State Department ignores lawsuit over records linking Boko Haram and Clinton Foundation
Washington Examiner ^ | June 8, 2015 | Sarah Westwood

Posted on 06/09/2015 7:13:33 AM PDT by Zakeet

A conservative group is suing the State Department in an effort to find out whether the agency's refusal to place Boko Haram on the terrorist watch list while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state had anything to do with the fact that a high-level Nigerian official was a major Clinton Foundation donor and close friend of the former president.

Citizens United, a conservative nonprofit, brought the case to court after the State Department ignored its request for records about the Chagoury Group, a sprawling Nigerian company headed by a Clinton friend and financial supporter of Clinton causes, Gilbert Chagoury.

Chagoury donated between $1 million and 5 million to the Clinton Foundation, donor records show.

More than 30 days have passed since Citizens United first filed the lawsuit without a response of any kind from the State Department.

I’m waiting for Bill and Hillary to blame all this mess on Chelsea and then throw her under the bus.

This doesn't come close to passing the smell test after all of the other "coincidences" that have come to light. I was thinking... a couple of generations ago, US citizens knew there had been corruption in our country at times, but that it was nothing like that in countless foreign countries. I think now that the situation has changed... we're right up there with the worst of them. We might be even worse in the area of international policy corruption. Most countries appear to act in their self interest internationally--we don't; our policy decisions seem increasingly to be for sale.

The muck surfacing from the greedy conniving Clintons is bad enough---its what they're hiding that's the bigger problem.

ITEM--The grossly rich Clinton Foundation apparently sucked-up some $16 million undisclosed tax dollars (that we know of).

ITEM--The NY Times reported the offshore money-raking---"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.

ITEM---millions of dollars and 1,100 donors are shrouded in mystery in Canada. The Clinton Foundation signed a “memorandum of understanding” with the Obama White House agreeing to reveal its contributors every year. The agreement stipulates that the “Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative” (as the charity was then-known) is part of the Clinton Foundation and must follow “the same protocols.”

SURPRISE: It hasn’t.

Cught w/ his pants down. Giustra's now backtracking like crazy---saying Canada’s federal privacy law "forbids" the Canadian-registered Clinton charity, from revealing its donors. A memo he provided news organs cites “fiduciary obligations” to its contributors and Canada’s Personal Information Privacy and Electronic Disclosure Act. “We are not allowed to disclose even to the Clinton Foundation the names of our donors,” Giustra says.

However, Canadian tax and privacy law experts were dubious of the Clinton/Giustra claims. A former director knowledgeable about tax policy at Canada's Department of Finance, said he wasn't aware of any tax laws that would prevent the Clinton charity from releasing its donors' names. "There's nothing that would preclude them from releasing donors' names. It's entirely up to them."

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

As usual w/ the Clintons---"it's nobody's business but ours."

The Clintons leave the WH arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied.
There's no business like Clinton business. They smile when they are low.

Did Hillary's US State Dept's refusal to place child kidnappers, Boko Haram, on the US terrorist watch list have anything to do with $1-5 million Clinton Foundation donations by a high-level Nigerian official who is a close friend of Bill Clinton?

Are you kidding? As Secy of State, Hillaey never e-v-e-r utterd a discouraging word about any country---as long as they knelt in obeisance and handed over big bucks to the Clinton Foundation.

According to an IBT report, “at least seven foreign governments received State Dept clearance for American arms AND are on-record as donors to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary was Secy of State.” Oman and Qatar were named as countries favored for arms sales by Hillary's State Dept.

CIRCA 2002--THE OMAN-QATAR-CLINTON CONNECTION---
The Clinton Foundation took $1,250,000 (that we know of)
from Mideast kingdom--Qatar---(recently exposed as embroiled in the recent FIFA bribery).

The Clinton presidential library in Arkansas lists Brunei, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar as donors that gave between $1 million and $5 million (at the time of research).

The Clinton foundation itself confirmed the 2002 Brunei donation: "The Clinton Foundation's impact would not be possible without the generous support of our donors," the foundation's website reads. "Their contributions have made a difference in the lives of tens of millions across the world." Read more at foxnews.com ...

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

Qatar became the new home of the Gitmo Five via the infamous Bergdahl swap.

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

"Forgetful" Hillary later told Fox's Greta Van Susteren that Qatar was "not a threat to the US." Hillary never mentioned Qatar subsidizing the Clinton Library/Foundation.

Hillary's remarks lead some to believe the donation was a payoff....Hillary bribed to defend Qatar....blatantly ignoring America's ntl security interests.

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

The Clinton Library bills itself as "linking the significance of
a 20th century American presidency with the ongoing
and far-reaching work of The Clinton Global Foundation."

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

No mention of Clinton being impeached and disbarred for lying.

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

REALITY CHECK Despite its grandiose self-promotion, The William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park---- is just another "Clinton Cash" snake pit.....subsidized by taxpayers,....and some shady foreign characters.

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

REMEMBER THIS? As Hollywood hotshots protested the Beverly Hills Hotel over its ownership by Brunei's sultan and his embrace of Sharia law, it turns out the Brunei government has financial connections to the Clintons.

AND THIS 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. 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. The mega-rich Sultan later donated between $1-5 million to the Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas.

Nothing short of a signed confession made in public will ever slow these crooks down and that includes the GOPe as well.

Boko Haram is the vilest of evil groups. They need to be placed on the fast track to H*ll. They are monsters. Just like their cohorts ISIS.

As to Hillary, she doesn’t seem smart to me. Crafty and sneaky maybe. To the degree that plotting vicious revenge takes smarts then I guess she is smart. Other than that I find her thinking more bizarre than smart.
