Michele Bachmann: Clinton Foundation is “An International Money Laundering Ring”

The Clinton Foundation has come under scrutiny over the past few months with the scandal concerning Hillary Clinton's personal email server being used for State Department business. This week, Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann said the Clinton Foundation was nothing more than an international money laundering ring.

In speaking with Newsmax TV, Bachmann said, "This is the most transparent family in the United States, right? The woman who won't hand over her server, who wasn't supposed to do her government work on that server in the first place, who violated department rules… who, in all likelihood, probably violated US federal rules, which have criminal penalties, and also prohibits her from running for office again."

"Then she decided on her on how many tens of thousands of emails she would delete," Bachmann continued. "So, we know from her past history as the Secretary of State, columnists…. In DC have called Mrs. Clinton a congenital, serial liar. So, in all likelihood, she hasn't changed her stripes."

Bachmann then added, "This Clinton Foundation, which is, in effect, an international money laundering ring to benefit the Clintons personally… remember this is tax-exempt, so it is the easiest way to get big dollars in the Clinton world, where they literally fly around the world on private jets and live the life of potentates. It's really a heady lifestyle to be used to as President of the United States flying around on Air Force One. They really don't like to give up that lifestyle."

So what's the best way for the Clinton's to continue that sort of lifestyle? According to Bachmann, it's to start an international foundation in order for people who believe that it is for a specific cause to give money, when it is really to help a couple of Arkansas Marxists live like a king and queen.

"They use poor people as human shields for their pompous lifestyle," Bachmann concluded.

The Federalist agrees with Bachmann's assessment:

Multiple Canadian tax and privacy law experts contacted by The Federalist, the Washington Post, and BloombergPolitics said there was no such blanket prohibition on public disclosure of charitable donor identities. While Canada does include a ban on the release of donor information in the course of commercial activity, it specifically exempts fundraising from that definition. And because the public disclosure of a donor's name doesn't include any transaction or consideration, it's not considered to be commercial activity.

…

The Clinton Foundation's deliberate misinterpretation of Canadian privacy law in order to rationalize its secrecy raises several questions, chief among them: why? Why go to all this effort to hide years' worth of million-dollar donations from foreign citizens and foreign governments? Donations which were almost certainly being made while Hillary Clinton was serving as Secretary of State, and almost certainly with the intent to influence her decisions?

The answer is an easy one, albeit one that is highly uncomfortable: for the past several years, the Clinton Foundation has basically been a foreign money-laundering operation. The scheme works like this: collect millions of dollars in foreign money, dump it into a foreign charity, pretend that the law prohibits you from ever disclosing the identities of those foreign donors to the foreign charity, then have the foreign charity bundle all the cash and send it to the Clinton Foundation. Then, when the time comes–whether it be a Clinton Foundation conference or a lavish Clinton Foundation trip overseas–make sure those individuals get some me-time with the Clintons.

While the video is courtesy of the knuckleheads over at Right Wing Watch, the reality is probably a lot more sinister than even Bachmann imagines. I agree with her assessment that the Clintons are using the Clinton Foundation and the money that is contributed to it for their own personal use and lifestyle, there is probably much more going on behind the scenes than even she realizes. Clinton didn't delete 30,000 emails just to fund a lifestyle.

The Clinton Foundation is not only tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, but even Clinton's own aide, Huma Abedin, is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and is facing a lawsuit to disclose her emails during Clinton's time at the State Department.

There's more going on here than meets the eye.

HOORAY Michele! America’s Greatest Crime Families ALERT!

[Liz]

The Clintons' cadre of puckered-up ***-kissers (lying-in-wait for federal jobs)---are spinning the explosive "Clinton Cash" revelations like crazy----blathering about "not a shred of evidence" of criminal wrongdoing, or as ABC's George Stephanopoulos helpfully repeated over the weekend, "There's no smoking gun."

The party-line is that "it’s extremely difficult to identify a direct quid pro quo"....b/c while Hillary was Secy of State, foreign funny money was moving around from hand to hand with big money deals approved which she could say were going to be approved anyway.

And golly, gee.....at the same time, all that foreign money was flowing into the "charitable Clinton Foundation"..... not into Hillary’s bank account (/snicker).

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

THE CLINTON MO---rather than taking cash from blatantly illegal activities (THAT WE KNOW OF TO DATE) and then cleaning it through legitimate businesses, the cunning Clinton Foundation:

<><> (1) mops up cash from wealthy foreigners,

<><> (2) bundles it within a larger organization to hide the money’s original source, and,

<><> (3) funnels the cash from that legitimate charity into the Clinton Foundation coffers.

<><> money-laundering is an intense 24/7 operation.

LOOKING THROUGH THE WRONG END OF THE TELESCOPE The Buckraking Clinton Foundation sucking up foreign donations is morally reprehensible----but the real crimes are what exactly they are doing with the corporate/foreign monies once its in their Foundation's tax-exempt coffers.

So how'd they do that? Remember, Wall Street makes money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watchers weigh-in.

EXHIBIT ONE--- Dec 05, 2011---Fox News Report: Bill Clinton Reaped Big Bucks from Corzine Firm Before Collapse--- MF Global Employee Links Clinton to the Bankrupt Firm

A former MF Global employee accused former president Bill Clinton of collecting $50,000 per month through his Teneo advisory firm in the months before the brokerage careened towards its Halloween filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, reports Human Events.

Teneo was hired by MF Global’s former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his connections with Clinton’s political family, said the employee, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared retribution, according to Hum/Events. Teneo is a dual-track company with one side devoted to merchant and investment banking and the other side set up to provide image and strategy consulting services. Clinton is the chairman of the company’s advisory board, reports Hum/Events.

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

EXHIBIT TWO--Then-Secy of State Hillary gave her close aide, Huma Abedin, “State Dept special status".....Abedin was working for Hillary at State....... AND simultaneously working for Bill Clinton, as a private contractor for his company, Teneo Holdings.

Abedin, reportedly had private email addresses on the Clinton email server system (underlining Democrats' greatest fear: the intersection of undisclosed foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton’s secret email address. Huma Abedin's sweetheart deal: (1) an outside private six-figure consultant at the State Department, and, (2) “special government employee” status, and worked a sideline---as a private contractor.

One of Huma's clients was Bill Clinton's Company----Teneo Holdings----self-described as a dual-track political/banking consulting firm that calls itself the “next chapter in strategic advisory.”

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

EXHIBIT THREE---An earlier NYT's expose tarred Bill Clinton w/ Teneo's sub rosa dealings. Teneo is run by Clinton aide---Doug Band. Prosecutors found Band and Clinton listed in pedophile's Jeffry Epsteiin's records as having a shocking 21 email addresses and tele nos. Can you say money laundering? L/E recognizes multiple phone nos and email as the classic MO for money- laundering and tax evasion.

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

EXHIBIT FOUR---Chelsea's husband runs a hedge fund that gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons---even as reports surfaced that Mezvinsky's hedge fund had "underwhelming" returns.

The WSJ reports extensively on the fund's underperformance since its inception and Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs colleagues — Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon — began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund. Some of Eaglevale's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton."

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

EXHIBIT FIVE-- The eternal Clinton/Goldman Sachs connection. Then-Pres Clinton's WH aide Rahm Emanuel also worked as a Goldman Sachs lobbyist.....both at the same time

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

Here's Hillary cozying up to Goldman Sachs.

Then-US Sens Clinton and Corzine. Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs
executive suite, buying his NJ Senate seat office for $65 million; then buying
the NJ governorship. Out of office, he ran a hedge fund where $1.5 B went missing.
