Bombshell: Clinton Foundation Donor’s Flight From Justice Aided by Hillary Allies

Observer ^ | 03/25/16 | Ken Silverstein

Recent news reports indicate that the FBI is investigating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for granting favors to her family’s foundation donors and for its systematic accounting fraud. In January, the Sunday Times of London cited former Judge Andrew Napolitano, a conservative libertarian and frequent Fox News guest, as saying that the FBI was taking evidence “seriously” and that Hillary “could hear about that soon from the Department of Justice.”

[detective]

If there were any justice in America, Clinton would be in prison.

[aquila48]

Oh no, another “bombshell” headline!

[CaptainK]

The Clinton’s are golden in the Media, so nothing will ever happen to them.

[frog in a pot]

It walks and talks exactly like she has effective leverage on a few key decision-makers.

[shelterguy]

I was intrigued until I saw “Judge Napolitano”.. Then I remembered he has made about a million predictions that never came true so I stopped reading.

[dp0622]

This will do her in now!!!!!

what a joke. SHE’S NOT going to prison!!

let’s focus on winning the election and using this stuff against her.

but let’s not fool ourselves.

it’s just as likely her going to prison as Bush was going to be tried by the UN when all the DU and KOS psychos were out in full force.

I know the difference is she did something. But presidents and ex presidents’ wives don’t go to prison. it’s sad, but true.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Well, the cold comfort here is that the FBI is not just investigating Hillary’s emails. They also are investigating the corrupt swamp that is the Clinton Foundation and the curious relationship between Bill getting paid seven figure speaking fees and then the Hillary-run State Department doing favors for those who paid the speaking fee. I don’t think that any rational person doubts that Bill, Hillary and Chelsea, for that matter, committed multiple felonies. The question is whether anyone will do anything about it.

[Night Hides Not]

The Judge has made a good living spouting worthless rumors on Fox for at least ten years.

[blueunicorn6]

Hillary is destroying the Democrat Party.

In five years, you won’t be able to find anyone who will admit to being a Democrat.

WIKI Claudio Osorio, A Venezuelan fraudster (now jailed) organised high profile fundraisers, was in thick w/ Democrats---and Jeb Bush. Ossorio donated some $80,000 to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, according to Federal Electoral Commission records.

Ossorio donated mega-bucks to the Clinton Global Initiative.

Innovida received $3.5 million in loans from US taxpayers----via the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) -----to build homes in Haiti after the earthquake.

In September 2011, OPIC began questioning Innovida's "negative operating cash flow."

A court appointed receiver in charge of investigating Innovida's finances indicated that "$37.5 million in funds had been moved offshore, but he had so far been unable to find out what happened to the money."[15]

Venezuelan Osorio has used his constitutional privilege of invoking the fifth amendment right against self-incrimination when asked if company funds had been used to pay personal expenses.[16]

Osorio was indicted on two counts of wire fraud and one count of major fraud, amongst other charges. Federal prosecutors said Osorio defrauded investors from 2007-10, exaggerating the company's finances and pocketing millions of dollars to fund a lavish lifestyle.

The SEC claimed that Osorio had illegally used investor money to pay for a Miami Beach mansion, a Maserati car and a Colorado mountain retreat home.

Jeb Bush agreed to return $270,000 that he was paid as a consultant to convicted fraudster Claudio Osorio and Osorio’s companies.

[Gay State Conservative]

The current Rat Party hack masquerading as AG recently told a House or Senate committee that the Former Twelfth Lady won't be indicted regardless of what the FBI recommends.

So,obviously,the fix is in...at least until next January 20.

Clinton Foundation donors and board members shady dealings and criminal convictions.....not quite the everyday Americans championed by Hillary. The best-selling "Clinton Cash" book details the buck-raking Clintons 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 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 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 and 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.

<><>Claudio Osorio fundraised for Hillary and supported the Clinton Global Initiative. He falsified applications to score a loan of $10M tax dollars to build homes in earthquake-ravaged Haiti. Osorio was convicted of financial fraud, using 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.

His company pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative. The ***-kissing Clinton gave him a prize for sustainable development.

.....the FBI is investigating (1) Hillary’s emails, (2) the corrupt swamp that is the Clinton Foundation, (3) the curious relationship between Bill getting paid seven figure speaking fees, and, (4) the Hillary-run State Department doing favors for those who paid the speaking fees......

You got that right.

CIRCA 2008----Former President Bill Clinton has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars speaking on behalf of a Colombia-based group pushing the trade pact, and representatives of that organization tell The Huffington Post that the former president shared their sentiment.

In June 2005, Clinton was paid $800,000 by the Colombia-based Gold Service International to give four speeches throughout Latin America. The organization is, ostensibly, a development group tasked with bringing investment to the country and educating world leaders about the Colombia’s business opportunities.

The group’s chief operating officer, Andres Franco, said in an interview that the group supports the congressional ratification of the free trade agreement and that, when Clinton was on his speaking tour, he expressed similar opinions. “He was supportive of the trade agreement at the time that he came, but that was several years ago.

In the present context, I don’t know what his position would be. It is not only about union trade rights. It is about what benefit or damage it can do to the US economy,” said Franco. “Events with the Clinton campaign [concerning Mark Penn] are not good at all for the trade agreement... Right now it became a campaign issues and that is sad, because it needs to go through.”

The comments were supported by a June 23, 2005 article from the news portal Terra (uncovered by Ben Smith at Politico) in which Clinton offered unambiguous support for the free trade agreement with Colombia.

They appear to be the first public indication that Clinton has, at least in the past, supported the trade deal. But evidence that the former president has been sympathetic to Colombia’s position is widely known. In 2007, Clinton met personally with and accepted an award from Colombia’s controversial president, Alvaro Uribe, during a time when the country was attempting to improve its image within the United States.

Subsequently, Clinton urged Congress to view the country in a more favorable light. (more on this below)

Moreover, Clinton has helped Frank Giustra, one of the biggest donors to the Clinton Global Initiative, score meetings with high-ranking Colombian officials. Giustra has several business interests in the country, and both he and Clinton have collaborated on an effort to fight poverty in developing world by partnering up with mining companies in Colombia and elsewhere. http://nypost.com/2008/12/19/bubba-sheik-ing-the-money-tree/

Has a Grand Jury been convened yet?
Until then, we’ll just have to bide our time...................

CONT---BILL CLINTON--COLOMBIA CONNECTION

Every aspect of the Bill Clinton presidency must be examined for wrongdoing. Recent news reports say the notoriously greedy Clintons used their tax-exempt Clinton Foundation charity to setup a Romney-like money-making private equity fund in the corrupt country of Colombia.

Why Colombia?

WIKI REFERENCE---In 2000, the Clinton administration committed $1.3 billion in foreign aid to the corrupt country of Colombia...... 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.

The Clinton deal 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 Colombia 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)

LONG READ--REST AT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_Colombia

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

UT OH---Obama/s now requesting billions for Colombia---to (cough) curb the drug trade.

[MaxistheBest]

I believe the Observer is owned by Trump’s son-in-law. He’s doing the work that the MSM refuses to do.

[digger48]

There’s rumors that a GJ is involved now but sources are still anonymous.

[Red Badger]

Are they convened in secret? I know that testimony from a GJ cannot be made public, but is its very existence secret as well?..................

[DrDude]

While we are all waiting, does anyone think the FBI/DOJ is going to do anything to the Clinton’s? Many rumblings but no action of any type. BO is totally absent for a reason. Anyone have any ideas?

[digger48]

Something of this magnitude? Who knows.

These are national crimes of the highest order. But one of Loretta’s lackeys would be the one presenting the case, wouldn’t they?

If Justice in involved, they’ll throw the case so we get announcement that they won’t indict just before the election
