A source close to Pres-elect Trump's transition team indicated plans to pressure its yet unnamed US ambassadors to suggest to foreign governments that they probe their Clinton Foundation financial dealings. “Haiti and Colombia will be key diplomatic posts because of all the money ­involved,” said the source.

==================================================

Recently leaked ­e-mails marked FOB “Friends of Bill”, indicate Clinton State Dept insiders may have given "FOB" official State Dept priority as it prepared to spend some $10 billion tax dollars---aid after a 2010 devastating earthquake in Haiti. The State Dept denied any special treatment.

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra (he facilitated the sale of US uranium deposits), pledged $100 million to the Clinton Foundation in 2005 and later benefited from the foundation’s philanthropic work in Columbia where Giustra acquired large parcels of land and set up an oil business, ­according to watchdog groups.

===========================================

Another person who profited from Haiti’s earthquake was Hillary Clinton’s younger brother Tony Rodham. In October 2013, he joined the board of Haiti's VCS Mining.

In December 2012, VCS Mining was one of two companies to win a contract to mine for gold in Haiti. Haiti had not issued permits to mine gold in almost 50 years prior to this deal. How did VCS do it?

In 2012, VCS chief executive Angelo Viard met Tony Rodham at a Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) event. If Viard didn’t hire Rodham because of his family ties, then why did he also pay $20,000 membership fee to the Clinton Foundation.

It is worth noting that mining for gold can be extremely hazardous to the environment of Haiti. To separate the gold from the rock, some mining companies use cyanide. If another earthquake hits Haiti,there is a chance that the cyanide could escape into the soil and/or the water supply. Many Haitians could die to service the greed of Clinton Foundation donors and recipients.”

Emails released by ABC News show that the State Department assisted “FOB”-—Friends of Bill-—in facilitating lucrative US government contracts in the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

Ten billion tax dollars in government aid poured in. In addition, Bill Clinton said he raised another 65 million by sending out solicitation letters from the Clinton Foundation requesting more aid.

“Friends of Bill Clinton” were flagged for special treatment by the State Department, while others who offered aid were redirected to a general government website.

One example is billionaire Clinton Foundation donor Denis O’Brien. When the 2010 earthquake hit, his Jamaica-based telecom firm Digicel wanted to fly supplies into Port-au-Prince and get his employees out. An email from the Clinton Foundation’s Amitabh Desai, director of foreign policy, had the subject listed as “Close friend of Clintons” and referred to Bill Clinton by his initials WJC.

===============================================

A large building industrial park in Haiti was built with Clinton Foundation money and became home to many businesses that donated to the Clinton Foundation, such as Gap and SAE-A, a Korean garment company that became the anchor tenant of the park, according to ABC News.

Hillary Clinton was still the secretary of state when the park opened in 2012. At the opening ceremony, both she and Bill gave special thanks to Hillary’s chief of staff Cheryl Mills (a US govt employee cashing govt paychecks).“I want to thank our friend Cheryl Mills because it was her determination, her sheer will to work through every obstacle that made this possible,” Bill Clinton said.

Secy Hillary also praised Mills, saying “my chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, who has been, as others have already said, a real driver of our government’s support for everything that we see here today.”

However, Cheryl Mills left the State Department in 2013 and was later pictured at a SAE-A company event in Costa Rica where she represented the Black Ivy Group, a firm that prides itself on building commercial enterprises in sub-Saharan Africa and focuses on “building and leveraging a vast network of global and local relationships spanning the public, private and government sectors.”

One of the initial investors of Black Ivy was identified on their website as Woong-ki Kim, chairman of SAE-A, ABC News reported. That page has since been removed. The Clinton Foundation has denied any involvement in the decision to build the industrial park, recruiting SAE-A as its anchor tenant and denied persuading former donors to establish factories in the industrial park.

It has yet to be determined if Cheryl Mills is still cashing US govt paychecks.

A statement from Bruce R. Lindsey, chairman of the board of the Clinton Foundation, denies wrongdoings, saying, “the Clinton Foundation did not have a role in building the Caracol Industrial Park and has never invested any funds into the park.”
