By all accounts, it was the most popular gala the Lady Taverners had ever held. Over 1,000 people packed the Park Lane Hilton in London on Oct. 30, 2009, with the crowd overflowing into the hallways, to listen to President Bill Clinton speak on the power of giving.
While Clinton’s speech helped raise a substantial sum for the prominent cricket charity, his staggering $290,000 speaking fee was not covered by the group, according to organizers. The fee also was not covered by “World Management Limited,” the marketing company Hillary Clinton listed as the payment source in her federal financial filings.
It was bankrolled by a wealthy British businessman named Robert Whitton—a name you won’t find included in the Clintons’ public disclosure forms.
A review by the Washington Free Beacon found that Hillary Clinton often listed small foreign speaking firms as the sources of her husband’s lecture payments in her Senate and State Department disclosures, even though the actual paychecks came from undisclosed third parties.
In certain cases, these funders had interests that intersected with the U.S. State Department. Whitton, a real estate mogul, had business pending before UNESCO, an international agency that received a quarter of its funding from the State Department.

Don't bring your dkos talking points here, we know enough about this crap to know better. Nobody else had a thrown together MIcrosoft Exchange Server in their damned basement. Nobody else had a thousand documents ranging from Classified to Top Secret - Special Access Program: NOFORN. Nobody else kept said documents in such an insecure location years beyond their exit from government service. Nobody else incompetently attempted to destroy the evidence when a lawful request for the documents was served. Nobody else had the Director of the FBI lay out all of these crimes in perfectly clear language and then decline to recommend charges.
