So the Clintons took hundreds of millions of dollars in donations to the Clinton Foundation to help Haiti's victims in a huge earthquake. But it appears that about half of that money wound up missing.
Has Hillary ever explained where it all went?
Wall Street Journal: Haiti Disappointed in Clintons' Assistance
Last month, she explains, the news site Tout Haiti reported that two lawyers are demanding an audit of Clinton's management of the IHRC, petitioning Haiti's Superior Court of Auditors and Administrative Disputes.
"There are powerful interests that won't want to see the petition succeed, and it may go nowhere," O'Grady said. "But the sentiment it expresses is spreading fast."
Four years after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti's capital city, Port-au-Prince, and damaged other parts of the country, hundreds of millions of dollars allocated from the State Department's U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to the IHRC are gone, and even more donations to the IHRC have been spent on unfinished projects.
"I really cannot understand how you could raise so much money, put a former U.S. president in charge, and get this outcome," O'Grady quoted a former Haitian official as saying.
Haitians Protest Outside Hillary Clinton’s Office Over ‘Billions Stolen’ by Clinton Foundation
Haitian activists protested outside of the Clinton Foundation in New York over the loss of “billions of dollars” that was meant to help rebuild after the devastating 2010 earthquake.
The activists are claiming the money was stolen through the Haiti Reconstruction Commission that was headed by Bill Clinton. In January 2015, the Clinton Foundation was the target of protests for wasting more than $10 billion and awarding contracts to non-Haitian companies.
The activists also said Haiti as a cover for foreign governments to funnel kickbacks of hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation. They believe that this was done for favors that Hillary was doing for the foreign governments while she was Secretary of State.
Clintons Pushed Most Wasteful of U.S.-Funded Haiti Projects - Judicial Watch
Hillary delivered a heart-felt speech saying “we have been united behind a single goal – making investments in this country’s people and your infrastructure that help put Haiti finally on the path to broad-based economic growth with a more vibrant private sector and less dependence on foreign assistance. And we believe that our work here in Haiti and here in the north is beginning to show results.”
Not really, according to a federal audit of the $1.14 billion that Congress approved to help Haiti recover from the powerful earthquake that killed more than 200,000 and left over 1 million homeless. The probe was requested by a Florida congresswoman who chairs the House Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee because hundreds of millions have been spent in Haiti with virtually no accountability.
Makes me wonder if they built any gas refueling auto stations in Haiti like Obama built in Afghanistan.
