State Department: No evidence Hillary Clinton influenced foundation donations while in office (BARF)
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/4/2015 | Kelly Cohen

Posted on 05/05/2015 4:53:01 AM PDT by markomalley

The State Department has not found any evidence that, while serving as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton took any actions influenced by donations to the Clinton Foundation.

"We are not aware of any evidence that actions taken by Secretary Clinton were influenced by donation to the Clinton Foundation or speech on honoraria of former President Clinton," State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said during a Monday press briefing.

The State Department's comments come on the eve of the official release of "Clinton Cash," a book about Clinton's tenure as secretary of state that alleges she used her power in office to provide favors to foreign governments who made donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Clinton, as well as her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have been on the defensive over the past few weeks, as major points about the book supporting these claims have already been leaked.

The Clinton Foundation still has documents to hand over, Rathke said, adding the State Department knows the foundation "did not meet some of the obligations to publish annually the names of new contributors" and "welcomes" the foundation's committeemen to turn them in.

"We are aware of no evidence that that there was undue influence," Rathke said.

Gee, I wonder if the "no evidence" is related to her scrubbed server?

...not found any evidence that, while serving as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton...

In related but unreported news, the Corleone family "...has not found any evidence that, while serving as the Capo de tutti Capi, Don Vito Corleone..." committed any crimes whatsoever.

That’s because they’re all BLIND; and besides, all the emails were shredded .. meaning there’s not a “shred” of evidence to be found.

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....jusr before Hillary took over the State Dept.

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?

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

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.

Of course there is no evidence.

Hillary destroyed most of it and the State Department is covering up and destroying the remainder.

No evidence on the Clintons yet?

Heck, Madoff got away with his scheme for some 25 years. When he finally went to jail, investigators found Bernie had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities.

Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that was structured to look like a system of checks and balances.

Although he was jailed for running a Ponzi, Madoff's main purpose was helping billionaire tax-exempt foundations launder money and evade taxes.

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

CLINTON CONNECTION TO SECRET SWISS BANK ACCOUNTS The Clinton foundations aaccepted a $25,000 donation from Jeffrey Epstein......Epstein wire-transferred Clinton's foundation $3.5 MILLION from a secret Swiss bank account.

FACTS ON FILE Bill Clinton and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein flew on Epstein’s private jet in 2002 to meet with the Sultan of Brunei.....one of the richest men in the world.

Hollywood hotshots recently protested the Sultan's ownership of the posh Beverly Hills Hotel and his embrace of Sharia law. The Sultan has announced he plans to execute homosexuals.

The National Enquirer reported flight logs reveal Epstein — before he was arrested and jailed for soliciting teenage masseuses — picked up Clinton at a Japanese naval airport. Also onboard “the orgy jet” — were two alleged ‘madames’ for Epstein’s kiddie sex ring.

The mega-rich Sultan later donated between $1-5 million to the Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas. I guess the potentate contributed to the Clintons b/c he's just a generous humanitarian----and really, really likes the Clintons. (/snix).

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

BTW, when they investigated pedophile Epstein, investigators stumbled pn a listing of 21 emails and tele nos for Clinton and his bagman, er I mean, his pal Doug Band.

L/E recognizes multiple emails and phone nos as the MO for money laundering and tax evasion. Were any of Clinton's phone nos answering services---fronts for the endless "Clinton charities?" ===============================================

Didn’t the Arkansas-era Clintons have an offshore bank account in the Cayman Islands when he was Gov....opened under the name Chelsea Jefferson?

The greatest evil the Clinton’s bring is corruption. They corrupt everything they touch.

To say there was no influence is laughable. They’ve destroyed tons of emails to cover it all up. They’ve never had an honest moment in their life.
