As President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry close in on a nuclear deal with Iran, it's worth remembering that the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation received money from "a front for the government of Iran" called the Alavi Foundation.
The front gave the Clintons $30,000 between April 2005 and March 2006, according to tax forms. This occurred years after law enforcement officials tied the group to Iranian radicals. “The center is funded by the New York-based Alavi Foundation, which law enforcement officials say is closely tied to the mullahs who dominate Iran,” the Washington Post reported in 2003.
“David Cohen, the New York City Police Department’s intelligence chief, said in a recent court document that the Alavi Foundation is ‘totally controlled by the government of Iran’ and ‘funds a variety of anti-American causes,’ including the Potomac center and other mosques. These organizations, said Cohen, a 35-year veteran of the CIA, have affiliates that support Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, two groups the U.S. government has deemed terrorist.”
In 2009, U.S. attorney Preet Bharara called the foundation a "front for the government of Iran." "The Alavi Foundation has effectively been a front for the government of Iran ... For two decades, the Alavi Foundation’s affairs have been directed by various Iranian officials, including Iranian ambassadors at the United Nations, in violation of a series of U.S. laws."
The Clintons pledged in 2009 not to return the donations. “Matt McKenna, a spokesman for both the former president and the William J. Clinton Foundation, which focuses on public health, climate change, and economic opportunity both domestically and internationally, said the Alavi Foundation donated the money to a tsunami relief fund set up by Clinton in 2005 and that the Clinton Foundation had no plans to return it in the wake of Thursday’sgovernment action. He said neither Clinton nor the foundation had any comment on the government’s actions,” Newsweek reported.
This wouldn’t surprise me at all. Clintons are dirty, filthy politicians and scammers.
Nothing new for them. They got plenty from China as well.
Two more evil political figures would be hard to find. And their darling want’s to continue their legacy.
Ahh, no thanks.
It doesn’t bother me so much that this Alavi Foundation donated money to the Clinton Foundation for tsunami relief, but that the Clinton Foundation never ‘distributed’ those funds to those needing relief.
Seems like EVERYONE has been paying off the Clinton’s.
They were getting 10’s of millions of $$$ from a couple of Ukrainian Oligarch’s, as well.
The real question is, what did that BUY, and how many BILLIONS/Trillions has it cost the U.S. Taxpayer.
tip of the iceberg...
Hitlary’s seeds have been sown due to her efforts as Sec. of State, now the money starts rolling in to support her efforts to becoming POTUS. Tell ME that is LEGAL..........
Same MO in Haiti, I understand.
When are we (the people, the government) going to shut this scam down?
Only her email server knows for sure.....
This is buying political influence from the Clintons.
It's like the social climber getting an expensive ticket to the charity ball - when half her relatives are on food stamps.. It ain't to give to 'charity'...
And, it is swimming wit da fishies
None of the Arabs paying a million for a Hillary ‘speech’ were buying her wisdom... they were buying future access.
If anyone has doubts, see if she can sell 45 minutes of her time to an Arab after she drops out of the race.
as Hillary “Grows” so do the prices for ever growing.....wardrobe
Hillary’s secret is that pantsuits hide her cankles.
theyre very similar to a large puptent
“Huma, Honey Dear can you get Brownies on the line for me?”
So what. Almost all of the national government is a front for some other government representation. They’re certainly NOT for us.
