Robin Hood in Reverse: The Clinton Foundation under Fed Scrutiny
American Thinker ^ | August 14, 2016 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 08/14/2016 1:41:21 PM PDT by Kaslin

This week, the Daily Caller News Foundation’s star reporter Richard Pollock revealed that

Multiple FBI investigations are underway involving potential corruption charges against the Clinton Foundation, according to a former senior law enforcement official.

The investigation centers on New York City where the Clinton Foundation has its main offices, according to the former official who has direct knowledge of the activities.

Prosecutorial support will come from various U.S. Attorneys offices -- a major departure from other centralized FBI investigations.

Such an investigation is long overdue and the American experiment in representative democracy may well depend on its success. It appears to have been underway for some time as FBI director James Comey earlier declined to comment on whether the investigation into Clinton’s emails also involved an investigation into the foundation.

Heading up the investigation is U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney for New York’s Southern District, who is known for his aggressive and successful prosecutions.

We’ve long been aware that foundation is a “slush fund” that pays out far more in salaries and expenses to its officers and employees than it does for charitable ends.

But the present focus is on the coordination of the foundation and Hillary as Secretary of State to benefit her friends and contributors.

I keep hearing on TV that there is no DOJ investigation into the Clinton foundation. What to believe?

It doesn't matter what they find, no reasonable (Democrat) prosecutor will bring charges. /SARC

That happens a lot where the Clintons are concerned.

First there's an investigation, then there's no investigation. Then there's an indictment coming, then there's no indictment coming.

The story oscillates back and forth wildly. The Clinton media reports only the 'truth' that helps them look good.

Some numbskull talking head was actually praising the clinton foundation earlier. Threw out some numbers of children it helped. Nobody on the panel had the wits to tell him if he got that stat from the clinton foundation the. There is no reason anyone should believe it.

Even more ridiculous, he tried to tie the issue graft in the clinton foundation to Trump’s tax return. And the rest of the panel let him get away with that idiocy as well

I sense these “investigations” will be designed to exonerate, not prosecute.

“a ‘slush fund’ that pays out far more in salaries and expenses to its officers and employees than it does for charitable ends”

Which is also the governmental model of charity.

Would you donate to a charity w/90% overhead?

That’s what you get when you have govt do it through taxation.

Most money goes to cover employees, their benefits, the buildings, and infrastructure. Hard to beat actual charities where they’re staffed by volunteers.

And don’t be fooled by the idea that social security is any different. The way they tend to report that is how the payroll taxes are going right out to the beneficiaries - but they don’t include the OPM and GSA side of the equation - where the budget for SS employees and buildings come from.

THE CLINTONS' ABILITY TO GET RICH EXPLOITING NATIONAL DISASTERS
UNDER COVER OF THE CLINTON FOUNDATION IS LEGENDARY
and they do it w/ your tax dollars.

Haiti, the Clintons and Digicel

BFF---Clinton and Digicel CEO/billionaire. Dennis O'Brien.
O'Brien chairs the Clinton Foundation's Global Initiative---Haiti Action Network.
US tax dollars poured into O'Brien's coffers thanks to the Clintons.

EXCERPT Free Beacon May 2015--- The Clintons have been working with Digicel CEO Denis O’Brien in Haiti since 2010, in the wake of the disastrous earthquake. Bill Clinton and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been active players in the country before the quake, but would assume almost total managerial control over the recovery effort via the State Department and the Clinton Foundation.

As Peter Schweizer documents in his book, "Clinton Cash," Digicel received millions in U.S. tax dollars from USAID, an agency overseen by the State Department, as part of the Haiti Mobile Money Initiative. The program was designed to establish a mobile money-transfer system that would allow individuals to send donations directly to friends and relatives in Haiti.

The State Department's "USAID Food for Peace" program, which was under the direct control of Hillary Clinton’s top aide Cheryl Mills, benefited Digicel.....to administer money transfers over its mobile network. Haitians received cell phones and a free Digicel account.

Digicel received grants courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, and collected millions in fees from Haitians every time they used the system, and significantly expanded its user base.

By 2012, Digicel had captured nearly 80 percent of the Haitian mobile phone market, and Haiti had surpassed Jamaica as the company’s most profitable market. Revenues were up 14 percent compared to 2011, and Digicel’s subscriber base increased by almost 30 percent during that period. O’Brien, who holds a 94 percent stake in the privately owned firm, continued to rake in cash. In 2014 alone, O’Brien awarded himself $650 million worth of dividends.

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

Time to look at Malta to find more dirt on the Clintons.

BACKSTORY Secy Hillary poured billions of our tax dollars into dirt-poor, earthquake-ravaged Haiti as Bill put on his "do-good" act. But Haitian Americans protested the Clinton Foundation offices say dirt-poor Haitians never got a dime...all of the tax dollars have been laundered into the foundation.

REALITY CHECK In some Haitian mountain villages there's no electricity (maybe generators for a few hours), no water, no septic, etc. - but dirt-poor Haiti does have cell-phone coverage.

Reading the many stories of Clinton "do-goodism" in Haiti....he is invariably standing before a Digicel sign. You can bet your bottom dollar the Clintons get a cut of that action.

That's Digicel's CEO on the left.

The Digicel Group is the Caribbean and Central American telecom empire run by Denis O’Brien, an Irish billionaire officially resides in Malta to avoid taxes..... O'Brien serves as chairman of the Clinton Global Initiative’s Haiti Action Network.

Digicel, the largest mobile provider in Haiti, invested $45 million in the project, which also benefited from $26.5 million in financing from the World Bank-affiliated International Finance Corporation. Hillary also tapped the Sate Dept's USAID agency for more tax dollars for the tax-evadng billionaire.

The State Dept's USAID Food for Peace program, under the direct control of Hillary Clinton’s top aide Cheryl Mills, benefited money-hungry Digicel.....to administer money transfers over its mobile network.

Haitians received cell phones and a free Digicel account; Digicel received grants courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, collected millions in fees from Haitians every time they used the system, and significantly expanded its user base.

But it was Bill Clinton who made it all happen.

Bill Clinton and his wealthy buddy, gold mining mogul, Frank Giustra,
cameras snapping, made a big show of Clinton/Giustra do-goodism in
earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

REALITY CHECK Then-Secy Hillary supposedly gave Haiti $3.1 billion tax dollars for Earthquake Relief.

But Haitian-American protesters claim that American aid to Haiti was a cover-for foreign governments to funnel kickbacks of hundreds of millions of dollars to The Clinton Foundation.

For example, gold mining expert Giustra "gave" the Foundation $100 million....after Bill helped him make billions off uranium deals. Hillary's brother mysteriously got a rare gold mining license in Haiti (now on hold due to controversy).
