Bernie Sanders Vows Fight to Convention as Hillary Clinton Wins a Primary
NY Times ^ | June 5, 2016 | Yamiche Alcindor

On Sunday, Mr. Sanders opened a new line of attack against Mrs. Clinton, criticizing donations made by foreign governments while she was secretary of state to the Clinton Foundation, the organization founded by former President Bill Clinton.

When Mr. Sanders, who greeted fans in West Hollywood, was asked by reporters if he remained committed to pushing for a contested convention, said he "absolutely" was.

"If you ask me about the Clinton Foundation, do I have a problem when a sitting secretary of state and a foundation run by her husband collects many millions of dollars from foreign governments, governments which are dictatorships?" Mr. Sanders said.

"You don't have a lot of civil liberties or democratic rights in Saudi Arabia," he told the interviewer, Jake Tapper. "You don't have a lot of respect there for opposition points of view for gay rights, for women’s rights. Yes, do I have a problem with that? Yes, I do."

Lifted this from some guy named Mark on Yahoo:

"The Clinton Foundation is “organized crime” at it’s finest, and we are financing it!

Here is a good, concise summary of how the Clinton Foundation works as a tax free international money laundering scheme.

It may eventually prove to be the largest political criminal enterprise in U.S. history.

This is a textbook case on how you hide foreign money sent to you and re-package it, to be used for your own purposes. All tax free. Here’s how it works:

1. You create a separate foreign “charity.” In this case one in Canada.

2. Foreign oligarch’s & governments, then donate to this Canadian charity. In this case, over 1,000 did contributing mega millions. I am sure they did this out of the goodness of their hearts, and expected nothing in return. (Imagine Putin’s buddies waking up one morning and just deciding to send un-told millions to a Canadian charity).

3. The Canadian charity then bundles these separate donations & makes a massive donation the Clinton Foundation.

4. The Clinton Foundation, and the cooperating Canadian charity claim Canadian law prohibits, the identification of individual donors.

5. The Clinton Foundation, then “spends” some of this money, for legitimate good works programs. Un-fortunately, experts believe this is on the order of 10%. Much of the balance goes to enrich the Clinton’s, pay salaries to un-told numbers of hangers on, & fund lavish travel, etc. Again virtually all tax free, which means you & I are subsidizing it.

6. The Clinton Foundation with access to the world’s best accountants, somehow fails to report much of this on their tax filings. They discover these “clerical errors” and begin the process of re-filing 5 years of tax returns.

7. Net result foreign money, much of it from other countries, goes into the Clinton’s pockets tax free & untraceable back to the original donor. This is the textbook definition of money laundering.

Oh, by the way, the Canadian “charity” includes, as a principal one Frank Giustra. Google him. He is the guy who was central to the formation of Uranium One, Canadian company that somehow acquired massive U.S. uranium interests & then sold them to an organization controlled by Russia.

This transaction required U.S. State Department approval, and guess who was Secretary of State when the approval was granted?"

--Mark

Guistra is full of crap.

This is unbelievable.

Read this crooked bastards statement below.

What good work does the "Clinton Foundation " do anyway?

NOTHING

An article published in the New York Times (“Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal” April 23, 2015) suggests that my contributions to the Clinton Foundation were made to further my business interests.

This is not true! I support the work of the Clinton Foundation because I believe in the Clinton Foundation’s mission and effectiveness. The world is a better place because of it. As a philanthropist, I am extremely proud of the significant work we do to help thousands of people all over the world. We are truly changing lives.

I would like to take this opportunity to explain and clarify some of the questions that have been raised.

Some media outlets have asked us why we have not publicly disclosed the donors that have contributed to the Canadian charity – the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (Canada). The Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (Canada)’s Board has followed Canadian laws and Canadian charitable best practices where donors have a right and an expectation of privacy which we have respected as a Canadian charity. We will not share or publicly disclose our donor’s information unless we received prior written consent.

Journalists have challenged this and have claimed we do not need to provide donors the right to privacy. Therefore, we have sought advice from our Canadian legal counsel and received a legal opinion which supports our statement, as per Canadian laws and Canadian charitable best practices, that donors have a right and an expectation of privacy.

In addition, we have also sought independent legal advice from a leading practitioner in Canadian charity law and expect a second legal opinion to be forthcoming in the following days and which will be posted on the FAQs page of our web-site. Even though there is no formal requirement to disclose our donors, in light of these inquires, we are reaching out to our major donors requesting consent to publicly recognize their contribution.

Bernie is like a hack comedian Carlos Mencia, stealing material from charismatic funnyman Donald Trump.

Mencia would steal jokes from other comedians and claim they applied to him because he’s half hispanic.

Bernie’s stealing Trump’s material and trying to pass off as charismatic as well.
