Sen. Rand Paul spent part of his second day as an officially declared presidential candidate hinting that big revelations are coming "soon" about the foundation headed by the Clinton family, but declined to divulge specifics, pointing out "it wouldn't be a secret anymore" if he did. "I think there are things that went on at the Clinton Foundation that are going to shock people, and I think they're going to make people question whether or not she should be president or not," the Kentucky Republican said, speaking to reporters after his first campaign rally in New Hampshire, ABC's JORDYN PHELPS reports. In an interview yesterday with CNN, Paul confirmed that allegations come from a forthcoming book called "Clinton Cash."

“Prickly” Paul
GTH MSM.
Wow what an editorialized title....
C42
Great minds and all...lol
Who’s the most presidential of them all?
TELL US!!!!
Hildabeast suppporters are mentally ill and see only a women for president becuase its time. Rand must tread softly though be very afraid of right handed guns for lefties in parks and exploding mercedes that love trees
If they haven’t been shocked already, they’re unshockable.
In sharp contrast, Ted Cruz will be 45 about to turn 46, Scott Walker will have just turned 49 years old, Rand Paul will be 53, and even Sarah Palin will be 53. People forget one of the big draws of Barack Obama back in 2008 was the fact he was only 48 on Election Day 2008--one of the youngest persons ever elected President.
When Hillary left state, they found $6 billion supposedly earmarked for "contractors" went missing. Lucrative foreign contracts to companies that were Clinton Foundation donors were all administered by the State Department.....w/ Hillary at the helm.
<><> questions remain WRT how often CEOs and company reps traveled with Hillary;
<><> did the countries giving these companies lucrative contracts receive anything from Clinton?
===================================================
CONNECTING THE DOTS Then-Secy Hillary gave Haiti $3.1 billion tax dollars from the tax-subsidized govt Foundation for Earthquake Relief.
This was followed by Hillarys brother getting a rare gold mining permit; the last permit Haiti issued was over fifty years before.
===================================================
POINTS TO PONDER:
<><> As Secretary of State, Hillary devoted much of her time in 2010 to the Haiti recovery.
<><> The Clinon Family Foundation accepted Algerias $500,000 donation for Haitian earthquake relief in 2010, during Hillary Clintons tenure as Secy of State at the time Algeria recd millions in foreign aid..
<><> Bill Clinton got his hands on hundreds of million of dollars while Hillary controlled the State Dept checkbook..... monies that were meant for Haiti.
<><> the newlywed Clintons spent their honeymoon in Haiti.
<><> listed as a Clinton Foundation donor: Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund---organized at the behest of Obama: GHWB-WJC principles (recently disbanded).
After the earthquake in Haiti, the Clinton Foundation raised around $36 million for disaster relief, while the Obama Administration kicked in $3.6 billion.
=================================================
Protesters gathered outside the Clinton Foundation in Harlem to complain about "missing money" from the US State Dept's recovery effort for the 2010 Haitian earthquake:
They protested outside the offices of the Clinton Foundation, which helped lead the reconstruction fund. They claimed that the US State Dept's $10 billion meant to help rebuild Haiti did little to help the country after the devastating 2010 quake. And that much of the money went to non-Haitian companies.
The Haitian-American protesters also claimed that American aid to Haiti was a cover for foreign governments to funnel kickbacks of hundreds of millions of dollars to The Clinton Foundation. They believe Hillary was doing favors for the foreign governments while she was Secretary of State.
The Clinton Foundation reportedly accepted millions of dollars from a Colombian oil company head before then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton decided to support a trade deal with Colombia despite worries of human rights violations.
The report in the International Business Times comes as Clinton readies an expected run for president. Shes been dogged by questions about whether foreign donations to her foundations could have influenced her official decisions.
The report centers on donations from Frank Giustra and the oil company that he founded, Pacific Rubiales. In a Wall Street Journal story from 2008, Giustra is described as a friend and traveling companion of former President Clinton who donated more than $130 million to Clintons philanthropies. Hes also a Clinton Foundation board member and has participated in projects and benefits for the foundation. When workers at Pacific Rubiales decided to strike in 2011, the Columbian military reportedly used force to stop the strikes and compel them to return to work, IBT reports, citing the Washington office of Latin America, a human rights group.
Those accusations of human rights violations were part of the criticism of the United States-Colombia Free Trade Promotion Agreement, which was passed by Congress later that year. Pacific Rubiales has repeatedly denied charges that it infringed on workers rights. (Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
BACKSTORY The Clinton Foundation Initially Suggested That The $31.3 Million Contribution Listed On Its Tax Return Did Not Come From A Single Donor. Then changed its story, that, It had, in fact, Come From A Single Source, But Clinton officials Declined To Identify It.
NY TIMES REPORT --- The $31.3 million donation to the Clinton Foundation, which was previously undisclosed, came from the Radcliffe Foundation run by Frank Giustra, a Canadian who has made millions financing mining deals around the world.
Mr. Giustra has become a member of Mr. Clinton's inner circle, joining him on global trips and lending him the use of his private MD-87 jet.
For weeks, Clinton Foundation officials had suggested that the $31.3 million contribution listed on its tax return did not come from a single donor. They then said it came from a single source, but declined to identify it.
On Wednesday afternoon, a representative of Mr. Giustra contacted The NY Times and acknowledged the Radcliffe contribution." ####
==================================================
REFERENCE --L/E has said that the biggest money-laundering frauds are one foundation writing a check to another foundation----how they skim off tax-free money for themselves.
The check recipient takes a cut then deposits the bulk in a numbered offshore bank account for the check-writer's use later.
“Clumsy week for Paul”
Is he not saying things to the MSM, although not perfectly, better than any candidate has ever done (since the MSM turned into a dem machine)?
The Clintons are total sleaze bags, but Bill can exude that awe shucks charm that allows him to get away with anything including perjury and having oral sex with a 19 year old intern in the Oval Office. Hillary totally lacks that charm and reacts to being caught doing unethical if not illegal activities with anger and indignation. She comes across as being an elitist who is above being questioned about things like Benghazi and her secret email server and counts on the media to cover for her. I think Democrats will see her as tawdry and old, like some shrill old aunty who is constantly criticizing and look to someone younger and more hip like O’Malley
Won’t change my mind...
Nothing can shock HRC supporters die-hards out of supporting her — nothing!
Meaningless revelation to the HRC die-hards, most of whom still have a crush on "their bill".
The American people have a fascination with all things Clinton, despite the 2008 bump to the contrary.
Yeah-—the Clinton cultists will still be all-puckered up—awaitng their turn under his desk.
But these revelations will peel off other voters who are not so inclined.
Is that a Beck/Trump type revelation?
Why say people will be shocked at certain revelations and not ‘reveal’ them?
Does Paul need to speak these from the well of the Senate so he won’t get sued?

Sounds too much like a National Enquirer headline. They are sensational, but the actual articles seldom live up to the hype.
