MANY [HALF] DONORS TO CLINTON FOUNDATION MET WITH HER AT STATE
AP ^ | 23 August 2016 | STEPHEN BRAUN AND EILEEN SULLIVAN

Posted on 08/23/2016 12:33:58 PM PDT by Fractal Trader

More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money - either personally or through companies or groups - to the Clinton Foundation. It's an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.

At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.

IT'S RACKETEERING.

Of course this is true, but notice the subtle imprecision in the use of language. Half the people she met with at State had donated to the Clinton family crime foundation. Yes, of course. One would have to also assume that SOME of the meetings she had at State were NOT with foundation donors.

It does not say what number of donors to the foundation met with her at State. What if it turns out to be every single f'n one of them?

The other 45% were probably getting a shake down for donations to the Clinton Foundation. They should both live out the rest of their lives in jail - with forced conjugal visits with each other weekly. Cruel and Unusual punishment?

I’m willing to believe that 99.44 percent of the people she had pay to play with via the Klinton foundation met with her at State. The reason AP describes it as half is that there were, of course, other meetings she would have had at State that didn’t involve pay to play.

So let’s see the next step now, what each of them got afterwards. They’d not have kept giving the bribes if she didn’t put out.

They are shutting down CGI (where the real crimes were committed):

Politico: Obama to Skip Clinton Global Initiative Meeting (Via Breitbart)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3462176/posts
~~~~~

DEMS are very worried about the Clinton Foundation; some Dems and leftist media are calling for the whole criminal enterprise to be shut down NOW, not later-—too much press and the guts of the inner workings are spilling out. Not good.

Bill Clinton is trying to appease Dems and salvage his cash cow.
~~~~~~

A call from Ed Rendell on Sat, Aug 13th:
“I definitely think if she wins the presidency they have to disband it. I know it’ll be hard for President (Bill) Clinton because he cares very deeply about what the foundation has done,” former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a close Clinton ally, told the Daily News. “It’d be impossible to keep the foundation open without at least the appearance of a problem.”

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/hillary-win-shutdown-clinton-foundation-article-1.2750195

and the Boston Globe on Tuesday, Aug 16:

The Clintons should move now to end donations to the foundation, and make plans to shut it down in November. Even if they’ve done nothing illegal, the foundation will always look too much like a conflict of interest for comfort.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/editorials/2016/08/16/clinton-foundation-should-stop-accepting-funds/W8JsNkBseYo6wIxWosNb5O/story.html

“The Clinton Foundation said ***Thursday [Aug 18] *** it will not accept foreign or corporate donations if Hillary Clinton is elected president in November.”

“Bill Clinton also plans to cease giving paid speeches”

“... he would resign from the Clinton Foundation board, should Hillary Clinton win in November.”

“Bill Clinton also said the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York next month will be the final CGI meeting, no matter what happens with Hillary Clinton in November.”
http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/18/politics/clinton-foundation-says-it-wont-accept-corporate-or-foreign-donations-if-clinton-wins/index.html

By Friday, Aug 19, the Clinton Foundation was already reneging -— CHAI and Giustra’s CGEP:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/08/19/clinton-foundation-already-set-break-promise-ban-foreign-donations/

Also reported by Wapo on Friday:
“Chelsea Clinton would remain on the board for a transition period. However, her name, as well as Hillary Clinton’s, would be dropped from the charity’s title, which would revert to the Clinton Foundation from its current formal name, the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.”

So? Access, not favors. She's up 16 in Virginia. Trump's in the bunker. It's over. This is old news. Asked and answered. Really boring. VRWC. Colin Powell's fault. What difference does it make? Pickle jar...

I'm with ya. All this corruption out in the open. Trump talking about it every day. Trump reaching out to Blacks and speaking the truth like no Republican has ever done. And Crooked Hillary still leads, or at least very optimistically, is tied in every poll.

I don't get it. Disappointed.

That is an average donation of $1,835,294 per donor!

Any citizen with cognitive thinking ability should NOT be surprised. A real journalist should realize the potential quid pro quo / criminal enterprise / RICO violations and seek answers to some of the REAL QUESTIONS:

1) What did these donors get in exchange for such significant “donations” to the foundation?

2) How much did these same donors give in “Speaking fees” to Bill or Hillary?

3) AP states “...Clinton met with representatives of at least 16 foreign governments that donated as much as $170 million to the Clinton charity, but they were not included in AP’s calculations because such meetings would presumably have been part of her diplomatic duties.” The meetings with SOS may have been part of her duties, however $170,000,000 in donations to her “Clinton Charity” should NOT be part of SOS duties! What did these “foreign government reps” get in return for an avg. $10,625,000 each?

ah the media will not even mention ay of this about Clinton and instead mention how Trump said something not nice.

Seems the media get more upset about what upsets someone than a woman who is corrupt, had an illegal server which sent classified information and then she lied about it. Then took money from governments and special interests, some of which are corrupt and treat women like crap. The she lies about that too.

I guess none of that matters when the person who does all that is in tune with their political beliefs and these biased, media pieces of scum say they are not biased!!!

I call all this stuff ‘Nixon’s Revenge’.

Hillary was a lawyer on the Watergate committee.

She wrote a brief, that would have disallowed Nixon ANY LEGAL COUNSEL during the impeachment hearing.....................
