A U.S. Spanish-language news network that lobbied Hillary Clinton’s State Department on U.S. policies toward Mexico reported on those policies without disclosing its lobbying expenditures and is covering the U.S. presidential election without informing views of its company’s donations to the Clinton Foundation.
The network, Azteca America, has employed two Clinton confidantes since late 2008 to lobby the State Department on various initiatives affecting U.S. relations with Mexico, where its parent company is based, during and after Clinton’s tenure at the head of the agency.
Mexican parent TV Azteca, a foundation associated with the company, and that foundation’s U.S. counterpart have together donated as much as $375,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to its website.
(snip)
Azteca hired the lobbying firm Ickes & Enright, itself a Clinton Foundation donor. Its principals, husband and wife Democratic powerbrokers Harold Ickes and Janice Enright, are long-time Clinton supporters, fundraisers, and aides.
Months before Azteca inked its contract, Ickes had helped run Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. Two months after Clinton stepped down as secretary of state, he revealed that he was advising Ready for Hillary, a pro-Clinton super PAC. He sits on the board of Priorities USA, another super PAC backing Clinton’s presidential bid, and the Center for American Progress, a group expected to play a key role in crafting Clinton’s policy positions.

Azteca entitiess might involve: (1) issuing phony statements of alleged payments that actually covered the transfer of Azteca bank funds--perhaps by wire transfer---to influence US govt officials.
L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of Azteca checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, cell phone records, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records.
L/E should also explore (a) monies Azteca paid to brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
================================================
Taxpayers demand the Bank Secrecy Act be mobilized if banking fraud is suspected. Banks holding Azteca monies should be scrutinized to determine the scope of practices that harmed banking officials, depositers, shareholders, banking clients.
L/E should scrutinize Azteca bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals. <><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC other accounts, to operate personal businesses, campaign funding. Financial fraud can also be facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intrabank transfers from foundation accounts into lobbying accounts.
<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support included payoffs----payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel and gifts from luxury outlets for US govt officials.

YOUR MESSAGE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT A US Spanish-language news network---Azteca America---lobbied Hillary Clinton’s State Department ---buying access WRT influencing US policies toward Mexico.
More egregiously, posing as a neutral agent, it then reported on those policies without disclosing its lobbying expenditures. Azteca America is now covering the US presidential election without informing viewers of its company’s donations to the Clinton Foundation.
ADDENDUM Azteca America, has employed two American Clinton confidantes since late 2008 to lobby the State Department on various initiatives affecting U.S. relations with Mexico, where its parent company is based....both during and after Clinton’s tenure as Secy of State. Azteca America has a Mexican parent-----TV Azteca, is a foundation associated with the company that has a U.S. counterpart.
Together these entities donated as much as $375,000 to the infamous Clinton Foundation, according to Azteca's website.
Joining Blumenthal and Stephanapolis, et al.
It's like a political Love Boat episode, with all the old near-forgotten stars of yesteryear appearing alongside the permanent crew.
Bad actor shenanigans ensue.
Ask your Sen/Cong to look into this ASAP.

GROUPS TAPPING INTO US TAX DOLLARS:
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
LA Raza--rec'd (1) Democrat earmarks, (2) US education tax dollars to operate La Raza schools teaching Aztec courses.
Mexico receives billions of US tax dollars under various State Dept programs. In addition, Congress appropriated $2.3 for "The Merida Initiative"----to fight organized crime and violence in Mexico, and to transform the bilateral security relationship.
A new State Department and DHS program doles out monies to illegal kids to be picked up and put on a plane, without paying a penny.....includes permanent residents and even illegals w/ work permit and deportation reprieves under Obama’s recent executive memos. Applicants include those under 21 living in El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras.

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO "HUMANITARIAN" US FOREIGN AID Former Guatemala Prez used US banks to launder foreign aid millions; was elected to "redistribute" the nation's wealth.
Alfonso Portillo---ex-president of Guatemala---faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.
Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kids.
Portillo colluded w/ corrupt C/A insiders---he personally endorsed three $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter.
The embezzled foreign aid money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.
<><> Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...
<><> plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator...
<><> through overdrafts financed by public reserves the pilfered foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates. (NY POST excerpt 5/28/13-- http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/former_guatemala_program_used_from_bJ7Akdr3YK85070OumW5FN)
