Isn't American capitalists raping 3rd world countries of their natural resources a major gripe of the left?

I wonder what the DUmmies are saying?

Here's Tony Rodham with Terry MacAuliffe and `an unidentified Chinese campaign contributor`. Tony is not as large as his older brother, Hugh (spelled correctly, but size is inferred).

Looks like the Clintons got the gold mine and the taxpayers got the shaft.

What is the federal government today except a massive “pay to play” scheme?

There certainly seems to be a concerted effort to drum Hitlery into her place and out of the race. She doesn’t seem to be terribly popular. I’m guessing Obama’s team is behind this, as they likely prefer Warren, or anybody other than Clinton.

Hillary's brothers - the gift that keeps on giving. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Rodham

In 1993, he and his brother Hugh ignited a small controversy when they tried to solicit corporate donations for Clinton's inaugural parties; they dropped the effort after a public outcry.[5]

On May 28, 1994, Rodham married Nicole Boxer, daughter of United States Senator from California Barbara Boxer, in a ceremony at the White House attended by 250 guests;[6] it was the first White House wedding since Tricia Nixon married Edward Cox in 1971.[6] They had one son, Zachary, in 1995[7][8] (who later held a unique distinction in that he was simultaneously the grandson and nephew of sitting U.S. senators), before separating by 2000[9] and then getting a divorce.

By then, Tony Rodham had left his position at the Democratic National Committee[10] and described himself as "a consultant ... [in] all kinds of businesses. I'm a general consultant. I just bring different peoples together. I help them negotiate deals. I solve problems for people."[7] In 1997, Rodham tried to arrange meetings between Paraguayan President Juan Carlos Wasmosy and President Clinton,[10] and also powerful Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov and the President.[4] In 1998, he paid a visit to dictatorial Prime Minister Hun Sen of Cambodia.[10] In each of these cases, there was criticism that he was giving an unauthorized impression of White House approval to these foreign figures, or was seeking financial gain for himself.[4][10]

In 1999, Tony and brother Hugh Rodham entered into a $118 million venture to grow and export hazelnuts from the Republic of Georgia.[11] The U.S. State Department and National Security Advisor Sandy Berger became upset, however, when the Rodhams' local business connection in Batumi turned out to be Aslan Abashidze, a major political opponent of Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze, then a key U.S. ally in the region.[4][11] Moreover, Tony Rodham flew to Rome to become godfather to Abashidze's grandson.[4] After initial resistance,[4] Berger and the Clintons prevailed upon the Rodham brothers to drop the deal.[11] Tony Rodham would not state what his financial stake in the venture was.[4]

Episodes such as these led Hillary Clinton's White House staff to refer to Tony and Hugh as "the Brothers Rodham",[12] extending the American tradition of troublesome presidential siblings to the brother-in-law category;[4] one senior White House official would be quoted as saying, "You never wanted to hear their name come up in any context other than playing golf."[12]

In March 2001, it was revealed that Tony Rodham had helped gain a March 2000 presidential pardon for Edgar Allen Gregory, Jr. and his wife, Vonna Jo, a Tennessee couple in the carnival business who had been convicted of bank fraud.[13] The pardon was granted over the objections of the U.S. Justice Department.[13] Rodham acknowledged talking to President Clinton about a pardon;[7] he said he received no money for his work, but he did have financial ties to the couple as a consultant.[13] His actions gained much public focus and criticism, as they came on the heels of the general Bill Clinton pardons controversy and his brother Hugh's own involvement in taking money for work done towards pardons.[7] Hillary Clinton, who had strongly criticized Hugh's involvement and requested he return his money, said that Tony Rodham was not paid for his work.[14] The Republican-controlled House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform investigated the matter and concluded that Tony Rodham had in fact been paid.[14] One aspect of the case dragged out into 2007, as Tony Rodham battled a bankruptcy court's order that he repay over $100,000 in loans from the now-deceased Edgar Gregory.[14]

In August 2001, Tony Rodham was involved in an assault episode at the multi-generational Rodham family summer cottage[15][16] at Lake Winola in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania.[17] A man who claimed he saw Rodham having sex with his girlfriend broke into the cottage and assaulted him; Hugh Rodham and the woman restrained the attacker.[17] Both Tony Rodham and the attacker received some injuries.[18] At a hearing on the case in November, 2001, Tony Rodham testified that he might have smoked marijuana with the attacker several hours before the incident.[19] The man subsequently pleaded guilty to trespassing, assault, and making terroristic threats.[16] By 2002, Rodham was in disputes with his former wife over child support payments, with Nicole Boxer saying he had not paid them in six months.[9]

In the summer of 2005, Tony Rodham married Megan Madden of Vienna, Virginia.[20]

As of mid-2007, Tony Rodham was helping Hillary Clinton raise funds in Pennsylvania for her 2008 presidential campaign.[10] By the end of 2007, he was back in the news for owing Nicole Boxer about $158,000 in back alimony, child support, and related payments following a court judgement.[9] In May 2008, he expressed disgust with how the Democratic National Committee was handling the Michigan and Florida primary delegate issue between Clinton and Barack Obama, and said he did not know who he would vote for if his sister were not nominated.[21]

By 2010, Rodham was president and CEO of Gulf Coast Funds Management, a financing firm.[22] Rodham found himself in the news again in 2013 when it was disclosed that Alejandro Mayorkas, the director of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and President Obama's nominee for United States Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, was being investigated by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General for Mayorkas' role in helping Gulf Coast Funds Management secure approval for participating in the EB-5 visa program for foreign investors.[23] The firm had been granted the go-ahead even though the original application had been denied and an appeal had been rejected.[24] At least one of the visas that Rodham's firm was trying to acquire was for Huawei Technologies, a Chinese telecommunications company sometimes accused of close connections with Chinese intelligence operations.[23] Rodham was also hired by longtime Clintons associate Terry McAuliffe to find foreign investors for his GreenTech Automotive firm.[25] Rodham did not play a large, hands-on role in this effort, however, and a trip to China that he made to recruit investors went sour due to Chinese resentment of various Clinton administration actions including the 1999 U.S. bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.[25]

And we thought Clinton traveled to Haiti all those times because he cared about the people.

Those Clintons care about the ‘little people of the world” - - about separating them from their little wealth...

Wasn't a few billion of that Haiti money lost? Or does it just seem that way when there's nothing to show for it?

Like Africa - (another bottomless pit of US giving) finding what the ‘billions’ were spent on is a challenge - it's usually one clinic that might (might!) have cost $20,000. And 12 different ‘nonprofits’ are claiming the clinic as their own. Liberal bleeding hearts at the bottom - liberal kick back queens at the top...

Haitian gold mining... I’ll bet that’s really good for the environment... but then, Haiti doesn’t have a sage grouse.
