Here’s a practical question:

Different sorts of favors require different amounts of bribes.

As an ex-small-businessman, how much should I be expected to cough up for access? Is it 100K? Or less, but be a bundler and chip in a million?

How much did the Solyndra people put in? How does that compare with what Lippo or the Red Chinese gave Bill when he was in the WH? Why did Giustra pay so much?

Questions, many questions. There ought to be some sort of compendium of bribery for the uninitiated, so we can understand how political influence is bought and sold. It seems like an understudied area of civics to me.

Of course not. The liberals in the State Department know that she is corrupt and don’t care if she broke the law.

In a corruptocracy, the first thing to go is the rule of law.

The democrat state has decided not to investigate the democrat foundation, because, hey, democrats are incorruptable. They are the only fair, balanced, and morally superior people out there...

At the Clinton Global Initiative event now taking place in Marrakesh, Bill Clinton was asked why he isn't defending the Clinton Foundation from increased scrutiny.

The question came from billionaire supporter Mo Ibrahim: "I opened the newspaper and I was shocked to see these attacks on the foundation." The billionaire continued, " What is this money for? What have you done with it?"

"I just work here," Clinton responded. "I don't know."

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

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

So let's get this straight. Ignoramus Bill Clinton got on a plane that happened to be flying to far-off Kazakhstan but brain-dead Clinton had no idea the place had uranium mines. So, just by chance, dopey Clinton met w/ the Kazhak dictator. It was strictly "dumb luck" that Clinton knew Kahzak govt approvals were needed.

Ignoramus Bill Clinton in Kazahstan--during election time
lavi$hly prai$ing a dictator who then signed off on the mine
deal b/c he's just a nice guy.

As Judge Judy might say to Bill Clinton:

Tell me about the conversation you had w/ uranium businessman Frank Giustra about uranium mines in Kazkhstan.

How did you know Giustra was looking to get govt approvals to buy uranium mines?

How did you know about getting govt approvals?

What did you say to Giustra? What did he say to you?

BACKSTORY--In September 2005, mining magnate Frank Giustra flew Clinton to Kazakhstan as part of a three-country philanthropic tour. Clinton praised the candidate ---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 May 2007 Giustra was one of four chairs of the 2006 Global Leadership Awards dinner in New York where Clinton was honoured along with out-going UN Secy General Kofi Annan.

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. (SOURCE: WIKI)

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