Clinton Foundation hit with racketeering lawsuit
Wash Examiner ^ | 5/27/15 | SARAH WESTWOOD

Posted on 05/27/2015 8:10:22 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation have been hit with a racketeering lawsuit in Florida court.

The lawsuit, filed by Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, includes a legal request to have the Florida judge seize the private server on which Hillary Clinton and her aides hosted their emails while she served as secretary of state.

Klayman has filed dozens of lawsuits against the Clintons and other prominent politicians.

The racketeering, influenced and corrupt organizations, or RICO, case alleges the former first couple and their family philanthropy traded political favors for donations or generous speaking fees for Bill Clinton while his wife was the nation's chief diplomat.

"Negotiations by email about influencing U.S. foreign policy or U.S. Government actions to benefit donors to ... The Clinton Foundation or sponsors of speaking engagements would not be captured on a U.S. Government email account because her emails would not be with a U.S. Government official," Klayman said in court documents obtained by the Washington Examiner.

"Hillary Clinton deleted 32,000 email messages from her email server that included her communications arranging, negotiating, and agreeing upon speaking engagements by Bill Clinton in return for large speaking fees and donations to The Clinton Foundation," the documents, dated May 20, said

It's a longshot, but here's hoping Mr. Klayman prevails and the Clintons lose everything they own stole.

Klayman is a jackass and a glory hound, but he also occasionally hits paydirt. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one.

I wish someone other than Klayman had filed the suit….or does file a suit in the future. Klayman is too easy to laugh off.

When I read this I heard the Beatles “Nowhere Man” playing in my head. Give it up Larry. Yes, we share your sentiments, but you’ve entered ambulance chasing lawyer status now.

The problem with Klayman filing the suit is that whatever follows will be tarred by him, just as any serious ‘birther’ suit was tainted by Taitz. This is not good news.

The RICO statutes have provisions that will do exactly that.

Expect the server and hard drives to be reported missing…which they probably are, having been dumped somewhere far out in the Atlantic.

Nay, far too much information on these hard drives to blackmail, extort, smear, demonize people to dump in the ocean...

I'm sure they are somewhere safe and sound relatively easy to access if needed...to make sure Hillary is the nominee...
