Peter Schweizer's blockbuster expose “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.” (The pair have made at least $136.5 million since 2001)
Posted on 05/03/2015 5:33:42 AM PDT by Liz
Schweizer’s book painstakingly follows the money to such characters as Canadian mining tycoon Frank Giustra, a $31.3M donor to the Clinton Foundation, who chauffeured Bill on his private jet. The details of the sordid Clinton operation vary, but the M.O. is fairly consistent:
One: Dodgy rich businessman, often a foreigner with a mega-deal in some corrupt country, possibly run by a dictator, writes a check that buys him the status of friend of Bill Clinton (FOB). The check is payable to the Clinton Foundation, or to Bill himself, as an honorarium for a meaningless idealistic speech that is essentially Bill giving a homily at a whorehouse.
Two: When the cameras are turned off, Bill receives ultra-luxurious travel on someone else’s dime and attends a lavish party in his honor held by some dictator or shady businessman connected to the new FOB. Talks go on behind closed doors.
Three: Millions of dollars of donations start flowing into the Clinton Foundation from FOB's and their associates.
Fourth: Potential roadblocks to the mega-deal in the Senate or the State Dept melt away. The deal goes through. The new Clinton friend gets very, very rich.
Fifth: Hillary forgets to disclose these donations.
Six: The press doesn’t notice what just happened.
Schweizer’s book is necessarily incomplete. An outfit that is brazen enough to hide its emails from public scrutiny, then delete 30,000 of them, has many other safeguards to keep its favor-banking secret. But virtually every chapter provides a tantalizing set of leads — curious characters to be interviewed, complex deals to be explored, connections to be untangled.
“Clinton Cash” is the blueprint to a tower of important questions about the ex-president and the president in waiting. The press is eager to go back on gaffe patrol — this book shouldn’t let them.

I’d like to be ‘dead broke” like they are...
What is fascinating to me, and admittedly anecdotal, are the people I talk to (admittedly not too many anymore) and the comments I read at various sites online ... is that the Libtards really can’t stand her but they don’t care and will vote for her anyway.
I simply won’t do that and I don’t understand that mindset. I mean, if I don’t like a Conservative, I certainly won’t vote for the Dim, but I won’t vote for the Conservative either.
I just don’t get it.
Political criminals
It has to do w/ libs love of power-—even though they don’t like her, they go along w/ the execrable Hillary b/c she will keep the libtards in power.
*sigh* Sad but true.
In order to be a liberal, you have to suspend critical thinking and behave like a mind-numbed robot and pull the "D" lever no matter what!

The NY Times reported that the "Canadian-basd charity" --- 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.
Is the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership ----registered as a "Canadian charity" in late 2007-------a money laundering operation---w/ tax dollars flowing from the State Dept----then laundered across the border to secret LLC accounts?
NOTE: One of the most common money laundering MO's is one foundation writing a check to another foundation---the check receiver takes a cut then transfers the bulk elsewhere for the donor's use later---how they skim off tax-free money for themselves...or maybe for campaign expenses?
Exclusive–Documents: Congress Charges Secret Fee to Land Top Committee Spots
Breitbart Big Government ^ | 10-21-13 | Wynton Hall / FR Posted by afraidfortherepublic
Members of Congress must pay secret fees known as “party dues” to the Democratic and Republican parties to secure and maintain top committee chairmanships and assignments, newly uncovered internal documents reveal.
Senior congressional staffers say the committee price lists have long been rumored to exist but that few people on Capitol Hill have seen them, giving them an almost "mythical" quality.
The Schweizer book contains copies of the Democratic and Republican price lists detailing how much money lawmakers must raise to obtain and keep their seats on congressional committees.
The so-called “party dues” lawmakers must contribute for committee assignments are separate and apart from the fundraising they conduct for their own campaigns. If lawmakers fail to make their tribute payment to their party, they can lose their place on a powerful committee.
“These party dues are not voluntary,” writes Schweizer. “Members are not asked to pay—they are required to pay.” In the 2013-2014 election cycle, the going rate for a Democratic assignment as the ranking member on a top committee like the House Ways and Means or Financial Services Committees is $500,000.
Schweizer reports that Democrats also use a “members points system” that rewards its members for attending party fundraisers.(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
This whole episode of a 25% portion of our uranium being sold to Russia .. who WE KNOW will sell (or give) it to Iran is the perfect definition of TREASON.
Any one who does not see this is willfully blind to what the Clintons have done and who the Clintons really are.
So, anyone who votes for Hillary is essentially VOTING AGAINST AMERICA.
Excellent point.
The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilized----to follow the paper trail and determine how monies changed hands; to determine the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting.
<><> L/E needs to examine bank accounts of The Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership and the Clinton Foundation.
<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;
<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.
<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes.
===============================================
NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.
Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.
=============================================
<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of The Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership and the Clinton Foundation checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.
L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures;
Tax fraud may also be a factor, easily facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes.
<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets.

FBI TIPS PAGE--YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS ---https://tips.fbi.gov
SUBJECT: Collusion, conspiracy, bribery
IN RE: financial irregularities
REFERENCE: govt fraud, falsified documents, wire transfers, accounting fraud, etc.
NARRATIVE Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of multiple conspiracies by The Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership and the Clinton Foundation to collude in sub rosa deals to personally profit and/or to facilitate redistribution schemes of US foreign aid.
OF INTEREST TO LAW ENFORCEMENT The FBI should interrogate individuals in The Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership and the Clinton Foundation for evidence of multiple schemes to falsify official documents to further fraudulent schemes. The FBI should investigate any and all official documents submitted by The Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership and the Clinton Foundation for falsified entries.
Crimes might include--State Dept govt fraud, conspiracy, collusion, falsifying official State Dept documents and charity filings (a felony), money laundering, tax evasion, extortion, theft, misuse of public facilities.
Examine Clinton and Giustra tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.....particularly entries for "interest income."
<><> EPA said there's no record of donations to the Clinton Foundation.
<><> The “Office of Minority Health and Human Services,” is listed but it's not clear what this donation referred to, or even which federal or state office it came from.
<><> The Arkansas Dept of Human Services received a donor "gift receipt" but said they never expended tax dollars to the Foundation.
===============================================
This opens up a truck-load of questions about the veracity of the Clinton donor list...and whether it lists phantom donations as a ruse to cover-up wrongdoing. This is a well-used criminal MO--along w/ keeping two sets of books. Criminal behavioral scientists also say when exposed, criminals ditch their computers and wipe hard drives clean.
One Indian donor says he did not give the $5 million donation the Clinton Foundation listed in his name---which was ridiculed in India---b/c it amounted to his entire net worth.
==================================================
FACTS ON FILE Hillary was in charge of approving billion dollar deals to federal contractors which coincided w/ $100 million or more listed as donations to the Clinton foundation.
Soon after Hillary exited, State Dept officials issued a "special management alert"-----that it had "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors.....warning of “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.
===================================================

Key Paragraph, this is the biggest part of the scandal involving the uranium, it isn’t the US uranium, it is the Kazakhstan uranium. Hillary and Bill whether they knew it or not, were facilitating Russian take over of Kazakhstan’s uranium.:
“Mukhtar Dzhakishev, the head of the Kazakhstan agency that oversees the country’s mining, said that Hillary Clinton pressured Kazakh officials to sell uranium assets to Giustra’s firm and that Bill Clinton adviser Tim Phillips said Hillary would not meet with him until Kazakh officials agreed to Giustra’s deal. Giustra’s firm, after a series of mergers, wound up controlling large amounts of uranium mining in the US and is now wholly owned by the Russian firm that built the Bushehr nuclear reactor in Iran.”
“and the comments I read at various sites online ... is that the Libtards really can’t stand her but they don’t care and will vote for her anyway.”
I see the same thing. Not just for hillary, but for any candidate running on the democratic ticket. The liberals acknowledge that their candidates of choice are horribly corrupt. Morally, financially, politically. That their candidates are so extreme, that they’re to left of karl marx.
I think politics are their true religion.
Liz, thanks. Keep me on your Hillary ping list when possible. I appreciate it.
It’s not Hillary they are supporting. It’s their ideals alone. Marx and socialism.
They amassed an ominous amount of political power and money under Barack Obama, and overtook American institutions and picked winners and loser corporations by fiat.
I’m sure they were all stunned at his accomplishments, including Hillary. The Democrats will not throw this victory out easily just because Hillary is an overweight bore. She has learned what can be done and going forward will be far more Leftist than she was ever known to be before.
This dues business among senators certainly, was in play in Mississippi propping up Thad Cochran and the Barbour machine against the feisty conservative who was somehow holding on until Barbour enlisted the black community to smear him in flyers, and local radio rants.
The McConnell meeting was called in DC summoning even the reluctant senators to cough up campaign dough for the operation in MS.
