Everything looked so promising for Elizabeth Holmes. At age 19 she dropped out of the prestigious Stanford University to start her own company, Theranos.
Her goal was odd for a nineteen-year-old – revolutionizing the diagnostics industry (blood testing). Holmes raised hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of her business career, initially setting out to create a technology that could run comprehensive blood tests from a single prick of blood. In sum, that would render traditional blood testing inefficient and pointless. Based on that promise, investors handed her cash by the truckload, at one point pushing the companies implied valuation above $10 billion.
Due to her perceived accomplishments, former President Obama would name her a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship.
Everything seemed perfect. There was just one problem: it was all one big fraud. Not only did Theranos’ blood testing machine not have the ability to do what they claimed it did, any blood tests the company did provide were done with existing technology from other companies, not their device.
In a single day, on June 1st, 2016, Forbes Magazine revised Holmes’ net worth from $4.5 billion to zero. And now two years later, she’s finally facing some consequences for creating the largest corporate fraud since Enron, but it’s the kind of slap on the wrist you’d expect a member of the Clinton family to receive.
And speaking of the Clintons, she was politically connected with the Left. She’s participated in Clinton Foundation events, including one where she accompanied Bill Clinton on stage for a panel discussion.
In March of 2016, she held a fundraiser for Hillary’s presidential campaign. The event included a conversation with Chelsea Clinton, and the option to pay $2,700 get to go to a “host reception” with Chelsea. The fundraiser took place at Theranos’ headquarters, with the cheapest option to attend (“student”) costing $100. Most paid $500 or $1,000.

For all the media coverage the implosion of Theranos is rightly attracting, none have mentioned her politics. Do you think that would be the same if she had raised money for Trump? Of course not.
Gee. What a surprise. Another Clinton supporter is a crook. I wonder how much $$$ ended up with the Clinton’s?
So, did she also receive a stain on her dress from Slick Willy?
I wonder what Former President Clinton was thinking while he was looking at the subject of this news item? Luckily he didn’t have a cigar in his hand.
Everybody associated with the Clinton’s are hardened criminals . The problem is Sessions has said he refuses to prosecute anybody that has served government so he’s A OK with mass corruption.
What??? I didn’t hear that!! I hope President Trump does fire that little tadpole.
WHEN IS OBAMA AND HILLERY GOING TO JAIL?
Oh, I am believing their lives will be carried on somewhat like the game Monopoly, only when they pass “Go” they will not go directly to Jail; their destination will be extremely warmer, don’t you think !
She better be careful around the Clinton’s or she’ll commit suicide by shooting herself three times in the back of the head, while being robbed with no witnesses.
Just read and watched Slick-Willies illigitimate Black son ( Williams) wants Slick to have a DNA test to prove that Bill Clinton is his father, and Chelsea is his sister. He does resemble Slick, kinda like Chelsea resembles Webb Hubble.
Ok, so now what??? Will she walk ? Will the Clintons walk ? Where the hell is the justice ?????
Any body get hurt ? Of course they did…What happened to the consequences???
Ou country is so corrupt it makes me sick.
While I was growing up I was led to believe that the Latin countries and most of Europe was very corrupt. Now, I’m grown and have learned that my country is the most corrupt of all. The FBI can no longer be trusted with our safety, or to uphold the law. They have now entered into the election process and are having influence on who is elected to the Presidency of the United States. Our congress is the most corrupt of any congress that has been seated in DC. Where do we go from here ? Trump is our salvation, let him do his job !!!
Ou country is so corrupt it makes me sick.
Everyone know about the Clinton/Obama crime syndicate but the media buries it, the useful idiots support them anyway, and nothing ever happens to the bad guys.
Just keeps getting better and better watching the left implode like this.
I’m sure her panties are hanging on his trophy rack or Hilleries trophy rack or BOTH their trophy racks…..
As always MEANS nothing and NOTHING will happen…..PERIOD…..
Just another Clintonesque Corrupt CROOK who gets a pass because Obama, the Clintons and the left-toon libtards who support these conniving VERMIN love her. They don’t care HOW she got the money, as long as donates a substantial portion of to their campaigns!
More proof that Democrats do love and support their Banditos.
I cannot wait till Donald Trump our President wins with a landslide in 2020.
The opposition-ers wake up every morning and search for anything .. any crumb to use to discredit the best president we have had since Reagan
And we may yet say even better!!!
I hope he sticks to his guns (no pun intenended) with all that he does. IT will only continue to gain him approval.
I am hoping for 4 or 5 more Conservative Supreme Court Justices and many, many more truly Conservative District, Circuit, and Appellate Judge appointments. That will make Trumps awesome legacy a living legacy.
STEP ONE MAKE LOBBY’S ILLEGAL. IF YOU ARE SEEN WITH A LOBBYIST BOTH GO TO JAIL.
Amen. !!!
Another Clinton’s success story!!!!
If our government doesn’t prosecute all these criminals, we have lost America. A very sad day. Why aren’t they arresting these people, including the Clintons? i don’t understand it.
Every member of Congress, who isn’t openly calling for the prosecution of all those involved in the illegal conspiracy to undermine Trump, both before and after the election, should be voted out of office.
Regardless of the party they are in!
So one grifter donated to another grifter? Birds of a feather…..
Isn’t Clinton the champion of women, teach them how to be crooks.
Typical Clinton-inspired crook, hope she goes to prison! Better yet, hope the Clintons go to prison, that would really make my day!
