension of time to file for 2007. How strange when you have a team of people doing your taxes for you. It’s not as though Hill and Bill sit around the kitchen table trying to figure out their taxes after working a 10 hour day and helping the kids with homework. They have released a summary of returns for years past, however, with the Clintons’ joint returns reveal their making more than $109 million in the past seven years. And to think Hillary complains about the oil companies their their profits!
Most are noting the most interesting thing, the source(s) of $18 million in income left unaccounted for.
One thing we do know, and I’ve noted many times on Tammy radio, is the cozy financial relationship between Bill Clinton and the Dubai and United Arab Emirates. Back in 2006, Newsmax reported on part of that relationship.
Dubai’s ‘Boycott Israel’ Sheik Funded Bill Clinton
Former President Bill Clinton has accepted at least $1.6 million from the United Arab Emirates, including $300,000 from a Dubai sheik who adamantly backs the country’s controversial boycott of Israel.
On Jan. 17, 2002, Mr. Clinton was paid $300,000 to address the Science, Technology and Arts Royal Summit in Dubai at the invitation of Crown Prince and U.A.E. Defense Minister Sheik Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum…Mr. Clinton accepted another $300,000 from the Dubai regime for a speech in 2005. And his presidential library in Little Rock has collected seven-figure sums from several Arab governments participating in the anti-Israel boycott, including Dubai.
In September 2005, the New York Sun reported:
“When the library opened last year, a computer display in the exhibit halls included information on some, but not all, donors. The Saudi Royal Family and the governments of Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar all gave $1 million or more.”
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. The relevant question is, how much money have the Clintons received via Bill from the Islamist sheiks of Dubai, and when did they start receiving it?
Dick Morris has some more recent questions about the mysterious relationship between the Clintons and the depraved UAE:
The Clinton’s Hypocrisy on Dubai
Hillary Clinton and her campaign repeatedly highlight her ardent feminism, her lifelong advocacy of workers’ rights, her consistent support for unions, and her love of Israel.
But those principles go right out the window if there’s money involved. When it comes to lining their pockets, the Clintons have a double standard. While Hillary chastises American corporations and employers for lay-offs and opposition to greater union organizing rights, Bill is paid big bucks that go into their joint bank accounts to legitimize the anti-Semitic, anti-worker, anti-union, and anti-woman Arab state of the UAE and its emirates of Dubai.
It’s not just Bill’s $1.2 million Dubai speaking fees that have enriched the Clintons, and its not just the million dollar contribution by the Emir of Dubai to the Clinton Presidential Library that has endeared the Islamic monarchy to them.
It’s much more that that: Bill Clinton was personally responsible for delivering the ruler of Dubai and Prime Minister of the U.A.E., Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to a partnership with Yucaipa Cos., headed by Bill and Hillary’s uber-fundraiser Ron Burkle.
Bill Clinton is a paid adviser and member of the Board of Directors of Yucaipa. Together, the Sheik and Yucaipa have formed a new company, Dubai Investment Group Limited, to jointly invest Yucaipa funds and the Sheik’s personal funds.
So Bill Clinton is now an adviser and member of the board of directors of a company that is in partnership with the government of Dubai — a part of the world that blatantly discriminates against women, abuses workers in violation of international law, outlaws unions, deports strikers, and bans Israelis and their products from ever entering the country.
One of the most important things we need to know about a presidential candidate is to whom they may owe favors. Are their personal interests more tied up with a foreign country than they are with the American people? Is there an overwhelming foreign interest controlling the decisions and action of that person? Or, at th every least, do their financial relationships reveal an sympathy for tyrants?
I think it’s safe to safe, ranging from the Dubai relationship and the Ron Burkle relationship, the Clintons are beholden to Islamists who run a despotic, racist, Jew-hating tyranny. I’ve always noted BJ’s sex addiction makes him a security risk for this nation. Well now we can add the appearance of both of them being bought by an Islamist nation. Their apparent effort to keep hidden the source(s) of that $15-18 million does seem to indicate that they feel the American people wouldn’t like what they see.

With all that income, I’d like to know if Bill made good on this vow from 1996. Given his track record on vows, I doubt it.
All this ‘ obscene profit ‘ the Clintons made should turn Hillary’s stomach as did the oil companies profit that she ranted on about and said she wanted to take away from them to use to further her agenda. Capitalism is such an evil thing giving people the opportunity to become filthy rich !
Pat , I would expect Bill to make good on that vow with as much zeal as O.J. had going after the ‘ real killers ‘
Oh what a tangled web we weave..Huh Bill and Hill?
These tax returns are Obama’s early PA gift. I think we all became forensic accountants tonight looking through the numbers and as usual, with a Clinton, those numbers just don’t add up.
Many many more questions, I should say so!
“they’ve actually asked for an extension of time to file for 2007. How strange when you have a team of people doing your taxes for you.”
Not strange at all. File for an extension and your tax liability for that year doesn’t change. That means you can hold what you would be paying to Uncle Sam, and invest it, for just that much longer.
And in some measure of fairness to Dubai, while everything Dick Morris said is true, Dubai is Las Vegas compared to Saudi Arabia.
[The rules are easy and clear–the filing deadline is April 15th. You can get an extension if you have an extraordinary circumstance, which does not include “hanging onto my money so I can make more interest.” The bottom line is the Clintons will, in some way, misrepresent their situation in order to get an extension. Perhaps they’ll blame it on sniper fire.–Tammy]
