EXCERPT The taxpayer financed-Skolkovo Scandal – While serving as secretary of state, Clinton oversaw a program meant to “reset” relations with Moscow and improve ties. The program centered around the Russian city of Skolkovo near Moscow with the stated aim of “identifying areas of cooperation and pursuing joint projects and actions that strengthen strategic stability, international security, economic well-being, and the development of ties between the American and Russian people.”
Hillary's State Dept program transformed Skolkovo into a technology hub akin to a Silicon Valley. Sensitive American technology was transferred to the Russians, substantially enhancing their military and cyber capabilities. The US Army and the FBI concluded that Russia had exploited the program for military applications. The FBI warned American technology companies doing business in Skolkovo that the Skolkovo project was a means by which the Russians would acquire dual use technologies and apply them for military ends. According to investigative author Peter Schweizer, Russian and American companies and individuals involved in the Skolkovo fiasco “had major financial ties to the Clintons.”
Moreover, during the Russian reset period, those entities provided the Clintons with “tens of millions of dollars” in the form of “contributions to the Clinton Foundation, paid for speeches by Bill Clinton, or investments in small start-up companies with deep Clinton ties.” (hat tip frontpagemagazine.com)
EXCERPT then-president Bill strongly favored US govt action WRT the German government; now speculations surface that there could be a relationship between the Bertelsman cash flowing in for Bill's over-the-top $30 million book deal and Bertelsmann's ability to buy up a third or so of the American trade book publishing industry without anti-trust problems arising.

Some observers inside Germany believe the German government has some explaining to do for the donation that appears under the Clinton Foundation heading “Donors and Grantors”.“Why does a German Ministry supports the election campaign of a U.S. presidential candidate?” blogged Vera Lengsfeld — former civil rights activist and German parliamentarian. “It seems German taxpayers unwittingly financed Hillary Clinton’s election campaign.” There is also the question pending: how many German govt ministries gave money to the Clintons.
REFERENCE-—The Australian newspaper the “Herald Sun” ran an October article entitled, “Why have we donated to Clinton’s foundation?” The paper noted “Former Prime Minister Gillard donated $300 million of our money to the Clinton-affiliated Global Partnership for Education.” That’s one humongous amt of Australian govt money that fell into the hands of the conniving Clintons. The Herald Sun needs to dig deeper-—to determine if any of that money took a circuitous route then landed back into the personal coffers of the donors. Could have happened like this:

BACKSTORY When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore-——into a labyrinth of financial entities.
REMEMBER Billy’s infamous “pass-through account.”
STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE-— Billybooboo’s infamous “WJC LLC” pass-through account....funds deposited then emptied the same day. Funds just disappear, and no scrutiny involved. Funds passing through Billybooboo’s WJC LLC could end up in: (a) offshore accounts, (b) money market accounts, (c) hedge funds, (d) another foundation account, (e) assorted investment accounts....without garnering public scrutiny.

The conniving Clintons shamelessly exploited the presidency, and her position at State, doling out US govt favors to foundation donors, They had the “do-good” con game down pat.
