Oops! Bill Clinton Says He ACCIDENTALLY Took $500,000 From Algeria During Key Arms...(flashback)

"Oops! Bill Clinton Says He ACCIDENTALLY Took $500,000 From Algeria During Key Arms Negotiation With State Department" Oops!

Bill Clinton is claiming his foundation “accidentally” accepted money from foreign governments who were negotiating with his wife while she was Secretary of State – a definite no-no.

The Clinton Foundation received $500,000 from Algeria in 2010 while the country was lobbying the State Department for an increase in weapons export authorization.

The International Business Times says that “some of those export authorizations were for weapons classified as “toxicological agents, including chemical agents [and] biological agents.”  “[Critics] said, ‘Oh you got $500,000 from Algeria at very same time they were lobbying the State Department,’” Clinton said. “Those two facts are accurate but if you put them back-to-back they are incredibly misleading. Here’s why: I never considered that the Algerians gave me the money.”

It depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

We know, Bill!

That's how money laundering works.

A $hit storm is coming down. Typical of someone guilty as sin, they try to get ahead of it by getting there warped version of events out first.

Now someone needs to find whom gave the Rapist in Chief the heads up.

Could happen to anyone.

The Clintons are despicable. Below contempt.

The Constitutional violation was Mrs. Clinton’s this time.
She broke the emoluments clause.
Bill did that for Chinese campaignncash back in the 1990’s.
Enabled the Chinese to launch sattelites and missiles and target them more accurately.

Treason, but none dare call it that.

I guess forgetful Bill forgot about this, too.

Clinton Foundation Donor to Pay $95.5 Million Settlement to Justice Department
(out of a total $11 billion tax dollars The Education Management Corporation received)

Free Beacon | 11/16/15 | Brent Scher / FR Posted / by Libloather

A for-profit educational corporation that has donated to the Clinton Foundation agreed to pay $95.5 million to the Obama administration as a settlement for a government lawsuit alleging that it was using illegal tactics to lure in prospective students.

The Education Management Corporation was sued by the Department of Justice in 2011 for multiple recruitment violations, including paying its recruiters based on the number of students it enrolled, and exaggerating the career opportunities that were available to graduates. The lawsuit argued that the violations made the corporation ineligible for the $11 billion in state and federal financial aid it has received since 2003.

On top of the $95.5 million settlement, the group also agreed to forgive more than $100 million in loans it made to former students, according to the Associated Press. (Excerpt) Read more at freebeacon.com ...

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

MORE CLINTON DIRT--Laureate Education is a for-profit education firm; ex-Pres Clinton is a paid honorary chancellor.

This organization has some unusual practices.

For instance, its students serve as telemarketers who pitch the school to prospective new students. It operates in at least three countries (Turkey, Mexico and Chile) where for-profit universities are illegal, author Schweizer notes.

Douglas Becker (a FOB), runs the for-profit university, which engages Bill Clinton to give speeches several times a year. Based on Clintons gargantuan fee scale, that works out to Pres Bill getting perhaps $1 million a year from Laureate, Clinton Cash author Schweizer estimates.

(NOTE On falsified disclosure forms, Pres Bill revealed only that he has been paid more than $1,000 by Laureate.)

Becker also runs a related nonprofit, International Youth Foundation, which coincidentally found its federal grant money has exploded (according to author Schweizer) since Hillary became secretary of state (in 2009) and Bill became honorary chancellor of Becker/s profit-seeking company.

Many of International Youth Foundation grants came from tax dollars---from a State Dept agency---USAID.

Then SoS Hillary took official control of USAID, a move that dramatically reduced its independence, Clinton Cash author Schweizer says. 3/6

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

Bill Clinton and mining mogul, Frank Giustra, made a big show
of The Clinton Foundation's do-goodism in earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

REALITY CHECK Then-Secy Hillary supposedly gave Haiti $3.1 billion tax dollars for Earthquake Relief.

But Haitian-American protesters claim that American aid to Haiti was a cover-for foreign governments to funnel kickbacks of hundreds of millions of dollars to The Clinton Foundation.

For example, gold mining expert Giustra "gave" the Foundation $100 million....after Bill helped him make billions off uranium deals. Hillary's brother mysteriously got a rare gold mining license in Haiti (now on hold due to controversy).

Does Bill remember this?

An obscure Baptist Church in Cameroon, Africa gave the Clinton Foundation $10 million.

Where does a Baptist church in Africa get $10 million to give to the Clintons? And why?

Then we learn that Cameroon is the recipient of hundreds of millions of grants from the State Dept....earmarked for every social ill imaginable.

Easy to see, you say-—State Dept monies (our tax dollars) were laundered into the church then back into the Clinton Foundation coffers.

And don’t forget, Hillary’s aide and lawyer-—Cheryl (”I don’t remember”) Mills-—is buying up and developing land and businesses in Sub-Sahara Africa (includes Cameroon).
