The Clinton Foundation has come under scrutiny over the past few months with the scandal concerning Hillary Clinton's personal email server being used for State Department business. This week, Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann said the Clinton Foundation was nothing more than an international money laundering ring.
In speaking with Newsmax TV, Bachmann said, "This is the most transparent family in the United States, right? The woman who won't hand over her server, who wasn't supposed to do her government work on that server in the first place, who violated department rules… who, in all likelihood, probably violated US federal rules, which have criminal penalties, and also prohibits her from running for office again."
"Then she decided on her on how many tens of thousands of emails she would delete," Bachmann continued. "So, we know from her past history as the Secretary of State, columnists…. In DC have called Mrs. Clinton a congenital, serial liar. So, in all likelihood, she hasn't changed her stripes."
Bachmann then added, "This Clinton Foundation, which is, in effect, an international money laundering ring to benefit the Clintons personally… remember this is tax-exempt, so it is the easiest way to get big dollars in the Clinton world, where they literally fly around the world on private jets and live the life of potentates. It's really a heady lifestyle to be used to as President of the United States flying around on Air Force One. They really don't like to give up that lifestyle."
So what's the best way for the Clinton's to continue that sort of lifestyle? According to Bachmann, it's to start an international foundation in order for people who believe that it is for a specific cause to give money, when it is really to help a couple of Arkansas Marxists live like a king and queen.
"They use poor people as human shields for their pompous lifestyle," Bachmann concluded.
The Federalist agrees with Bachmann's assessment:
Multiple Canadian tax and privacy law experts contacted by The Federalist, the Washington Post, and BloombergPolitics said there was no such blanket prohibition on public disclosure of charitable donor identities. While Canada does include a ban on the release of donor information in the course of commercial activity, it specifically exempts fundraising from that definition. And because the public disclosure of a donor's name doesn't include any transaction or consideration, it's not considered to be commercial activity.
…
The Clinton Foundation's deliberate misinterpretation of Canadian privacy law in order to rationalize its secrecy raises several questions, chief among them: why? Why go to all this effort to hide years' worth of million-dollar donations from foreign citizens and foreign governments? Donations which were almost certainly being made while Hillary Clinton was serving as Secretary of State, and almost certainly with the intent to influence her decisions?
The answer is an easy one, albeit one that is highly uncomfortable: for the past several years, the Clinton Foundation has basically been a foreign money-laundering operation. The scheme works like this: collect millions of dollars in foreign money, dump it into a foreign charity, pretend that the law prohibits you from ever disclosing the identities of those foreign donors to the foreign charity, then have the foreign charity bundle all the cash and send it to the Clinton Foundation. Then, when the time comes–whether it be a Clinton Foundation conference or a lavish Clinton Foundation trip overseas–make sure those individuals get some me-time with the Clintons.
While the video is courtesy of the knuckleheads over at Right Wing Watch, the reality is probably a lot more sinister than even Bachmann imagines. I agree with her assessment that the Clintons are using the Clinton Foundation and the money that is contributed to it for their own personal use and lifestyle, there is probably much more going on behind the scenes than even she realizes. Clinton didn't delete 30,000 emails just to fund a lifestyle.
The Clinton Foundation is not only tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, but even Clinton's own aide, Huma Abedin, is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and is facing a lawsuit to disclose her emails during Clinton's time at the State Department.
There's more going on here than meets the eye.
Finish America off! Vote for Hillary.
Bachmann or Palin would be 1000 times better than Hillary.
She should be the first female president.
Same with Travelgate, Whitewater, cattle stocks, campaign finance, etc.
Not to mention the entire zero admin.
Indistinguishable from a crime syndicate.
I still think they keep most of the portions.
But HOW much is being given to The Brotherhood, directly or through intermediaries?
Any amount is too much.
This is all over the msm: MSNBC CBS ABC FOX CNN AP Reuters - not!!
Browngate
Go, girl!

Where is Palin? She has been really really quiet.
MSM: “Nothing to see here. Move along.”
Wouldn't be a bit surprised if she's been silenced with threats to harm members of her family if she goes negative on Hillary................
As usual, Michele is right.
I bet the libbies thought she would just disappear. Guess again.
i think that whey you’re slushing around billions of dineros in foreign bribe money
the exact “splits” who gets what percentages... probably don’t change any of the crooks’ Standards of Living much
I do not know where Palin is these days, .. she like Bachmann went pretty much quiet.... too bad, a little more noise from both of these smart people would help the campaign I think...
at least maybe help conteract some of the BS coming from Christie and Bush and about half of Paul’s statements too
That’s really the perfect wording. I know slush fund is
used but the BIG talkers like Rush and Mark Levin and
Drudge in print should adopt that terminology all the time
until it seeps into the MSM and common usage.
Way to go Michele!!
I recall when they said Hillary had taken the antiques furniture mixed with her own household goods when they moved out of the White House. Allegedly, Bill took the Presidential plates and silverware.
What else would you expect from the most corrupt government on the planet. The only question is which Republican GOP-E crook will run against her.
