Hilary's Right Hand Cheryl Mills Took Money from the a College Funded by the United Arab Emirates While, Get This, Supposedly Working on Behalf of the United States

It's not just Hillary and Bill Clinton. It's all their conscienceless little footsoldiers, up their eyeballs in intimidation and dirty money.

Hillary Clinton's top aide Cheryl Mills held several outside roles, including a board position with a UAE-funded university in Abu Dhabi, while working as chief of staff and counselor at the State Department, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

After joining the State Department in the beginning of 2009, Mills continued to serve as general counsel for New York University for several months. She also sat on the board of the "NYU in Abu Dhabi Corporation," the fundraising arm for the university's UAE satellite campus. The school is bankrolled by the Abu Dhabi government and has been criticized by NYU professors and human rights activists for alleged labor abuses.

Mills resigned both positions in May 2009, according to a university spokesperson. Although she did not receive a direct salary from the Abu Dhabi board, she collected $198,000 over four months from NYU.

While the State Department told the Free Beacon that Mills did not start working as Clinton’s chief of staff until May 24, 2009, internal agency documents indicate she began months earlier.

Mills is also copied on over a dozen internal State Department memos vetting Bill Clinton's paid speaking engagements between February and May 2009. The documents were released last year under a Freedom of Information Act request from Judicial Watch.

As the Free Beacon previously reported, Mills was still on the board of the William J. Clinton Foundation during this time.

I salute John Boehner in his courageous drive to strike more deals with these fine statesmen.
