Hillary played favorites with huge number of Clinton Foundation donors
The New York Post ^ | August 11, 2016 | By Daniel Halper and Bob Fredericks

Posted on 08/10/2016 11:49:43 PM PDT by NYRepublican72

The shady Lebanese-Nigerian businessman who got Hillary Clinton’s State Department to arrange a high-level meeting was only one of a dizzying number of big ­donors to the Clinton Foundation to score government favors.

The list includes high rollers whose relationships with the Clintons made them even richer; countries with dubious human-rights records; and companies looking to grease the skids to get an edge on the competition.

Frank Giustra, a billionaire mining magnate from Vancouver, pledged $100 million to the foundation in 2005 — and then reaped a fortune from the relationship.

Hillary and billionaire Frank Giustra, left, (billionaire Guistra rec'd your tax dollars from Hillary).

Hes a gold mining mogul......he facilitated the takeover of US uranium assets.... this billionaire received your tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept.

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. Giustra's $100 million contributions go directly:

<><> (1) to the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation, and,

<><> (2) to the Canada-based "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership."

The "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership" in turn sends money to the Clinton Foundation......(according to Canadian tax records researched by "Clinton Cash" author Schweizer).

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

The NY Times reported the "Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership" collected about $33 million US tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept between 2008 and 2013.....$25 million of which was passed back across the border to the US-based Clinton Foundation.

Giustra then pledged $100 million to the Foundation after Clinton helped him clinch the mega-bucks uranium deal.

ITEM---millions of dollars and 1,100 donors are shrouded in mystery in the Canadian Giustra/Clinton operation. The Clinton Foundation signed a memorandum of understanding with the Obama White House agreeing to reveal its contributors every year. The agreement stipulates that the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative (as the charity was then-known) is part of the Clinton Foundation and must follow the same protocols.

SURPRISE: It hasnt.

Caught w/ his pants down, Giustra/s backtracking like crazy---saying Canadas federal privacy law forbids the Canadian-registered Clinton charity, from revealing its donors.

A memo he provided news organs cites fiduciary obligations to its contributors and Canada’s Personal Information Privacy and Electronic Disclosure Act. “We are not allowed to disclose even to the Clinton Foundation the names of our donors,” Giustra says.

However, Canadian tax and privacy law experts were dubious of the Clinton/Giustra claims. A former director knowledgeable about tax policy at Canada's Department of Finance, said he wasnt aware of any tax laws that would prevent the Clinton charity from releasing its donor names. " There's nothing that would preclude them from releasing donor names. It's entirely up to them."

THE CLINTONS' ABILITY TO GET RICH EXPLOITING
NATIONAL DISASTERS UNDER COVER OF THE CLINTON
FOUNDATION IS LEGENDARY and they do it w/ your tax dollars.

Read on.

Haiti, Malta, the Clintons and Digicel

BFF---Clinton and Digicel CEO/billionaire. Dennis O'Brien.
O'Brien chairs the Clinton Foundation's Global Initiative---Haiti Action Network.
US tax dollars poured into O'Brien's coffers thanks to the Clintons.

EXCERPT Free Beacon May 2015--- The Clintons have been working with Digicel CEO Denis O’Brien in Haiti since 2010, in the wake of the disastrous earthquake. Bill Clinton and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been active players in the country before the quake, but would assume almost total managerial control over the recovery effort via the State Department and the Clinton Foundation.

As Peter Schweizer documents in his book, "Clinton Cash," Digicel received millions in U.S. tax dollars from USAID, an agency overseen by the State Department, as part of the Haiti Mobile Money Initiative. The program was designed to establish a mobile money-transfer system that would allow individuals to send donations directly to friends and relatives in Haiti.

The State Department's "USAID Food for Peace" program, which was under the direct control of Hillary Clinton’s top aide Cheryl Mills, benefited Digicel.....to administer money transfers over its mobile network. Haitians received cell phones and a free Digicel account.

Digicel received grants courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, and collected millions in fees from Haitians every time they used the system, and significantly expanded its user base.

By 2012, Digicel had captured nearly 80 percent of the Haitian mobile phone market, and Haiti had surpassed Jamaica as the company’s most profitable market. Revenues were up 14 percent compared to 2011, and Digicel’s subscriber base increased by almost 30 percent during that period. O’Brien, who holds a 94 percent stake in the privately owned firm, continued to rake in cash. In 2014 alone, O’Brien awarded himself $650 million worth of dividends.

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

Time to look at Malta to find more dirt on the Clintons.

BACKSTORY Secy Hillary poured billions of our tax dollars into dirt-poor, earthquake-ravaged Haiti as Bill put on his "do-good" act. But Haitian Americans protested the Clinton Foundation offices say dirt-poor Haitians never got a dime...all of the tax dollars have been laundered into the foundation.

REALITY CHECK In some Haitian mountain villages there's no electricity (maybe generators for a few hours), no water, no septic, etc. - but dirt-poor Haiti does have cell-phone coverage.

Reading the many stories of Clinton "do-goodism" in Haiti....he is invariably standing before a Digicel sign. You can bet your bottom dollar the Clintons get a cut of that action.

That's Digicel's CEO on the left.

The Digicel Group is the Caribbean and Central American telecom empire run by Denis O’Brien, an Irish billionaire officially resides in Malta to avoid taxes..... O'Brien serves as chairman of the Clinton Global Initiative’s Haiti Action Network.

Digicel, the largest mobile provider in Haiti, invested $45 million in the project, which also benefited from $26.5 million in financing from the World Bank-affiliated International Finance Corporation. Hillary also tapped the Sate Dept's USAID agency for more tax dollars for the tax-evadng billionaire.

The State Dept's USAID Food for Peace program, under the direct control of Hillary Clinton’s top aide Cheryl Mills, benefited money-hungry Digicel.....to administer money transfers over its mobile network.

Haitians received cell phones and a free Digicel account; Digicel received grants courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, collected millions in fees from Haitians every time they used the system, and significantly expanded its user base.

But it was Bill Clinton who made it all happen.

the trac-phone wireless is an interesting one. Owned by Carlos Slim, a good friend of Jeb Bush, it received the contract for the so called “obamaphones” (back when George Bush was President actually) and Jeb made a fortune off that deal as he was, conveniently, invested in Trac phone at the time. that’s how the politics of personal enrichment work andt that’s why sooo many people are pissed off at Donald Trump. They have already paid to play, they want to play now.

Maybe if Chris Stevens had enclosed a check to the clinton [crime] foundation with his requests for additional security, Benghazi would just be an unknown hellhole in Libya.

If the chick goes down, then all those other players would need to go down as well. In the end, the chick has political armor up the wazoo based on those "connections".

Only saving grace is if the chick loses and “team Clinton” becomes expendable/a threat that needs to be “cleaned up”.

Good point......need to advance that premise.

CASE IN POINT Nigerian Gilbert Chagoury was convicted in Switzerland of money laundering and of “aiding a criminal organization in connection with billions of dollars stolen from Nigeria.” Since his conviction he has donated millions to the Clinton Foundation. In 2009, after Hillary became Secretary of State, he pledged a whopping billion dollars to the Clintons.

It doesn't take many brain cells to conclude that an individual connected to stolen money pledging a billion dollars to the "do-good Clinton Foundation" is in desperate need of money laundering.

Bill Clinton's inveterate globe-trotting....and his 27 trips offshore to Pedo Island.....means the Clintons have money stashed all over the place.

In fact, L/E looking into Pedo Island underage sex activities found Bill Clinton and Doug Band had over 20 phone nos and email addies. L/E recognizes that as evidence of money laundering and tax evasion.

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

REFERENCE --- When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities.

COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACIES GALORE Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.

But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny.

It has appeared to me for a long that Clinton Foundation is (and always has been) nothing more than a criminal pay to play scheme. It is a giant mechanism to funnel bribes. In a campaign, that could be hard to prove to the electorate but
Trump could focus on something else that the common voter can probably get their thoughts around: at a minimum, this arrangement constitutes a huge conflict of interest both in reality and appearance. Just another example of Hillary incredible lack of judgement.

Might be a case if Clinton loses then some type of “wet work” may “boomerang”. Pandora’s Jar has been opened and the results are very embarrassing to a lot of players/open to exposure with the right prosecution.
