LEE KRAMER'S ROOM: With Views

[Susie924]

Your wife must be a saint to put up with you!

I don’t care if it cost the taxpayers zillions of dollars for the Clintons. The money paid for Secret Service was not going directly into the Clinton’s pockets.

Did you happen to notice what the snopes link said?

FALSE

Did the Clintons Charge Rent to the Secret Service?
Claims that the Clintons charged rent to the Secret Service security detail protecting their home in Chappaqua, New York, are false

And more:


It is a standard arrangement that the Secret Service provide payment to homeowners for space used by the agency in such situations. The Clintons did not take it upon themselves to “charge the Secret Service rent.”

Ythis amount was $1,100. (Note that this figure was not chosen by the Clintons, and it was well short of their monthly mortgage payment.)

Most important, although regulations call for the payment of this amount, the Clintons did not in fact accept any money from the Secret Service.
