The cash donations Hillary simply has no answer for (weapons deals with WMD?)
Salon ^ | 5/31/15 | David Sirota

Posted on 05/31/2015 1:05:16 PM PDT by Libloather

Among all the rivers of money that have flowed to the Clinton family, one seems to raise the biggest national security questions of all: the stream of cash that came from 20 foreign governments who relied on weapons export approvals from Hillary Clinton’s State Department.

Federal law designates the secretary of state as “responsible for the continuous supervision and general direction of sales” of arms, military hardware and services to foreign countries. In practice, that meant that Clinton was charged with rejecting or approving weapons deals — and when it came to Clinton Foundation donors, Hillary Clinton’s State Department did a whole lot of approving.

While Clinton was secretary of state, her department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors. That figure from Clinton’s three full fiscal years in office is almost double the value of arms sales to those countries during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.

**SNIP**

That year, the Algerian government donated $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation and the next year Clinton’s State Department approved a one-year 70 percent increase in military export authorizations to the country. The jump included authorizations for almost 50,000 items classified as “toxicological agents, including chemical agents, biological agents and associated equipment.” The State Department had not authorized the export of any of such items to Algeria the year before.

The Clinton Foundation's business relationship with 20 foreign governments raises real questions about her judgment

The goal was to get rich. People will die. Get used to it.

The Justice Dept is currently engaged in soccer fraud so this will have to wait for a while.

Let me get this straight: this was published in Salon?

Even the idiot liberals are smelling the rot downwind of the Clintons?

I guess I'll believe this when I start seeing indictments.

This is Salon’s way of saying, “Tsk, tsk, this is terrible. However shall we clean this up?”

Not that the Salon editorial staff thinks Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, has done anything particularly wrong (after all, Herself is running for President for the very BEST of reasons!), but the optics are, well, sorta bad.

Salon’s task, should they choose to accept it, is to dress this up in the very best face that can be put upon it, and also pass around, as innuendo and in whispers, that “Republicans are doing the same kind of thing!”

Projection is a highly developed art form with this crowd.

Well put. Had the article really been critical (such as of a Republican who did something like it), the author would have called for a Special Prosecutor - or just a rope.

What’s the end game for evil people (Clintons) like this?

Now we know why she chose State over VP. She could make more money at State. She and Bill have a lot to answer for. Prayerfully indictments and death sentences (for treason) are coming and any ill-gotten honor or money they have will be taken from them for eternity.

This is exactly the same tactic that was used during Ken Starr’s investigation of Clinton.

Some operative on Starr’s staff kept leaking each new discovery to the press. People were appalled, one tidbit at a time.

By the time the final report was delivered, every salacious detail had been previously leaked. So the report was a yawner.

The media was able to spin it by saying, “So what? We already knew all of that. It’s already been dealt with. It’s old news.”

And a lot of people said, “Well, OK then. Never mind.”

That’s what is happening here. Get all the dirt out, well ahead of the election, and Salon says, “Tsk, tsk” to make it seem like they don’t approve.

If Hillary gets the nomination (which may not happen), these disclosures will be brushed aside by the media, and by the LoFo/NoFo Democrat voters.

Salon doesn’t give a damn about this country... so this means they’re backing Sanders the ‘rape fantasy king’ - or that guy from Baltimore...

I've thought about this before. I don't think they have one. Play the string as long as they can, shutdown all their crooked enterprises and retire. I guess.

At first glance, the Clinton’s lucrative speeches and ungodly Foundation donations seem to provide the bulk of the couple’s income. Bill's honoraria increased dramatically---earning some $50 million during Hillary's four-year term as secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.

The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day!

I firmly believe the Clinton Foundation's gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealth----and the way they make billions sub rosa---intertwining their vaunted "charity" work w/the perks and ptivileges of public office.

The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities......though little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillary’s non-speech business interests.

Recent reports indicate the Clintons were party to multi-billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...

THE CON ARTISTS SOLD EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN---Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ their Foundation's "do-good" activities....and enabled by Hillary's catbird seat at the State Dept.

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

TAXPAYERS DEMAND LAWS WHICH BAN ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS FROM FORMING FOUNDATIONS THAT SELL OUT AMERICAN INTERESTS---Obama's still in office and has two Foundations (that we know of)---ready to cash-in like the Clintons.

Did Clinton Coven factotums Cody Shearer and Sidney Blumenthal use stolen top-secret FBI or CIA files for the Clinton intel op?

Seems rather odd that they could be amiably walking around w/ all that info.....without having access to the global reach of the US intel apparat.

NOTE TO THE FBI AND CIA Just a reminder. Having the intel is one thing....but profiting from it is a big no-no.
