Hillary Clinton put the State Department up for sale, with top aides pulling strings and doing favors for fat-cat donors to the Clinton Foundation — including a shady billionaire, according to smoking-gun emails released Tuesday.
The stunning revelations include how wealthy contributors seeking influence or prestigious government gigs could fork over piles of cash to get access to Clinton’s inner circle, including top aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills.
...
Chagoury is a Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire who gave the Clinton Foundation between $1 million and $5 million. In 2009, he also pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative.
The construction magnate, a close pal of Bill Clinton’s, has financial interests around the world. He was convicted in Switzerland in 2000 of money laundering and paid a $66 million fine in a plea deal.
Abedin’s quick response to Band paid dividends down the road.
In June 2011, Band formed the Teneo consulting firm, with Bill Clinton as the paid honorary chairman. And in 2012, Abedin won permission to work as a $15,000-a-month consultant for Teneo in a special arrangement that allowed her to remain on the State Department payroll.
The disclosures came in a batch of 296 pages of State Department documents released by Judicial Watch, a watchdog group that has been fighting in court to recover Clinton’s emails through the Freedom of Information Act.

Not even a smidgeon of corruption or the appearance of impropriety.
Sure, right.
I’m not shocked by this. Criminals will do what criminals do.
What I AM shocked by is that no one or “authority” is doing a damn thing about it. Although I’m not overly shocked by that as most all of them are on the take as well.
The Council of Peoples’ Commissars at work again?
Not a bit shocking. There will be total carnage when she is prez. She will make Erdogon dictator of Turkey look like a piker.
We will be lucky to look like the streets of Rio when she is prez.
What’s so shocking?
People who look beyond the tissue of lies presented daily in the MSM have known about this since at least the 1990’s.
This is in the NY Post, not the NY Times, so it really didn’t happen.
Echoing what others have already posted, this is not shocking. It isn’t shocking that she is corrupt, and it isn’t shocking that the media will ignore it to protect her. It also won’t be shocking that her supporters won’t care.
Nothing to see here, Hillary is untouchable in the media, Trumps strays one inch and is destroyed daily. But no double standard at all.
Rod Blagojovich anyone? Isn’t he serving 14 years at club fed for the same thing.
Yeah right, NY Post... shocking! Only to the truly brain dead nimrods of the world (i.e. libtards) is this news shocking in any way. It is, in fact, the sole reason for Kankles POS set the server up in the first place. Maybe the gutless, limp-wristed pansy RePUKElicans can recall FBI Director Comey and have him reconcile/justify his lame-assed "no intent" excuse for not indicting the POS.
Why is it shocking?
It’s Standard Operating Procedure. It’s how government works. At the Federal, State, Local, School Board and County levels. Particularly when Democrats are in charge.
"I'll have more flexibility when I'm president"
“What I AM shocked by is that no one or “authority” is doing a damn thing about it.”...
Read somewhere that there IS an investigation (FBI) going on with little fanfare about it. If true, hope the charges come after Mr. TRUMP is president and not the other way around. Can a standing president pardon him/herself if found GUILTY?

Blago says.... why am I in jail then?
I am hoping and praying that this corruption is what brings down the Clintons in October...
If we can keep pushing it, it just might happen...
The Clinton Foundation is a RICO laundering money organization, that is what ‘Clinton Cash’ is all about...
Who cares what she does. Voters only want free stuff. The more free stuff the more people will vote for her.
