Hillary Clinton: too networked to jail
UPI ^ | August 4, 2017 | By Madhav Das Nalapat

Posted on 08/04/2017 7:16:08 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

President Donald Trump is correct in his view that there seems no appetite within the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the U.S. Department of Justice to pursue an investigation into the Clinton Foundation, including the actual sources of the copious streams of cash that flowed into its coffers during the period when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.

How has Hillary Clinton continued to enjoy immunity from prosecution?

The answer rests in the fact that over the eight years that they were in power, Bill and Hillary Clinton co-opted a large number of officials into being their agents. Those responsive to requests from the Clintons saw their careers enhanced, while those who were recalcitrant suffered professionally.

The Clintons were back in full play, as the 44th president made his peace with the Clinton machine by allowing his administration to be dominated by Clinton loyalists. Hundreds of officials have therefore become part of the Clinton machine, including several who are nominally independent or Republican.

Any investigation into the Clintons would expose them as well. Hence the closing of ranks against any genuine investigation of the doings of Bill and Hillary Clinton. The former first lady is too well networked to seriously probe, as any such inquiry would place at risk the immense support network of the Clinton machine within the bureaucracy. Hillary Clinton in 2017, quite simply, is too big to jail, just as certain banks were too big to fail in 2008.

Not networked...but has too much on too many people. Compromised. I say arrest her and let the chips fall where they may. Better start getting aggressive or the Republic is finished.

On pain of death is the only way to clean up DC. There has to be a book out there in print somewhere that is instructive in finding just 10 lone wolf Constitutional defenders in every state to eliminate the top 10 threats to the Nation from their home state. Keep it homegrown and thin the weeds out. When the criminals who double as politicians like Hillary being killed off for their unrepentent criminal behavior others that come after them will think twice about gambling their lives, and the liberty of the Nation for personal gain.

Awww, I'm so sorry. Of course, I don't suppose any of the troops clearing Fallujah, house by house, had any special appetite to stick their heads in a doorway.

I know a lot of old geezers who had "no appetite" to sleep in the mud, eat C's and get shot at on a daily basis 45 or 50 years ago, either.

If you cannot or will not do the job, admit that you are incompetent, lazy or chicken... or all of the above, and resign.

"Military law. Acts of cowardice have long been punishable by military law, which defines a wide range of cowardly offenses, including desertion in face of the enemy and surrendering to the enemy against orders. The punishment for such acts is typically severe, ranging from corporal punishment to the death sentence."

Clinton crony, Sid Blumenthal, is the most creepy, and sleazy entity ever seen in politics. He crawled out of nowhere in the 90s, and continues to slither around, cashing checks from the Clinton Foundation and assorted entities. An expose on this guy is long overdue. Think Obama is mysterious? Take a gander at Blumenthal.

ITEM--At the same time Blumenthal was pushing Secy Clinton to all-out war in Libya, suck-up Sid was privately pushing his business interests WRT contracts with the "new" Libyan government — a government that would exist only after US military intervention in Libya that deposed Qaddafi.

ITEM--Blumenthal was engaged in massive conflicts of interest since he was simultaneously being paid by (a) The Clinton Foundation, (b) Hillary's 2016 organizers, and, (3) businessmen w/ interests in Libya.

If Secy Clinton knew all that, then her actions in circulating memos composed by Blumenthal were egregious. If she did not know, her recklessness is subject to US laws.

ITEM---to its donors---and to the world beyond---the Clinton Foundation hired Sid Blumenthal to..... (wait for it)..... "promote Bill's presidential legacy." That's what Sid was supposed to be doing for his $325,000 foundation salary.

ITEM---so if the Clinton Foundation Board of Trustees signed off on the Blumenthal hire without being appraised of the full scope of his duties....that would violate state laws and place the trustees in legal jeopardy.

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

REFERENCES The implications of the Blumenthal revelations are huge, as the Washington Free Beacon points out:

<><> Among the newly revealed Benghazi e-mails were a pair of messages from July 2011 in which Blumenthal described efforts to secure Libyan government contracts for Osprey Global Solutions, a company in which Blumenthal has admitted to having a financial interest.

<><>Blumenthal warned Clinton that French companies were looking to scoop up security contracts from the Transitional National Council, the revolutionary government of the Libyan resistance, and plugged Osprey’s ability to be an American counterweight.

<><> “It puts Americans in a central role without being direct battle combatants,” Blumenthal wrote of Osprey’s TNC contract. He described his efforts in “putting this arrangement together through a series of connections, linking the Libyans to Osprey and keeping it moving.”

<><> Clinton forwarded that message to Jake Sullivan, her deputy chief of staff, and asked to discuss it later.

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

Clinton Foundation employee Sid Blumenthal had inside govt info and was constantly in touch w/ Secy Hillary.

<><> For public consumption, Sid was beng touted as a Clinton Foundation hire---the factotum hired to preserve Bill's pesidential legacy (cue laugh machine).

<><> Sid's emails show he had classified State Dept info almost verbatim (as confirmed by the NSA).

<><> How did classified info get into Sid's possession? Did he pass it on to anyone else?

<><> Blumenthal was urging Hillary to bomb Libya b/c he had profit-making business interests predicated on a new Libyan govt.

<><> Sid cunningly used scare tactics----telling Hillary that Obama would lose reelection if the US didn't bomb Libya.

Hillary passed on this information to Obama.....did O know it came from a person he banned from govt employment?

Thanks for the intelligence on Blumenthal. The stench of corruption reeks from Clinton and Blumenthal!

Another aspect of this is that Hillary was eager to have an overthrow of Qaddafi because she wanted to tout that as a foreign policy success. This is why she immediately got on the TV to proclaim: “We Came, We Saw, He Died” and then laughed hysterically.

The other aspect of this, I figure, is they knew they could use this coup to extort money from other countries in the Middle East. Make a donation to the Clinton Foundation or you might see you and your family killed. “Such a same what happened to poor Quaddafi”, says Hillary.

And sure enough, as you reported many months ago, Obama got a sweet post-Presidency contract to teach Muslim girls in Morocco, if I recall.

A CIA listening post would be a gold mine for the creepy scammers...

Sid did manage to get his filthy hands on a bundle.

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

HILLARY'S STATE DEPT SLUSH FUND--Longtime Clinton family crony and Secy Hill's top aide is US govt employee, Cheryl Mills. Amazingly, govt employee Mills also ran a far-off side business.

Mills' "BlackIvy Investments," is developing a privately-financed dry port that will be located 56 km outside of the Port of Dar es Salaam, Africa, and will use shuttle trains to take transit and upcountry cargo to and from the Port.

So how did BlackIvy, a brand new firm with no discernible track record of building ports, manage to become an overnight player in the East African energy market?

It turns out Mills had some help from a company called Symbion Power, which was created to profit off rebuilding efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan after the US invasions.

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

Symbion Power operators happens to be very good friends of Hillary Clinton.

Hillary's pal, Sid Blumenthal was the conniving Clintons' bagman---a $325,000 employee of the Clinton Foundation, he had numerous paid side interests----promoting any number of foreign deals and schemes in which he had a financial interest.....many of which were predicated on the toppling of Libya's Khadaffi.

Blumenthal was ambidextrous---chronically emailing Hillary Libya foreign policy messages w/ one hand....his other hand firmly in the State Dept cookie jar.

In one confidential e-mail to Clinton, Blumenthal was clearly colluding w/ onetime Amb Joe Wilson (Valerie Plame's hubby) to help himself to the tax dollars in the State Dept cookie jar.

GAME ON Amb Wilson pumped himself up as a 'director' of Symbion Power---an outfit seeking millions of dollars in contracts from an obscure government agency chaired by Hillary....the Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC)

In September 2010, Hillary's MCC awarded Symbion $47 million tax dollars for (cough) 'power projects in Tanzania.'

EVER WONDER how much of the $47 million tax dollars got to Tanzania....after the players divvied it up among Blumenthal, Wilson, the Clintons, Obama?

NOTE Millenium is also the source of the 100 million tax dollars Michele gave to Morocco "to teach Muslim girls" to be held by, and "administered" by the Obama Foundation.

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

FREEPER ACTION--DO THIS NOW: demand the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) books be opened. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways.........govt parasites profiting at taxpayers' expense.

I suspect you're right.

Hillary was too busy feathering her own nest and basking in her own glory.

Horrible government employee... a so so wife and an somewhat adequate mother... Not a lot going for her beyond her exalted 'victim-hood' at the hands of the man she chose to marry... "Queen for a Day" melodrama...tacky stuff.
