Do you know anybody in the insurance business? A couple of years ago a friend got to cruise the Scandinavian fjords and up the river to St. Petersburg. The next year, it was Hawaii. Two week trip. A friend owns an insurance company. Their training sessions are always held in a resort area. Their rewards to producers are always nice trips. Should that be other income?

Happens daily all over town. Out to dinner with friends, business? We split season baseball tickets with two BIG accounting firms for 20 years. Business for entertaining their clients.

Evidence? No.

Concerning? Yes.

Doug Bend began as an unpaid intern in the Clinton White House and eventually became a paid employee.

Band was the former counsellor and chief advisor to Bill after he left office. Doug is credited with raising $69 billion for 2100 separate global initiatives.

In 2011, Chelsea accused Doug of a conflict of interest because he was running his own consulting firm and competing with the foundation while an employee of the foundation. Obviously there was no love lost between the two.

Doug left the foundation in 2013, the same year he alleged Chelsea used foundation resources for her wedding based on third hand hearsay/ gossip.

Bill and Hillary earned $153 million in reported and taxed speaking fees between 2001- early 2015 when she declared herself a primary candidate. I think the family could well afford to throw their daughter the wedding of her dreams.

Best case, business can deduct 50% of qualifying expenses. Earning CE credits at Sea is common in the medical and insurance professions. Cruises recieve extra scrutiny because they are common. Heck, corporations charter entire cruise ships for the duration of Olympics.

Private golf clubs would likely fold if it were not for corporate sponsorship. Corporations tend to be the largest Season Ticket Holders at sporting events.

Attempting to deduct part of the cost of a wedding does not pass the smell test.

Go ahead and be concerned, then.

You know that and I know that, but people still get buy with it. The IRS has been downsized for years.

Since the Clinton foundation puts all their finances online, somehow I doubt the gossip. Chelsea may have even uttered the statement. Does not mean they did it.

Plus all the other stuff concerning Band. He would be more at home working for Trump.

Did Trump rape a 13 year old?
