This is the way politicians steal.

News reports say the notorious tax-exempt Clinton Foundation charity setup a money-making private equity fund in the corrupt country of Columbia. Why Columbia?

WIKI REFERENCE---In 2000, the Clinton administration committed $1.3 billion in foreign aid to the corrupt country of Columbia...... and up to five hundred military personnel to train local forces.

An additional three hundred civilian personnel were allowed to assist in the eradication of coca. This aid was an addition to $330 million of previously approved US aid to Colombia. $818 million was earmarked for 2000, with $256 million for 2001.

The Clinton-era appropriations for his Columbia Plan made Colombia the third largest recipient of foreign aid from the United States at the time.

--SNIP--

As of 2008, the U.S. has provided nearly $1.3 billion to Colombia through Clinton Plan Colombia nonmilitary aid programs:

<><> Alternative Development (2000-2008 cost: $500 million)

<><> Internally Displaced Persons (2000-2008 cost: $247 million)

<><> Demobilization and Reintegration (2000-2008 cost: $44 million)

<><> Democracy and Human Rights (2000-2008 cost: $158 million)

<><> Promote the Rule of Law (2000-2008 cost: $238 million)

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) is a project of the Center for Public Integrity, focused on issues such as "cross-border crime, corruption, and the accountability of power".

In 2013, the consortium had 160 member journalists from 60 countries. The ICIJ brings together teams of international journalists for different investigations (over 80 for Offshore leaks). It organizes the bi-annual Daniel Pearl Awards for Outstanding International Investigative Reporting.

The ICIJ's director since 2011 is Gerard Ryle; other staff members include Michael Hudson, while the Advisory Committee in 2013 includes Bill Kovach, Phillip Knightley, Gwen Lister, and Goenawan Mohamad.

The ICIJ might examine ALL of Clinton-era foreign aide disbursements---and Hillary's foreign assistance....to determine if the Clintons have offshore accounts in those countries....or if so-called charities have been setup by the notorious Clinton Foundation to money-launder by siphoning off kickbacks.
