The Clinton Colombia connection: a secret investment fund (primed w/ billions in foreign aid)
nypost.com ^ | 11/27/15 | NY POST EDITORIAL

Hillary Clinton is upping her anti-Wall Street rhetoric, amid reports that the Clinton Foundation is running a private-equity company down in Colombia.The same private-equity field dissed by 2008 Obama in hundreds of millions of dollars of negative ads against Mitt Romney b/c Romney earned his fortune w/ a PEF.

The Bogota-based Fondo Acceso, started in 2010 by Bill Clinton, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim and mining millionaire Frank Giustra....$20 million seed funding supposedly came from the Clinton Foundations Clinton-Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative and Carlos Slims the SLIM Foundation, the Washington Free Beacon reports. In an ominous sign, Fondo Acceso took down its Web site once the Beacon broke the story. Plus the venture wasnt registered as a private equity fund in Colombia, thereby skirting government oversight. A good move for an investment firm linked to the US secretary of state.

The National Legal and Policy Center, notes, At the minimum, the Clinton Foundation should disclose every company that received investment funds, because the public is entitled to know whether those companies benefited from any State Department foreign-aid programs. Not to mention the ethical murk of having two charities co-own an investment fund in a developing nation. Especially when one of those charities is the family nonprofit of a presidential candidate who has raised tens of millions from the financial sector shes promising to reform.

John Kerry paid good money for all that testimony when he flipped the witnesses.
That is where it comes from.

The intermingling of Clinton cronies in every aspect of American life feeds their outrageous ambitions.
