A few months after Hillary Clinton took over as U.S. secretary of state in 2009, a longtime associate with connections to the Clinton Foundation insisted that her senior aides give a job to an unidentified male associate.
“Important to take care of [name redacted],” Douglas Band, President Bill Clinton’s former right-hand man, wrote to Clinton aides Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, and Nora Toiv in an April 22, 2009, email.
“We have all had him on our radar,” Abedin responded. “Personnel has been sending him options.”
The subject line on the email read “A favor…”
The email exchanged was uncovered by government watchdog group Judicial Watch, and was the result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. It’s the latest example of the kind of cronyism that was rife at the State Department under Hillary Clinton’s watch.
Band served as a top aide to former President Bill Clinton and assisted in creating the Clinton Global Initiative. He is also a founding partner of Teneo, a global consulting firm that obtained approval from the State Department for a paid consulting arrangement between Bill Clinton and Band.
Teneo is the same firm where Mrs. Clinton longtime right-hand woman Huma Abedin worked as a senior adviser. Abedin was advising Teneo while working as a senior Clinton aide at the State Department.
While she was secretary of state, Hillary Clinton also handpicked Teneo co-founder and CEO Declan Kelly as her economic envoy to Northern Ireland.
In a separate email exchange, Band emailed Abedin and Mills requesting help connecting Clinton Foundation mega-donor Gilbert Chagoury with the State Department’s “substance person” on Lebanon affairs. Abedin later promised to contact the “substance person” about the request.
“This is very important,” Band replied, noting the urgency of the request.

Yes but Gov McDonald of VA got convicted for less.
If ithe name of the beneficiary is known (wiki leaks?) and it could be shown the action got enacted after the emails were sent, that is the end of Hillary’s political lcareer (at a minimum) - in even a half-sane country.

Democrats are above the law hell Bill has five rapes under his belt and is still free.
With one important distinction... The Clinton Foundation is not a campaign or PAC, so is not bound by campaign finance law... it is essentially being used as a money laundering apparatus.
>... it is essentially being used as a money laundering apparatus.
Which IS against the Law (IE: The People).
OK, so is the FBI on this case or are we just blowing smoke up each others butt on this issue like all the other Clinton activities?
Speaking of convictions for less, Jim Wright resigned as Speaker in 1989 for this...
On May 31, 1989, James C. Wright became the first Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives to resign from office because of scandal. Meanwhile, every one of her “speaking fees” exceeded the total amount Wright received. She and her stinking husband collected billions through their fraudulent “charity.”
The unravelling of the Texas Democrat’s 34-year congressional career began with a year-long House ethics committee investigation of his finances, which resulted in a finding that Wright might have violated House rules in 69 instances. The charges centered around $145,000 in possibly improper gifts Wright and his wife had received from a Fort Worth developer, and the profits from a collection of Wright’s speeches that allegedly were sold in bulk in lieu of speaking fees that were limited by House rules.
