Merkel Gives 5 Million to Clinton Foundation

Posted on 12/01/2016 6:21:49 AM PST by hapnHal

It was reported that Angela Merkel was involved in the US election. Direct connection has been made between her and Hillary Clinton.

Angela Merkel has been caught funnelling over $5 million of German taxpayers money to the Clinton Foundation in an underhanded effort to try and influence the recent U.S. elections.

Between July and September 2016, Merkel gave millions of German taxpayers money to the Clinton Foundation, according to German newspaper Die Welt.

According to a newly surfaced donor list, the Clinton charity received around $5 million from Germany’s Ministry for Environment. Ministry’s spokesperson said that they had “very positive experience” with the Clinton Foundation and the millions of dollars diverted to the Clintons were going to planting trees in countries like India, Mexico, and Vietnam.

The total amount of German taxpayer contribution to Clinton Foundation is not yet known. It is unclear if the Merkel government made further payments to the Clinton charity through other ministries or state-run agencies. German newspaper Die Welt details the government transaction:

The newly released list of donors show that Federal [German] Ministry for Environment transferred millions to the [Clinton] Foundation. In the third quarter of 2016, at the height of [Clinton’s] campaign, German taxpayers gave up to five million dollars to the family foundation.

Some observers believe that German government has some explaining to do for the donation that appears under the heading “Donors and Grantors”. “Why does a Ministry supports the election campaign of a U.S. presidential candidate?” asked Vera Lengsfeld — former civil rights activist and German parliamentarian — in her blog. “It seems German taxpayers unwittingly financed Hillary Clinton’s election campaign.”

Perhaps, Corzine can come out of retirement and help unravel the cash flow.

Bill Clinton could help Corzine a lot, too.

“...2. Roughly 93-percent of the yearly funding of the Clinton Foundation goes to rent costs, operations, staff, and salary (like to Chelsea). ONLY 6-to-7 percent goes to charities or anything related to actual charity events. If you ask anyone within the Germany government, about the statistic (readily available)....none know this fact. So, when they state it’s for something related to tree-planting....then 93-percent of the $5 million had nothing to do with trees. It might be a shocker to the German public.....”

Hopefully, German electorate and federal investigators will learn of this and will react appropriately.

I would love to see Hillary and Bill's Foundation get involved in international crimes and have Germany ask the US to extradite her to Germany to stand trial. That would be even better than seeing her standing trial in the USA for what she has done. I like the idea of her and Bill going down in History as international criminals.
