Hillary began helping Bill's fat cats in the US Senate. Earmarks and legislative action benefited Clinton Foundation benefactors. Then Sen-Clintons efforts to provide favors to major donors......and to advance her own political ambitions.....stretch back far earlier than the avalanche of news reports about her tenure as Americas top diplomat at the US State Dept. Records show her efforts date back to the time she served as a US senator. She used US govt power to earmark federal funds and influence legislation for donors.
<><> Mrs. Clinton introduced a bill when she was New Yorks junior senator that allowed a donor to the Clinton Foundation to use tax-exempt bonds to build a shopping center in Syracuse, New York, public records show.
<><> She also went to bat for Freddie Mac, working to defeat legislation that would have subjected the mortgage giant to tougher regulations before the housing bubble burst and led to a major recession. That same year, Freddie Mac donated $50,000 to $100,000 to her husbands charity, originally called the William J. Clinton Foundation.
<><> Then-Sen Clinton also used her leverage to help persuade the Chinese government to reduce tariffs on Corning Inc.s fiber optic products. The central New York companys employees and executives contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to her campaigns and political action committee.
Analysts on political money have said the pattern of Mrs. Clintons intervention on behalf of donors to her husbands charity raise troubling ethical questions. "It seems like the Clinton Foundation operates as a slush fund for the Clintons, Bill Allison, a senior fellow at the Sunlight Foundation, a government watchdog group, told the New York Post in April after conflict-of-interest reports started surfacing between the Clinton Foundation and Mrs. Clintons political work. --SNIP--

When I was there the Secretary of State wasn’t that powerful. What changed?
What changed——the greedy, ambitious Clintons came to power. They see every govt endeavor as a way to make a buck for themselves.
AMERICA is a bananna republic JOKE
congress IS IN BUSINESS FOR ITSELF AND THE people be damned...
THINK OTHERWISE .... YOURE A FOOL.
Looks like the "personable" Hillary made great friends while in the US Senate (/snix).
Then-US Sen Clinton and then-Sen Corzine.
EXHIBIT ONE Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs executive suite, buying his NJ Senate seat office for $65 million; then buying the NJ governorship. Out of office, he ran a hedge fund where $1.5 B went missing....that employed both Bill Clinton and then-Secy of State Hillary's top aide Huma Abedin.
EXHIBIT TWO When Chelsea Clinton's husband started a hedge fund, he gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons and to Goldman Sachs. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs'ers Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund.
Some of Mezvinsky's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton."
The WSJ reported extensively on the hedge fund's underperformance since its inception and Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing.
===========================================
PASS THE HAND SOAP So did Did Hillary vote for Corzine's legislation....giving tax breaks for a Japanese bank he owned?
EXHIBIT THREE Then-US Sen Jon Corzine (D-NJ), used his office to pass a special tax exemption for a Japanese bank he owned----his Goldman Sachs crony, Christopher Flowers---adminstrator of Sen Corzine's "blind trust"--- used Corzine's assets to takeover the Japanese bank.
LAUGH BREAK Corzine later said he "did not know" the legislation he sponsored "benefited" him. What other deals did Corzine make w/ with his fellow Senators to get the tax bill passed?
=================================================
EXHIBIT FOUR Secy of State Hillary gave dual status to her top aide---Huma Adedin worked at State AND also worked as a consultant, One of her Clients was Teneo---where Bill Clinton was collecting $50,000 per month through his Teneo advisory firm.
Teneo was hired by MF Globals former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his connections with Clintons political family, said an ex employee, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared retribution. The Teneo contract with MF Global lasted at least five months, the souce said. The board cancelled it after Corzine resigned.
The source, who is no longer associated with MF Global, said Teneo is a dual-track company with one side devoted to merchant and investment banking and the other side set up to provide image and strategy consulting services. Clinton is the chairman of the companys advisory board. (hat tip Human Events)
PING
There is so much. If multiple charges were made on each incident it would take days just to read them.
Thanks Liz.
Hillary’s a greedy little money grubber... and that’s the best dems can do? Yikes!
(1) Hillary's State Dept uses classoified intel to profit; collusion w/ Bill to get foundation doations through State Dept action OR inaction.
(2) Clinton buck-raking entities they're hiding (Bill just showcased Clinton America Foundation.
(3) Clintons' multiple businesses using do-good fundation as a ruse---gold mining, uranium mines, oil pipelines, banking, arms, pharmaceuticals, telecom, etc etc etc.
(4) Foundation laundry machines: Goldman Sachs, Chelsea's DH's Eaglevale Hedge Fund
(5) Teneo laundry--pays Bill, Huma, etc etc etc
(6) Obama's two foundations gets cut of all deals.
(7) allocating foreign aid tax dollars funneled back into the foundation (example: Cameroon Church)
(8) $6 billion missing from Hillary's state dept.
(9) Haiti billions.
(10) Rodham's mysterious gets gold-mining license
(11) State Dept awards in exchange for foundation donations
(12) Hillary approving Russian takeover of US uranium mines
(13) Clinton/s Canada foundation hiding donors
(14) Clinton's Swedish entity hiding donors
Someone has to track that one down...
When he finally went to jail, investigators found Ponzi king, Bernie Madoff, had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that was structured to look like perfectly legal.
The IRS accepts "losing money" as a tax write-off. Although he was jailed for running a Ponzi scheme for 25 years, Madoff's usefulness was helping billionaire tax-exempt foundations launder money and evade taxes..... likewise Clinton.
------------------------------------------
Clinton's MO is to travel the globe....the frickin Foundations are calculatedly set-up all over the world. Clinton's laundry is drying out everywhere---secret accounts, business interests, and other evidence of his money laundering, are everywhere.
===============================================
And check those deliberate Foundation "clerical errors."
Several state and federal agencies the Clintons listed as donors told news outlets they did not contribute to the Clinton Foundation. <><> EPA said there's no record of donations to the Clinton Foundation. <><> The Office of Minority Health and Human Services, is listed but it's not clear what this donation referred to, or even which federal or state office it came from. <><> The Arkansas Dept of Human Services received a donor "gift receipt" but said they never expended money for gifts to the foundation.
*Nice* work, if you can get it.
Thanks, Liz, for the ping and all of your tireless work/research.
Excellent list. Are they all covered in the CASH book?
