The Clinton Foundation reportedly accepted millions of dollars from a Colombian oil company head before then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton decided to support a trade deal with Colombia despite worries of human rights violations.
The report in the International Business Times comes as Clinton readies an expected run for president. She’s been dogged by questions about whether foreign donations to her foundations could have influenced her official decisions.
The report centers on donations from Frank Giustra and the oil company that he founded, Pacific Rubiales. In a Wall Street Journal story from 2008, Giustra is described as a “friend and traveling companion” of former President Clinton who donated more than $130 million to Clinton’s philanthropies. He’s also a Clinton Foundation board member and has participated in projects and benefits for the foundation.
When workers at Pacific Rubiales decided to strike in 2011, the Columbian military reportedly used force to stop the strikes and compel them to return to work, IBT reports, citing the Washington office of Latin America, a human rights group. Those accusations of human rights violations were part of the criticism of the United States-Colombia Free Trade Promotion Agreement, which was passed by Congress later that year. Pacific Rubiales has repeatedly denied charges that it infringed on workers’ rights.

She is frickin’ insane! You can see it in her eyes.Heaven help us if she is elected president.
31 million is NOT a small check...
That’s one of her problems. She’s also corrupted by power and has, as far as I can see, pretty much lost her soul.
The latter part, I doubt she’s even aware of, she’s so blinded.
I was going to say something about Hillary! and Huma starring in a remake of "Beach Blanket Bingo" and that was a souvenir but I changed my mind.
Hillary doesn’t care about ‘the soul’ in a political sense... she cares about winning in this world. The care of her soul is between her and God... I’m staying out of that one.
That's the one I was referring to. :)
She's laying up her treasures here instead of in heaven. She'll pay so terribly in the end if she doesn't seek salvation. Frankly, I shudder for her on that account. Eternity is the further thing from her mind or she has decided that she can fool God. Or she doesn't believe at all and her heart has become as hardened as Pharaoh's.
