Campaign Finance: Some of the $500 million in secrets behind the Clinton Foundation and its ties to Hillary's presidential campaign are now revealed. The charity seems to be a clearing house for buying political favors.

---

The hundreds of thousands of dollars Hillary took in campaign contributions from Washington lobbyists provoked a chorus of boos when she appeared at the Daily Kos' summer gathering of liberal bloggers in Chicago.

But those direct donations, under the watchful eye of the Federal Election Commission, are mere chicken feed. The now over $500-million-rich Clinton Foundation is where the real action is.

The New York Times, which has discovered the identity of 97 donors who together gave or pledged $69 million early on, reports some of the million-dollar donors sought changes in policies and two of them were under Justice Department probes.

With the presidential election approaching, Clinton Foundation donations skyrocketed last year to $135 million, 70% more than the year before, with two-thirds of the booty from only 11 donors.

So much for Bill and Hil's populist image.

The former president steadfastly refused to reveal the donors' identities — including one super-rich donor giving $31.3 million.

We can certainly now see why. The $31-million-dollar man turned out to be Canadian mining mogul and founder of Lionsgate Entertainment (distributor of Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11") Frank Giustra, who plans to give another $100 million, plus half his future earnings.

Is this story getting legs???

[UCFRoadWarrior]

I hope this story carries....the media is so afraid of the Clintlers.

And very crooked how they are raising Shrill’s money thru backdoor contributions to the Clinton’s non-prof

[jdm]

Not yet, I’m afraid.

[RayChuang88]

If Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly mentions this, it will get legs almost instantly.

[Plains Drifter]

Rush might,I doubt if Bill will.

“the media is so afraid of the Clintlers.”

If and when she collapses in the election, the exposure of Clinton Corruption is going to come out, fast and furious...

After everything that’s been done to get them elected, thier “Friends” will be demanding retribution for thier failures..

[RayChuang88]

I think O'Reilly will also, mostly because it's obvious that the Clinton "mafia" probably may have quietly abused its executive powers during the Clinton Administation days to buy off (or threaten) people in the Hollywood Left and the MSM.

[Carry_Okie]

It's in the New York Post.

The hammer could be the Barrett Report. If Obama has even half a set he will authorize the release of the unredacted version. At that point Hill goes nukelar and Edwards or Richardson emerges from the wasteland.

[Master of Orion]

I don’t think BOR will cover it. This past week he equated all the right wing Hillary haters with the the Lefties who have BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome).

Foreign contributions to presidential campaigns are illegal, but foreigners such as Giustra can anonymously give as much as they like to presidential foundations. So can the Saudi royal family, the king of Morocco, a United Arab Emirates foundation, and the governments of Kuwait and Qatar, all of whom reportedly gave undisclosed amounts to the Clinton Foundation.

Hillary, "It depends on what your definition of campaign contribution is."

[iopscusa]

Where is the Barrett Report?

The $31-million-dollar man turned out to be Canadian mining mogul and founder of Lionsgate Entertainment (distributor of Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11") Frank Giustra, who plans to give another $100 million, plus half his future earnings.

I wonder how these "plans" will change if the Commodities Scam Queen tanks in the Primaries, and no one knocks off Obama before the election.

Democrats at all levels of government are expert at gaming the system to their own benefit. From town and county government right on up. The Democrat Party is the new “party of the rich.”

Only cankles.

So now we have a Canadian Marxist backing the American Marxist, Clinton. This disgusting woman is our version of Putin, corrupt and rolling in millions, lets not forget Soros and his billions to say nothing about the ChiComs. The White House is for sale under these two, money isn’t their most important goal, it is power.
