Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is taking rhetorical sniper fire for large contributions to The Clinton Foundation taken from dirt-poor foreign nations while she was Secy of State. The Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and others have hinted at impropriety on two levels…
1) A potential presidential candidate becomes beholden to certain foreign nations.
2) A Secretary of State whose private foundation grows in prestige from foreign donations, while those same nations lobby the State Department for special treatment (b/c of abysmal human rights violations).
Both questions merit vigorous exploration, but for two of the Clinton Foundation’s “donor nations” there’s a third, perhaps more troubling, specter: taxpayer money laundering.
Algeria and the Dominican Republican each contributed to the Clinton Foundation, and both are recipients of U.S. development aid.
In the year 2010, Secretary Clinton’s foundation received $500,000 from Algeria designated to help Haiti in the aftermath of an earthquake. But the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) reports that Algeria received from U.S. taxpayers a total of $8.58 million in development assistance that same year — three-quarters of it as “emergency response” money.
At the same time, as the Post reports, Algeria spent another $422,097 lobbying the U.S. government, largely to take the heat off for human rights abuses in the 99% Sunni Islamic North African country.
Hillary Clinton's charity took major donations from dirt-poor nations Hillary Clinton’s charity took major donations from Algeria and the Dominican Republic while they received U.S. development aid from American taxpayers.
So, in effect, U.S. taxpayers gave Algeria money to pressure us to stop hassling it about human rights, and we also gave Algeria money to curry favor with Madame Secretary by buffing the global reputation of Hillary Clinton’s private foundation. (This is not to minimize any good work that the Clinton Foundation may have done in Haiti. That’s irrelevant to this question.)
The real issue: Should needy nations like Algeria make contributions to other needy nations, channeled through the charitable foundation of the sitting U.S. secretary of State, while needy nation #1 is also lobbying us over human rights abuses — all with U.S. taxpayer dollars?
Meanwhile, the perennially impoverished Dominican Republic (DR) also donated to the Clinton Foundation during Hillary’s stint at State. Meanwhile in 2010 the DR received $35.52 million in U.S. development aid.
No matter what kind of accounting gymnastics one might perform, the fact of the matter is that U.S. taxpayers gave the DR and Algeria money that they then channelled to, or through, the Clinton Foundation.
There are, certainly, more troubles soon to emerge for a presidential hopeful with a foundation laid on such shifting sands of geostrategic relationships.
For example, Ukraine’s second-richest billionaire, Victor Pinchuk, a steel king whose wealth flows from trade with Russia, is also a major donor to the Clinton Foundation. When President Hillary Clinton takes the 3 a.m. phone call from Mr. Pinchuk, how will she tell him that the United States stands with those who want an independent Ukraine, rather than a Russian puppet?

Hillary will do fine with rhetorical sniper fire. She has experience with the real thing.
“Even the appearance of an impropriety ...”
The NYSlimes and WaPo have decided that BS is more electable with his open commie appeal. BS and Hellary are both criminal elements, but BS is less blatant about it. And, as far as we know BS doesn’t have a sexual predator for a spouse.
If Hillary is the nominee, will the GOP have a candidate who will use the term “money laundering operation” in the debates?

How can it be legal for Hillary, or any government employee, while still in office, to set up a “foundation” on the side, raking in money from nations and people she is in a position to aid?
Take away Bill Clinton as smokescreen and it is 100% clear what was going on. Electing Ted Cruz as President would be a waste of talent — imagine what he could do as a very active Attorney General.
I like the words “graft” and “payola” too...
Legal action might involve (1) an FBI investigation, and, (2) the US DOJ---both in the grip of Obama so political hijinks loom. (3) a congressional committee, with subpoena power.
Here's a fourth option: a six-month investigation: indicated the Clintons diverted tens millions of dollars that they solicited for specific Foundation charitable purposes (that were found to have been diverted to the personal enrichment of themselves and their close associates).
THIS IS CONSIDERED MAIL FRAUD Raising money for a specific cause that was diverted elsewhere is considered mail fraud.

If the FBI, DOJ and IRS won't shape up to nab the conniving Clintons, the US Postal Inspector has been known to lock-up many crooks for using similar scams.
<><> He didn't know about this?
Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin.
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks.
<><>Obama was oblivious to the Clintons jerking around US foreign policy?
<><> Obama knew nothing of Hillary and Sid Blumenthal's emails WRT Iran (the man Obama banned from US govt employment)?
<><> Obama knew nothing about the Clinton Foundation/slush fund buck-raking activities?
<><> Obama never noticed Bill Clinton trotting around the globe?
<><> Obama never noticed Clinton using "charity" to worm his way into the confidences of foreign leaders....
but only those leaders w/ untapped reserves of gold, uranium, oil, and other valuable commodities?
================================================
THE FACTS ARE THESE---WE, THE PEOPLE, NOTICED Hand-picked by Obama to run State, Hillary ran it like a shadow govt....w/ her husband taking notes WRT buck-raking opportunities available from Hillary's actions OR inaction.
Obama never noticed that Secy Hillary never e-v-e-r uttered a discouraging word e-v-e-r......as the Clinton Foundation sucked up hundred of millions of foreign dollars from shady characters. The avaricious Clintons devised hundreds of obscure programs to collect billions.....bragging about do-goodism, how the money was supposedly dispersed to "assist" endless charitable projects.
No question----Obama's protecting the Clintons---b/c they're his meal ticket. The Clintons deposit Obama's cut into his two (cough) "foundations." All of them are living happily ever after--getting rich on poverty-stricken people in these dirt-poor countries.
Great post!
The corruption is strong in this one.

What a financial wizard!
Dead broke in 2001.
Kid buys $10 million Manhattan condo just years later.
It was reported years ago, I think when they were destroying the White House with their garbage friends from Little Rock. That they had money stashed in the Cayman Islands. heard this a couple times and it was in the millions
Remember, the Clintons left the WH "dead broke". Here's their
current real estate holdings (that we know of).
Bill and Hillary Clinton bought the $5.95 million mansion in Chappaqua, Westchester County, New York in 1999. The house is now estimated to be worth $6.84 million. Chappaqua is an "old money" town---which at one time had covenants and deed restrictions forbidding sales to what they termed "Negroes, Jews or other undesirables" Today the population is 97+% White and you'll find not one sq inch of section 8 housing there.
After they exited the WH "dead-broke", The Clintons
paid $2.85 million for this DC Georgian Colonial
w/ 4 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms.
Chelsea and hubby Marc Mezvinsky's $10 million
condo w/ pricey furnishings, and monthly upkeep in the
stratosphere. Mark runs a faltering hedge fund.
BTW....Hillary said she "decided" to run for president while
lounging around designer Oscar de la Renta's beach house.
The de la Renta beach house.
The NYT reported the Clintons rented this
$200,000-a-month Hamptons vacation mansion.
World class Grifters.

Do they still own the condo in Ireland?
