"Clinton U"

With her campaign sinking in the polls, Hillary Clinton has launched a desperate attack against Trump University to deflect attention away from her deep involvement with a controversial for-profit college that made the Clintons millions, even as the school faced serious legal scrutiny and criminal investigations.
In April 2015, Bill Clinton was forced to abruptly resign from his lucrative perch as honorary chancellor of Laureate Education, a for-profit college company. The reason for Clinton’s immediate departure: Clinton Cash revealed, and Bloomberg confirmed, that Laureate funneled Bill Clinton $16.46 million over five years while Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. pumped at least $55 million to a group run by Laureate’s founder and chairman, Douglas Becker, a man with strong ties to the Clinton Global Initiative. Laureate has donated between $1 million and $5 million (donations are reported in ranges, not exact amounts) to the Clinton Foundation. Progressive billionaire George Soros is also a Laureate financial backer.

As the Washington Post reports, “Laureate has stirred controversy throughout Latin America, where it derives two-thirds of its revenue.” During Bill Clinton’s tenure as Laureate’s chancellor, the school spent over $200 million a year on aggressive telemarketing, flashy Internet banner ads, and billboards designed to lure often unprepared students from impoverished countries to enroll in its for-profit classes. The goal: get as many students, regardless of skill level, signed up and paying tuition.

“I meet people all the time who transfer here when they flunk out elsewhere,” agronomy student Arturo Bisono, 25, told the Post. “This has become the place you go when no one else will accept you.”

Others, like Rio state legislator Robson Leite who led a probe into Bill Clinton’s embattled for-profit education scheme, say the company is all about extracting cash, not educating students. “They have turned education into a commodity that focuses more on profit than knowledge,” said Leite.

Progressives have long excoriated for-profit education companies for placing profits over quality pedagogy. Still, for five years, Bill Clinton allowed his face and name to be plastered all over Laureate’s marketing materials. As Clinton Cash reported, pictures of Bill Clinton even lined the walkways at campuses like Laureate’s Bilgi University in Istanbul, Turkey. That Laureate has campuses in Turkey is odd, given that for-profit colleges are illegal there, as well as in Mexico and Chile where Laureate also operates.

Shortly after Bill Clinton’s lucrative 2010 Laureate appointment, Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. began pumping millions of its USAID dollars to a sister nonprofit, International Youth Foundation (IYF), which is run by Laureate’s founder and chairman, Douglas Becker. Indeed, State Dept. funding skyrocketed once Bill Clinton got on the Laureate payroll, according to Bloomberg:

A Bloomberg examination of IYF’s public filings show that in 2009, the year before Bill Clinton joined Laureate, the nonprofit received 11 grants worth $9 million from the State Department or the affiliated USAID. In 2010, the group received 14 grants worth $15.1 million. In 2011, 13 grants added up to $14.6 million. The following year, those numbers jumped: IYF received 21 grants worth $25.5 million, including a direct grant from the State Department.

Throughout ten Democratic Party debates, Establishment Media have not asked Hillary Clinton a single question about she and her husband’s for-profit education scam.

Cue DbackJon to tell us how this "school" was more legit than Trump University.

She's dishonest. Trump is moreso. See Politifact.

We'll see the legs this angle has. I've noticed Trump sycophants have been throwing this out there to try to act like it's the same thing. It's not. This is not "Clinton University." The Clintons did not establish a "university" for the purpose of scamming people. Trump did that.

And it's not the Clintons that started this Trump university thing. Hillary's trying to exploit it. But she didn't start it. Plus what really got things going is Trump's insistence on going after the judge in the case.

Nice try. But this thing for HIllary is not like the Trump University thing is for Trump and I doubt that it's going to cause her as much trouble as the Trump University thing is causing Trump.

And, look, I know this is ad hominem but Breibart.com has no credibility on Trump at this point. It's like citing that Katrina Pierson woman as though she's some objective, credible source. Why even post something from there? It's like posting something on the Trump campaign web site.

That's the beauty of it, for every Trump attack, there will be a counter to it with literally the same accusations already have been committed by hilldog. This is going to be great.

You wish you had some of that swag?

Hillary is definitely more dishonest than Trump. Trump might tell some things that Politifact doesn't like but at least he isn't lying about people dying.

What is your rational, unemotional rebuttal? There are two sides to every story. Laureate Education and GCI are connected, that's a fact (but not proof of misdeeds.) It's also no secret that once Bill resigned from his position, Hillary began criticizing for-profit universities. That seems sketchy to me.

Laureate Education is a for-profit college, which I thought liberals were against, which registered for it IPO.

Trump hasn't been in position to do that. It's like I saw some post about Hillary being involved in actions killing muslims during the various conflicts. Well...obviously she has. She's been in the crucible. Trump has not. Do you think Trump would be honest about something bad that happened if he made a decision to take a military action as President? Seriously? Why on Earth would you think Trump would ever admit he screwed up? There is absolutely NO indication that he would ever do that no matter how obvious it is that he did.

[JohnStOnge]

Ok I'll give this to you guys:

I'm trying to find anything about any State attorney generals going after Laureate Education for fraud. I can't. But I'm willing to look at it if you guys have it.

If I didn't know any better I would think you were trying to convince everyone that Trump and Hillary are precisely the same

Think about it. Hillary will indeed admit she screwed up if it's really obvious that she did. A recent example: All other things aside with respect to that private server thing, Hillary admitted that she screwed up.

Trump would never do that. No matter how obvious it is that he screwed up, he ain't admitting that he screwed up.

[catbooster]

And her admission (I didn't know, we asked and they said it was ok, it was the IT guy's fault, yada, yada, yada..) is as much a lie as if she said she didn't do it.

The people that are going to vote for Trump
and the people that are going to vote for Hilary are SET

There will be very little shifting between now and November on those two
The horse is out of the barn - both of them should be in jail frankly - everybody knows that much
and their constituencies are LOCKED DOWN

What's left is just the wrangling and in fighting
and who's going to peel off and vote for neither

You forgot to say their supporters are blind to their personal and professional flaws not to mention their collective lack of character.

As more is revealed
The only thing either of them stand to do between now and THE END is actually lose voters
