Why Obama is torpedoing Hillary Clinton
The Washington Times ^ | 8-19-15 | Monica Crowley

Posted on 08/20/2015 6:21:23 AM PDT by boycott

There is only one person who controls Hillary Clinton’s fate, and it isn’t Hillary Clinton.

Mrs. Clinton is careening toward possible criminal charges involving her alleged mishandling of classified material on her personal email server while she was secretary of State. And President Obama is driving the bus.

She and her team have, of course, reverted to form, blaming everyone but themselves: a “right-wing conspiracy,” The New York Times, overzealous investigators. What they are missing, however, is the one figure who wants her taken out politically, and who has the power to do it.

She and Mr. Obama have a long history as frenemies. Recall Mr. Obama’s rejoinder at a 2008 debate, when Mrs. Clinton touted her likability: “You’re likable enough.” Or recall President Bill Clinton’s famous put-down of Mr. Obama: “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”

Beyond the bad blood, however, Mr. Obama has a more important reason for doing her in. As I have written previously, he needs a successor he can control. Over the years, including recently, he has waxed rhapsodic over a possible third term to continue his “fundamental transformation of the nation.” Mrs. Clinton will not provide it; therefore, she must be sidelined.

Looks like he is coaching back swing techniques.

Also looks like he will assume room temperature just about any day from now.

subtle, slow, one small cut at a time, keep up the relentless pressure... like a pack of african hunting dogs and their prey. Exhaust the prey then eat their guts while they are still living. This is obongo, jarrett and company.

We probably can’t imagine the depth and breadth of the intrigue of this administration and the DNC. I’m sure we would find it more like the NAZI party or Stalin’s Kremlin than anything.

The white hut is probably waiting until hildebeast spends a lot more money in a futile effort so they can once again break the clintoons.

This is mortal combat with no rules.

You give the DNC far too much credit for loyalty to the country. THEY put obongo in, THEY put clintoon in. THEY knew what both of them are.

Lots of good points here. The intrigue is without boundaries. Reminds me of a ball of snakes. Any one of them can start a killing frenzy... of each other.

People write fiction about things like this true life event.

They hide what they do in broad daylight. Ocongo is just going to let the process run its course. Hands off... had nothing to do with it.... and won’t lift a finger to help either.

Like a car balancing on a cliff only prevented from falling by the sea gull on the trunk... he, the seagull, will just fly away.. oops.

Rush has been talking about this possibility for several days .. and I’m beginning to see this as a definite possibility; especially with Biden meeting with Warren.

The reason it worries me a little is that I don’t trust Obama to leave office when he’s supposed to .. and I’ve said on these threads (more than once) that Obama could do it by declaring martial law; postponing elections. However, that could mean we will be hit with another terror attack worse than 9/11. And .. another possibility .. is this the reason billions of dollars are being given to Iran.

And .. Trump winning the nomination .. could be the tipping point.

obongo, jarrett and the like are not smarter than most it is just that decent people can’t imagine how far they will go to have their way. Never doubt but if you are a good person you can’t conceive what they will do.

Decent people can’t confront evil adequately without huge amounts of experience or an ally who is just as evil and conniving.

They think of things to do that you and I would never dream of... they have no out of bounds markers and they have no conscience... always remember that. If you do it is like turning your back on a cobra or worse.

Mr. Obama is a clever dark knight: he’s not just going after the queen. He’s going after her court, too. These leaks are not happening by accident.

Did you see the picture of Bill Clinton - in what looked like a mining office in Africa - with a bunch of men - but holding the hand of a small pretty 6 year old black child? It was posted within the last few weeks....

Yes...that was Clinton and his mining pal Frank Guistra making a show of do-goodism in Haiti....while Hillary's brother got a rare gold-mining permit.

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

SOURCE BY Don Van Natta Jr., Joe Becker and Mike McIntire, "In Charity And Politics, Clinton Donors Overlap," The New York Times, 12/20/07

The Clinton Foundation Initially "Suggested That The $31.3 Million Contribution Listed On Its Tax Return Did Not Come From A Single Donor," Then Said "It Came From A Single Source, But Declined To Identify It." "The $31.3 million donation, which was previously undisclosed, came from the Radcliffe Foundation run by Frank Giustra, a Canadian who has made millions financing mining deals around the world.

Mr. Giustra has become a member of Mr. Clinton's inner circle, joining him on global trips and lending him the use of his private MD-87 jet.

For weeks, Clinton Foundation officials had suggested that the $31.3 million contribution listed on its tax return did not come from a single donor. They then said it came from a single source, but declined to identify it. Wednesday afternoon, a representative of Mr. Giustra contacted The NY Times and acknowledged the Radcliffe contribution."

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

The muck now surfacing from the greedy Clintons is bad enough---but what they're hiding is the bigger problem.

ITEM--The NY Times reported the "Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership" collected about $33 million US tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept between 2008 and 2013.....$25 million of which was passed back across the border to the US-based Clinton Foundation. Plus---Giustra pledged $100 million to the (cough) Foundation after Clinton helped him clinch the mega-bucks uranium deal.

ITEM---millions of dollars and 1,100 donors are shrouded in mystery in the Canadian Giustra/Clinton operation. The Clinton Foundation signed a “memorandum of understanding” with the Obama White House agreeing to reveal its contributors every year. The agreement stipulates that the “Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative” (as the charity was then-known) is part of the Clinton Foundation and must follow “the same protocols.”

SURPRISE: It hasn’t.

Caught w/ his pants down, Giustra's backtracking like crazy---saying Canada’s federal privacy law "forbids" the Canadian-registered Clinton charity, from revealing its donors. A memo he provided news organs cites “fiduciary obligations” to its contributors and Canada’s Personal Information Privacy and Electronic Disclosure Act. “We are not allowed to disclose even to the Clinton Foundation the names of our donors,” Giustra says.

However, Canadian tax and privacy law experts were dubious of the Clinton/Giustra claims. A former director knowledgeable about tax policy at Canada's Department of Finance, said he wasn't aware of any tax laws that would prevent the Clinton charity from releasing its donors' names. "There's nothing that would preclude them from releasing donors' names. It's entirely up to them."

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

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. 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).

Some Clinton Foundation donors and board members’ shady dealings and criminal convictions are legendary. The blockbuster “Clinton Cash” book details the buck-raking couple’s sordid circle.

•The SEC charged a Clinton Foundation trustee with misallocating $9.5M from his database company. Shareholders sued for using the company jet to fly the Clintons around and paying Bill Clinton a $3M consulting fee.

• A Clinton Foundation trustee was accused of paying Bahraini executives (roughly $52 million) to win sales contracts for US-based Alcoa which later settled with the DOJ for $384M.

• A Clinton Foundation trustee donated to Hillary’s campaigns...gave the Clintons millions in honoraria and millions more to the foundation. The trustee was arrested for allegedly defrauding a bank. He pleaded guilty in a Bklyn court to “funneling more than $180,000 in illegal contributions to three federal candidates,” Hillary among them.

• An Indian legislator sat at the head table at the Clinton Global Initiative and dined privately with the Clintons at their home. He gave between $1-5 million to the Clinton Foundation....then was arrested for bribing members of parliament WRT a US-Indian nuclear-technology agreement....he was booted from his party, ending his political career.

• Venezuelan Claudio Osorio fundraised for Hillary and supported the Clinton Global Initiative. He falsified federal applications and bilked US taxpayers to score a loan of $10M tax dollars to build homes in earthquake-ravaged Haiti. Osorio was convicted of financial fraud, using federal “humanitarian assistance for personal benefit,” and got 12 years in federal prison.

• He was on the federal terrorist no-fly list yet a Lebanese-British businessman donated $460,000 to Miami Democrats for voter-registration and attended the Clintons’ WH Christmas party. He was later convicted of money-laundering and “aiding a criminal organization WRT billions of dollars stolen from Nigeria.

The Lebanese businessman’s company pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative. The eco-minded Clinton awarded him a prize for “sustainable development.”

Well .. nobody would ever describe me as a delicate flower. I actually read Brad Thor and Brad Taylor books .. and you can bet their villains are more devious than most.

However, I do know the history and reputation of the Clintons; and now the Obamas. None of them are really the quality of Presidential material we need to lead this country.

I got most of my information by listening to Rush Limbaugh. Without that info, I probably wouldn’t understand your comments.

Frankly, I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past these people. They are treacherous liars.
