Clinton Foundation HQ Protested For ‘Missing Money’ In Haiti Recovery

The Clinton Foundation is facing protests due to its mismanagement of resources for the post-earthquake recovery efforts of Haiti.

Five years after a disastrous earthquake ripped through the small island nation, disturbing reports of a lack of progress in the country’s recovery have angered many Haitian Americans.

The country is still in ruin. Only 900 homes have been built in the last five years even though over $10 billion was donated from the international community to help rebuild Haiti.

The Clinton Foundation, which led fundraising efforts for the recovery, has been the focus of many protests.

The Clinton Foundation is not a campaign fund. There is nothing illegal about a charitable organization accepting foreign donations.

It should be noted the OP blog was written by an author with a right wing bias.

Just remember the yardstick you are using here about a candidate and dealings with foreign countries and firms.

It should be noted that this is a Clinton slush fund. It employs Clinton 's friends and political allies. Obama asked that this foundation not continue to accept foreign money while she was Secretary of State. Now that she maybe running for president they change that policy?.

Both Clintons should step down from the Foundation if she runs for office.

Yeah how about rename it, and have new people put in positions of reforming the whole damn thing. Minus the Clinton's cony friends. Get people in there who actually want to help people more than they want to live high on the hog off donated money

Hillary violated ethics agreement with Obama her foundation took foreign money while she was Secretary of State. This money grabber should be president? What a joke


Foreign governments gave millions to foundation while Clinton was at State Dept

The Clinton Foundation accepted millions of dollars from seven foreign governments during Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, including one donation that violated its ethics agreement with the Obama administration, foundation officials disclosed Wednesday.

Most of the contributions were possible because of exceptions written into the foundation’s 2008 agreement, which included limits on foreign-government donations.

The agreement, reached before Clinton’s nomination amid concerns that countries could use foundation donations to gain favor with a Clinton-led State Department, allowed governments that had previously donated money to continue making contributions at similar levels.

In one instance, foundation officials acknowledged they should have sought approval in 2010 from the State Department ethics office, as required by the agreement for new government donors, before accepting a $500,000 donation from the Algerian government.

I was sorry to hear about it this morning. I was so hoping she would get the nomination.No way would the cow have won the presidency with all the other baggage.

This should surprise no one the Clinton's have always taken stuff like this right to the very edge.

Foreign money works as good as our stuff...

It works to buy influence and that could be a big problem.

People on both sides rally against contributors influencing people and getting pay backs. Having a president owing other countries is hardly in our best interest.

 

[Political Junky]

Foreign governments buying influence with the Clintons Bill loves that foreign money and so does Hillary.

The Clinton Foundation has dropped its self-imposed ban on collecting funds from foreign governments and is winning contributions at an accelerating rate, raising ethical questions as Hillary Clinton ramps up her expected bid for the presidency.

Recent donors include the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Australia, Germany and a Canadian government agency promoting the Keystone XL pipeline. . . .

United Arab Emirates, a first-time donor, gave between $1 million and $5 million in 2014, and the German government—which also hadn’t previously given—contributed between $100,000 and $250,000.

A previous donor, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has given between $10 million and $25 million since the foundation was created in 1999. Part of that came in 2014, although the database doesn’t specify how much.

Hillary Clinton extended her office not only to make calls but also to approve policy and financial arrangements worth billions back to these countries? How will the American people ever be satisfied we are getting her undivided loyalty? No matter how much she protests, her judgment would be questioned as influenced by gratitude toward the foundation’s wealthy patrons. And, of course, a president cannot recuse himself or herself from dealings, so there is no practical way to avoid the conflict.

Clinton Overrules Secretary of State

The alleged improper export by Hughes of satellite technology was cited as a key
reason when Clinton's secretary of state, Warren Christopher, rejected a plan to
give the Commerce Department full authority to control satellite exports.

According to a Sept. 22, 1995, memorandum, Christopher rejected plans to give
Commerce the authority to approve satellite exports after an interagency study
noted that "significant" military and intelligence capabilities could be lost.

The memorandum stated the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies strongly
opposed the policy change because Hughes exported two satellites with sensitive
cryptographic technology without first getting a State Department munitions
license. Cryptographic technology is used to scramble communications sent to
satellites to prevent unauthorized access.

President Clinton, who transferred the power to regulate sensitive satellites to
Commerce, under Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, ultimately overruled Christopher.

Clinton's transfer allowed the Chinese army to acquire advanced U.S. technology
for military purposes. Hughes satellites currently provide the Chinese army with
secure communications that are invulnerable to earth combat and highly accurate
all-weather navigation for strike bombers and missiles.

Hughes satellites purchased by Shen also provide direct TV and cable TV
broadcasts to most of Asia. Thus, cable and pay-per-view services help pay for
the Chinese army satellite communications. The brilliant planning and logistics
mean that Chinese military communications pay for themselves.

Clinton Legacy - A New Arms Race

The satellite and missile technology obtained from Hughes by the Chinese army is
critical for the design and manufacture of missile nose cones and electronic
missile control systems. The technology clearly helped the Chinese army field a
new generation of ICBMS, including the Dong Feng 31 missile, which can drop
three nuclear warheads on any city in the U.S.

The success of Shen is a story of missiles, politics and greed. Gen. Shen
succeeded in using Hughes and President Clinton as valuable tools to obtain
weapons that are now pointed at the United States

.

China won and the U.S. lost what may very well be the first round of World War
III. Gen. Shen led that victory and he did it with a checkbook. The Clinton
legacy for the 21st century is a new arms race

Hillary’s State Department OK’d Bill’s big-money speeches
Ethics reviews came easy at Hillary Clinton's State Department, documents show

But unlike hundreds of big-dollar Bill Clinton speeches that sailed through a State Department ethics approval process while Hillary Clinton served as America’s top diplomat, this one raised a note of caution that the Chinese government might actually be funding the speech or planning to profit from it.

In hundreds of documents released to POLITICO under the Freedom of Information Act, not a single case appears where the State Department explicitly rejected a Bill Clinton speech.

The Clintons are about the Clintons. They are as sleazy as they come. They made all their money from being in government, as they shake down people in flying in private Jets paid for with donated money.

More funny business from Hillary "conspiracy"

Hillary Clinton conducted her official business as Secretary of State on a private email account, hiding them from laws requiring archiving and ultimate public disclosure. We know this thanks to a front-page story in the New York Times by Michael S. Schmidt. The revelation comes in the wake of the shocking story that the Clinton Foundation accepted major donations from foreign governments, raising the ugly possibility that quid-pro-quo understandings were reached, but hidden from the public and from history.

Schmidt writes:

Mrs. Clinton did not have a government email address during her four-year tenure at the State Department. Her aides took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act

.

This means that multiple people conspired to violate the legal requirements. This raises the possibility of prosecution under conspiracy statutes. This is important because the underlying law requiring disclosure is relatively toothless:

Penalties for not complying with federal record-keeping requirements are rare, because the National Archives has few enforcement abilities.

But conspiracy statutes do have teeth. Conspiracy to evade legal requirements would be separate charge, and one that could carry criminal penalties, especially if emails, phones, or other “wire” tools were employed. Of course, this presumes a willingness on the part of the Department of Justice to enforce the law, an assumption that may be questionable in the Obama era.
