WASHINGTON EXAMINER--Boeing reportedly wrote a check for $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation just after the State Department intervened in a multi-billion dollar deal between the Russian government and the aerospace company.

While Boeing lobbied the agency during that time, it had given a total of between $1 million and $5 million to the foundation.

"Boeing's contributions to the Clinton Foundation were primarily for school rebuilding programs in Haiti following the devastating earthquake in that country," said Boeing spokesman Tim Neale. Neale noted some of the company's contributions went through the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, a charitable effort that he said "transcended politics and recognized the work that needed to be done."

NOTE--At last report, Boeing was refusing to handover its email exchanges w/ Hillary.

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

You can bet con artists Bill and Hillary are getting a big chunk of that Boeing arms deal. One clue as to where the shady money is secreted---check Bill's travel schedule.

CLINTON CASH AFFIRMS---Boeing Gave to Clinton
Causes After Hillary Steered Its Russian Contract

The Washngton Examiner ^ | MAY 5, 2015 | 7:04 AM | BY SARAH WESTWOOD / FR Posted by drewh

Boeing gave heavily to the Clinton Foundation after Hillary Clinton helped it secure a major deal with a Russian airline in 2009, author Pete Schweizer noted in his book, Clinton Cash.

The company was also involved in funding one of Clinton's pet projects at the State Department after the agency reportedly brushed aside ethical guidelines to secure a $2 million contribution.

Boeing remains a major partner of the Clinton Foundation, supporting Clinton Global Initiative projects and donating between $1 million and $5 million to the charity. The company also gave $2 million to support the State Department's efforts to host a pavilion at the 2010 World's Fair in China, an event that became highly politicized given the "pivot to Asia" policy Obama's State Department was to pursue. Schweizer notes a $900,000 donation from Boeing to the Clinton Foundation came on the heels of a multibillion dollar contract between the Russian government and the aerospace behemoth.

Clinton pushed for the $3.7 billion deal in Russia as part of a policy she had dubbed "economic statecraft" in which she "would use her diplomatic leverage to help American companies be more competitive overseas," Schweizer wrote. (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...

Isn’t it hilarious that the US has anti-bribery laws, which work to the disadvantage of American companies competing in overseas arenas where bribery is the norm? While, at the same time, contributions to a US domiciled “foundation” run by the Secretary of State and her ex-President husband accept “donations”—and it’s all legal?
