With each passing day, more compromising of national security, self-serving and self-enriching behaviors, frauds, scams and general malfeasance on the part of Hillary Clinton come to light via new Wikileaks data dumps. But the news media’s obsession with things Donald Trump has said consistently overshadows things Hillary Clinton has actually done.

Revelations have now surfaced that Clinton backed the Puerto Rico Debt Relief Bill, a plan to help the financially struggling U.S. commonwealth deal with a $70 billion debt it managed to rack up, after a top Clinton fundraiser –who just happens to be a lobbyist for the Puerto Rican treasury— emailed his brother to discuss the situation.

It never stops with this woman.......and it will continue if she is elected

[vinny29]

Is it anything this woman do is LEGAL? Wow we are becoming a country of savage morons!!!

[dragnet2]

Why would a foreign government, any foreign government, let alone one in the Middle East, give a million dollars as a birthday gift? The secrecy, corruption, payoffs and general level of suspicious activity that surrounds this couple is astounding.

Nice birthday present! That must have made the Clinton's smile!

[Paladin2]

Isn’t PRyno one of the prime enablers of this scam?

[vinny29]

But oh course!!!!

[dsrtsage]

Does Puerto Rexico contribute a single thing of value to the US?

[PLMerite]

“...$70 billion debt it managed to rack up...”

More like MISmanaged to rack up.

[RetSignman]

[Nice birthday present!]

That million dollars might cover a few months in expensive lawyer fees when they are finally indicted.

[cpdiii]

At least it can be said that Eva Peron was a lovely woman in her youth. Hillary never had such.

Add that to this corruption:

Clinton stepped down as secretary of state in 2013 to run for president. But newly released emails from 2012 show that she and Clinton Foundation consultant, Sidney Blumenthal, shared classified information about how German leadership viewed the prospects for a Greek bailout. Clinton also shared "protected" State Department information about Greek bonds with her husband at the same time that her son-in-law aimed his hedge fund at Greece.

In 2012, Marc Mezvinski, the husband of Chelsea Clinton, created a $325 million basket of offshore funds under the Eaglevale Partners banner through a special arrangement with investment bank Goldman Sachs. The funds have lost tens of millions of dollars predicting that bailouts of the Greek banking system would pump up the value of the country's distressed bonds. One fund, exclusively dedicated to Greek debt, suffered near-total losses.

Hillary emails show US tried to help Greece and maintain EU relations

A batch of State Dept. emails on Greece reveals America's behind-the-scenes efforts to garner IMF relief.

A review of Clinton's 15 emails on Greece in in the batch released this week reveals that while the Obama administration supported the IMF's involvement in the 2010 bailout, geopolitical and international security considerations played a big part in America's posture. Concern appeared paramount over EU cooperation on Afghanistan and Iran.

One email that stands out was sent from journalist Sidney Blumenthal, a former aide to President Bill Clinton and long-time confidant and advisor to the former first lady. He identified early on the potential risks posed to the euro zone from the diffusion of the Greek debt crisis. He cited the views of John C. Kornblum, an expert on U.S.-European political and economic relations who served as the U.S. ambassador to Germany from 1997 to 2001.

Blumenthal emphasized that "a potential second major phase of the economic crisis in Europe is likely with the designation of Greece to junk bοnd status, on the edge of default, with Portugal, Spain, and perhaps even Ireland at tipping points."

Viewing the Greek crisis within a geopolitical context, Blumenthal claimed that it could even undermine the U.S.-European cooperation on a wide variety of issues, such as Afghanistan and Iran.

"In the worst case, the President could be confronted with a major crisis of confidence among members of the EU. He would be blamed for inattention to the negative trends," Blumenthal warned and concluded that "we cannot treat our partnership with Europe as just another point on a multi-polar map. Maintaining consensus within Europe and between the U.S. and Europe is essential to maintaining a foundation for our global efforts."

This alone should put Hillary in prison for life...... Glad she guided her son in law toward bankruptcy!!!

Hillary’s son in law worked for Goldman Sachs for 8 years. He left to form private investment partnerships with Goldman Sachs executives.....

Does Puerto Rexico contribute a single thing of value to the US? Do you?

And, it's called "Puerto Rico", not your bastardized and stupid name.

[ptsal]

Did Preet B. get right on top of this one?

[morphing libertarian]

when she decided to run for Senate in NY wasn’t she the driving force behind Willie Jeff pardoning the FLAN terrorists so she could look good up in east harlem?

[semimojo]

Wow! Hillary got 68 Senators in a Republican controlled Senate to vote for this.

She must be a pretty skilled deal maker.
