Gov McAuliffe Invited Chinese Donor to Hillary’s Home (donor gave Clinton Foundation $2 million)

Wang Wenliang, a Chinese national briefly shook Clinton’s hand at a 2013 fund-raiser in her home;a separate Wang company pledged $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation, the first of several totaling $2 million.

The Clinton fundraiser was one of at least three interactions between Wang and McAuliffe. McAuliffe initially said he could not remember ever meeting Wang, though he later clarified that his staff had informed him of several likely meetings.

Among the donations of DOJ interestwere a total of $120,000 in contributions to McAuliffe from a company controlled by Wang. DOJ told McAuliffe's attorney there were questions over foreign sources of personal income and whether McAuliff lobbied on behalf of foreign interests without registering as a foreign agent.

According to Wang’s representative, a second meeting between McAuliffe and Wang took place in Richmond after McAuliffe’s election to discuss an expansion of a soybean export agreement between Wang and the state. The third meeting took place before McAuliffe became governor, at a dinner in Washington organized by former SC Gov. Jim Hodges, who is registered as a federal lobbyist for one of Wang’s companies.

In 2012, Fung appeared with Hodges in a video news report for Chinese TV from the DNC convention in Charlotte, N.C., discussing the strategies for winning US political influence. “If you really want to influence, let’s say, U.S.-China policy it is almost worth it to have emphasis and influence on the state level,” he said in the report.

Wang’s representative also said that Wang met twice with former President Bill Clinton to discuss the Clinton foundation, once in the US, and once when Clinton was visiting China.

The Clinton campaign did not respond to requests for comment. A spokesman for McAuliffe confirmed both the fundraising meeting and a subsequent meeting in Richmond to discuss soybean exports.

About six months ago....some reporter asked Hillary about what she thought about the Pacific trade deal and the TTP deal with Europe (yet to be concluded), and she just instantly went to a “I don’t know nothing about either answer”.

I thought at the time...it was an odd way to answer the question. Looking back....she probably gave Wang insider information on both, and gave the Chinese an advantage to the table on how to deal with Europe later.

Course, maybe she is an idiot and never followed either trade agreement, but you’d think as Sec of State....it’d be on the top five priorities of her ‘watch’.

The clintonistas have always been connected to the Chinese. Remember that the hildabeast was on the board at Wal Mart. She pushed to get better connections with the Chineses and now Wal Mart is nothing but a store front for Chinese goods.

Also as co president, didn’t Billary give China permanent trading status? I don’t recall the exact terminology.

The clintonistas are Chinas best pals.
