MONETIZING THE PRESIDENCY---More proof that the conniving Clintons monetized US govt policy for their own gain. Every aspect of Clinton's presidency needs to be examined. Taxpayers demand Bill and Hillary Clinton's looting and pillaging the Treasury be exposed.
Case in point: Recent news reports say the conniving Clintons used their tax- exempt Clinton Foundation charity to setup a money-making private equity fund in the corrupt Central American country of Colombia.
Why Colombia?
WIKI REFERENCE---In 2000, then-Pres 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)

==============================
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.
Bill Clinton has helped Frank Giustra, one of the foundation's hundred million dollar donors, to score meetings with high-ranking Colombian officials.
Mining mogul, Giustra, has several business interests in Colombia, and both he and Clinton have collaborated on an effort to (cough) "fight poverty in developing world by partnering up with mining companies in Colombia and elsewhere."

UT OH---Obama/s now requesting billions for Colombia---to (cough) curb the drug trade.
Joe Tacopino was a Clinton defender during monica-gate.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s still on their team.
