Foundation adviser’s double-duty: counseling Hillary on Benghazi (Secy getting her hair done?)
NY POST.COM ^ | 5/29/15 | Geoff Earle

Posted on 05/29/2015 6:22:46 AM PDT by Liz

Clinton factotum, Sidney Blumenthal was pocketing $10,000 monthly from the Clinton Foundation while penning e-mails about Benghazi to Secy of State Hillary. After she lost in 2008, Obama banned Blumenthal from govt employment. Once on the foundation’s payroll...insiders grumbled that Blumenthal got the job as a favor. At the same time Blumenthal was prepping Hillary, he was also a paid consultant to Democrat-front groups---American Bridge and Media Matters -- connected to Clinton ally David Brock.

Blumenthal’s numerous dispatches figure prominently in the State Dept’s release of e-mails WRT the deadly Benghazi terror attack. Clinton forwarded many of Blumenthal's emails to State Dept colleagues. The NYT reported Blumenthal also advised two companies seeking business deals in post-Khadafy Libya. Blumenthal has been subpoenaed to appear next week before a House panel on Benghazi.

Getting her hair done? She let it go long and stringy, wore pony tails, and looked like an old street woman, at least from the neck up (neck down was not great either), the whole time she was SOS. Her appearance had changed dramatically from the perfectly coiffed hair and airbrushed makeup during her campaigning days. My personal opinion was that it was all part of the plan to make her look like she was wearing herself out trotting around the country and working SO hard as SOS for The Won. Like everything the Clintons do, it was all a smokescreen for something else.

It’s simple, Sid and Hillary belong in jail, as he was/is an unregistered foreign agent.

>http://www.fara.gov/<

FARA is a disclosure statute that requires persons acting as agents of foreign principals in a political or quasi-political capacity to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities.

The NYT reports extensively on Blumenthal's secret emails to Hillary (emails she did not want revealed):

<><> Blumenthal was on the payroll of the Clinton Foundation,

<><> at the same time Blumenthal was being paid by political groups aiding 2016 Clinton,

<><> at the same time he was a paid advisor to businesses seeking Libyan contracts,

<><> at the same time he was secretly advising Secy of State Clinton about Libya.

It’s pretty apparent that Hillary, not trusting the WH, and being generally paranoid and corrupt, set up her own private State Dept outside the US gov’t, with Sid Vicious (banned from US gov’t employ) as her chief of staff.

Looking at the pages upon pages of the Clinton Foundation donor list---it appears the Clintons used the Foundation as a credentialing apparatus---the Clintons caught on early that people would give big bucks to get on their list.

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

At the end of his book, "Clinton Cash," Schweizer writes: "The Clintons are perhaps the most politically sophisticated public figures of their generation. They have numerous avenues for making money. They know how things work in the corridors of power and around the world; they know that foreign governments are trying to influence American foreign policy; and they know that bribery is rampant around the world. Some avenues might not be as lucrative as getting a $700,000 honorarium for a speech in Nigeria, but they would be much cleaner." (p. 183)

Yes, she did....but it's inconceivable that Obama did not know this.

<><> He did not know that Hillary signed off on Bill's lucrative deals w/ foreign govts?

<><> Obama did not know that the two were jerking around major areas of US foreign policy?

<><> Obama knew zilch about all of it?

Oh, please...gimme a frickin' break. Anybody believes that, I gotta bridge I can sell 'em....real cheap...in Brooklyn.

I agree. What's fascinating about all this is watching how the media report the myriad Clinton scandals, when they bother to report them at all. They treat Hillary as some sort of vacuum sealed entity, separate and apart from the Obama administration.

Instead of simply glossing over the Obama administration's roles and responsibilities, as they usually do, the media has gone full-on Emperor's New Clothes. They simply act as if the State Department is not and never has been part of the Executive Branch.

The question is what was Obama's cut of the Clintons' arms deal, uranium mines, gold mines, etc etc etc....that they funneled into Obama's two foundations.

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

THE OBAMAS GET READY FOR THE BIG PAYDAY ALA CLINTON. The buck-raking Clinton Foundation was planned long before the two grifters ever moved to the WH. They knew the possibilities and sold access every chance they could. Looks like Obama has been taking notes.

Obama isn't even out of office yet---and already has two foundations (that we know of).

(1) "The Obama Foundation" announced the location of its library in Chicago.....revving up the next ex-president's money machine.

(2) The second Obama foundation----The Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF)---(named after their dad), was fast-tracked by Lois Lerner for IRS tax-exempt status....for Malik Obama, Barack's half brother.

The BHOF is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. The organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based.

As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the self-same IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status. The IRS thoughtfully gave Obama Foundation retroactive fund-raising status.......which it stupidly never applied for.

The tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the half-brother of Barack Obama.

The foundation’s mission statement is “to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.” Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.

Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee, allegedly a registered Republican, who helped start the Barack H Obama foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of a reporter’s passport and govt ID, along with a description of the article’s “motivation” and “slant.”

Repeated reporters' phone calls went to the organization’s voicemail and were not returned.

Malik spends most of his time in Kenya with his 12 wives while Obama finances his half brother, Malik, a major fundraiser for the Muslim Bortherhood.

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

GOVERNMENT FRAUD AT ITS FINEST--in numbered offshore bank accounts?

Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:

<><> $2 billion funding to Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich African countries.

And what percentage of these billions are set aside for the Obama Foundation?
