Clinton Pimps her position

[OntheRail]

The largest individual donor to the Clinton family business has conducted trade with Iran, perhaps in breach of US sanctions.

Or then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was jsut blinded by 8.6mil in donations to her Foundation.

Come on now, this is not her Foundation , it has always been Slick Willys.

They do have friend and family employees and perks though I guess. They do such good work, it does not really matter how sleazy the source of donations, because it is put to good work.

watching FOX news every day now, it seems like they are on a mission to blast Hillary into the thin air and swallow her up. they are also subtlety going after Jeb Bush as well.

The NY Times reported today that a Canadian mining company made millions of dollars of donations to the Clinton Foundation while working on a deal to sell American uranium mines to Russia. The deal required approval by the State Dept. Hillary was Secy. of State at the time. The deal gave Russia control of 20% of US uranium production capacity.

At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.

Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Reuters reports today that the Clinton Foundation is refiling at least 5 years of tax returns to correct "errors" in identifying donations from foreign governments. The Foundation said that it may have to re-audit as many as 15 additional years of tax returns.

For three years in a row beginning in 2010, the Clinton Foundation reported to the IRS that it received zero in funds from foreign and U.S. governments, a dramatic fall-off from the tens of millions of dollars in foreign government contributions reported in preceding years.

Those entries were errors, according to the foundation: several foreign governments continued to give tens of millions of dollars toward the foundation's work on climate change and economic development through this three-year period. Those governments were identified on the foundation's annually updated donor list, along with broad indications of how much each had cumulatively given since they began donating.

And the hat trick for the day: the Washington Examiner reports that 22 of the 37 corporations nominated for the Secretary of State's Award for Corporate Excellence — and six of the eight ultimate winners — while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State were also donors to the Clinton family foundation.

Silicon Valley giant Cisco was the biggest foundation contributor nominated in 2009, giving the Clinton charity between $1 million and $5 million. The company then won the award in 2010 when eight of the 12 finalists and two of the three winners had donated to the foundation.

And, according to ABC News, Bill Clinton's speaking fees doubled and, sometimes tripled, when Hillary became SOS. Now, I don't have a problem with how much Bill makes. Having left the White House dead broke, he needs to make all he can. The problem is WHO was paying the high dollar amounts.

From the article. Where he once had drawn $150,000 for a typical address in the years following his presidency, Clinton saw a succession of staggering paydays for speeches in 2010 and 2011, including $500,000 paid by a Russian investment bank and $750,000 to address a telecom conference in China. Also, records support the premise that former President Clinton accepted speaking fees from numerous companies and individuals with interests pending before the State Department. :eek:

The Obama Administration signed off on this scandal. They gave the OK -- and don't think they didn't -- regardless of how the NY Times article was written. Seven Obama cabinet officials signed off on this illegal and immoral sale of uranium to the Russians.

All these left wing Clinton and Obama SOBs sold out the United States of America, plain and simple. \

Yet, because the media is basically anti-American as well, they will basically get a pass on this criminality. And too many citizens, simpletons, fools, and liberal partisan slugs, here on PA and throughout the country, will defend them.

I don't think the GOP or their stooges in the press can come with enough dirt on Hillary to change enough votes for the GOP nominee to win. The current field of GOP wantabees all have enough problems on the issues that will drive any Hillary voter who think about voting republican back to Hillary. I think the only chance any republican has of winning is to get Hillary to take herself out the race. I do not see her quitting. I know it drives conservatives, but a lot of America have a major problem with at least some part of the conservative agenda that is big enough to drive them to democrats like Hillary even with her baggage.

The threshold question is the Dem nomination. Even a lot of Democrats were getting tired of the Bill and Hillary entitlement syndrome. All of this drama is going to make it much more likely that she will face a real battle for the nomination. If she knows she is going to have to put up a real battle for the nomination, followed by a tougher battle in the general if she wins the party, she may just decide to stay home and make Bill's life miserable.

I think Bill wants her to win even more than she does. :p

Even the liberal press is turning ugly on the issue.

You are probably correct.

But Benghazi and her "What difference at this point does it make?" comment makes her a very scarey future Commander in Chief.

Already enough out there.
Problem is dems are too stupid to grasp it.
Or care.

Dems are all about what is good for thier party, not America.

Sad.

[Clocker]

This mess is so bad, even the NY Times editorial board has noticed that there is a problem, and is calling on Hillary to come clean on the money.

As they point out, Hillary signed an agreement with the administration for full disclosure of finances when she took the Secy. of State job, and she did not keep that promise.

The donations, which included $2.35 million from a principal in the deal, were not publicly disclosed by the foundation, even though Mrs. Clinton had signed an agreement with the Obama administration requiring the foundation to disclose all donors as a condition of her becoming secretary of state. This failure is an inexcusable violation of her pledge. The donations were discovered through Canadian tax records by Times reporters. Media scrutiny is continuing, with Reuters reporting that the foundation is refiling some returns found to be erroneous.

I am unfamiliar with the law that says a foreign national can not donate to a charity. Also, if you have any actual, legal evidence that Mr. Pinchuk and his company violated the sanctions, please present it. Because all I see are a bunch of may haves and perhapses.

The sanctions are very complex, confusing and in many cases contradictory. You can easily find things that seem illegal when looking at one section, that become allowable when considering the whole.

Here is another factor to consider. If you search, you will find a story about fines that Pinchuk and Interpipe Group paid for violating US sanctions against Russia in the Ukrainian situation. Why enforce sanctions against Russia and not against Iran?

Oh wait. Silly me. It's because Obama's a Muslim.

No Clinton's a conniving lying snake...

The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation failed to disclose contributors who donated to its health access program for several years while Hillary Rodham Clinton was secretary of state, a violation of the foundation's ethics agreement with the Obama administration, a foundation official told Reuters this week.

Today
The truth is this lady is a was a complete failure as secretary of state, John Kerry equals her and is just as inept. Mitt Romney is liberal on social issues and would flip flop to whatever group was his audience. But Mitt Romney would not hire a bumbling idiot for secretary of state, this is what we have today. China plays us for a fool, mother Russia as a whole has NO pocket money and everyday people want us dead more than the Iranians because what money they have only covers half of what it paid for prior to Obama. Vladimir Putin is becoming more of an asshole every day because of need, say what you will of Bush and Cheney but overall the volatility of the world stage was stable. If Russia is squeezed further it will want world war III. Each mistake made over the last 6 years combined has the whole world upside down as we march faster to collapse. Cuba is looking pretty good to Obama who would love to see the Castro's die off so he could go down there and run commie nirvana until his 90's.
This is quite a mess we are in with everyone in the United States thinking me, me, and me. There is more than enough room for democrat's and republican's to agree we need to take a turn for the better in foreign policy.
