In the years before Hillary Clinton announced she would run again for president, her top aides expressed profound concerns in internal emails about how foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton’s own moneymaking ventures would affect Mrs. Clinton’s political future.

The emails, obtained by hackers and being gradually released by WikiLeaks this month, also are revealing how efforts to minimize potential conflicts at the foundation led to power struggles and infighting among aides and Mrs. Clinton’s family.

One top aide to Mr. Clinton, Douglas J. Band, noted in an email that the former president had received personal income from some foundation donors and “gets many expensive gifts from them.”

I bet they’re as ready to revolt as the fbi rank and file.

Maybe someone will look into how Hillary warehoused the entire staff of her undeclared campaign for years at her charity. Inquiring FEC officials might want to look into the stated political purpose of the Clinton Foundation. Their current filings don’t mention one.

The old gray lady deigns to notice something amiss about Hillary?

This pic gives me the creeps. Two con artists, one
a sexual predator, trespassing on US govt property.

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

The thinly-veiled "do-good" groups run by Clinton and Band were obviously selling access. Does anyone else find it startling that w/ Obama sitting in the WH, major US corporations were paying big bucks to gain access to ex-pres Clinton?

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

It's a known factor these corporations have powerful lobbying arms that get big bucks to gain access to our leaders. Do the shareholders in these corporations mind that more and more corporate monies went to Clinton, Band and other operatives for the same reasons the company hires lobbyists?How did the corporations list the outlays to Clinton and Band on their annual corporate statement to shareholders?

Even more startling, Obama seemingly had no problem w/ this. Did he ever wonder why these corporate giants that turn the wheels of the US economy did not ask to meet with him?

“Vexed” them??? How “vexed” will these criminals be in a small, dank prison cell? What a bunch of pathetic criminals. As long as they got their paychecks, they participated in these criminal activities...and condescended to those who didn’t. I hope they hang for their crimes.

AS FREEPER arthurwildfiremarch INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: "The Clintons make so much money from so many sleazy people, there's no time to cover it all by election day. But sometimes ‘quick and easy’ scandals get revealed.....

<><> There's Hillary’s brother mysteriously getting a rare gold mining license in Haiti (said to be on hold due to controversy). Hillary's bro also said "somebody gave him 10,000 acres in Haiti."

And there's Bill Clinton having a ‘we’re saintly’ photo op in Haiti with the notorious, Frank Giustra. Giustra not only mines uranium but also gold. Do-Good Giustra gave 100 million to the Clinton Foundation and is partnered w/ Bill on the ‘Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership’ based in secretive Canada, another money laundering operation. Bill knows all about Canada's secrecy b/c he hung around there evading the draft.

Here's Bill Clinton and his best buddy, gold mining mogul, Frank Giustra.
Cameras snapping, they made a big show of Clinton/Giustra "do-goodism"
in earthquake-ravaged dirt-poor Haiti.

Hey... 10,000 acres is 15.6 square miles....

Haiti is an island (half an island to be precise).

There is a bribe in this stinking mess.

[Liz]

Excellent point.

[Liz]

OMG---that's electronic fraud right there.....
the criminal Clinton schlemiels, in the person
of Podesta, actually document it in by email.

<><> ....the Island initiative budget "as is" includes includes a $100,000 salary for Ira (on top of his CHAI salary) and a staff of nine .....

<><> ...... Swedish post code lottery funds (to be split among them)

<><>....using Clinton Foundation funds to fund AFL-CIO/pension fund retrofit work.

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

Nice find.

If the FBI and DOJ wont move on the Clintons.....violating pension laws is a useable angle...... enlists other laws in this corruption fight....not to mention pensioneers.

[bgill]

Wonder no more. Nothing sticks to the Queen of Teflon.

[mewzilla]

This one’s intriguing...
