Clintons got $81 million from HSBC tax-avoidance figures
Hot Air ^ | Feb 10, 2015 | Ed Morrissey

The charitable foundation run by Hillary Clinton and her family has received as much as $81m from wealthy international donors who were clients of HSBC’s controversial Swiss bank.

Leaked files from HSBC’s Swiss banking division reveal the identities of seven donors to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation with accounts in Geneva.

Hillary Clinton has expressed concern over growing economic inequality in the US and is expected to make the issue a cornerstone of her widely anticipated presidential campaign in 2016. However, political observers are increasingly asking whether the former secretary of state’s focus on wealth inequality sits uncomfortably with the close relationships she and her husband have nurtured with some of the world’s richest individuals.

Another Clinton foundation donor who had a HSBC account in the tax haven is Jeffrey Epstein, the hedge fund manager and convicted sex offender who once flew the former president on his private jet for charity events in Africa.

Exactly. This is the bank that was busted LAUNDERING DRUG MONEY. Comey got $15 Million for slow walking them through a bargain basement settlement. Lynch helped set it up. Hillary cashed the checks.

Just another episode in the longest running filth opera in history, The Clinton’s.

HSBC. Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation.
Formed immediately after the first opium war to facilitate the opium trade.

A shady organization on day one. Comey was on the board of directors.

Lest we forget. While Comey was on the board of directors.
Any questions on our corrupt FBI?

“In 2012 a US Senate report described the bank as having a “pervasively polluted” culture that saw it allow drug kingpins, rogue nations and terrorists to move hundreds of millions of dollars around the financial system. US prosecutors said that deposits at Mexican branches were so frequent that drug traffickers used boxes that were designed to fit perfectly through the teller windows. HSBC apologized, pledged to reform its procedures and paid a $1.9bn settlement to US authorities. “

A little more details and facts about HSBC and the American Ruling Class for anyone interested.

https://hendersonlefthook.wordpress.com/2014/09/13/hsbc-the-worlds-dirtiest-bank/

The American families Perkins, Astor and Forbes made millions off the opium trade. The Perkins’ founded Bank of Boston, which is today known as Credit Suisse First Boston. The Perkins and Morgan families endowed Harvard University. William Hathaway Forbes was a director at Hong Kong Shanghai Bank shortly after it was founded in 1866. John Murray Forbes was the US agent for the Barings banking family, which financed most of the early drug trade. The Forbes family heirs later launched Forbes magazine. Steve Forbes ran for President in 1996. John Jacob Astor invested his opium proceeds in Manhattan real estate and worked for British intelligence. The Astor family home in London sits opposite Chatham House.

This article is from 18 months ago. Clintons will say ‘it is old news, we’ve already been over this, it’s been looked into, independent experts have concluded that nothing untoward was ever found, it is just more lies from the VRWC, I’ve been exonerated, everybody does it...”
