Investigating the Clinton Foundation (Bob Woodward elaborates)

FOXNEWS.COM ^ | 6/18/15 | EDITED TRANSCRIPT

[Liz]

O'REILLY "Clinton Cash" investigated the charitable enterprise known as the Clinton Foundation. How do you see it?

BOB WOODWARD: this is a giant story... The question is how the Clinton Foundation activities are organized? Who decides -- that story will take weeks and months.

O'REILLY Do you know if the "Washington Post" has an investigative team?

WOODWARD: Yes....this week there's been serious meetings about it. It's going to be looked at in the New York Times.....there is independent media aggressiveness. Now, the big question you've raised, are there illegal transactions here? And that requires digging.

O'REILLY.....you need somebody from the inside..a deep throat....the FBI announced the St. Louis Aardinals hacked into the Houston Astros..... but they can't say if they are investigating the Clinton Foundation?

WOODWARD: Well, we don't know....the lesson for the media is to discover what would be called incremental coverage, and keep going at it.... do we really understand how much money in dollars and cents, the Clintons walked away with or people in the foundation who work for them?

O'REILLY: Shouldn't the FBI take the lead? I want the press to investigate it because I want honest government. But the FBI has subpoena powers...they can go in and they get all of this stuff. Whereas you and me and others we can't.

WOODWARD: But the FBI relies on other people, too. And they need credible evidence that a crime has been committed. Let's step back and be fair-minded about this.

O'REILLY: I think we should be fair. I think we should be watchdogs and aggressive, too.

WOODWARD: I want to know the Clintons net worth....in terms of money and assets....and I think one of the measures of how successful or unsuccessful the press is in this is getting that answer, not some big number.

NOTE The do-gooder Clintons calculatedly morphed into
"The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Family Foundation" .....
giving them even more fund-raising capabilities w/ a friendly "family" aura.

"Smile everybody. Another $100 million came in today."

The Clintons are masters of obfuscation and have counted on the press to turn the other way in reporting their corruption. This time the corruption may be so blatant even the liberal press is taking notice. The is no possibility the FBI under this administration will investigate the Clintons and Congressional hearings can too easily be labeled a Republican witch hunt. However the press is sensing blood in the water with the Clinton Foundation money and could blow the story wide open. Ironic the the death of three Americans including the U.S. ambassador in Benghazi during Hillry’s tenure as Secretary of State scarcely got mentioned by the mainstream media, but the scent of corruptly gotten money has them salivating

Behind bars?
How about hanging from a gallows?

Nice deconstruction...thanks.

At first glance, the Clinton’s lucrative speeches and ungodly Foundation donations seem to provide the bulk of the couple’s income.

Bill's honoraria increased dramatically---earning some $50 million during Hillary's four-year term as secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.

The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day!

I firmly believe the Clinton Foundation's gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealth----and the way they make billions sub rosa---intertwining their vaunted "charity" work and public office.

The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities......though little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillary’s non-speech business interests.

Recent reports indicate the Clintons were party to multi-billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...oil deal....telecom businesses, etc etc etc.

THE CON ARTIST CLINTONS GRABBED EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN---Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ the Foundation's "do-good" activities....enabled by Hillary's catbird seat at the State Dept.

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

TAXPAYERS DEMAND LAWS BANNING FOUNDATION THAT SELL OUT AMERICAN INTERESTS---Obama's still in office and has two Foundations (that we know of)---ready to cash-in like the Clintons.

Works for me!

[DrDude]

Not to mention the SOS computer Server was actually owned by the Clinton Foundation, not the Clintons. Media Matters has direct ties to the Clinton Foundation regarding political activities. This makes neither organization exempt or “non profit””.

Thanks Liz. America’s Greatest Crime Family ALERT!

[MinuteGal]

If you read the whole interview you come to the conclusion that it's just a bag of voluble hot air....signifying nothing of any value at all. Past his prime, Woodward equivocates and meanders....nothing hard-hitting or cutting-edge regarding Bonny and Blythe....just trite blather....to go along and get along.

I knew Woodward's late dad, a well-to-do elected chief judge in the Illinois 18th circuit based in Wheaton, Illinois. Father Woodward was wishy-washy GOP-elite and politically his acorn son is wishy-washy unspecified-party-elite.

Bob Woodward is 72, is a permanent resident in a toney part of DC...he gives speeches here and there to corporations and on college campuses when he hits the creamed-chicken circuit.

He went to Yale.....has been married three times and has two grown daughters.

He commands up to $60,00 per speech, money which he deposits into his own personal "charitable foundation". This modus operandi sounds very familiar and I don't even want to go into it......although this may be why in interviews he's so wishy-washy about the grifting Clintons and their "charitable foundation".

Thank you!

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Liz. I wonder what kind of 'accidental' or 'natural causes' death the White House has in mind for Bob?

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the ping.

It's starting to feel so 'nixon'...

[Liz]

Nixon is looking like an angel.

Break-ins by the cunning Clintons are prolly commonplace ......their wrong-doings would fill an encyclopedia of crime.
