Look a lot of people invested in Clinton Inc and lost their money. The Mueller investigation is to ensure that nobody ever again gets in a position to interfere with the way business is conducted in D.C. ever again. Once Trump is made an example of the people will learn that their leaders are going to be preselected and then elected to serve the interests of the donor class.This whole thing of having an outsider is ruining business that's why the media is going into overdrive to push the correct narrative and hype the paid protest movements.The very idea that someone can become President without being in the pocket of the donor class has to be made a criminal offense. They won't come out and say that but once Trump is dealt with everyone else will get the message and they can get back they get back to the business of using the American taxpayer as their ATM.

Roger Clinton And Tony Rodham Were Both Profited From The Haiti Relief Money Meant To Help Haitians

Roger Clinton Used His Connections To Get A Consulting Job With A Building Firm Seeking Contracts In Haiti. “More recently, Roger Clinton parlayed his family ties into a consulting arrangement with a group of builders hoping to sell houses in Haiti, where Bill Clinton’s private foundation and Mrs. Clinton’s State Department helped direct recovery efforts after the 2010 earthquake.” (Mike Mcintire And Steve Eder, “Roger Clinton Is Wary, Chatty And Still Occasionally Attracting Attention,” The New York Times , 7/6/15)

The CEO Of The Company Stated He Paid Roger $100,000 “To Get Us A Contract Through The Clinton Foundation.”

“’I paid Roger $100,000,’ Mr. Coleman said. ‘Basically, he promised to get us a contract through the Clinton Foundation for a project over there. What he was really trying to do was sell the influence of his brother.’” (Mike Mcintire And Steve Eder, “Roger Clinton Is Wary, Chatty And Still Occasionally Attracting Attention,” The New York Times , 7/6/15)

Hillary Clinton’s Brother, Tony Rodham, Was Also Involved In A Deal Seeking To Build Homes In Haiti During The Clinton Tenure. “When Mr. Clinton worked as a co-chairman of Haiti’s earthquake recovery commission, Mr. Rodham and his partners sought a $22 million deal to rebuild homes in the country.” (Steve Eder, “Tony Rodham’s Ties Invite Scrutiny For Hillary And Bill Clinton,” The New York Times , 5/10/15)

Rodham Stated That He Worked Through The Clinton Foundation, And Sought To Influence Bill, “Because It’s His Fund That We’re Going To Get Our Money From.”

“’I deal through the Clinton Foundation. That gets me in touch with the Haitian officials,’ Mr. Rodham said, according to a transcript of his testimony. ‘I hound my brother-in-law, because it’s his fund that we’re going to get our money from.’” (Steve Eder, “Tony Rodham’s Ties Invite Scrutiny For Hillary And Bill Clinton,” The New York Times , 5/10/15)

Tony Rodham Also Served On The Board Of A Mining Company That Won A Lucrative Haitian Mining Permit, And Whose CEO He Met At A Clinton Global Initiative Meeting

Rodham Also Served On The Board Of A US Mining Company That Won One Of Two Haitian Gold Mining Permits, Which Was Later Placed On Hold. “Controversy surrounding the Clintons only deepened with the recent revelation, contained in an upcoming book by Peter Schweizer, that Tony Rodham - Hillary Clinton’s younger brother - serves on the advisory board of a U.S.-based company that in 2012 won one of Haiti’s first two gold-mining permits in 50 years. After objection from the Haitian Senate, the permits have been placed on hold.” (Kevin Sullivan and Rosalind Helderman, “How The Clintons’ Haiti Development Plans Succeed - And Disappoint,” The Washington Post , 3/20/15)

Rodham Was Introduced To The CEO Of The Mining Company

At A Meeting Of The Clinton Global Initiative. “In interviews with The Washington Post, both Rodham and the chief executive of Delaware-based VCS Mining said they were introduced at a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative - an offshoot of the Clinton Foundation that critics have long alleged invites a blurring of its charitable mission with the business interests of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their corporate donors.” (Kevin Sullivan and Rosalind S. Helderman, “Role Of Hillary Clinton’s Brother In Haiti Gold Mine Raises Eyebrows,” The Washington Post , 3/20/15)

Rodham, Who Describes Himself As A Facilitator, Has Used His Family Connections For Decades To Further His Business Ventures.

“On and off for two decades, the affable Mr. Rodham has tried to use his connections with his sister and his brother-in-law, former President Bill Clinton, to further a business career that has seen more failures than successes. The connections to the Clintons have given Mr. Rodham, a self-described ‘facilitator,’ a unique appeal and a range of opportunities, like addressing Chinese investor conferences and joining an advisory board of a company seeking permission to mine for gold in Haiti.” (Steve Eder, “Tony Rodham’s Ties Invite Scrutiny For Hillary And Bill Clinton,” The New York Times , 5/10/15)

I don’t have the facts in this case but this I do know. Banks that an institution uses do not have to be located in the same jurisdiction as their office location. My pension is from an outfit that is incorporated in Delaware, with offices in NYC, and their bank that get’s their cash income and sends out their pension checks is in Illinois. Quite often those receipts are simply mailed to a P.O. Box which is a P.O. box used by the bank servicing a company. Do I/we know that was the case with the Clinton-Bush foundation’s use of the P.O. Box in Baltimore? No. But it would have been possible, and legal.

Here's Bill Clinton having a "Look at Sainted Me" photo op in Haiti with the notorious, Frank Giustra.
Giustra not only mines uranium but also gold. Do-Good Giustra pledged $100 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Giustra is partnered w/ Bill on the ‘Clinton Giustra Enterprises. (Nowhere in the world is anybody that altruistic.)
Bill knows all about Canada's secrecy laws b/c he hung around there evading the draft.

Bill Clinton and his best buddy, gold mining mogul, Frank Giustra looking to exploit Haiti.
Cameras snapping, they made a big show of "do-goodism" in earthquake-ravaged, dirt-poor Haiti.

2016 State Dept Trafficking in Persons Report ---HAITI: Tier 3

Haiti is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Most of Haiti’s trafficking cases involve children in domestic servitude who often are physically abused, receive no payment for services rendered, and may be kept from school.

A significant number of children flee employers’ homes or abusive families and become street children. A May 2015 UN report documented members of its peacekeeping mission in Haiti sexually exploited more than 225 Haitian women in exchange for food, medication, and household items between 2008 and 2014. Female foreign nationals, particularly citizens of the Dominican Republic, are particularly vulnerable to sex trafficking and forced labor in Haiti.

Other vulnerable populations include Haitian children working in construction, agriculture, fisheries, domestic work, and street vending in Haiti and the Dominican Republic; women and children living in camps for internally displaced persons set up as a result of the 2010 earthquake; members of female-headed or other single-parent families; children in private and NGO-sponsored residential care centers; and Haitians without documentation, including those returning from the Dominican Republic or The Bahamas.

Haitian adults and children are vulnerable to fraudulent labor recruitment and are subject to forced labor, primarily in the Dominican Republic, other Caribbean countries, South America, and the United States.

The Government of Haiti does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and did not demonstrate overall increasing efforts compared to the previous reporting period. Having been placed on Tier 2 Watch List in the preceding four years, Haiti is not making significant efforts to meet the minimum standards and is therefore placed on Tier 3.

In December 2015, the government inaugurated the inter-ministerial anti-trafficking committee. The government also finalized its action plan, and investigated and prosecuted trafficking cases during the reporting period. However, the systemic weaknesses of the justice system in disposing of cases and the lack of funding for, and coordination among, government agencies impair efforts to prosecute traffickers.

The government’s interagency effort to formalize victim identification and referral guidelines, like other priorities, gained little momentum due to the protracted political impasse over the scheduling of Haiti’s elections.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HAITI: Vigorously investigate, prosecute, convict, and sentence traffickers, including those responsible for domestic servitude and child sex trafficking; resource and implement the new national anti-trafficking action plan; increase funding for trafficking victim assistance, including by working with the donor community to develop long-term, sustainable funding mechanisms for trafficking victim service providers; train police, prosecutors, and judges on trafficking; in partnership with NGOs, adopt and employ formal procedures to guide officials in proactive victim identification and referral of victims to appropriate shelters and services; implement measures to address the vulnerabilities that lead to child domestic servitude, including protecting child victims of neglect, abuse, and violence; to counteract tolerance of child domestic servitude, educate the Haitian public about children’s rights to education and freedom from slavery; and draft and enact a child protection law with special protections for child trafficking victims.--snip--

INTERVIEW WITH CHARLES ORTEL—snip—Within two months of the earthquake, Clinton got the Haitian parliament to vote an emergency law that allowed him, as director of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC), to run the country for 18 months....no decision was made in Haiti without Bill Clinton’s OK.

Clinton’s HRC raised at least $9.5 billion from the international community. There were fundraisers in New York and other cities. Haitians have searched through the rubble and demanded to know where this money went, because the IHRC did not reconstruct anything. Some Haitian lawyers think that Clinton, in his role as director of the IHRC should answer to Haiti and not benefit from UN immunity.

Unless the IHRC has somehow acquired a blanket exemption from US state and federal laws — which, if true, should be memorialized somewhere — like other charities that raise money in most US states, it is required to register in advance of soliciting and to file periodic reports.

In the absence of securing federal and state tax exemptions, a US charity is precluded from suggesting to donors that they may deduct their donations on federal and on state tax returns, as laws may allow.

Moreover, to the extent foreign governments have granted money to the IHRC headed by Clinton, records must exist in the donating country that explain the process by which each donation came to occur, and that “after-action” reports may be found, issued by the more cautious donating governments that have been burned in other instances and countries.

International charities are perfect fronts for fraud. The first step is to get in front of a large incoming flow of money, ideally from millions of small donors.

The next step is to hive off as much money as the fraudsters believe they can steal, likely parking this amount in a tax haven nation where the fraudsters purchase required influence Sums declared as inflows can then be steered to connected insiders using false invoices, if records are actually used.

All this is possible when there are no competent accountants involved and when trustees are not independent, but instead, either political allies, co-conspirators, or both.

Starting with Hillary’s first campaign to represent New York in the US Senate, Clinton allies were likely solicited for multiple purposes. As the internet evolved and as speeds increase communications involving the Foundation certainly occurred.

By November 2008, when Hillary and the Obama Transition Team negotiated their Memorandum of Understanding — itself a misleading and purposefully non-binding subterfuge — email traffic certainly dealt with incoming and outgoing Foundation financial flows and with the dire financial shape of the Foundation that is so evident looking here in Annual Reports for 2007 and 2008 that are intentionally garbled on the Clinton Foundation website.

It is worth noting that major donors to Clinton Foundation entities likely have retained extensive files that the FBI and other government authorities might obtain to flesh out the known record if all missing emails have, in fact, somehow disappeared.

Haiti, the Clintons and Digicel


O'Brien chairs the Clinton Global Initiative’s 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.

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

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.

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 CLINTONS' ABILITY TO GET RICH EXPLOITING NATIONAL DISASTERS IS LEGENDARY and they do it w/ your tax dollars.

Fascinating read about the mechanics of a fraud in Liz’s post # 36.

Plus this excerpt from the piece includes the ultimate in yo face irony in the namesake of bubba’s charitable Hatian effort:

Clinton’s HRC raised at least $9.5 billion from the international community. There were fundraisers in New York and other cities. Haitians have searched through the rubble and demanded to know where this money went, because the IHRC did not reconstruct anything. Some Haitian lawyers think that Clinton, in his role as director of the IHRC should answer to Haiti and not benefit from UN immunity.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I wonder how many donor’s checks payable to “IHRC” were actually deposited to account of “HRC”????
