'Brown, the African-American Democrat who represented Jacksonville, Florida, for many years, was convicted last year in a case that in dollar terms pales by comparison with the Clinton Foundation. The latter began in 1997 as the former president’s library but became the $2 billion entity described by one nonprofit expert as “the biggest charity fraud ever.”

That expert is Charles Ortel, who told LifeZette Sunday he expects former FBI Director James “Comey will rat out Hillary and the Clintons faster than [Olympic sprinter] Usain Bolt runs the 100-meter dash. Both Clintons will be convicted, bigly” in 2018.

The New York-based investment banker-turned-nonprofit-fraud-investigator first came to public attention in 2007 by exposing fraudulent accounting practices at General Electric and other major corporations and for warning of the then-approaching economic crisis that became the Great Recession of 2008.

Ortel since 2015 has exhaustively documented multiple instances of what he believes are the Clinton Foundation’s many major violations of charitable law and regulations, including most significantly operating international medical and disaster relief programs in violation of the nonprofit’s tax-exempt charter granted by the IRS.

He also believes former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, especially during her tenure as President Barack Obama’s secretary of State from 2009 to 2013, used the family foundation as a vehicle for selling their influence and becoming wealthy in the process, thanks in great part to the lack of politically independent regulation of charities soliciting funds and operating programs in multiple countries around the globe.

Ortel claims “the sad truth is that international charities are perfect vehicles for influence-peddling, and for financial mischief, especially when they are overseen by conflicted directors/trustees, and ‘audited’ by under-resourced professional firms.”'.... much more..

Until this beotch is prosecuted, there is NO rule of law or equal justice left in this country. Instead, we have a sucky two-tiered system: one for the “elites” and one for the “unwashed masses”.

You can’t put that White Lady in jail. You just can’t. Corrine Brown is a different story.

Hillary has the cover of being a part of the Kenyanesian Usurpation, Brown did not.

All of the participants of the crimes of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will not be prosecuted because EVERYONE in the District of Corruption (Trump excepted) is complicit in that treason.

Potential wedge issue within the Democrat Party.

Need one heckler in every crowd at every astroturf demonstration:

"If you Brown you go down, while the White B***h get Rich!"

Meaning of course that the Democrat party is a racist plantation...

Scooter Libby, Martha Stewart, Manafort, Flynn, Popadopolis, all nailed for perjury, but Comey made sure that when the FBI questioned HRC, she was not under oath.

If HRC goes scott-free, it will be clear that we do live in a banana republic.

>>the question will be raised about why she is in jail — but Hillary Clinton remains free.

Because Hillary has more and better black-dirt on the D.C. Good-ol-boy Pizza club than Brown?

>>The New York-based investment banker-turned-nonprofit-fraud-investigator first came to public attention in 2007

LOL.

And Penny Pritzker was made Secretary of Commerce after her Chicago Family-Owned Superior Bank went belly up due to its adventures in Subprime ACORN Farming.

Looking for lawful logic and reason in the Banana Republic is a fruitless effort.

From the piece, bolding supplied...

That expert is Charles Ortel, who told LifeZette Sunday he expects former FBI Director James “Comey will rat out Hillary and the Clintons faster than [Olympic sprinter] Usain Bolt runs the 100-meter dash. Both Clintons will be convicted, bigly” in 2018.

This is close to one of my two big Clinton predictions for 2018. I suspect, "bigly" if you will, that the Clintons' tentacles of crime were so far reaching, and leave so many accomplices in jeopardy of conviction of serious crimes, that there could be a foot race to the authorities to flip (while the flippin's good.)

The other prediction?

Easy, the Clinton's will separate and announce a divorce, and blame President Trump and the VRWC. Thus, they will of course be...

...victims.

I hope Chortel, for his sake, is checking off his, bucket list. Speaking ill of the Clinton’s is not a healthy endeavor, unless you have the US Secret Service surrounding you.

You really can’t isolate the Clintons from the Soetoro Regime. Even with scalpel precision, once the Clinton tumor intrudes into the Obama host, the host would also have to be excised. We can’t have that, and the Clintons openly hide behind that cover. If the email server gambit goes to full conclusion, it will reveal Barry’s involvement and equal abuse of the private server under his pseudonym. If Uranium One is fully exposed, it brings in Barry’s direct involvement. We can’t have any of that. We may as well pursue the unsolved death of Donald Young, Larry Sinclair, a phony birth certificate, a transgendered first lady, or no pictures of Michelle pregnant....it all goes nowhere....on purpose.

simple answer to why nothing on Clintons / Obama

They have all the NSA illegal recordings and can blackmail anyone at any time even relatives if they want to...

Late in watching the film Snowden, but it turned out to be very revealing if in fact the program depicted existed and was used in the ways portrayed...

The Clintons would not have committed these crimes if it weren’t for global warming.

To be fair, there are reasons why Brown is going to jail and Hillary isn't. Mostly experience, power and influence.

Hillary's been scamming for decades, with the help of some of the shrewdest con artists in the business.

She may not practice law, but she knows how to exploit its loopholes and avoid liabilities. She knows people who know shell corporations and offshore accounts, how to hide transactions and make documents disappear.

And if problems arise, she knows people who make problems go away.

In short, Hillary's corrupt but she's not stupid.

Brown's just a local small-timer, she probably was dumb enough to sign incriminating documents and involve herself directly in corruption.

Wall Street financial expert Charles Ortel claims the Clinton Foundation is the “largest unprosecuted charity fraud in world history.” He also says this global fraud could not be pulled off without a lot of help. Ortel explains, “I think this is an example of a vast left-wing conspiracy. If you go back into the history, the Clintons always like to expose the things that go down for their credit, and they always try to hide the stuff that doesn’t make them look so good. When you go back into the history of the Clintons, Bill and Hillary, and now Chelsea, have been monetizing government service. They have been operating as Robin Hood in reverse. Stealing from the poor to reward their rich cronies. . . . I think what you have here is a case study on the proponents of the Clinton wing of the Democratic Party, and they tend to be left-leaning, how these people got together and figured out a charity where foreigners can give unlimited amounts of money, and U.S. players can give unlimited amounts of tax deductible money to an entity. This could be a preferred vehicle for strengthening the Clinton wing of the Democratic Party and Clinton interests around the world.”
 
Even though the Clinton Foundation is an official charity with a so-called “501(c) 3” designation from the IRS, Ortel says it’s not functioning as a legitimate charity. Ortel charges on his website that “Clinton Foundation documents omit crucial facts, include false and materially misleading statements, and exclude legally required audits of financial statements for each year of operation, that must be prepared on a consistent basis.”
 
Ortel also explains, “There are two sides to the coin. I think Peter Schweizer (Clinton Cash author) and his team have done a very good job of exposing this very difficult to expose pay-to-play stuff. I doubt there are criminals dumb enough who sit down and write memoranda in great detail and say ‘alright, you give me $1 million and I’ll give your this ambassadorship. Let’s sign on the dotted line here. Please wire the money to this account.’ I don’t think you are going to find those types of records. At the end of the day, even if you write a great book, and the book is good, and even if you do a movie and the movie is good, at the end of the day, the skeptical press is going to say there is no evidence.”
 
Ortel goes on to say, “On the other hand, on charity fraud, it’s a very different thing. In charity fraud, unlike pay-to-play, you don’t have to prove intent. Under New York State law, in particular, the requirement is merely that you prove the public filings in the Clinton Foundation are false and materially misleading, and they certainly are. This is why you are starting to see these editorial boards around the world say wait a minute. You also have to prove that they solicited, not that they raised money, that they solicited. That, the Clintons have admitted. . . . On the charity fraud side of life, that is the mine field for the Clintons. The second the IRS, or any attorney general or a state taxing authority, decides to make an issue of this, the burden of proof shifts . . . the charity has to come forward and prove the affirmative case. The Clinton Foundation has to prove, since October 23, 1997, that all you have been doing exclusively is furthering the authorized tax exempted purposes, which as far as I know is, to be merely a research facility and archive based in Little Rock. Prove that’s all you have done. Show us the legally audited financial statements. Show us those audits.”
 
In closing, Ortel contends, “This is a tale that needs to be told, but it’s not going to be a tale that people swallow at first blush given the fact how powerful the Clintons are or how vengeful the Clintons are when they are in power. . . . Another way to talk about the Clintons is the Bonnie and Clyde of charity or the Al Capone of charity.”
 
 
Keep in mind there isn’t just a “Clinton Foundation” - there is actually a global network of them:
 
*The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI)
*The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton (BHCC) Foundation
*The Clinton Foundation Hong Kong
*William J. Clinton Foundation Charitable Trust (Kenya)
*William J. Clinton Foundation Charitable Trust (UK)
*The Clinton Foundation Insalingsstiftelse (Sweden)
*The Clinton/Guistra Partnership, Canada

... most significantly operating international medical and disaster relief programs in violation of the nonprofit’s tax-exempt charter granted by the IRS.

This is the crime that's going to shake America?

If this is the most significant violation that Ortel's got we're wasting our time.
