RUSH: We were just talking about what a great country this is. Let me tell you. The Clintons have made more than $50 million since leaving the White House. Fifty million dollars! This is from ABC\u2019s Brian Ross. ‘Hillary Clinton\u2019s been pulling out all the stops to win the Democrat nomination but one: She still hasn\u2019t released her family\u2019s tax returns.\u2019 But ABC did an investigation, and they have found all kinds of evidence that the Clintons have earned more than $50 million since leaving the White House. Here is Brian Ross talking about it on Good Morning America today.<\/p>\n

<\/a>ROSS: An examination of the records Clinton has filed reveals her husband is a partner in an investment fund, Yucaipa Global Partnership, registered in the Cayman Islands. The former president\u2019s Cayman Island investment is part of his dealings with a close friend, Los Angeles billionaire Ron Burkle. Clinton is also expected to receive a payout of around $20 million for his role as an advisor to Burkle\u2019s investment fund. Clinton also has been paid millions as a consultant for a company run by another close friend, Indian-American businessman Vinod Gupta. Clinton had earned $47 million in speaking fees since leaving the White House. A spokesman for the Clinton campaign says the former president and his wife paid full US taxes at the ordinary income tax rate, meaning they get no special tax breaks because the Cayman investment fund offshore doesn\u2019t give them one, they say. But with taxes, the devil is in the details, and the proof of what they really pay will come when the Clintons finally make public their tax returns sometime, they say, before, April 15th.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oooooo! When is the last time you ever thought you would ever hear a report like this from a Drive-By network about the Clintons? Well, ‘the Clintons say they pay the usual rate, they\u2019re not getting any offshore benefit from being in the Caymans. But with taxes the devil is in the details\u2019? Now, if Clinton\u2019s made $47 million in speaking fees since leaving the White House, and there have been a couple books in there, and don\u2019t forget all the donations to the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor, and we don\u2019t know very many people on that list. It\u2019s a great country, folks. It\u2019s a fabulous country! Look, if the Clintons can do it, you can do it. (laughing) Actually, the way they did it, we can\u2019t. That\u2019s the dirty little secret. The way the Clintons did this, we can\u2019t do it. (interruption) I don\u2019t know why you would be… Well, I\u2019m being asked, ‘What possible reasons for being in the Cayman Islands if you don\u2019t care about the offshore tax break?\u2019 You\u2019d have to ask Ron Burkle about this. This is Ron Burkle\u2019s bunch that\u2019s down there, and Clinton is a… (interruption) I know! (interruption) Snerdley. Don\u2019t give me this. Everybody start yelling in my ear now. ‘But the Clintons are always complaining about the offshore guys, how they weren\u2019t paying their fair share of taxes.\u2019 They\u2019re Democrats for crying out loud! I just went through the whole thing. They\u2019re good people; their intentions are honorable. It\u2019s Republicans whose intentions are not honorable. Republicans don\u2019t think we could have a utopia. Republicans do not think the world is perfectible; the Democrats do. So anything they do is okay, because their intentions are honorable. It\u2019s a two-way street in virtually every aspect of life for liberal Democrats. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
