McCain Institute for International Leadership executives refuse to disclose how much money big donors have contributed to the nonprofit that’s named after Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

[snip]“McCain-Feingold” — that required public disclosure of all contributions of at least $250 in federal elections.

Spokesmen for the McCain Institute and for the Arizona State University (ASU) Foundation — where the nonprofit’s finances are held — refused to divulge any dollar amounts from big ticket donors despite repeated requests by TheDCNF.

While reading page 15 of 44 of the 2014 filing, the third entry is for the Eranda Foundation.

According to DuckDuckGo search the name "Eranda Foundation", there is more to the McCain Life Story:

Sir Evelyn de Rothschild established the Foundation in 1967 and called it ERANDA. The name had been created by his father, Anthony de Rothschild...

John McCain is a man of the people....rich people.

If President Trump, hopefully, does issue the 1st EO mentioned in the article, then all McCain will have for medical insurance is Medicare, Tricare for Life (which acts as the medigap insurance for retired military) and the VA. However, he does have his wife’s fortune to pay cash for his medical treatment, which nearly all of us don’t have.

McCain has one big difference over Debbie Wassermann Schultz - he betrays those on his side of the aisle.

What I am getting from this story is that they are all using the foundation scam to hide obvious quid pro quo donations.

That is why they are all so incurious about Hillary’s foundation.

(SNIFF SNIFF)

Starting to smell a lot like the Clinton Crime Family, which of course took a LOT of contributions both from foreign governments and generous offerings by the international George Soros “charitable” agencies.

Big donations = big influence.

The McCain Institute is funded by anti-Americans so the traitor John McCain will do their anti-American bidding.

Time to mobilize the Bank Secrecy Act----to follow the paper trail of US govt disbursements, and determine how govt monies changes hands.

Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of government insiders ability to collude in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting.

<><> L/E needs to examine (a) the McCain Institute, (b) the Arizona State University (ASU) Foundation — where McCain's nonprofit finances are held, and, (c) their respective bank accounts.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer govt funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover their tracks, fake govt invoices might be created to show that govt money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate govt purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of govt funds for insiders' personal use and/or for offshore schemes.

===============================================

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.

=============================================

<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of McCain Institute checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) McCain Institute monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize McCain Institute bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures---or to finance campaign activities (and/or other redistribution schemes favored by the WH).

Tax fraud may also be a factor; facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from DHS accounts into personal accounts, campaign accounts, or into redistribution schemes.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses (and campaign activities, or other redistribution schemes).

=================================================

Taxpayers demand the Bank Secrecy Act be used to prosecute govt fraud, and nonprofit fraud, pronto.
