The Filthy Corrupt Clinton Foundation Thread

Color me not surprised.

The global charity is currently under investigation by the DOJ, FBI and IRS for a variety of allegations - including whether favors were handed out while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, also known as “pay for play.”

The Clinton-led State Department authorized $151 billion in Pentagon-brokered deals to 16 countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation - a 145% increase in completed sales to those nations ove teh same time frame during the Bush administration, according to IBTimes.

American defense contractors also donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton for speaking engagements. Such firms and their subsidiaries were listed as contractors in $163 billion worth of Pentagon-negotiated deals that were authorized by the Clinton State Department between 2009 and 2012. - IBTimes

Then there was that $1 million check Qatar reportedly gave Bill Clinton for his birthday in 2012, which the charity confirmed it accepted.

Coincidentally, we’re sure, Qatar was one of the countries which gained State Department clearance to buy US weapons while Clinton was Secretary of State, “even as the department signaled them out ofr a range of alleged ills,” according to IBTimes.

Then there was the surely unrelated $145 million donated to the Foundation from parties linked to the Uranium One deal prior to its approval through a rubber-stamp committee.

“The committee almost never met, and when it deliberated it was usually at a fairly low bureaucratic level,” Richard Perle said. Perle, who has worked for the Reagan, Clinton and both Bush administrations added, “ I think it’s a bit of a joke. ” – CBS

And so this is coming up, right before the new House shows up for duty:
House Republicans will hear testimony on December 5 from the prosecutor appointed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate allegations of wrongdoing by the Clinton Foundation, according to Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC).

“Mr. [John] Huber with the Department of Justice and the FBI has been having an investigation – at least part of his task was to look at the Clinton Foundation and what may or may not have happened as it relates to improper activity with that charitable foundation , so we’ve set a hearing date for December the 5th.,” Meadows told Hill.TV on Wednesday.

Meadows also told The Hill that the committee is "just now starting to work with a couple of whistleblowers that would indicate that there is a great probability, of significant improper activity that’s happening in and around the Clinton Foundation ."

One has to wonder why, if there was no pay-for-play, donations to this “highly rated” charity dried up 90% over a period in which the wealth gap continued to increase? (h/t @thebradfordfile)

easy:

A) Russia is interfering with the brave clitor foundation
B) racist far right xenophobes are getting in control of governments and they don’t care about the poor so they stopped sending donations

Nothing suspicious at all!

The foundation needs to be looked at real closely
Where the funds are going if any left the foundation

Looks like the foundation of the foundation is crooked

It’s a foundation for Clinton family enrichment and tax evasion they say or is it truly not that ?

Yay :banana:

Some of that evidence burst into public earlier this month when Durham divulged in his 306-page final report that the FBI had four ongoing investigations during the 2016 election into Bill and Hillary Clinton’s business and philanthropic activities. The probes involved the bureau’s Washington, New York and Little Rock, Ark., field offices.

Three of those probes were started during the 2016 election and were focused on allegations that the foundation was at the center of “criminal activity” that included “fraud and corruption allegations.”

One of those most serious allegations was that a corporate industry “likely engaged a federal public official in a flow of benefits scheme, namely, large monetary contributions were made to a non-profit, under both direct and indirect control of the federal public official, in exchange for favorable government action and/or influence,” Durham wrote.

“Beginning in late 2014, before Clinton formally declared her presidential candidacy, the FBI learned from a well-placed [source] that a foreign government was planning to send an individual to contribute to Clinton’s anticipated presidential campaign, as a way to gain influence with her should she win the presidency,” he also said.

All four of the probes were shut down as the 2016 presidential election was drawing to a close, and senior FBI and Justice Department officials were involved in the effort to slow or stop the probes, Durham wrote, based on evidence he collected from cooperating FBI agents.

Who do you think it was? The Dominicans? The Portuguese?

“Partners in Power” was my eye-opener. Never voted for a Clinton again.

Not that I had many chances to not vote for Clintons after it was published.

The Saudis. The Aramco folk loved the Clintons big time and the scum Yanks they hired and often championed were Clintonista fluffers and definitely “below stairs” class of people.
