The Swiss bank UBS is one of the biggest, most powerful financial institutions in the world. As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton intervened to help it out with the IRS. And after that, the Swiss bank paid Bill Clinton $1.5 million for speaking gigs. The Wall Street Journal reported all that and more Thursday in an article that highlights huge conflicts of interest that the Clintons have created in the recent past.
The piece begins by detailing how Clinton helped the global bank.
“A few weeks after Hillary Clinton was sworn in as secretary of state in early 2009, she was summoned to Geneva by her Swiss counterpart to discuss an urgent matter. The Internal Revenue Service was suing UBS AG to get the identities of Americans with secret accounts,†the newspaper reports. “If the case proceeded, Switzerland’s largest bank would face an impossible choice: Violate Swiss secrecy laws by handing over the names, or refuse and face criminal charges in U.S. federal court. Within months, Mrs. Clinton announced a tentative legal settlement—an unusual intervention by the top U.S. diplomat. UBS ultimately turned over information on 4,450 accounts, a fraction of the 52,000 sought by the IRS.â€

Its amazing what information Leftist journalists can come up with if they actually want to....

She is corrupt through and through. Jail for her!
After the Congolese government attempted to regain control of its own mines, the State Department intervened on behalf of Lundin Mining and another mining company, Freeport Mines, also a Clinton foundation donor.
A round of talks in 2010, thought to be aided by the Clinton State Department, concluded with the pair of well-connected companies retaining their stakes in the mines and with the Congolese government being shut out of its own resources. (hat tip Schweizer book---Clinton Cash)
EXHIBIT ONE---Hillary/s State Dept Aide Shared Classified Information With Clinton Foundation, Email Shows; Cheryl Mills sent information marked confidential to Clinton Foundation in 2012 / BY Alana Goodman September 28, 2015
A key aide of Hillary Clinton emailed classified information about the government in Congo to a staffer at the Clinton Foundation in 2012, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Cheryl Mills, Clinton/s chief of staff at the State Department, sent the email to the Clinton Foundation’s foreign policy director, Amitabh Desai, on July 12, 2012.
The message, which was originally obtained by the group Citizens United through a public records request, is partially redacted because it includes foreign government information that has been classified Confidential by the State Department......but was not marked classified by the State Department until this past summer, intelligence sources tell the Free Beacon that it would have been classified at the time Mills sent it because foreign government information is considered classified from inception.
The message could add to concerns from congressional and FBI investigators about whether former Secretary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while at the State Department.
About half of the forwarded message was redacted due to its classified nature before the State Department released it to Citizens United last month. Although it is not clear what the redacted section includes, the State Department said in a court motion filed last week that it concerns both foreign government information and critical aspects of U.S. foreign relations, including U.S. foreign activities carried out by officials of the U.S. Government.
The State Department added that the disclosure of this information has the potential to damage and inject friction into our bilateral relationship with African countries whose cooperation is important to U.S. national security.
The Clinton Foundation and the State Department did not respond to request for comment about the email, or say whether Desai...a non-government employee who has worked at the foundation since 2007....would have been authorized to view Confidential information.

If there is a special place in hell for women that don’t support other women does that mean that there is a special place in heaven for Men that only support other men?
When did the libtards at The Atlantic become part of imaginary the “vast right wing conspiracy”?
Martha Stewart went to prison (gracefully I might add) for far less that the numerous things the Clinton's have done. When will someone step up and charge these career criminals?

If Hitlery pisses of the SanderClause kids enough with enough fraud, expect the trickle of negative stories to become a waterfall with enough force to carve out a canyon large enough to make that one in Arizona look like a street gutter
TIMELINES are IMPORTANT.....they WILL show QUID PRO QUO in SPADES for the Clinton Crime Family Slush Fund!!!
Those 4,450 names should make for interesting reading. I’ll bet they are all on the RAT and Klintoon hit list.
We Freepers know that the scandal is in the Clinton Crime Family Slush Fund that has BILLIONS in it......will the FBI be SMART ENOUGH and BRAVE ENOUGH to do look into it?
UBS - isn’t that where you plug into the computer?
Seriously, though, Herself is getting very good at taking the money of big banks and Wall Street brokerage firms, then turning around and kicking their collective butts. Doesn’t seem like a really good business model for the big-money people.
Unless you are dealing with somebody on a par with the Mafia, and this is just “protection” payments.
I was thinking the same thing. Would like to know who those 4,450 were.
