Hillary Clinton: Congenital Rule-Breaker.
National Journal ^ | April 30, 2015 | Ron Founier

Posted on 04/30/2015 1:23:10 PM PDT by lbryce

Hillary Clinton doesn't play by the rules.

That's not a partisan attack. It's not a talking point. It's not a fantasy. It's a fact—an agonizing truth to people like me who admire Clinton and her husband, who remember how Bill Clinton rose from a backwater governorship to the presidency on a simple promise: He would fight for people who "work hard and play by the rules."

The evidence is overwhelming and metastasizing: To co-opt a William Safire line, Hillary Clinton is a congenital rule-breaker.

"More than 180 Clinton Foundation donors lobbied her State Department." "That's not illegal," writes Vox reporter Jonathan Allen, "but it is scandalous." The coauthor of a fair-minded Clinton biography, Allen notes that while there's no evidence of illegal corruption, "The size and scope of the symbiotic relationship between the Clintons and their donors is striking." He adds, "The Clintons have shown they can't police themselves."

Vox reporter Jonathan Allen writes: "More than 180 big buck Clinton Foundation donors lobbied her State Department." "That's not illegal, but it is scandalous." Allen notes:"The Clintons have shown they can't police themselves."

The Clinton spin on the explosive Schweizer book is that there's not a "shred of evidence" of criminal wrongdoing, or as ABC's George Stephanopoulos helpfully repeated over the weekend, "There's no smoking gun."

The party-line is that "it’s extremely difficult to identify a direct quid pro quo"....b/c while Hillary was Secy of State, foreign funny money was moving around from hand to hand with big money deals approved which she could say were going to be approved anyway......at the same time, foreign money was flowing into the charitable Clinton Foundation, not Hillary’s bank account.....

THE CLINTON MO---rather than taking cash from blatantly illegal activities (THAT WE KNOW OF TO DATE) and then cleaning it through legitimate businesses, the cunning Clinton Foundation (1) mops up cash from wealthy foreigners, (2) bundles it within a larger organization to hide the money’s original source, and then (3) funnels the cash from that legitimate charity into the Clinton Foundation coffers....

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

LOOKING THROUGH THE WRONG END OF THE TELESCOPE The Buckraking Clinton Foundation sucking up foreign donations is morally reprehensible----but the real crimes are what exactly they are doing with the corporate/foreign monies once its in their Foundation's tax-exempt coffers.

So how'd they do that? Remember, Wall Street makes money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watchers weigh-in.

EXHIBIT ONE--- Dec 05, 2011---Fox News Report: Bill Clinton Reaped Big Bucks from Corzine Firm Before Collapse--- MF Global Employee Links Clinton to the Bankrupt Firm

A former MF Global employee accused former president Bill Clinton of collecting $50,000 per month through his Teneo advisory firm in the months before the brokerage careened towards its Halloween filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, reports Human Events.

Teneo was hired by MF Global’s former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his connections with Clinton’s political family, said the employee, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared retribution, according to Hum/Events. Teneo is a dual-track company with one side devoted to merchant and investment banking and the other side set up to provide image and strategy consulting services. Clinton is the chairman of the company’s advisory board, reports Hum/Events.

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

EXHIBIT TWO--Then-Secy of State Hillary gave her close aide, Huma Abedin, “State Dept special status".....Abedin was working for Hillary at State....... AND simultaneously working for Bill Clinton, as a private contractor for his company, Teneo Holdings.

Abedin, reportedly had private email addresses on the Clinton email server system (underlining Democrats' greatest fear: the intersection of undisclosed foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton’s secret email address. Huma Abedin's sweetheart deal: (1) an outside private six-figure consultant at the State Department, and, (2) “special government employee” status, and worked a sideline---as a private contractor.

One of Huma's clients was Bill Clinton's Company----Teneo Holdings----self-described as a dual-track political/banking consulting firm that calls itself the “next chapter in strategic advisory.”

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

EXHIBIT THREE---An earlier NYT's expose tarred Bill Clinton w/ Teneo's sub rosa dealings. Teneo is run by Clinton aide---Doug Band. Prosecutors found Band and Clinton listed in pedophile's Jeffry Epsteiin's records as having a shocking 21 email addresses and tele nos. Can you say money laundering? L/E recognizes multiple phone nos and email as the classic MO for money- laundering and tax evasion.

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

EXHIBIT FOUR---Chelsea's husband runs a hedge fund that gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons---even as reports surfaced that Mezvinsky's hedge fund had "underwhelming" returns.

The WSJ reports extensively on the fund's underperformance since its inception and Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs colleagues — Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon — began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund. Some of Eaglevale's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton."

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

EXHIBIT FIVE-- The eternal Clinton/Goldman Sachs connection. Then-Pres Clinton's WH aide Rahm Emanuel also worked as a Goldman Sachs lobbyist.....both at the same time

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

Here's Hillary cozying up to Goldman Sachs.

Then-US Sens Clinton and Corzine. Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs
executive suite, buying his NJ Senate seat office for $65 million; then buying
the NJ governorship. Out of office, he ran a hedge fund where $1.5 B went missing.

....Democrats are becoming known as the "Party of Corruption." .....the Clintons have been so overt and "in your face" about it, that it's become impossible to ignore/hide.......

Democrats insanely continue to defend or just ignore the situation, so that the party is fast-becoming the permanent minority party.....Democrats' decimation at 2014 midterms was in large part due to the corruption to foist the Obamacare atrocity on a recalcitrant citizenry.

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

Some observers note that the Democrat-controlled Senate passed Obamacare "after a series of unsavory transactions that purchased the aye votes of several shrewdly extortionate Democrats"....with a huge pile of money still unaccounted for. The most unsavory was then-Sen Landrieu's $4.3 billion "Louisisana Purchase."

THE PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Sen Landrieu (recently lost her reelection bid) sold her aye vote in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu

FORBES REPORTED the Democrats’ nailed Landrieu’s support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a (cough) "drafting error," the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount.

MORE HERE http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml

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

BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage. In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied. Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare----not the measly $200 million but $4.3 billon was attached to the Obamacare bill earmarked for Landrieu.

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

How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was calculatedly attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid (cough) "failed to catch and fix it," is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity.

The $4.3 billion handoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare....and how tax dollars were laundered to get lock-stepping Democrats' votes.

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

O/Care is a huge money-laundering operation---everybody got a cut. From F/L Michelle and her pal who made zillions botching the rollout web site using a phony company---to Obama admin insiders...Jonathan Gruber, and of, course, salivating Dumbocrats.

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

The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. We still do not know where these billions went.---O/care allocated some $6 billion tax dollars which has yet to be traced.

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

I don’t know if congenital is quite the right word but here at the farm we noticed from the gitgo that both clintoons just could not bear to give a straightforward answer to anything. Time of day, surf’s up, wind direction-—didn’t matter. They just have a bend in their heads that keeps them from giving straight answers, or any answers. There really is only one cure for it.

I'm not buying what he's selling.

If people like Ron Fournier actually valued "truth", they would never have admired "Clinton and her husband" to begin with.

Instead, they have worked assiduously throughout the decades to ensure that the actual truth of how the Clinton crime syndicate works has been obfuscated and hidden.
