The Wife of Wacostein is nothing but a crook out to fleece the public. All officials are like this. Even after they leave office they still cheat the taxpayers.

US taxpayers spent $55k on travel expenses for Hillary Clinton's BOOK TOUR in Paris and Berlin | Mail Online

11 August 2014
Hillary Clinton left her post at the top of the U.S. State Department on Feb. 1, 2013, but the federal government spent more than $55,000 on travel expenses related to her book tour just last month, procurement documents show.

The expenses included a $3,668 charge for her to enjoy a single night's lodging in a suite at the posh Four Seasons George V hotel in Paris.

That rate corresponds to the cost of a suite with a 'large and superbly appointed marble bathroom,' a 'deep soaking tub,' 'sparkling chandeliers' and 'elegant period furniture,' according to the Four Seasons website.

Purchase orders also show that taxpayers footed the bill for a $5,100 rental of three Mercedes-Benz executive limousine vans during a single day in Berlin.

The one-time first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state was conducting interviews in Europe related to her book 'Hard Choices,' and was not traveling on official government business.

Geez, the 8-14 million dollar advance wasn't enough? How many copies has she sold ? About 135 thousand? Coming soon to the dollar store- Hillary's memiors.
 
First ladies have historically enjoyed Secret Service protection for life after they leave the White House.

The same can't be said, however, for former cabinet secretaries, making it curious that the State Department's Paris Embassy was on the hook for the other costs.

'On a foreign trip like that, State Department sometimes pays the original bill and Secret Service might reimburse it later,' said Donovan.
 
If taxpayer money was spent to fund Hillary's European book tour, that is clearly wrong. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
