A House Committee Hears Our Clinton Foundation Scandal Evidence

When I was asked by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s Subcommittee on Government Operations to testify this week about the Clinton Foundation, I knew the challenge would be organizing the vast trove of information we have accumulated through court action over the past several years.
That evidence, I told the committee, warrants a serious investigation of the Clinton Foundation. Moreover, there is evidence that the Obama Justice Department suppressed an investigation of the Foundation.
In my testimony, I said that we were suspicious from the very beginning of Hillary Clinton’s term at the State Department if she and Bill could keep Foundation and government business separate. By 2014, it was evident that we were right, and we issued a report with the Washington Examiner:
A joint investigation by the Washington Examiner and the nonprofit watchdog group Judicial Watch found that former President Clinton gave 215 speeches and earned $48 million while his wife presided over U.S. foreign policy, raising questions about whether the Clintons fulfilled ethics agreements related to the Clinton Foundation during Hillary Clinton‘s tenure as secretary of state…
State Department officials charged with reviewing Bill Clinton’s proposed speeches did not object to a single one.
Some of the speeches were delivered in global hotspots and were paid for by entities with business or policy interests in the U.S.

[A]n inspection by the Examiner and Judicial Watch of donations to the Clinton Foundation, Hillary Clinton’s personal financial disclosure forms, and the State Department conflict-of-interest reviews show that at least $48 million flowed to the Clintons’ personal coffers from many entities that clearly had interests in influencing the Obama administration — and perhaps currying favor with a future president as well.
I detailed for the committee Bill Clinton’s speeches in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and China, all of which poured enormous sums into the Foundation. And there were Bill Clinton’s infamous speeches in Russia. There he gave two for $625,000. One was to the Russian investment bank, Renaissance Capital, at a 2010 event.
I also reminded the committee that it was our efforts that uncovered Hillary Clinton’s notorious private email system, which effectively shielded her various dealings. After our lawsuits forced the disclosure of the Clinton email server, another Judicial Watch lawsuit broke open what is now known as the Clinton Foundation pay-to-play scandal.
Emails we uncovered demonstrate that Clinton Foundation donors and supporters received special favors and consideration from the Clinton State Department. Just one example:
Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain: A Judicial Watch-obtained Huma Abedin-Doug Band email exchange from 2009 revealed that Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain requested a meeting with Secretary of State Clinton but was forced to go through the Clinton Foundation for an appointment. Abedin advised Band that when she went through “normal channels” at State, Clinton declined to meet. After Band intervened, however, the meeting was set up within forty-eight hours. According to the Clinton Foundation website, in 2005, Salman committed to establishing the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Program (CPISP) for the Clinton Global Initiative. And by 2010, it had spent $32 million in conjunction with CGI. The Kingdom of Bahrain reportedly gave between $50,000 and $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. And Bahrain Petroleum also gave an additional $25,000 to $50,000.
I concluded my prepared remarks this way:
Judicial Watch will continue its various independent lawsuits and investigations, on behalf of the public interest, into the Clinton Foundation and the related Clinton email scandal.
Because the Clinton Foundation issue is not a “private” scandal. It is a State Department scandal, it is an FBI scandal, it is a Justice Department scandal, it a foreign potentate scandal, it is a shady corporation scandal, and, for sure, it is a government transparency scandal.
It was a privilege to represent you before Congress and to put forward in a public forum what we have known for a long time about Bill and Hillary Clinton and their Foundation: Influence pays handsomely.

Clintoons are conveniently out of the country
Off the Wall Ping!

It’s a shame they’re not in Gitmo.
My theory is they’re never going to go after any of the Clintons for amy of their political crimes - email, collusion, etc - but will build an ironclad case against the Clinton Money Laundering and Influence Peddling Foundation and not only take it down, but take all their money. Maybe there will be criminal indictments out of it but we’ll have to wait and see.
Sorta like Al Capone, who did many nefarious things but only got conviced of tax evasion.
As I posted elsewhere last night:
While the entire testimony of professional financial investigators Doyle and Moynihan was interesting, the last few minutes were very pointed, if not quite dramatic. Great show, and the investigators handled themselves well.
With this public hearing the FBI, IRS and DOJ may no longer be inclined to sit on the issue.
I thought it fairly obvious that Chairman Meadow's "tantrum", wherein he excoriated the investigators at length for refusing to submit their case documentation, was staged simply to take the wind out of the arguments expected from Rep Norton and the other dem's on the committee.
He knew full well the documentation is both a private "work product" but is also at the heart of what, if it isn't now, should be a criminal investigation.
I pray you’re right, they certainly deserve all of that.
I agree with your theory. I just don’t think there will be any money left. Clintons have been stealing $Billions and they have to pay off their benefactors. Biggest one is Obama. Obama has indirectly stolen more than the Clintons but has blocked all paths to his wealth.
Thanks much for your info, I’ll be watching it today.
Bammy will love jail, he can even bunk with his “wife” Michael.
To build credibility for the Trump witch-hunt, the Democrats just might throw the Clintons under the bus.
Bump!

"Speeches" were also giving in countries so poor starvation's normal... They literally took food out of the mouths of babies. Did the FBI or CIA care? NOT ONE WIT.
Obama is not a good a con artist as the Clintons----so he's left some clues as to where he hid stolen wealth.
Plus Valerie must left dozens of wire-transfers to offshore banks. Obama took WH computers to his DC residence when he exited---must have great info on them.
BIG CLUE: the first place Obama visited after exiting office is French Polynesia, home to numerous numbered bank accounts.
Tom Fitton needs to place these Obama travesties on his lengthening J/W FOIA agenda:
<><> The DOJ has info on Obama’s unprecedented internal spying on Trump’s 2016 campaign, including FBI docs.
.......The DOJ sent Intel Chair Devin Nunes the info.
<><> The Chicago-based tax-exempt Obama Foundation says it wont release the names of his donors.
.........Americans need to have this information.
<><> Obama is exploiting the presidency——pocketing huge speaking fees...
.........he will not reveal the terms of his speaking engagements.
<><> Comey, Clapper, Brennan, possible Susan Rice Face Civil and Criminal Liability for Spying on Americans.
........Americans need to see more on this.

FWIW just off the top of my head: some time back, months, someone listed how many millions certain ones had in certain different places around the world. Maybe I will PM you.
I don’t know if you do Q, but there were drops early on which were taken to mean how much $$$ some of these crooks had put in different around the world places.
Early on would be soon after Q started the drops. I remem one place was Mexico, so never having done a search on the
https://qmap.pub/ link before, I decided to try it.
Well, easy. I got interesting things, but not right off what I recall seeing of listed millions by them in places.
I’ll leave it here till I hear if you r interested or already know this.
Clinton pocketing big bucks for speeches in foreign countries is a joke.
REALITY CHECK: he spoke in English to foreign audiences who could not understand a word he said. The buzz was they had to pay people to sit in the empty seats and look interested.
I swear I have never found anything that funny in my life! I’m waiting and looking forward to experiencing that kind of laugh when they haul them both off in handcuffs - forget the trial and go straight to prison! If we could get these two, I would say let Bill go free - let him enjoy what’s left of his life without the harpie!!!
