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 into the US-based Clinton Foundation coffers. Plus---mining mogul Giustra pledged a whopping $100 million to the Clinton Foundation....after Clinton helped him clinch the mega-bucks uranium mining deal.
ITEM---millions of dollars and 1,100 donors are shrouded in mystery in the Canadian Giustra/Clinton operation. The Clinton Foundation signed a âmemorandum of understandingâ with the Obama White House agreeing to reveal its contributors every year. The agreement stipulates that the âClinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiativeâ (as the charity was then-known) is part of the Clinton Foundation and must follow âthe same protocols.â
SURPRISE: It hasnt.
Caught w/ his pants down, mining mogul Giustra's backtracking like crazy---saying Canadaâs federal privacy law "forbids" the Canadian-registered Clinton charity, from revealing its donors.
A memo he provided news organs cites âfiduciary obligationsâ to its contributors and Canadaâs Personal Information Privacy and Electronic Disclosure Act. âWe are not allowed to disclose even to the Clinton Foundation the names of our donors,â 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."
