WASHINGTON, (AP) --
Hillary Rodham Clinton, President-elect Barack Obama's choice for secretary of state, rejected calls Tuesday for more details about donors to her husband's foundation, saying she has revealed enough to avoid even the hint of conflicts. An Associated Press review found that Clinton stepped in at least a half-dozen times on issues involving businesses and others who later gave to the charity.
Clinton said as secretary of state she will not be influenced by her husband's contributors, which include foreign governments.
"It will not be in the atmosphere," Clinton said.

Yeah right! Sorry but IMHO the donations have to stop while she is SOS or els don’t take the job. I wondered who was paying for that manision they are building!
So glad she has such serious interrogators as Richard Lugar checking her out, and she’s giving such reassuring responses as “It won’t be in the atmosphere.” Oh, OK, since you say so...
pseudo, that is...

Didn’t they get millions from OPEC countries while voting to cripple our energy production, and we need to know more?
No republican could survive such facts and we’re looking for more. Oy
“Urged”?? How about subpoenaed?
I can’t remember, my brain’s in a blender, it’s jello (jello, jello, jello)
Clinton Donors Revealed.
The “free press” needs to pretend Clinton is a Republican - and do their job. If they don’t, they won’t have jobs soon. Propaganda’s fine - up to a point. Even dems are creeping out over the ‘teacher’s pet” routines...
The Idiot's Guide to Chinagate
By Richard Poe
May 26, 2003
CHINA WILL LIKELY replace the USA as world leader, said Bill Clinton in a recent Washington Post interview. It is just a matter of time. Clinton should know. He has personally done more to build China’s military strength than any man on earth.
Most Americans have heard of the so-called "Chinagate " scandal. Few understand its deadly import, however. Web sites such as "Chinagate for Dummies" and its companion "More Chinagate for Dummies" offer some assistance. Unfortunately, with a combined total of nearly 8,000 words, these two sites – like so many others of the genre – offer more detail than most of us "dummies" can absorb.
For that reason, in the 600 words left in this column, I will try to craft my own "Idiot’s Guide to Chinagate," dedicated to all those busy folks like you and me whose attention span tends to peter out after about 750 words. Here goes.
When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, China presented little threat to the United States. Chinese missiles "couldn’t hit the side of a barn," notes Timothy W. Maier of Insight magazine. Few could reach North America and those that made it would likely miss their targets.
Thanks to Bill Clinton, China can now hit any city in the USA, using state-of-the-art, solid-fueled missiles with dead-accurate, computerized guidance systems and multiple warheads.
China probably has suitcase nukes as well. These enable China to strike by proxy – equipping nuclear-armed terrorists to do their dirty work, while the Chinese play innocent. Some intelligence sources claim that China maintains secret stockpiles of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons on U.S. soil, for just such contingencies.
In 1997, Clinton allowed China to take over the Panama Canal. The Chinese company Hutchison Whampoa leased the ports of Cristobal and Balboa, on the east and west openings of the canal respectively, thus controlling access both ways. A public outcry stopped Clinton in 1998 from leasing California’s Long Beach Naval Yard to the Chinese firm COSCO. Even so, China can now strike U.S. targets easily from their bases in Panama, Vancouver and the Bahamas.
How did China catch up so fast? Easy. We sold them all the technology they needed – or handed it over for free. Neither neglect nor carelessness are to blame. Bill Clinton did it on purpose.
As a globalist, Clinton promotes "multipolarity" – the doctrine that no country (such as the USA) should be allowed to gain decisive advantage over others.
To this end, Clinton appointed anti-nuclear activist Hazel O’Leary to head the Department of Energy. O’Leary set to work "leveling the playing field," as she put it, by giving away our nuclear secrets. She declassified 11 million pages of data on U.S. nuclear weapons and loosened up security at weapons labs.
Federal investigators [Cox Report] later concluded that China made off with the "crown jewels" of our nuclear weapons research under Clinton’s open-door policy – probably including design specifications for suitcase nukes. Meanwhile, Clinton and his corporate cronies raked in millions.
In his book The China Threat, Washington Times correspondent Bill Gertz describes how the system worked. Defense contractors eager to sell technology to China poured millions of dollars into Clinton’s campaign. In return, Clinton called off the dogs.
Janet Reno and other counterintelligence officials stood down while Lockheed Martin, Hughes Electronics, Loral Space & Communications and other U.S. companies helped China modernize its nuclear strike force.
"We like your president. We want to see him reelected," former Chinese intelligence chief General Ji Shengde told Chinagate bagman Johnny Chung. Indeed, Chinese intelligence organized a massive covert operation aimed at tilting the 1996 election Clinton’s way.
Clinton’s top campaign contributors for 1992 were Chinese agents; his top donors in 1996 were U.S. defense contractors selling missile technology to China.
Clinton recieved funding directly from known or suspected Chinese intelligence agents, among them James and Mochtar Riady who own the Indonesian Lippo Group; John Huang; Charlie Trie; Ted Sioeng; Maria Hsia; Wang Jun and others.
Commerce Secretary Ron Brown served as Clinton’s front man in many Chinagate deals. When investigators began probing Brown’s Lippo Group and Chinagate connections, Brown died suddenly in a suspicious April 1996 plane crash.
Needless to say, China does not share Clinton’s enthusiasm for globalism or multipolarity. The Chinese look out for Number One.
"War [with the United States] is inevitable; we cannot avoid it," said Chinese Defense Minister General Chi Haotian in 2000. "The issue is that the Chinese armed forces must control the initiative in this war." Bill Clinton has given them a good start.

If you're going to collect a very generous Government Pension with all the perks and Secret Service protection due to your “service” -— you may NOT collect any funds for ANY purpose while in office or after leaving office from a foreign source or any individual or organization associated with a foreign source... Failure to comply - should result in the loss of ALL U.S. Government payments or benefits.
If they want to set up “Foundations” — they may serve as an UNPAID official with NO ACCESS to any contributions they may attract...
Any and ALL speaking fees — should be surrendered to the federal government to defray “expenses”...
After all — none of these bozos would be asked to speak or chair foundations if they hadn't been elected and paid by the taxpayers to do a job for THEM......
It's no secret that former Presidents Clinton and Carter have been BOUGHT like whores by the Chinese, Saudis and others....
It’s called “The Clinton Shuffle”. Watch her tap dance around and through the softball questions while republicans are awol...
Lately, Chelsea has been popping up like a turd in a bathtub at major political events in almost the same manner as Caroline Kennedy. Before anyone knows it, she'll be "installed" in a vacancy established especially for her.
I'm really, really beginning to find the whole Clinton family highly repulsive.
Reference bump! ;-)
Great, glad to appreciated it. Someone on another thread just remarked to me that "no one reads cut and paste". Have you ever heard anything so dumb?
