The Clock Ticks for the Clinton Foundation

Whether it is merely the FBI trying to restore its shattered credibility or justice finally being done, the news that the pay-to-play activities of the Clinton Foundation are going to get renewed and serious attention is welcome. The Clintons have made a career of ignoring, skirting, and breaking the law. Up to this point, crime has paid off handsomely for the Clintons, but now they may find themselves caught between Little Rock and a hard place:

The Justice Department has launched a new inquiry into whether the Clinton Foundation engaged in any pay-to-play politics or other illegal activities while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of [s]tate, law enforcement officials and a witness tell[] The Hill.

FBI agents from Little Rock, Ark., where the foundation was started, have taken the lead in the investigation and have interviewed at least one witness in the last month, and law enforcement officials said additional activities are expected in the coming weeks.

The officials, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said the probe is examining whether the Clintons promised or performed any policy favors in return for largesse to their charitable efforts or whether donors made commitments of donations in hopes of securing government outcomes.

This should be a short investigation – Hillary Clinton is a ham sandwich waiting to be indicted. All that should be necessary is to empanel a grand jury and read them the known facts. The Clinton Foundation was hardly charitable except to its donors.

Any investigation should start with Haiti, where the Clinton Foundation plundered the disaster-ridden island for fun and profit. As the Washington Free Beacon reported:

HILLARY'S STATE DEPT----AND THE OBAMA YEARS---UNRELENTING SCANDAL
By Ari Lieberman

EXCERPT The taxpayer financed-Skolkovo Scandal – While serving as secretary of state, Clinton oversaw a program meant to “reset” relations with Moscow and improve ties. The program centered around the Russian city of Skolkovo near Moscow with the stated aim of “identifying areas of cooperation and pursuing joint projects and actions that strengthen strategic stability, international security, economic well-being, and the development of ties between the American and Russian people.”

Hillary's State Dept program transformed Skolkovo into a technology hub akin to a Silicon Valley. Sensitive American technology was transferred to the Russians, substantially enhancing their military and cyber capabilities. The US Army and the FBI concluded that Russia had exploited the program for military applications. The FBI warned American technology companies doing business in Skolkovo that the Skolkovo project was a means by which the Russians would acquire dual use technologies and apply them for military ends. According to investigative author Peter Schweizer, Russian and American companies and individuals involved in the Skolkovo fiasco “had major financial ties to the Clintons.”

Moreover, during the Russian reset period, those entities provided the Clintons with “tens of millions of dollars” in the form of “contributions to the Clinton Foundation, paid for speeches by Bill Clinton, or investments in small start-up companies with deep Clinton ties.” (hat tip frontpagemagazine.com)

The Clinton money machine rolls on:

EXCERPT then-president Bill strongly favored US govt action WRT the German government; now speculations surface that there could be a relationship between the Bertelsman cash flowing in for Bill's over-the-top $30 million book deal and Bertelsmann's ability to buy up a third or so of the American trade book publishing industry without anti-trust problems arising.

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

Some observers inside Germany believe the German government has some explaining to do for the donation that appears under the Clinton Foundation heading “Donors and Grantors”.“Why does a German Ministry supports the election campaign of a U.S. presidential candidate?” blogged Vera Lengsfeld — former civil rights activist and German parliamentarian. “It seems German taxpayers unwittingly financed Hillary Clinton’s election campaign.” There is also the question pending: how many German govt ministries gave money to the Clintons.

REFERENCE-—The Australian newspaper the “Herald Sun” ran an October article entitled, “Why have we donated to Clinton’s foundation?” The paper noted “Former Prime Minister Gillard donated $300 million of our money to the Clinton-affiliated Global Partnership for Education.” That’s one humongous amt of Australian govt money that fell into the hands of the conniving Clintons. The Herald Sun needs to dig deeper-—to determine if any of that money took a circuitous route then landed back into the personal coffers of the donors. Could have happened like this:

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

BACKSTORY When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore-——into a labyrinth of financial entities.

REMEMBER Billy’s infamous “pass-through account.”

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE-— Billybooboo’s infamous “WJC LLC” pass-through account....funds deposited then emptied the same day. Funds just disappear, and no scrutiny involved. Funds passing through Billybooboo’s WJC LLC could end up in: (a) offshore accounts, (b) money market accounts, (c) hedge funds, (d) another foundation account, (e) assorted investment accounts....without garnering public scrutiny.

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

The conniving Clintons shamelessly exploited the presidency, and her position at State, doling out US govt favors to foundation donors, They had the “do-good” con game down pat.

EXCLUSIVE: Clinton Foundation Got $100M From ‘Blood Minerals’ Firm
The Libertarian Republic / FR Posted by yoe

A little known Swedish-Canadian oil and mining conglomerate human rights groups have repeatedly charged produces “blood minerals” is among the Clinton Foundation’s biggest donors, thanks to a ($100 million pledge) in 2007, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation has found.

“Blood minerals” are related to “blood diamonds,” which are allegedly mined in war zones or sold as commodities to help finance political insurgencies or despotic warlords.

When the Vancouver, Canada-based Lundin Group gave its $100 million commitment to the “Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative,” the company had long been cutting deals with warlords, Marxist rebels, military strongmen and dictatorships in the war-torn African countries of Congo, Sudan and Ethiopia.

Lundin promoted its reputation as a fierce, hard-driving company. Adolf Lundin, who founded the company, (audaciously traveled) to the French home of Congo dictator Mobutu Sese Seko in 1996 to secure mining rights for his company. A few years later, Lundin admitted he had offered a “donation” to Mobutu’s “elections campaign,” but later said he never gave the funds. (Excerpt) Read more at thelibertarianrepublic.com ...

When the "altruistic" Vancouver, Canada-based Lundin Group gave its $100 million commitment to the do-good “Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative,” the company had long been cutting deals with warlords, Marxist rebels, military strongmen and dictatorships in the war-torn African countries of Congo, Sudan and Ethiopia.

Left, Giustra and Hillary with Amb Pickering.

Meet billionaire Frank Giustra. He's a mining expert......
he facilitated the takeover of US uranium assets....
he received your tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept.

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. He is also "altruistic."

Giustra's $100 million contributions go directly:

<><> (1) to the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation, and,

<><> (2) to the Canada-based "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership."

The "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership" in turn sends money to
the Clinton Foundation...(according to Canadian tax records researched by
"Clinton Cash" author Schweizer).

Oh, but the Clintons were merely titular heads of the foundation, not actively involved in the day-to-day machinations, nor micromanaging the operation or distribution of assets to worthy recipients.

They had NO IDEA that anything other than pure altruism was at work! Expect them to cooperate fully, and produce any requested documentation ‘sooner, rather than later’.

That’s how they roll!

I am praying that Birnham Wood has finally come to Dunsinane for these two”turn, hellhound, turn!”

At this point, I am tired of endlessly ticking clocks.

[Mark17]

At this point, I am tired of endlessly ticking clocks.

Yeah, me too. I think I will do my best imitation of Rip Van Winkle, and take a LONG nap. Wake me up if anything happens. 👍😄😊😀

[fella]

That has been transferred so many times that it will take over a hundred years to trace.

[ronnie raygun]

They can put mafia bigs away but they don’t dare touch the Clintons? ridiculous! My guess is the tentacles reach far and wide and many on both sides are in up to their necks and will go down with the ship

[stockpirate]

Unless the DOJ and FBI send all the players to prison they will not be able to redeem themselves. Not just the Clintons but everyone behind the attempted coup

[JohnnyP]

“Well, this time they don’t have their scumbag errand boi comey to cover for them... ...what a glorious time to be alive!”

Reminded me of this:

The future looks bright. On that train all graphite and glitter. Undersea by rail. Ninety minutes from New York to Paris Well by seventy-six we’ll be A. O. K.. What a beautiful world this will be. What a glorious time to be free.

[hardspunned]

This clock has been ticking for 30 years and still no boom. This stuff from Clinton’s secretary of state days is small change compared to what they did in the White House. At least the Clintons learned how much more their treachery was worth. Remember it only took a $600,000 bribe from Bernie Swartz to get Slick to allow Loral Space to make the Chinese strategic missile force legitimate.

[BobL]

“FBI agents from Little Rock, Ark.”

This could be interesting. Little Rock is far from DC and it’s possible that the Deep State hasn’t made it there yet.

[BobL]

“I’m still not optimistic. A Grand Jury from the DC area would be unlikely to indict any Clinton.”

I’d agree...but maybe this Grand Jury will be empaneled in Little Rock - a bright red state.

[tired&retired]

With the IRS,there is no statute of limitations on fraud.

Let the Clintons go down in history with Capone and the Chicago mobsters.

[cashless]

The entire premise of the article is a load of bovine excrement. Let me say it again for the dull minds and passions over reality crowd among us:

THE RULING POLITICAL CLASS IN THIS COUNTRY IS NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THE SAME STANDARDS AS THE COMMON CITIZEN IS.

Their power, prestige, prominence and monied interests fully insulates them from being charged, being arrested, being arraigned, being held for trial, being tried, being convicted or even being incarcerated as you and I would be.
Destroy their money and influence to the point of destitution and then maybe their most devote apostles, disciples and syncophants will abondon their useless, immoral, vacuous being.

[blackdog]

I would just put ankle monitors on everyone in the legislative and judicial branches, and sort out the terms of removal later. At least half belong in prison and that is from both parties.

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Fingers crossed on this one. We’ll see if the swamp has been drained sufficient for actual justice to occur.
