Boeing Gave to Clinton Causes After Hillary Steered Its Russian Contract

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.

In her memoir, Hard Choices, Hillary details she went to bat for GE in Algeria-----a country that donated $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation in violation of an agreement with the Obama administration to place restrictions on contributions from foreign governments.

SHE WRITES: "When the US government decided to solicit foreign bids to modernize its energy sector, I saw an opportunity for advancing prosperity in Algeria and an opportunity for GE to compete for the $2.5 billion contract.". Clinton personally lobbied Algeria's President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to bless the GE contract.

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

New Yorker magazine confirms Bill Clinton pocketed $500,000 for a speech in Moscow that was paid for by “a Russian investment bank" that had ties to the Kremlin” at the time of the lucrative Uranium One deal.

The NYT reported this week on the unseemly transfer of cash to the Clintons from parties interested in a major uranium deal. The Canadian company selling Uranium One to the Russians donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation. And Russians tied to the deal gave Bill Clinton $500,000 for a Moscow speech. So critical was the deal that it needed the approval of the US State Department.....facilitated by Hillary.

The Clinton Foundation got Millions from a Russian who trades with Iran: Victor Pinchuk owns the EastOne Group investing company and the Interpipe Group. He is the second richest man in Ukraine AND the largest individual donor to the Clinton Foundation......the Foundation spinoff "The Clinton Global Initiative" received millions from Pinchuk while Hillary was Secy of State.

<><> Was Uranium One corporate money ever deposited offshore?

<><> In Russian banks? Maybe Sberbank or Vnesheconombank?

<><> Maybe funneled from there to secret numbered accounts in Zurich and Geneva?

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

<><> Maybe deposits in secret accounts held by Obama?

We peons are asked to believe that Obama was on the golf course when foreign policy decisions were being made......looking like he "didn't know" about all these radical changes in foreign policy.

Heck, it wasn't b/c Valerie "forgot" to tell him.

<><> Maybe the deal was Obama pleading abject ignorance about US foreign policy being jerked around by the Clintons.......as long as he got his cut of the Clintons' foreign policy finagling?

The New York Times confirmed that Hillary Clinton violated the Memorandum of Understanding she signed with the Obama administration WRT the Russian uranium deal...and w/ Algeria.

FACT CHECK The 2008 Memorandum of Understanding (at the time of her confirmation as Secy of State) laid out the new rules for donations to the Clinton Foundation intended to allow the Foundation to continue its “important philanthropic work around the world,” while avoiding conflicts.

The Memorandum was signed by Clinton confidante Bruce Lindsey, then the Clinton Foundation’s chief executive...

Also signed by Valerie Jarrett, then co-chair of Obama’s transition team...later insider Jarrett became Obama's Senior Deputy Advisor....now more popularly known as "The WH Laundress".
