Head of Clinton Foundation: The Clintons are paranoid loonies


Clinton Foundation head Donna Shalala** privately expressed concerns about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s mental state in the mid-1990s, saying they had become “paranoid” and fixated on “right-wing conspiracies,” according to previously unpublished audio recordings obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
In 1994, four years before Hillary Clinton said a “vast right-wing conspiracy” was trying to take down her husband’s presidency, top aide Shalala said this theory was already embraced by the Clintons.
“They’ve become paranoid. Paranoia. Thinking people are out to get them, this right-wing conspiracy stuff,” said Shalala, who was the head of Health and Human Services during the August 1994 interview.
This isn’t new to anyone who has watched the Clintons. In addition to being grifters with no sense of propriety, they are clinically diagnosable as paranoids under DSM-5. What makes this newsworthy is that everyone knows this, even their cronies, but no one in the press has reported on it until now.
“[The Clintons are] feeling sorry for themselves. They talk about [conspiracies] all the time,” said Shalala. “That there really is a conspiracy out there to get us. That we don’t have a chance, people don’t understand how much good we’ve done. Our message isn’t getting across because these people are beating us up.”
Shalala said documents about supposed right-wing conspiracies were also being distributed to White House staffers.
“There is a feeling in the White House, and I don’t know whether it’s [James] Carville or [Paul] Begala or who’s giving them the materials,” said Shalala. “But sitting on the desks of their staff there’s these materials on this right-wing conspiracy.”
Rather than abating since they made their Clampett-esque exit from the White House, literally taking the furniture with them, the feelings of persecution seem to have metastasized– at least in regards to Hillary. Bill was confident enough to party with a pedophile. Her use of a private email server and having a handler follow a reporter into the bathroom are great examples of the ongoing paranoia. It also explains Hillary avoiding press questions and unscripted encounters with voters.
**Full disclosure. I have seen Donna Shalala in a tennis skirt (Montrose Park tennis courts, Washington, DC) and survived with only 20% of my body turned to stone, minor loss of sight in my left eye, and a permanent gag reflex at the sight of small curd cottage cheese.

Jumping the (Real Estate) Gun? Clinton Confidante Buys Condo In DC

Is someone optimistic that Hillary Clinton is going to be spending a lot more time in Washington, D.C., in the years ahead? Donna Shalala, the longtime Clinton family confidante who was announced as the head of the New York-based Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation in March, closed that same month on a Georgetown condo in an upscale building with waterfront views. According to real estate records, Shalala purchased for $862,500 the one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit on Water Street NW under a trust account in her name; at just 924 square feet, that’s quite the pricey pied a terre.

Sources say Shalala will likely spend most of her time in New York for her foundation job, which would make the Georgetown property a secondary home—the type of place you’d use frequently if your boss, for instance, was the First Husband and your other boss was the President. Shalala has gotten used to cushy digs. As president of the University of Miami, where she has been since leaving the Clinton administration as secretary of health and human services in 2001, she lived at the school’s massive Coral Gables presidential house until it was sold for $9 million in 2012. Since then she’s been bunking at a new, 9,000-square-foot, two-story home, complete with an elevator, dubbed “Ibis House,” in Pinecrest, an expensive gated community. Shalala is slated to depart University of Miami in early May, at the end of the academic year.
