Bill Clinton Asked About Delivering Paid Speech to Group Tied to Iranian Government
Washington eacon ^ | September 15, 2015 | Morgan Chalifant

An aide to Bill Clinton sought permission from the State Department in 2012 for the former president to deliver a paid speech to a group tied to the Iranian government that has been campaigning for an end to U.S. sanctions against the country.

Fox News reported:

The email from the former president’s office was sent on June 4, 2012, from an aide to Bill Clinton to three aides for then-Secretary Clinton, including Sullivan as well as State Department chief of staff Cheryl Mills. It concerned an event in the U.S. hosted by the National Iranian American Council.

“Would USG have any concerns about WJC doing a paid speech for [the] National Iranian American Council (‘NIAC’)?” Ami Desai, an aide to the former president, wrote. “We have been approached by the National Iranian American Council (‘NIAC’) for President Clinton to speak at a fundraising gala they are putting on.”

Desai sent the email regarding Clinton’s potential speech engagement with the National Iranian American Council around the time then-secretary of State Hillary Clinton dispatched her top foreign policy aide to meet in secret with Iranian diplomats regarding the Tehran’s nuclear program.

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.

This, of course is the original phrase often erroneously rephrased as "money is the root of all evil".

Is this shocking? It is surprising but not shocking knowing Bill Clinton and his history of egregious moral bankruptcy, both on selling out his country and his very soul for personal gain. You'd wish, you'd hope that a former leader of this country, husband of candidate for President would have some scenario considered beneath contempt, a bottom to Bill Clinton's moral abyss beyond which he would consider too contemptible to engage in. But so far it remains a point that merely exists in the abstract.

The avaricious Clinton Foundation picked the pockets of countless entities.....all salivating for payback when (and if) Hillary wields the presidential pen.

JUST FOR STARTERS Some Clinton Foundation donors and board members’ shady dealings and criminal convictions are legendary. The blockbuster “Clinton Cash” book details the buck-raking couple’s sordid circle.

•The SEC charged a Clinton Foundation trustee with misallocating $9.5M from his database company. Shareholders sued for using the company jet to fly the Clintons around and paying Bill Clinton a $3M consulting fee.

• A Clinton Foundation trustee was accused of paying Bahraini executives (roughly $52 million) to win sales contracts for US-based Alcoa which later settled with the DOJ for $384M.

• A Clinton Foundation trustee donated to Hillary’s campaigns...gave the Clintons millions in honoraria and millions more to the foundation. The trustee was arrested for allegedly defrauding a bank. He pleaded guilty in a Bklyn court to “funneling more than $180,000 in illegal contributions to three federal candidates,” Hillary among them.

• An Indian legislator sat at the head table at the Clinton Global Initiative and dined privately with the Clintons at their home. He gave between $1-5 million to the Clinton Foundation....then was arrested for bribing members of parliament WRT a US-Indian nuclear-technology agreement....he was booted from his party, ending his political career.

• Venezuelan Claudio Osorio fundraised for Hillary and supported the Clinton Global Initiative. He falsified federal applications and bilked US taxpayers to score a loan of $10M tax dollars to build homes in earthquake-ravaged Haiti. Osorio was convicted of financial fraud, using federal “humanitarian assistance for personal benefit,” and got 12 years in federal prison.

• He was on the federal terrorist no-fly list yet a Lebanese-British businessman donated $460,000 to Miami Democrats for voter-registration and attended the Clintons’ WH Christmas party. He was later convicted of money-laundering and “aiding a criminal organization WRT billions of dollars stolen from Nigeria.

The Lebanese businessman’s company pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative. The eco-minded Clinton awarded him a prize for “sustainable development.”

The latest State Dept release of Hillary emails shows another 150+ classified documents were found on the Clinton Foundation server......

Why would the Clinton Foundation have classified emails in their possession?

ANSWER: Because they generated the huge amounts of money the Clintons pocketed via bribes, honoraria, foundation donations, insider business deals, consultancies, etc...

Gotta be a connection between Iran paying Bill to give a speech and US ntl security info being electronically transferred to the Clinton Foundation.

.Clearly, the Clintons have taken bribes for their phony phoundation.

The next question is: who have they bribed? I’m very concerned about the computerized voting machines as much as the dead people voting and the illegal aliens taking liberties they do not have. We also need to check out the voter registration autocrats’ bank accounts.

I like your spelling of “Phoundation.” Says it all when preceded by “Phony.”

Needs repeating so, there I go.

Remember that billions of dollars disappeared under her reign at State. Funneling money and US government secrets to the Clinton run operation indicates a very longterm plan of some kind. Combine that with their own spy org started with access to FBI files and the fact that most of Obama’s top officials early on were Clinton loyalists, it adds up to no good.

Significantly, the avaricious Clintons took money from lots of tax-exempt "foundations".......

Now keep in mind: The IRS has noted that the biggest money laundering and tax evasion fraud they've come across is one foundation writing a check to another foundation....

It's the way crooked tax-exempts skim off money.....in a pre-arranged deal, the check receiver takes a cut then deposits the bulk of the money offshore for the checkwriter's use later.
