The Clinton Foundation said Thursday it received as much as $26.4 million in previously undisclosed payments from foreign sources, universities, large corporations, South Korea, Thailand, Nigeria; etcetera, et cetera and so forth.. This after “forgetting” to disclose 1,100 foreign donors.
This after the Clinton Foundation failed to report $$tens of millions in foreign donations on their taxes, forcing them to refile at least five years’ worth of returns. I’m sure the IRS is cool with that – after all – they don’t have “Tea Party”; “Conservative”; “Christian”; or “Palin” in the name of their organization – Friend me on Facebook – no one turned away.
Whenever reading about The Clinton’s and their propensity to operate outside of the law, then claim it was just an oversight when they’re caught; I always think of that great Steve Martin bit: “I forgot”..
Camera is on us… now smile Chelsea… that’s it.. Bill – you’re not trying!!
“I forgot taking millions from foriegn entities who have a stake in my negotiations as Secretary of State is illegal at worst and highly corrupt, unethical and treasonous at best…”
“I forgot I pledged to be transparent..”
“I forgot to report tens of millions of dollars on my tax returns…”
“I forgot I’m not supposed to destroy emails…”
… Well, EXCUUUUUSSSSSE ME!
Many of these “forgotten” – meaning “undisclosed” donations were related to the Russian government obtaining rights to US uranium interests. But no worries, the Foundation pocketed millions, as did a bunch of Clinton cronies..
However: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and The State Department signed off all of it, so it must be above board or ABC News would have gotten to the bottom of it already. Because they’re 100% not biased, **cough, **cough, former Clinton Chief of Staff, reporting for duty,*cough.. Regarding the latest $26.4 million in previously undisclosed payments from foreigners:
Here’s how the Washington Post gently breaks it to us:
The payments were disclosed late Thursday on the organization’s Web site, with speech payments listed in ranges rather than specific amounts. In total, the payments ranged between $12 million and $26.4 million.
The paid appearances included speeches by former president Bill Clinton to the Nigerian ThisDay newspaper group for at least $500,000 and to the Beijing Huaduo Enterprise Consulting Company Ltd., an investment holding company that specializes in the natural gas market, for at least $250,000. Citibank paid at least $250,000 for a speech by Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The disclosures underscore how much the Clintons have leveraged their star power to draw more money not just for their personal enrichment but also for the benefit of their philanthropic work.
The foundation, which has raised $2 billion since Bill Clinton left the White House, has emerged as a political headache for Hillary Clinton amid recent controversies over donations. The foundation, along with the Clintons’ paid speaking careers, have provided additional avenues for foreign governments and other interests to gain entrée to one of America’s most prominent political families. Some Republicans have charged that Hillary Clinton, during her tenure as secretary of state, was in a position to reward foundation donors.
Wow – the Washington Post are real bulldogs over there! That’s right – “Some Republicans” made the charges precisely because mainstream media outlets like WaPo wouldn’t want to be asking those questions or making those charges themselves. Must be “Some Republicans;” **cough, cough, TeamHillary, **cough..
This all comes on the heels of The
Clinton
Whore Family Foundation confessing it made “mistakes” in its financial reports on the donations made by foreign governments while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. Foreign countries who could use a friend in the State Department, by the way.
Those donors and donations include contributions of between $10 million and $25 million from Saudi Arabia, Norway, Australia and the Dominican Republic. Kuwait, Ireland and the Netherlands have contributed between $5 million and $10 million, while Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have each given between $1 million and $5 million.
Don’t worry, the Clinton shakedown was in full-force right here in 1% land:
Nineteen of the 30 companies that comprise the Dow Jones Industrial Average stock index made donations, most totaling more than $500,000. They include Wal-Mart, the nation’s top retailer, Exxon, the biggest oil company, and JPMorgan Chase, the largest U.S. bank.
But wait – there’s much, much more from Whore Island:
Here’s just a short list:
The U.S. Islamic World Forum also provided $250,000 to $500,000 to the foundation for a speech by Bill Clinton, according to the new disclosure. The event was organized in part by the Brookings Institution with support from the government of Qatar.
They included the South Korean energy and chemicals conglomerate Hanwha, which paid $500,000 to $1,000,000 for a speech by Bill Clinton.
China Real Estate Development Corp. paid the foundation between $250,000 and $500,000 for a speech by the former president. The Qatar First Investment Bank, now known as the Qatar First Bank, paid fees in a similar range. The bank is described by Persian Gulf financial press as specializing in high-net-worth clients.
The Telmex Foundation, founded by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, provided between $250,000 and $500,000 for a speech by Hillary Clinton.
The energy ministry in Thailand provided speaking fees, of $250,000 to $500,000 for a speech by Bill Clinton.
Hillary Clinton has delivered 15 such speeches, including one address to Goldman Sachs and another to JPMorgan Chase.
AND:
Chelsea, who has taken an increasingly active role, has collected fees for the
charity
foundation
Whorehouse from 9 organizations.
You know, because Chelsea Clinton is so scary fascinating. I’m sure that speech was rivoting, inciteful and the payment had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she’s a member of the Whore Family from Whore Island.
What a scam they have going, huh?
Whore Island goes to Nigeria… Sadly, Bill thought the guy with the mic was Jay-Z and Chelsea didn’t want to embarrass dad – because God knows Bill Clinton has never embarrassed her.
Oh yeah, the Better Business Bureau reviewed the Clinton Foundation in 2012 and found that it failed to meet the standards of an accountable charity on six counts, mostly due to lack of financial disclosure.
Heading up the Clinton Foundation’s largest project is none other than our old friend, Ira C. Magaziner. You remember the 90’s, right? Ira ran Ms. Clinton’s failed shot at a health care overhaul (the ‘HillaryCare’ fiasco), which was The First Lady’s botched attempt at fooling the public into thinking socialized medicine was a good thing.
The doomed plan’s signature component was universal coverage. An individual mandate required all eligible U.S. citizens to purchase health care, while an employer mandate compelled all businesses, of all sizes, to provide insurance for their workers. Story continues below:
For More on “Whore Island”: LIKE “I Have the Truth” on Facebook – if you dare. No one turned away..
The 1993 proposed; “Health Security Act” (sounds wonderful!) abandoned any attempt at a Canadian-style single-payer system, but just about everybody labeled the regulation-filled bill as socialist. ‘HillaryCare’ had tons of new crimes built into the legislation, like for instance paying cash to see a doctor of your choice with no oversight would be illegal and subject to fines and penalties.
Your kid breaks his arm and you live next door to a doctor? Keep away – that’s a crime. Must. Use. Government.
Rather than explaining the immensely complicated, 1,342-page bill to a cautious and confused public, Ira Magaziner and the Clintons relied on squishy, campaign-style rhetoric to sell their plan.
The insurance industry shot back with the infamous “Harry and Louise,” ads that countered HillaryCare as an attack on individual choice: They were incredibly effective.
Obama didn’t make that mistake, did he? Make sure the Insurance Companies help write ObamaCare and hire professional Whore Jonathan Gruber to “sell” it and BLAM! You got yourself the scam of the century!
And of course, as with all Clinton agendas, there was the usual secrecy – duh. The Whore Family did everything behind closed-doors and even hid the names of aides who contributed to Hillary’s anonymous task force. They violated the Sunshine Act, but when have The Whores ever worried themselves about the law?
So now, Ira Magaziner is back with The Clinton Foundation as CEO of the Clinton Health Access Initiative. Bill Clinton credits him with being the brains behind the whole
Clinton
Foundation
Operation Whore-out the Presidency. His Lois Lerner moment was when Magaziner told The Atlantic in 2007: “This is not charity. The whole thing is bankable. It’s a commercial proposition.”
Ouch mommy!
Sounds about right… The Federalist summed it up nicely: “If Bill Clinton trusted him to accurately characterize the foundation’s activities, shouldn’t we?”
The NY Times doesn’t have to much nice to say about Mr. Magaziner either:
“Mr. Magaziner is widely seen within the foundation as impulsive and lacking organizational skills. On one occasion, Mr. Magaziner dispatched a team of employees to fly around the world for months gathering ideas for a climate change proposal that never got off the ground.
Another time, he ignored a report — which was commissioned at significant expense from the consulting firm McKinsey & Company — on how the foundation could get involved in forestry initiatives.
Mr. Magaziner’s management style and difficulty keeping projects within budget were also raised in discussions that surrounded the 2011 Simpson Thacher review. (One person who attended a meeting with Mr. Magaziner recalled his lying on a conference room table in the middle of the meeting, snapping at a staff member..”
But listen, don’t worry, former Clintonista George Stephanopoulos is on the case: In an interview on ABC, George had the audacity to grill Peter Schweizer, the author of “Clinton Cash,” a book revealing how the Clintons engaged in influence peddling for cash donations.
And all the while, Stephanopoulos was secretly giving perhaps hundreds of thousands of $dollars to The Clinton Foundation… I forgot that giving cash to people I’m supposed to be covering as a journalist was unethical – excuuuuse me.
When Stephanopolus was outed as a corrupt, biased and phony “journalist,” the former Chief of Staff to Bill Clinton says he only gave $25K “to fight AIDS” and help puppies or some crap. However, The Foundation says he gave between $50K and $100K.
Who’s their accountant, Willie Nelson? But are you surprised? Nothing will happen to him, trust me.
I’m still cute. There’s no media bias. I wear wide lavender ties.
Stephanopolus’ questions to Schweizer implied Peter’s book was invalid, dishonest and merely a hit piece on the Foundation and the Whore Family. Here’s a few exerpts from “Clinton Cash”:
“… the Clintons put big donors and close pals on the board for reasons that are hard to fathom. In fact, at least four of these “board members” have either been charged or convicted of serious financial irregularities, crimes including bribery and fraud.
The most well-known of these board members is Vinod Gupta.
“Vinod Gupta, the founder and chairman of the database firm InfoUSA, was a major Clinton financial supporter who served as a foundation trustee.
In 2008 Gupta was charged with fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for using company funds to support his luxurious lifestyle. He was alleged to have used more than $9.5 million in corporate funds to pay for personal jet travel, millions for his yacht, personal credit card expenses, and the cost of twenty cars. He settled with the SEC for $4 million.
Gupta also paid Bill Clinton a $3 million “consulting fee,” an act of misuse of corporate funds that brought shareholders to file a suit against him. The company eventually settled with shareholders to the tune of $13 million…”
ABC has not fired Stephanopoulos. And they won’t. ‘Cause he’s cute! Not to mention valuable to their candidate:
But to punish himself, in light of the revelations of corruption, Stephanopolus says he now will not moderate the 2016 GOP Presidential debates! .. No one asked him to, but ABC luckily has found a replacement: It’s Brian Williams, who of course, moderated the Lincoln/Douglass debates earlier in his career. Who could be more of a shill than Candy Crowley – who just happened to have a transcript handy when President Obama called for it in the second debate with Mitt Romney?
Has that ever been investigated by ABC? How would Barack know that Candy had that transcript? “Candy, get the transcript” Obama said at the appointed moment – but how did he know she had it with her? Odd, unless you’re not brain-damaged or a liberal. But I repeat myself..
Oh – and Hot Air reports on how discerning the Whore Family is on who they do business with:
“Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation’s Global Initiative are being hosted this week at a five-star luxury hotel in Morocco by one of the world’s most controversial mining companies, criticized for “serious human rights violations” by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice.
The Moroccan government-owned mining company OCP operates in disputed international territory in a remote part of the Saharan Desert and the firm has been criticized for removing the resources without adequately compensating the impoverished people who live there.
‘Any time the human rights of a population are systematically suppressed in this type of way it’s a serious concern, and I think it’s worthy of attention,’ said David McKean, who has studied the issue for the RFK center.”
OCP gave $1 million to the event and Bill Clinton “complimented” them by saying OCP is “the Saudi Arabia of Phosphate.” Whatever that means. If anyone asks, I’m “the California of Boron” from here on out. Who’s down with OCP?
To most folks, Saudi Arabia is better known for oil cartels, paying protection / extortion $$ to the Wasabi and funding terrorism.
Of course, this is when they’re not throwing LGBTs off a roof, beheading homosexual men and throwing rocks at women until they’re dead, for crimes like getting raped, showing their face, or whatevs, right Saudi Arabia?
Thank Allah these women weren’t caught driving – who knows what would be in store for them.
Brietbart reports that as of 2008, the Clinton Foundation raised at least $46 million from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Brunei, Oman, and other foreign governments – the very governments Secretary of State Hillary Clinton eventually negotiated with and whored out the State Department to.
The BL here is that The Whore Island Foundation is not a charity, it’s a slush fund. Duh. Anybody who believes otherwise isn’t paying attention or just wants more free stuff from the taxpayers. It’s not hard out there for a pimp anymore.
The Clinton Foundation is so not an actual charity that even charity watchdog group Charity Navigator refuses to rate the Clinton Foundation because of its “atypical business model.” For example, in 2013 – the ‘charity’ collected $140,000,000 in grants and donations, but only spent $9 million on actual charity.
Have you ever seen that reported before? That in itself is a scam too. ABC must have ‘forgot’.
Chelsea pretending she can’t hear what her parent’s are saying to each other. Awkward.
What has gone on since then, we don’t know and we’ll never know because the media has a time-share on Whore Island. They are all Stephanopolus – just not so stupid. What an idiot, leaving a money trail in a blatant conflict of interest. How could someone so cute be so incredibly dumb?
Stephanopolus was once a top-aide to Bill Clinton back when Bill left Whore Island to open up a branch in the Oval Office. He even had a whore intern. Nice. That doesn’t matter to ABC for some reason. Oh yeah, they have a Whore Island Bureau. Forgot.
But Hillary just keeps going – running for President. She’s not just the front-runner, she’s been crowned the nominee already. It’s her turn. After all, didn’t she allow her only daughter to be humiliated in public by a horny redneck so she could continue her political aspirations? High price for Chelsea, another brick in the wall for Hillary.
Just how many more of these sleazy deals are there?
We’ll never know because the mainstream media are all a bunch of left-wing apologists and lover of the Whore Family.
They all have degrees in Journalism from Whore State University. Also on Whore Island.
In a related story, Hillary Clinton is now accepting PayPal…
Friend me on Facebook – if you dare. No one turned away.
Flashback: Hillary Clinton Under Sniper Fire In Bosnia!
She cackles when she lies. That’s her tell.
If you were appalled how the mainstream media was in the tank for Obama – kick back and watch what they do for the old Cankles McPantsuit they threw under the bus in 2008. By the way, you heard it here first: Bill Clinton will not be “First Gentleman” or any such “co-president” to Hillary, should she win the title. What? That’s right:
Julian Castro will be Hillary’s VP and Chelsea will be elevated to First Lady under a HRC presidency and after 8 years, Chelsea will be named Julian Castro’s VP. That’s the deal, baby. crazy? Nope. Bank that one.
