Bill Clinton’s foundation cashed in as Sweden lobbied Hillary on sanctions
Washington Times ^ | 6/2/2015 | John Solomon and Kelly Riddell

Posted on 06/02/2015 5:21:56 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

Bill Clinton’s foundation set up a fundraising arm in Sweden that collected $26 million in donations at the same time that country was lobbying Hillary Rodham Clinton’s State Department to forgo sanctions that threatened its thriving business with Iran, according to interviews and documents obtained by The Washington Times.

The Swedish entity, called the William J. Clinton Foundation Insamlingsstiftelse, was never disclosed to or cleared by State Department ethics officials, even though one of its largest sources of donations was a Swedish government-sanctioned lottery.

As the money flowed to the foundation from Sweden, Mrs. Clinton’s team in Washington declined to blacklist any Swedish firms despite warnings from career officials at the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm that Sweden was growing its economic ties with Iran and potentially undercutting Western efforts to end Tehran’s rogue nuclear program, diplomatic cables show.

But, you see, they were broke and had to do something to put food on the table. Show some compassion.

It must be pretty cool to have whole countries bribe you for stuff.

WHY aren’t they being indicted? Why? Why? Why? This is insane, this is as corrupt as it gets. Just as an example, all the time we read about small town politicians getting busted for just taking small bribes for construction contracts or how about that guy Rod Blagojevich taking money for Obummers Senate seat, FOURTEEN YEARS he got. HOW the hell is this any different? And this is foreign affairs for crying out loud!! Where the hell is the Republican party? This is outrageous as hell!

As I have said before, the “charity” set up by the Clintons is nothing but a money laundering scheme.

Slick Willy already addressed this. He said “there was nothing sinister in it.” That’s good enough for the FBI, the Senate, the House, the Department of State, etc., etc., so it’s got to be good enough for us.

I have a question.

Did Hillary Clinton make any decisions that were detrimental to a Clinton Foundation donor?

Just one.

Running for President? She should be indicted, convicted and jailed.

Hillary made the State Department part of her private foundation. She put a "For Sale" sign on the front door. The proceeds went right into the "foundation."

I bet Obama and Michelle are getting a cut somehow.

It seems we are being methodically betrayed by our own government at every level.

Judge Napolitano spoke about this very same thing and he indicated it may just take one person or organization to file against them to start a snowball effect.

One could only hope.

How can anybody vote for her? Simple. They decide she is going to be their best bet to get other people’s money. What difference do all the scandals and crime make when she’s paying them off.

Teenagers go to jail for lifting candy bars.

These two are running a global extortion racket and we get excuses from their former underlings in the government.

That’s what it is, and nobody does anything about it because they’re probably cashing in as well, the country is being sold out. This is Clinton taking money so terror sponsoring country can have sanctions lifted, a country that is responsible for killing Americans, and it makes me wonder now if this bitch Hillary took money from Al-Qaeda to look the other way while these butchers killed 4 Americans including a US Ambassador. That has to be the case, because how could she not know? She’s was the freakin’ secretary of state, and this RINO party goes through these motions for years basically telling the American people ‘Yeah yeah were getting on it’ meanwhile year after year passes and absolutely nothing is done. We are run by a government of traitors, it’s unreal. What are they trying to do, start a rebellion?

“Why aren’t they indicted? “

TIMING. If arrested and convicted while O IS STILL in office he will just pardon them

It must be done before the statute of limitation and in the time period that will not allow O to do them any favors

In the mean time as much as possible MUST be made public knowledge

Its not like they tried to take multiple withdrawls of under 10k or they would be up the creek without a paddle.
