Which Hillary Clinton scandal is bigger? Is it the one involving her likely illegal secreting and destruction of email records from her time as secretary of state, or is it the one involving the massive conflict of interest she wholeheartedly embraced by using her family’s nonprofit foundation to collect millions of dollars from foreign government donors — again, during her time as secretary of state?
Time will tell, but the foreign-donor scandal got a fresh dose of ugliness Monday with a CBS investigative report revealing that the Clinton Foundation received a massive injection of money from “at least one” Chinese company with very close ties to the Chinese government.
CBS reported that the Clinton Foundation received a $2 million pledge from Rilin Enterprises, a private Chinese construction company helmed by Wang Wenliang, who also happens to be a Chinese parliamentary delegate. The donation came at roughly the same time as the company was actively lobbying the State Department and Congress — to the tune of $1.4 million. Rilin was involved in construction contract work for the Chiense embassy in Washington, D.C., according to the report.
Rilin may be private, but those with knowledge of its place in China’s government-controlled economy describe the company in terms that almost make it sound para-governmental.
“If the point is you are not going to take money from foreign governments, then his [Wang’s] construction company is as close to not just the Chinese government, but its Ministry of State Security as they could possibly be,” one policy observer told CBS.
The Rilin donation appears to have been in the works while Clinton headed the State Department. The actual donation of $2 million was made “in 2013,” the report indicates; Clinton left the State Department in February of that same year.
Before the Clinton email scandal overtook some of its limelight in early March, the former secretary was about a week into the foreign donor scandal. That story, first reported by The Washington Post, revealed that Clinton had violated a highly tailored agreement with the Obama administration about what conflicts of interest the Clinton Foundation could and couldn’t get away with while she served as secretary of state.
Among those was a ban on the acceptance of donations to the Clinton Foundation from foreign governments — a ban that the Foundation explicitly violated at least once, and that it appears to have violated on numerous other occasions. Among the foreign nations that contributed to the Clinton Foundation during Hillary’s tenure were Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Algeria, Norway, Australia and the Dominican Republic. Some of those, including Qatar, were simultaneously spending millions of dollars actively lobbying the State Department during the same period.
Hillary does not hide guilt well. Barry is oblivious to his guilt. Hillary KNOWS she is guilty and HER EYES SHOW IT.
he said, “Because she was a liar.” “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

Do you remember the pilgrimage The Rapist and The Email Queen made to China with about 40 US government transport planes to kiss the rings of the Butchers of Beihing?
Exactly WHY is that a big surprise? Clinton’s gave everything they could to the Chinese when they were in office and the “dividends” are returning home. Both Hitlary and Billy Boy need their asses in the slammer or under the ground.
Me havee little hunchee this comes back to bite barackee in the @ss.
Or a video of certain statements being made to certain Musloid psychos.
Be a shame if one or both of them were to surface at an inopportune moment.
Well duh. They have to pay the Clintons back somehow for the missile technology Billy gave them.
But he knew about the emails. I can feel it.
First thing I thought of ... Charlie Tree’s back.
Yes.
Roger that. I believe that because of slick Willie, the Chinese can put a nuclear weapon through the lower left hand pane of your upstairs bedroom window. Though I don't wish it on anyone, there must be a special place in Hell for these slime bags.
Too bad the clixtoons can only sell loral missile launching secrets once.
