Teneo is a company co-founded by New York-based Irish PR consultant Declan Kelly (top with Bill Clinton in 2011) and currently embroiled in the ongoing Wikleaks dump.
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe this morning, hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski unpicked the latest leaked memo from Mr Kelly’s Teneo co-founder Doug Band revealing the “intersection” of the Clinton’s charitable and personal income.
Writing in 2011, Mr Band said Teneo partners had raised “in excess of $8 million for the foundation and $3 million” in paid speaking fees for Bill Clinton and secured contracts for the former president “that would pay out $66 million over the subsequent nine years”.
Good times.

Justin Lee Collins used to always say “Good times”.
During.
He still does, only now it’s part of the warm-up for his new gig as a ‘rode hard’ Barry Gibb in local tribute act The Brizzle Gees.
Bodgers penchant for all things Clinton continues
The hilarious thing (I could have made a pun there, but none of us need that) is that none of this is affecting Clinton’s campaign. She’s going to be president, and since all this info is already in the light, it’ll just be brushed off as old news if anyone tries to use it to impeach her. Essentially, Bodger is unwittingly guaranteeing a long and conviction free reign.
Republican Congress people are glued to Broadsheet.
True. If the dirt won’t stick during an election campaign then there isn’t much chance of it sticking after.
no,Trump is such a bad candidate that it’s a walkover but as soon as H is elected massive buyers remorse will set in and her term will be a scandal fest.shes a one termer at best (health permitting) unless she starts a war.
Bill the rapist thought the same till he got in a sticky situation with Monica and the blue dress. Mina, Watergate and Benghazi will follow her around like her colostomy bag, enjoy the ride
Is the AIF Kellys bi**h?
“The American Ireland Fund (AIF) – Total Giving: $350,000
2010: $250,000 year total – for the Operating Fund
2011: $100,000 year total – for the Operating Fund
Mr. Kelly is a trustee of AIF; he has urged and ensured that the AIF is a significant donor to the Foundation. Mr. Kelly has successfully secured $350,000 to date. Mr. Kelly also will continue giving in the coming years as well through the AIF.”

Teneo also recently bought out a Dublin PR firm, PSG

I’m still not seeing anything illegal or immoral with the Clinton Foundation. There is no smoking gun no matter how much innuendo is out there. It still gave millions to worthy causes.
How much good has the Trump Foundation done??
Yeah- it’s the equivalent of scary film music put over a Teletubbies episode.
Like Bills bank account when he was broke and needed to launder cash without paying tax. Easiest way to avoid paying tax, start a charity or better still, start a religion
fun times….Irish state still a significant contributor to AIF ?

The censorship on this site is really strange sometimes.
It was in Senate hearings a few Months back on IT ? I think , only a few sentences but enough for a taste of what could be made of it in Ireland !! which none followed ! Ta Broadsheet for leads !!
”bar a few august commentators ”’
AIF is tax exempt – oh yum :-)
It doesn’t make sense for the American Ireland Fund to give money to the Clinton Foundation.
This is the AIF mission statement:
“Our mission is to be the largest network of friends of Ireland dedicated to supporting programs of peace and reconciliation, arts and culture, education and community development throughout the island of Ireland.”
The Clinton Foundation doesn’t operate in Ireland.
when was the AIF hijacked by Kelly and become a front for his business interests?

Bob Mccann is the head of UBS Wealth Management and a long time client and close friend of Mr. Kelly. Mr. Kelly introduced Mr. Mccann to President Clinton at an American Ireland Fund event in 2009. Mr. Kelly subsequently asked Mr. Mccann to support the Foundation, which he did via the Clinton Economic Opportunity Initiative. Mr. Kelly also encouraged Mr. Mccann to invite President Clinton to give several paid speeches, which he has done. ”
