On March 20, 2013, William P. Franklin, an “intl realty specialist” at the State Department under then Secy Hillary emailed an American diplomat stationed in Africa, instructing her to “put on (official) station letterhead” an “expression of interest” in purchasing property at Eko Atlantic, a massive real estate development off the coast of Lagos...... Franklin instructed that the signed letter was to be “delivered to Ronald Chagoury.”

REFERENCE---An Associated Press report found that more than half of Clinton’s meetings or phone calls with government outsiders were conducted with donors for the Clinton Foundation. And Clinton’s ties with Lebanese-Nigerian donor Gilbert Chagoury deserved heightened scrutiny.

“The fact a major Clinton Foundation donor was denied entry into the U.S. over ties to the terrorist group Hezbollah is deeply troubling, especially when this individual had access to top aides at Hillary Clinton’s State Department.”

"Several of the documents showed that the Department of State considered buying land for a U.S. Embassy in Nigeria from Chagoury after Clinton’s tenure ended. Clinton’s ties to Chagoury, who donated more than $1 million to the Clinton Foundation, raised several red flags after it came to light that Chagoury had been denied entry into the U.S. last year because of a suspected affiliation with Hezbollah through Lebanese politics."

MONTAGE---hat tip NY post

oh but you forget “Not One Member of the Clinton Family ever took a Salary from the foundation”

( private jets, resort Hotel Suites, lavish dinners, Ski holidays, etc, etc are just reimbursables )

I said on another thread, that the Laureate money was what stood out the most to me.

“Laureate pays President Clinton $3.5 million annually to provide advice and serve as their Honorary Chairman.”

That sounds like it goes straight to him personally, not to the foundation, etc.

They got money straight from the donors then money to GCI.That is how they don’t get salaries.

” Hezbollah”

This must have warmed Hillary’s heart to hear this....it likely closed the deal!

(plus the money)

Clinton’s ties with Lebanese-Nigerian donor Gilbert Chagoury deserved heightened scrutiny.

Where there's third world corruption to exploit you'll find the Clintons sniffin' around. Like a moth to flame they're drawn to it.

Some of the emails about him.....the money went straight to him on one deal....then 55mil in payments over 5 years. Forget which email that was.

Most money that went to foundation, state dept or taxpayer money went to whoever at the time donated to them. 6billion missing from state.....now we know where it went.
