This month Obamas officially purchased the Edgartown Estate, an $11.75 million waterfront mansion in Martha’s Vineyard.

In 2017 the Obamas purchased an $8.1 million home in DC’s Kalorama neighborhood & own a 6,243 sf home in Chicago’s South Side Kenwood neighborhood.
The listing details the property’s “long and winding driveway, sprawling lawn and incredible water views” and notes that the main residence is “finished with the finest details,” including...
...“multiple seating and entertaining spaces, a modern Chef’s kitchen, and a formal circular dining room surrounded by a wall of windows overlooking the grounds.” It is also equipped with a jacuzzi located off the second-floor balcony...
“There are two guest wings and an impressive master suite with fireplace, private sun deck and spectacular water views,” the listing boasts.
“Your summer days can be spent poolside in a garden-like setting with the sounds of the waves lapping in the distance, or exploring the expansive Great Pond and outer barrier beach for a full day on the water,” it adds.
Additionally, the waterfront home reportedly features “seven bedrooms, eight and a half baths, and several stone fireplaces,” along with a “detached barn and a pool.”
The Obamas are worth 30 times more than when they entered the White House in 2008. Barak Obama has made millions from speaking engagements & his best-selling books. Michelle Obama's memoir "Becoming" was the top-selling book of 2018.

The Obamas entered the White House w/ net worth of $1.3 million. Today, net worth is $40 to $135 million. From speaking at events around the world to writing memoirs & signing a massive production deal w Netflix, the Obamas' life after the WH has been very lucrative.
Haters Can’t Stand That President Obama’s Wealth Multiplies After Leaving The White House

A new estimate of the Obama‘s net worth has some folks pretty upset, as they look the other way while Trump allegedly uses the presidency to make money.

Bank of America has proven to be a steady stock option, both in the short term and in the long term.

Recently, the bank has seen better-than-expected performance during Q3 of 2019. And if you invested a decade ago, it would have turned you a profit.

12/2/2017 Covington and Burling: The secret conspiracy undermining Michael Flynn by Scott Bennett
The well runs deep – the other side of the Michael Flynn scandal.

theduran.com/covington-and-…
Covington and Burling is a global law firm, headquartered in Washington DC, that represents, among others, Saudi Arabia and Union Bank of Switzerland as separate clients, yet with suspiciously profitable mutual interests and relationships. If we draw out a schematic...
...and connect the dots of these interests and relationships—like Sean Hannity clumsily tried to do on Fox News a few weeks ago—we will see that Covington and Burling is directly connected to Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton...

and Pentagon Comptroller Dov Zakheim, U.S. Central Command’s terror financing operation, and General Michael Flynn as Defense Intelligence Agency Director in 2012...
Here’s an earth-shaking, time-stopping truth you won’t read anywhere in the world, except The Duran: Michael Flynn’s attorney—which today persuaded Flynn to take a “plea deal” and admit to making a false statement (18 USC 1001)...
—is the same law firm that in 2009 not only worked with Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Loretta Lynch,  and Eric Holder at the State Department, Justice Department, Treasury Department, CIA, and the Military to conspire to confiscate and hide...
19,000 Union Bank of Switzerland  bank accounts used for laundering funds for terrorist financing from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and the same law firm protecting Saudi Arabian clients funneling millions of dollars into Wahhabi mercenaries invading and waging war...

Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation on not only the Clinton Presidential campaign, but how to transform that potential Clinton Presidency into the most corrupt syndicate of international terrorism, human trafficking, financial fraud, racketeering, and extortion...
...since the invention of death itself.  This law firm is Covington and Burling, & their website & client list & history tells the story—but not all of it. I’ll tell the best parts here, & no doubt outrage those who are guilty of the most outrageous govmnt criminality in America.
Brazile’s belated acknowledgement that the DNC was under the direct control of the Clinton campaign rather than a neutral arbiter has enflamed a long-burning feud... lending official credence to the argument that the DNC was tilted in Clinton’s favor.

11/3/2017 Angry About the DNC Scandal? THANK OBAMA by Ryan Grim

Walking away unscathed is the man who set the blaze in the first place: President Barack Obama. “Nobody wanted to out the fact that Obama had let it get so bad,” said the DNC official. 

theintercept.com/2017/11/03/dnc…
The party organization was still deeply in debt from the 2012 campaign, owing millions to banks & vendors, burning through what little cash it had at a stunning rate of some $3 to $4 million/mo. By August 2015, the DNC was becoming unable to make payroll and approaching...
...the equivalent of bankruptcy, according to a former senior party official, who requested anonymity...
Brazile’s reference to Marc Elias in her exposé was an extra twist of the knife.

Elias was the Clinton campaign’s attorney plus the attorney for the DNC. A partner at Perkins Coie, Elias replaced Bob Bauer, another Perkins Coie attorney when Obama brought him into the WH.
THE COMING RUSSIAN BOMBSHELLS & DEMS’ PERKINS COIE LEGAL TEAM by Ami Tiel 11/1/2017
#RussianAsset, #FUSIONGPS,
#fbiabuseofpower: Meet Marc E. Elias of #PerkinsCoie, political law practice chairman who hired the research firm that compiled the dossier...
americandigitalnews.com/index.php/2017…
...of explosive, unverified allegations about Russia connections of President Donald Trump and his campaign.
PERKINS COIE, LLC works on behalf of: Clinton Campaign, Democratic National Committee (DNC), (DSCC) and Obama For America (OFA) just to name a few.
Obama’s campaign operation, Obama for America, took small-dollar giving to never-before-seen heights & opened up a possibility of a transformation of politics but marginalized it after the 2008 election, renaming it Organizing for America & ordering it to do little organizing.
Obama worried that if grassroots activists attacked Blue Dog Democrats, they would bolt from the president and lose in 2010. Then-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel famously told activists such a strategy was “fucking retarded.” The Tea Party wave swept them out in 2010.
OFA became Obama’s primary campaign apparatus, supplanting the DNC, which became an afterthought handed to Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., who later became Clinton’s running mate. After the 2010 wave, Obama put Florida Rep. DWS on top of the moribund institution.
Raising money for a bland outfit like the DNC isn’t easy, but w/ Obama offering little to no help & clinging to his invaluable email list DWS was set up to fail. Obama instead reasoned that he could become the party, his dynamic and charismatic personality carrying it...
Obama was re-elected, but the party itself went on a historic losing spree, ultimately shedding nearly 1,000 seats across the country.
2014 Returns

After Democrats lose the Senate & DNC continue spending money on consultants at an eye-popping rate, Obama decides not to make a leadership change but saddles it w/ DWS & a mountain of debt the HRC campaign would agree to pay off in exchange for control.
2016 Returns

Obama finally becomes interested after the 2016 loss. His final gift to the party apparatus is Tom Perez, his labor secretary, recruited to stop Rep. Keith Ellison, D-MN. from winning DNC chair.

DNC funding-raising is anemic.

#ThanksObama!

The DNC is nearly broke
Another critical factor that appears to be hobbling the DNC’s fundraising is the emergence of Organizing for Action (OFA), the independent nonprofit created by Obama campaign alums...

fortune.com/2013/09/30/the…
...in the wake of the election to push the President’s second-term agenda. An earlier iteration of OFA was housed inside the DNC during the first term, but the Obama brain trust assessed it fell well short of its potential there. Now based in Chicago & headed...
...by Jim Messina, who managed Obama’s reelection, the outfit leases the campaign’s vaunted email list and controls the Obama Twitter handle (current follower count: 37.2 million), using both to drive OFA's message and raise money...
...OFA can raise unlimited sums from deep-pocketed donors, and there is some evidence it is siphoning resources from the DNC.
...OFA offers the glamour of helping the President wage the battles unfolding day by day on the front pages. That pitch, more or less, is easy: “Supported Obama for a second term? Contribute to OFA and help him secure his legacy.”

The DNC’s is murkier.
“Donors are being pulled in two directions, and there’s absolutely no doubt it’s impacted the DNC’s fundraising,” one top Democratic operative said. “I’m hearing it from donors regularly that they’re being told to help one and not the other.”
fortune.com/2013/09/30/the…
...with the 2014 midterms coming into view, expect the party’s Congressional leadership to start applying more pressure on the White House to get involved. Without sustained help from the President, the committee will not be in a position to provide material support...
Mustering that presidential muscle will get tougher as Obama’s second term wears on, once his attention turns to legacy projects like fundraising for his library & donors puzzle over whether the committee becomes a stalking-horse for a presidential bid by HRC or someone else.
In early 16th-century England a “stalking horse” was one trained to conceal the hunter walking behind it, which allowed human predators to sneak up on their prey. By 1594 the term had evolved into a metaphor for underhanded political dealing.

The DNC refuses to pay nearly $15,000 to cover OT costs for a fund-raising visit from Obama in Westport Aug. 6. Obama came Stamford for a $500-per person reception at the Stamford Marriott from which he went to the home of #HarveyWeinstein for a $35,800-per person dinner...

Obama left CT with about $2 million for his re-election campaign.

Joseloff said he sent letters to the DNC, Obama for America, & Weinstein requesting reimbursement for the OT.

6/1/2014 Heloc Payment Jump to Take Bite Out of Consumer Spending. Loans About to Reset Will Mean Higher Bills for Many Borrowers

A bill is coming due from America's decade-old borrowing binge as payments jump on a number of home-equity credit lines taken out during the boom.
At issue are home-equity lines of credit, known as Helocs, which allow homeowners to tap their equity to fund home improvement, college tuitions and other expenses. Those loans typically let borrowers make interest-only payments for the...

07/21/2017 Broke And Bleeding Cash, DNC Ends June $3.3 Million In Debt
zerohedge.com/news/2017-07-2…
After spending an obscene amount of money on the GA special election (Jon Ossoff vs Karen Handel) DNC's balance sheet looks deflated. Spending $22 million for a seat candidates spend about $1 million/ea & $176 per vote, 7.6x what Handel spent, takes a toll on a war chest.
DNC Chair Tom Perez recently sent out a fundraising email to supporters claiming, “I know garbage when I see it,” citing that he once worked on a dump truck...
...ironic, Perez referred to the GOP health care bill as a “flaming dumpster fire” bc he has been presiding over the disaster that is the DNC, which reported May 2017 as its worst fundraising mo since the Iraq War in 2003 & April 2017 as its worst fundraising mo since 2009.
In May, the DNC also reported that it has $1.9 million in debt. Despite the fact that former Secretary of Labor Tom Perez was recruited by Barack Obama to appease the party’s donors, lobbyists and PACs, even they have refused to prop up the failing brand...
Not approving of the strategies laid out at a retreat for donors in January 2017, billionaires Mark Pincus and Reid Hoffman started their own political organization, Win the Future.
As donors are increasingly tired of seeing their investments go to waste, many have started their own funds or used their access to take over leadership positions themselves—such as FL billionaire donor Stephen Bittel did to become the FL Democratic Party chair...
Democratic billionaire J.B. Pritzker is running for governor of IL & billionaire Tom Steyer is debating running for governor of CA. Haim Saban & James Simons poured millions into HRC’s presidential campaign, but they have yet to be listed by the FEC as DNC donors in 2017.
Additionally, George Soros has only given $33,900 to the DNC in 2017, but he poured millions of dollars into the Democratic Party in 2016.
What makes up the DNC's $3.3 million debt balance?  A $1 million bank loan & $2 million of overdue bills primarily due telemarketers. 

Ironically, of the vendors DNC can't afford to pay on a timely basis, one of few that has a zero balance is their paper shredding company...
RNC raised a record $13.4 million in June, bringing its total 2017 fundraising to $75.3 million.

late 2014

Elias called in by the office of Harry Reid to help craft a provision added into the $1.1 trillion spending bill at the last minute. The provision effectively raised the amount of money donors can give to political parties from $97,400 to $777,600...
The sudden addition of the provision surprised legislators on both sides of the aisle. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) commented at the time she did not know about it until one day before the vote on the year-end bill...
Elias’ firm, Perkins Coie, could benefit from the provision’s stealth implementation, which also allows for higher contributions to the legal fees of the committees. Described as having a “stranglehold” on Dem clients, Perkins Coie has raked in over $40 million in legal fees...
...since 2000 from clients ranging from Obama to the DNC.

Perkins Coie’s political law practice, anchored by Elias & former White House Counsel Bob Bauer, has a stranglehold on the Dem's election law business, representing not only the party committees themselves but...
Elias’ name turns up in another political fight... the bribery trial of Sen. Menendez (D) & co-defendant, Salomon Melgen. Defense moved for a mistrial after the judge indicated he won’t allow testimony from Elias.
Clinton’s Hillary for America campaign routed 37 payments to Fusion GPS through the law firm Perkins Coie, totaling over $5.5 million, and reported each as “legal services.” The DNC reported 345 payments to Perkins Coie during the election cycle & marked the payments...
...from June 2015 to Dec 2016 as “legal & compliance consulting, administrative fees, & data services subscription”... While DNC paid $3.6 million in “legal and compliance consulting’’ since Nov. 2015 it’s impossible to tell from the filings how much was related to Fusion GPS...
...In its capacity as attorney for the DNC, Perkins Coie, through another of its partners, Michael Sussman, is also the law firm that retained #CrowdStrike, the cyber security outfit, upon learning in April 2016 DNC’s servers had been hacked... 
softpanorama.org/Skeptics/Polit…
Perkins Coie hired both:
1. #FusionGPS
2. #Crowdstrike   

Crowdstrike claimed Russia hacked DNC servers. Given the fact that Perkins Coie lied to the NYT for a year regarding Fusion GPS should we maybe circle back around & kick the tires on Crowdstrike.

HRC team sought...
.. advice from attorneys at Perkins Coie on how it could help to raise funds for Priorities USA Action Fund, according to an April 2015 email published by @wikileaks.
