Bill Clinton says nothing 'sinister' in foreign donations to foundation
Reuters ^ | 5/4 | Steve Holland

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton defended his charitable foundation's acceptance of large foreign donations on Monday, thrusting himself into a controversy that is weighing on the presidential candidacy of his wife, Hillary Clinton.

"I don't think there's anything sinister in trying to get wealthy people in countries that are seriously involved in development to spend their money wisely in a way that helps poor people and lifts them up," Clinton told NBC News from Kenya, in an interview taped over the weekend.

So now the word “sinister” will be connected to this scandal. I still think on some level Bill wants to derail Hillary, so she doesn’t overshadow him.

Of course he did have sex with Monica!/s

btw, any vote for Hitlery is a vote for Bill

& this little scheme of Hitlery in running for

Prez is simply a de-facto vote for Bill in running

this country- ya’ read me? NO ONE has brought this

up at all even on talk radio.

So if Hitlery is elected then she sends BillyBoy off to

Japan or to OH MY F*ckistan?

“trying to get wealthy people ... to spend their money wisely in a way that helps poor people”

Right, Bill, “poor people” like you and Shillary, who were “dead broke.” And now you’re worth over $100 million. It looks like your crime syndicate foundation has been a big success.

so bill bj clintoon would like YOU to believe that he and hillary, two crooks, are better able to spend money than the intelligent people who earned it inthe first place. So they willingly filter 90% to the clintoons and 10% to charity as opposed to 100% DIRECTLY to charity....
aLL THEY ARE DOING IS BUYING TWO high priced political WHORES...
YE BILL THERE IS A LOT SINISTER GOING ON.... when you and the hag sell out to foreign powers...
OH AND BILL WE DO REMEMBER THE SELL OUT TO CHINA ON NUKE SUBMARINE PROPELLER TECHNOLOGY AND THE SPACE SELLOUT WITH LORAL.... YES BILL YOU ARE A SCUMBAG.... and we do remember the 8 times you balked at taking out Bin Laden prior to 9/11.... Sinister is too nice a word for YOU AND THE HAG....pure EVIL is more like it...

"I don't think there's anything sinister...

"I did NOT have sinister relations with *that* country, any of them, not a single time... Never. Now, it's time for me to go back to the business of more relations with these countries, that the cronies have me do."

It is my personal belief that Intel gave the Clinton Foundation $2M so the State Dept would give the OK to Intel for contracts at DHS.

My information is circumstantial but mostly public knowledge. 1) Back in 2009, Intel started looking for State Dept employees to hire as advisers. 2) In 2009, Intel spent millions on a solar array in Oregon to help promote Green Energy in a State which gets little sunshine. 3) In 2010, a secret project starts up at Intel reporting to the US Gov and is NOT reported to Stockholders. It remains secret to this day.

Never mind that they likely would have said not much different about the Loral deal towards China. In addition, the Clinton family reputation would suggest that this deal is just as harmful as all the ones they stated as "harmless".

5/3/15--WASHINGTON POST: Wealthy Canadian helps fund the Clinton Foundation

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of
the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. Giustra's
contributions go both directly to the foundation, and,
to a Canadian charity, which in turn sends money to the
Clinton Foundation.

The NY Times reported that the "Canadian charity" registered as the "Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership"---- collected about $33 million US tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept between 2008 and 2013.....$25 million of which was passed back across the border to the US based Clinton Foundation.

==================================================

My, my, my. The "Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership" looks an awful lot like a money laundering operation---w/ tax dollars flowing from the State Dept----then laundered across the border to secret LLC accounts?

The Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership" was registered as a "Canadian charity" in late 2007.

=======================================

NOTE: One of the most common money-laundering MO's is one foundation writing a check to another foundation---the check receiver takes a cut then transfers the bulk elsewhere for the donor's use later---how they skim off tax-free money for themselves...or maybe for campaign expenses?

Yes... “to spend their money wisely” so that 15% ends up going to the charitable effort and the balance remains a slush fund, compensation and overhead benefiting the Clinton campaign staff and “executives” (including Bill, Hill and Chelsea!). That’s very thoughtful of these foreign donors and a great excuse for violating the law by not revealing their names and donation amounts over the past 4 years.

Imagine another 4-8 years of these people in charge!
