New Emails: Clintons State Department Gave Special Access to Foundation Donors
The true nature of the Clinton Foundation becomes ever clearer with each discovery of withheld emails.
This week we released 725 pages of State Department documents that include email exchanges in which Hillary Clintons top aide Huma Abedin provided influential Clinton Foundation donors special, expedited access to the secretary of state.
In one flagrant example, the Crown Prince of Bahrain was forced to go through the Clinton Foundation to get access to the secretary of state. He got it after pledging $32 million to the Clinton Global Initiative.
The new documents included 20 Hillary Clinton email exchanges not previously turned over to the State Department, bringing the known total to date to 191 of new Clinton emails (not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over to the State Department). These records further appear to contradict statements by Clinton that, as far as she knew, all of her government emails were turned over to the State Department.
The Abedin emails reveal that she apparently served as a conduit between Clinton Foundation donors and Hillary Clinton while Clinton served as secretary of state. In more than a dozen email exchanges, Abedin provided expedited, direct access to Clinton for donors who had contributed from $25,000 to $10 million. In many instances, Clinton Foundation top executive Doug Band, who worked with the Foundation throughout Hillary Clintons tenure at State, coordinated closely with Abedin. In Abedins June deposition to Judicial Watch, she conceded that part of her job at the State Department was taking care of Clinton family matters .
Among the Abedin-Band emails is an exchange revealing that when Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain requested a meeting with Clinton, he was forced to go through the Clinton Foundation for an appointment. Abedin advised Band that when she went through normal channels at State, Clinton declined to meet. After Band intervened, however, the meeting was set up within forty-eight hours.
According to the Clinton Foundation website , in 2005, Salman committed to establishing the Crown Princes International Scholarship Program (CPISP) for the Clinton Global Initiative. And by 2010, it had contributed $32 million to CGI. The Kingdom of Bahrain reportedly gave between $50,000 and $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. And Bahrain Petroleum also gave an additional $25,000 to $50,000.

Also included among the Abedin-Band emails is an exchange in which Band urged Abedin to get the Clinton State Department to intervene in order to obtain a visa for members of the Wolverhampton (UK) Football Club, one of whose members was apparently having difficulty because of a criminal charge. Band was acting at the behest of Casey Wasserman, a millionaire Hollywood sports entertainment executive and President of the Wasserman Foundation. Wasserman has donated between $5 million and $10 million to the Clinton Foundation through the Wasserman Foundation.
The Abedin emails also reveal that Slimfast tycoon S. Daniel Abraham was granted almost immediate access to then-Secretary of State Clinton, with Abedin serving as the facilitator. According to the Clinton Foundation website, Abraham, like the Wasserman Foundation, has given between $5 million and $10 million to the Clinton Foundation. The emails indicate that Abraham was granted almost immediate access to Clinton upon request.
Additional Abedin emails in which the top Clinton aide intervenes with the State Department on behalf of Clinton Foundation donors include the following:
The newly obtained Abedin emails also contain a memorandum sent to Cheryl Mills from State Department White House liaison Laura Pena revealing that Rajiv Fernando was proposed for his controversial appointment to the sensitive International Security Advisory Board as early as June 2009. Fernando was not actually appointed until 2011, and his appointment raised a firestorm because, according to an ABC News report, he had no obvious experience in the field. Fernando donated $1 million to the Clinton Foundation.
The Abedin emails reveal that even U2s Bono got into the act when former Bill Clinton aide Ben Schwerin, who helped set up the Clinton Foundation, urged Abedin to help the aging rock star broadcast from the international space station. In a May 27, 2009, email with the subject line Bono/NASA, Schwerin wrote, Bono wants to do linkup with the international space station on every show during the tour this year. Any ideas? Thks. Bono has been a donor to the Clinton Global Initiative. And in 2011, he gathered top entertainers for A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation. According to USA Today, Some tickets were sold to the public for $50 to $550, and premium seats went for $1,000 to $5,000 on the Foundation website.
This is the tenth set of records produced for Judicial Watch by the State Department from the non-state.gov email accounts of Huma Abedin. The documents were produced under a court order in a May 5, 2015, Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit against the State Department ( Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00684)) requiring the agency to produce all emails of official State Department business received or sent by former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin from January 1, 2009 through February 1, 2013, using a non-state.gov email address.
Hillary Clinton has repeatedly stated that she believes that the 55,000 pages of documents she turned over to the State Department in December 2014 included all of her work-related emails. In response to a court order in other Judicial Watch litigation, she declared under penalty of perjury that she had directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or are potentially federal records be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done. This new email find is also at odds with her official campaign statement suggesting all work or potentially work-related emails were provided to the State Department.
In these emails we are seeing the most blatant abuse ever of a cabinet office. Hillary Clinton turned the State Department into a global revenue stream that enriched her private interests with millions of ill-gotten dollars. The scope of this pay-for-play corruption is simply staggering.
The release of this material caused another national firestorm, with lead stories in the Washington Post , New York Times, and widespread television news coverage. Liberals and conservatives have called for special prosecutors and for the Clinton Foundation to be shut down. Yet, incredibly, JW made even more news than this on the Clinton email story this past week.

Off the Wall Ping!

Who cares on several levels; 1] those who will not vote for her still won’t, 2] those who do support her will do so no matter what,3] the dept. of [IN]justice will not do anything under this current admin.,4] the next admin will just sweep this under the carpet, because they want to start with a clean slate in order to push their agenda/s, 5] once again that “woman” has gotten away with more blood on her hands & no one will do anything about her...
PAY TO PLAY == the motto of the Clinton Foundation.
The best part about true criminals is they lose the perspective that what they are doing is, indeed, criminal. This leads to pot smokers lighting up in front of cops and being outraged when they get arrested. It lead Vice President Spiro Agnew to brag to reporters about how much graft he had collected. (Apparently, he was surprised when this became such a big deal he had to resign.)
Hillary is aware of the problem and this is probably why she is so guarded. Most likely her primary thought before opening her mouth is, “Am I about to admit to a crime?” I heard the interview where she laughed about getting the rapist of the 12 year old off with time served. It was her typical, and, I think, evil, scratchy laugh. That’s the real Hillary.
Any Republican doing a fraction of these things would be forced to resign from the campaign by the howls from the jackal media. Hillary is not only corrupt but a criminal and nothing but crickets
Later
Well said...Completely agree, she’s very guarded on everything she says and tries to laugh things off as if they’re trivial matters when in fact they aren’t.
Blood always must be paid back with blood. What she gives out will come back to her 1,000 fold. It is destiny, rule, law, karma, whatever one wishes to label it. It is coming back to her. Her father, satan protects her now but won’t always. When he no longer needs her, she will fall as fast and as hard as the universe will allow.
Criminals...treason. In a country with a Rule of Law there would be a run on guillotine stocks.
Yeah but this stuff may sway the undecideds which is probably how Trump will win.
Yeah, the rape case, I hope Trump or a PAC comes out with a scathing ad about that just before the election when it’s too late to sic the Clinton spin doctors on it.
Corruption Central.
If Mrs. Clinton doesn’t have the gumption nor integrity to remove herself from this election, think what is coming should she win.....a known criminal in the Oval Office, persons (the Clinton Crime Family) above the Law, no use for the US Constitution or those laws.....no American can phantom what it would be like to live a life deprived of our comforts....like Kleenex to electricity to toilet paper for the Lords sake....Mrs. Clinton is tearing this nation apart and will continue if ever she ever gets in that office. What a vile woman..........
This is beyond pay for play. This is whoring out the SOS's office.
Before the Watergate scandal, Teapot Dome was regarded as the "greatest and most sensational scandal in the history of American politics." So just how big was this scandal by the cabinet member? Fall made about $7 million in today's dollars.
How much have the Clintons scammed through their bogus foundations? Maybe $1 billion? And that doesn't even count selling out the United States and its security. The breadth of this Clinton scandal is breathtaking. But nobody seems to care.
Who did all the investigative work in Teapot Dome? Democrat Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, the most junior minority member, led a lengthy inquiry. For two years, Walsh pushed forward while Fall stepped backward, covering his tracks as he went. No evidence of wrongdoing was initially uncovered as the oil leases were legal enough, but records kept disappearing mysteriously [similar to "lost" emails or Rose law firm billing records]. Fall had made the leases appear legitimate, but his acceptance of the money was his undoing. By 1924, the remaining unanswered question was how Fall had become so rich so quickly and easily.
Thomas James Walsh (June 12, 1859 March 2, 1933) was a lawyer and Democratic Party politician from Helena, Montana who represented Montana in the United States Senate from 1913 to 1933. He had a national reputation as a liberal and was President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt's choice as Attorney General when he died.
Interesting comparison to today:
W.J. Clinton leaves office and his wife claims they were "broke and penniless." They quickly rise to become near-billionaires. And almost nobody is interested why or how this happened.
The moral backbone of the country has completely corroded away in 90 years.
Bump!
RICO, RICO, RICO!!!
