Hillary Did Not Disclose ‘Expensive Gifts’ in Violation of Ethics in Government Act

In a 2011 memo published by Wikileaks, Clinton underling Doug Band described how he secured hundreds of thousands of dollars in free travel and gifts for Bill Clinton and his family. While Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton did not disclose any gifts or free travel, as required.

The gifts were first reported by Alana Goodman in the Daily Mail:

‘In support of the President’s for-profit activity, we also have solicited and obtained, as appropriate, in-kind services for the President and his family – for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the like,’ wrote Band in the Nov. 16, 2011 memo to attorneys conducting an internal review of the Clinton Foundation.

Band is emerging as a tortured soul. Beset by “spoiled brat” Chelsea Clinton, he had to grapple with the ethics conflicts that were so rife in the Clinton camp. In the memo, Band complained that Bill did not have to file conflict of interest forms like other officials at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) despite personally receiving “expensive gifts” from CGI sponsors.

From the Daily Mail :

According to the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group, failure to report certain gifts in a financial disclosure form could violate the Ethics in Government Act or the Federal False Statements Act.

Federal laws ‘require full disclosure of such expensive gifts and reimbursements when special interests use a spouse to target a government official,’ said Ken Boehm, chairman of the NLPC.

‘The just-disclosed emails of Clinton associate Doug Band that Bill Clinton and his family members benefitted from hundreds of thousands of dollars in free travel and gifts from special interests while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State raises substantial ethical and legal issues because the Financial Disclosure reports filed by Secretary Clinton does not show these expensive gifts and reimbursements,’ said Boehm.

More of the same from the Clintons but they feel they're above the law.

[Carl Vehse]

It’s all starting to collapse.

Hillary’s going down.... and she’ll do hard time.

I hate this beotch more each and every day!

[miss marmelstein]

We have an evil, mentally-ill woman running for president. What other country - aside from maybe Romania - has put up a crazy lady for President???

I’ll never forget that for her pains, Monica Lewinsky was presented with an Aeroflot carry-on bag as a reward for her activities in the Oval Office. As Hemingway once said: Hawks do not share.

“More of the same from the Clintons but they feel they’re above the law. “

The don’t just “feel,” they actually “are” above the law. But maybe not for much longer.

[jazusamo]

Amen...Hopefully not.

[vette6387]

She needs to be "Ceaușescued," along with her husband!

Didn’t the previous governor of Virginia and his wife go to jail for accepting gifts from donors?

Violation of Ethics in Government Act

That seems like a slam-dunk case.

It'd be ironic if this is what brings her down, like Al Capone on tax evasion.

[miss marmelstein]

I agree. Although Bret Baier tonight seemed to be blaming Trump for something. Why Trump agrees to meet with this Beaver Cleaver wannabe is beyond me.

[jazusamo]

I agree, what a hoot if something like this would bring down the Clinton Crime Family.

[vette6387]

“I agree. Although Bret Baier tonight seemed to be blaming Trump for something. Why Trump agrees to meet with this Beaver Cleaver wannabe is beyond me.”

Bret Baer is a dutiful borg for Rupert. And from what I’ve seen recently Cavuto has been “told” what to say as well. Right now the only Faux show I watch is Lou Dobbs on FBN. FNC is permanently off at our home.

[miss marmelstein]

Lou is on in ten minutes. I cannot wait. Bret Baier’s show is DISGUSTING.

[astrodude]

Since everyone thinks she’s nutso, she’ll try and plead “Not guilty by reason of mental defect.” as a last resort.

Brett who gave Hillary a question during a Town Hall and Panel of #NeverTrumpers

[jazusamo]

I think you’re right and it wouldn’t be all that bad. Instead of being scott free or living in the WH she’ll be in a padded room in a funny farm somewhere.

That’d be partial justice. :)

GREEDY GRIFTERS!

(OKay, that’s redundant ...LOL)

TAX CHEATS, too!
