Bill Clinton Defends the Family

RUSH: Former President Bill Clinton is surfacing to defend the Clinton Crime Family Foundation because, as predicted, news stories about the Clinton Foundation are scaring off the people that want to bribe the Clintons, the access-buyers. The reason that is happening is because the scam has been exposed. The scam is that it isn't about charity. It's about personal enrichment by selling future access and granting favors from a sitting secretary of state for exorbitant sums of money, under the guide of selflessness.

The Clintons have gone out and they tell these donors (Clinton impression), "You know, the American people love us, and especially me. The American people love me, and I can't do anything wrong. (laughing) I mean, I have done all kinds of things, and they still think I'm the biggest stud in the whole country! So you can give me money and everybody's just gonna assume I will do great things. I'm gonna go out and help earthquake victims and tsunami victims and wherever there's trouble I'm gonna be there.

"Nobody's gonna question it. They're gonna think you're a hero donating to our foundation. You'll be a great guy. They're gonna think you're doing great things. You just be patient. When Hillary gets elected president, that's when we'll expect hear from. And if you want access now, she's secretary of state." This little quid pro quo stuff went on underneath the table. It's all been exposed now, including the fact that 15% -- only 15% -- of what is donated actually goes to charitable endeavors.

So now the donors are receiving the same scrutiny the Clintons are getting. The donors now are being scrutinized. It's almost like they're cockroaches under the sink and you got your flashlight out trying to find 'em so you can wipe 'em out but you can't. Cockroaches survive everything. But they're scattering. So Clinton surfaces and does an interview on NBC News with Cynthia McFadden. He decried what he saw as a concerted effort to take down his foundation and said he had done nothing "knowingly inappropriate."

(impression) "Hey, you know, I might have done some stuff wrong but I didn't it knowing I was doing it. I mean, I thought I was aboveboard all the way. I've never... That's not who I am. That's not who we are. We don't knowingly do things inappropriate. (laughing) It just comes to light later that they were, but we didn't know it at the time. You can trust me on that." Speaking about accepting foreign donations while his wife was secretary of state.

(impression) "That is a very deliberate attempt here to take that foundation down. I mean, there's almost no new fact that wasn't known first time she ran for president. We're gonna come as close as we can during her presidential campaign to following the rules that we followed when she was secretary of state." Let's go to the audio sound bites and you'll hear for yourself. Cynthia McFadden on the Today Show this morning, said to Clinton, you're proud of the work on the African programs the Clinton Foundation has raised billions to help fund.

OMG, Clinton is becoming a cartoon of himself. This reads
like John Semmens' rollicking semi-satire takes on FR.

CLINTON ON NBC's TODAY SHOW : "Hey, you know, I might have done some stuff wrong but I didn't it knowing I was doing it. I mean, I thought I was above-board all the way. I've never... That's not who I am. That's not who we are. We don't knowingly do things inappropriate. (laughing) It just comes to light later that they were, but we didn't know it at the time.

You can almost visualize Billy chewing on a piece of hay and rubbing the underside of his pet pig.

5/3/15--WASHINGTON POST: Wealthy Canadian helps fund the Clinton Foundation

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of
the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. Giustra's
contributions go both directly to the foundation, and,
to a Canadian charity, which in turn sends money to the
Clinton Foundation.

WIKI In September 2005, mining magnate Frank Giustra flew Clinton to Kazakhstan on his private jet as part of a three-country philanthropic tour. Clinton praised the Kazakh autocrat for "this statement you have made about opening up the social and political life [of Kazakhstan]".

Within two days of the former President's meeting with Kazakhstan’s president Nursultan Nazarbayev, Giustra's fledgling uranium company signed preliminary agreements giving it the right to buy into three uranium projects controlled by the state-owned uranium agency, Kazatomprom. "The monster deal stunned the mining industry, turning an unknown shell company into one of the world’s largest uranium producers."

In 2006, in the months after Mr. Clinton's visit helped secure Giustra's company the right to mine uranium in Kazakhstan, Mr. Giustra donated $31.3 million to the Clinton Foundation. This figure is at variance with the one released by the William J. Clinton Foundation (on the 18 December 2008), as part of an arrangement with President-elect Barack Obama. It reports Frank Giustra as giving between US$10–25 million.

In February 2007, a company called Uranium One agreed to pay US$3.1 billion to acquire UrAsia. Giustra, a director and major shareholder in UrAsia, would be paid $7.05 per share for a company that just two years earlier was trading at 10 cents per share.

In June 2007, Giustra joined with Clinton to launch the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership to address global poverty. Giustra committed $USD 100 million plus half of what he makes in the resource industry for the rest of his life. Carlos Slim Helú, the Mexican businessman and richest person in the world, made a matching contribution and Giustra is expected to enlist others in the Canadian resource industry.

==================================================

Oops....Giustra didn't mention he finalized a massively profitable transaction to buy uranium mines in Kazakhstan days AFTER he and Clinton dined with that nation’s president.

================================================

"Philanthropists" Clinton and Giustra also forgot to mention......

<><> (1) the head of the Kazakhstan agency that oversees the country’s mining, said that Secy of State Hillary Clinton pressured Kazakh officials to sell uranium assets to Giustra’s firm, and,

<><> (2) that Bill Clinton adviser Tim Phillips said Hillary would not meet with him until Kazakh officials agreed to Giustra’s nuclear deal.

Bill Clinton calculatedly went to Kazahstan during election time. He praised the candidate, a dictator who won w/ 90% of the vote---an obviously rigged election.

===================================================

(Snicker) So I guess Hillary never informed Obama that she was jerking around foreign policy WRT the sale of US uranium mines to a country dealing with Iran.

CONNECTING THE DOTS Then-Secy Hillary supposedly gave Haiti $3.1 billion tax dollars for Earthquake Relief.

But Haitian-American protesters claim that American aid to Haiti was a cover-for foreign governments to funnel kickbacks of hundreds of millions of dollars to The Clinton Foundation.

POINTS TO PONDER:

<><> As Secretary of State, Hillary devoted much of her time in 2010 to the Haiti recovery.

<><> The Clinon Family Foundation accepted Algeria’s $500,000 donation for Haitian earthquake relief in 2010, during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secy of State (at the same time Algeria rec'd millions in US foreign aid).

<><> Bill Clinton got his hands on hundreds of million of dollars while Hillary controlled the State Dept checkbook..... monies earmarked 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.

=================================================

Haitian protesters gathered outside the Clinton Foundation to complain about "missing money" from the US State Dept's recovery effort for the 2010 Haitian earthquake:

They protested the Clinton Foundation b/c it 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 and that much of the US money went to non-Haitian companies.

================================================

While Haitians were reeling from disaster, Hillary’s brother got a rare gold mining permit; the last permit Haiti issued was over fifty years before

NOTE: Giustra is considered an expert of gold issues---and is frequently quoted in the business media.
