http:// thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/365021-obama-visits-dc-boys-girls-club

Former President Barack Obama, donning a Santa hat, stopped by a branch of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington on Thursday.

The former president paid a visit to the Jelleff Club in Northeast Washington, where he visited with about 50 middle school students taking part in after-school activities, The Washington Post reported.

During the visit, which lasted about half an hour, Obama brought gifts and posed for a photo with the students. He tweeted about the experience shortly after.

"There's no better time than the holiday season to reach out and give back to our communities," he tweeted. "Great to hear from young people at the Boys & Girls Club in DC today."

Hillary Rodham Clinton charged $200,000 to speak at a Boys and Girls Club charity event last year and then donated 100 percent of her earnings back into her family’s own $2 billion foundation, according to a recent Politicoreport.

The Democratic presidential candidate’s $200,000 speaking fee was the largest paid by the Boys and Girls Club of Long Beach to any speaker and was among the least profitable, according to sources familiar with club finances, Politico reported.

Hillary Clinton comes to Long Beach to raise money for Boys & Girls Club

https://www.ocregister.com/2014/03/05/hillary-clinton-comes-to-long-beach-to-raise-money-for-boys-girls-club/

Long Beach’s upper crust got a visit with Hillary Clinton on Tuesday as the former first lady and secretary of state came to town to raise funds for the Boys & Girls Club of Long Beach.

Clinton took photos with many of her supporters at the Keesal, Young & Logan law offices downtown, before talking to nearly 300 of Long Beach’s movers and shakers about her passion to help young people. The event was closed to the media.

The Clinton Foundation recently partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America to give 4 million at-risk children access to more nutritious food and provide a healthier environment.

The annual event is a must-attend fundraiser in Long Beach. In the past, it has attracted keynote speakers such as former president Bill Clinton, former secretaries of state Condoleezza Rice and Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and former British prime ministers Tony Blair and Margaret Thatcher.

The attendees included a who’s who list of Long Beach. The luncheon raised money with $1,500 for individual tickets up to $50,000 for a platinum table sponsor.

Among those who attended: Mayor Bob Foster; former mayor Beverly O’Neill; City Manager Pat West; Mario Cordero, chairman of the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission; City Councilman Gary DeLong, who is making a bid to win the 47th District congressional seat; councilman and mayoral candidate Robert Garcia; Randy Gordon, president of the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce; and Michelle Molina, a North Pine Avenue real estate developer. Executives also came from Tesoro, Toyota and Clark Construction, which built the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse in Long Beach.

Hi everyone – we wanted to give you some updates on recent events, Foundation work, and announcements in the news this week and last.

Tim Kaine, Possible Hillary Clinton Pick for Vice President, Goes to Bat for Banks

https:// theintercept.com/2016/07/20/tim-kaine-possible-hillary-clinton-pick-for-vice-president-signals-support-to-banks/

In fact, regional banks with over $50 billion in assets like PNC, BB&T, SunTrust, and Regions Financial, are among the 33 subject to annual stress tests by the Federal Reserve. In an interconnected financial system, a large regional bank that gets into trouble has as much chance of creating ripple effects as a mega-bank. It’s unclear why they should be exempted from regulations deemed appropriate for all facets of the financial sector.

SunTrust Bank Submits to Obama Administration

http:// freebeacon.com/issues/suntrust-bank-submits-to-obama-administration/

UPDATE 2:03 P.M.: An earlier version of this story said that thousands of small businesses were affected by SunTrust's decision. Several businesses were affected.

SunTrust Bank has cut business ties with several small businesses that the Obama administration considers "objectionable," according to the Daily Signal.

SunTrust made the decision to cut ties with "payday lenders, pawn shops, and dedicated check-cashers" after the Justice Department began pressing banks to move away from doing business with companies that the administration doesn't like.

According to a House committee report, the FDIC, under direction of the Justice Department, has pressured banks and other financial institutions to sever ties to a variety of legal businesses that the Obama administration considers objectionable.

“A Calamitous Collapse”: Former Podesta Group Employees Reveal Truth Behind Firm’s Downfall

Posted on April 19, 2018

Former Podesta Group employees have spilled the beans about their former boss, Tony Podesta – in a scathing Wall Street Journal article which details the firm’s collapse. As part of the report, The Journal got its hands on “internal Podesta Group accounting,” as well as “financial documents, calendars and communications.”

The D.C. lobbying firm founded in 1993 by John and Tony Podesta folded shop following Hillary Clinton’s monumental loss in the 2016 US election, when a flood of clients ran for the door virtually overnight, realizing the Podesta Group’s influence ended with the Clinton campaign.

The Journal describes Tony Podesta’s fall as a “calamitous collapse” following the 2016 US election:

Then he fell, a calamitous collapse propelled by unexpected blows, delivered by fate and made worse by hubris. Financial problems, legal threats and the election of President Donald Trump took it all away—the clients, the firm and, finally, Mr. Podesta’s position as one of Washington’s most influential players.
