We have written frequently about the internal Clinton Foundation power struggle between Chelsea Clinton and Doug Band over the previous couple of weeks (see here, here and here). It all started back in 2011 when, as Chelsea started to take a more senior role at the Clinton Foundation, she became increasingly concerned about an internal audit that exposed glaring conflicts of interest throughout the Foundation with an emphasis on Doug Band and his company, Teneo, who she thought had inappropriately sought favors from the State Department during Hillary's tenure as Secretary of State. A Politico article from March 2015, summarized Chelsea's rise at the Foundation and how it threatened some long-time Clinton allies who had grown quite accustomed to the status quo.
But Chelsea Clintons rise at times has seemed to threaten some veteran Clinton aides who had carved out influentialand lucrativepositions after long service with her parents. She is blamed in some quarters for marginalizing both Lindsey and Doug Band, who rose from the presidents body man to build and help run the foundations Clinton Global Initiative. A third Clinton veteran, Ira Magaziner, saw his portfolio at the foundation diminished during Bravermans tenure, and sources say Magaziners role remains under scrutiny.
Now, new WikiLeaks emails reveal additional details behind the the man, Eric Braverman, who was brought in as CEO by Chelsea to change the controversial practices of the Foundation but abruptly resigned a short time later after being pushed out by long-time Clinton loyalists who had apparently grown very comfortable with the status quo.
“At this point, I can’t think of any Clinton scandal that would be a game-changer. The American people just don’t care.”
Well, Democrats don’t care, anyway. But if a Republican did a fraction of what the Clintons have done the Democrats would be waxing indignant.
The premise of the headline is that there is just one Clinton scandal or at least one scandal that towers over all the others and reduces them to insignificance.
And that is false. This is a gift that just keeps giving.
Just a few that rise to the level of financial skulduggery and conflicts of interest at the CF.
1. Taking $12 M from the King of Morocco. This is a big deal. Geo-strategically if there is one country that we need to keep on our side it is Morocco because it, along with Gibralter, controls passage into the Med. It's about as big a deal as you can get and you don't shake down someone you need as your friend for a bit of loose change.
2. Top Secret SCI/SAP info sent on unclassified servers to folks who have no business seeing it.
3. Participation in and financing of the democratic machine to systematically fix elections, intimidate voters, and keep fundamental and important truths come out.
