Enemies of Hillary Clinton waiting to discredit her bid for the White House are likely to seize on news that one of the biggest benefactors to the Clinton Foundation has been trading with Iran and may be in breach of US sanctions imposed on the country.

Ukrainian oligarceh Victor Pinchuk, 54, has courted the Clintons for at least nine years – in the United States, the Alps and Ukraine.

Earlier this year, he was confirmed as the largest individual contributor to the Clinton Foundation, whose aims include the creation of “economic opportunity and growth”. He also has links to the Tony Blair Foundation and represented its biggest single donor in 2013.

Aside from the blatantly biased lede, the disclosures in this article could do a lot of damage to the Witch, if the pubbie candidates choose to use them. In this case, given what Walker, Cruz, and Fiorina have been doing so far, I actually have some hope.

As far as Jebbie's concerned, it could do a lot of damage, since he's been sucking up to the Witch long after this has at least been partly known. One more reason to vote against him.

the article says one of the main goals of the clinton foundation is “economic opportunity and growth”...that is probably correct...just doesn’t go on to say it is for them and not the world’s disadvantaged countries...all wealthy foundations, gates, soros kennedy and other are merely scams to hide the dollars they are always wanting to add...hey tax you not me or thee...scams scams scams...tho other biggest lie is that all the rich are republicans...all I see are liberals...it is the WORKING middle class start up, small companies that are likely republicans!

“[P]rior to taking the office” and no indication what Halliburton was doing was illegal, two rather large differences.

Probably so. That odd lede I refer to might be there to cover Obola’s tracks.
