Australian Government Confirms Official Role in “Spygate”…

CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 4/18/2019 | SUNDANCE

[bitt]

In response to media inquiry and FOIA demands, the government of Australia formally admitted today to the role of High Commissioner Alexander Downer and his engagements with George Papadopoulos in 2016. The timing coincides with the Mueller Report (released today), which states it was information about this engagement from Alexander Downer that opened the FBI counterintelligence investigation in July 2016.

The Australian government cited the conclusion of the Robert Mueller special counsel investigation as the background for their willingness to comply with an 15-month-old FOIA request from Buzzfeed News.

A key player in the Clinton Foundation fraud was then-NYAG Eric Schneiderman who was connected to Obama.

Jan 21, 2012---Then-US Pres Obama is greeted by NYAG Eric Schneiderman as he leaves Air Force One
at Albany Intl Airport in upstate Colonie, NY. (reported by Lori Van Buren / Albany Times Union)

No sooner had Schneiderman been named by Obama in his 2012 SOTU address to lead a mortgage abuse unit to investigate and redress the perceived wrongs committed by Wall Street in connection with the sub-prime mortgage crisis, Schneiderman fired his first shot, filing a suit alleging that several major banks and a mortgage registration service engaged in fraudulent foreclosures.

This is the infamous Obama scheme to shakedown banks. Billions in settlements recovered went not to the mtge holders......the billions were handed over by Obama to leftist groups like La Raza and Acorn for vote buying schemes.

Of course, Schneiderman can account for every penny he collected (smirk).

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

Schneiderman was a member of Clinton’s “leadership council” in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump.

BACKSTORY From 2001-2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Guess who took over this investigation in 2002? None other than Comey. Comey was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from January 2002 to December 2003. A Grand Jury had been empanelled. Governments from around the world had donated to the “Clinton Charity”. Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. nypost.com

Then-State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman gave the Clinton Foundation a pass on identifying foreign donors in its charitable filings — making it impossible to know if it got any special favors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, according to a Scripps News report.

Scripps News found that the foundation and its subsidiary, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, took in $225 million in government donations between 2010 and 2014. New York’s charity law clearly states: “Organizations that received a contribution or grant from a government agency during the reporting period shall include the name of each agency from which contributions were received and the amount of each contribution.”

But both the foundation and the CHAI failed to do that, and Schneiderman, a member of Clinton’s “leadership council” in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump, did nothing about it.

Other charities complied, including the George W. Bush foundation, which reported receiving $5 million from Saudi Arabia and $500,000 from Kuwait.

On its website, the Clinton Foundation reveals its foreign donors, but using only broad ranges, such as $5 million to $10 million, without any time frames. The IRS doesn’t require such disclosures.

Hillary and smirking suck-up, Eric Schneiderman (right). Schneiderman was recently ousted from office, outed as a full-blown pervert, office after women came forward saying he spat at, slapped, and choked women he was intimate with. The lawmen even threatened to tap a women's phone.

In the summer of 2016, right before the presidential election when Hillary was consider a shoo-in, the German gov’t gave several million to the Clinton Foundation.

UPDATE A Berlin court ordered Germany’s far-right party to retract a false accusation that the country's environment ministry gave money to Hillary Clinton during her 2016 presidential campaign.

Georg Pazderski, leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AFD) party, was ordered to scrub its website of the accusation and issue a correction stating that the German ministry "paid no money whatsoever to support the election campaign of Hillary Clinton,”Deutsche Welle news reported Monday.

Pazderski and his party claimed that millions that Germany’s Federal Environment Ministry donated to the Clinton Foundation’s climate initiatives in Africa were really funneled into Clinton’s campaign. The Clinton Foundation was funding projects in Africa as part of the International Climate Initiative, the newspaper reported.

Germany’s Federal Environment Ministry first began donating to the initiative in 2013 — years before Clinton kicked off her race for the White House. (NOTE: it is not known how may other German ministries donated to the foundation)

The court ruled that the false accusations recklessly jeopardized “public confidence" in the federal ministry by making the claim that a German agency had intervened in the U.S. election.

The populist AFD first made the accusation in a November 2016 press release that Pazderski wrote, Deutsche Well noted. The environmental ministry won a court battle against AFD weeks after the claim went up but the now the group will have to issue a retraction.

This was part of ‘the problem’ in getting this stuff out. When people understand that our ALLIES were working our political system to effect the outcome of OUR presidential election, it’s not the kind of thing people will take lightly.

We get it with Russia, we get it with China, they are countries that want to mess with us and weaken us. It starts getting a bit tougher for us to understand why Australia and Great Britain should have a major role in selecting who leads the United States.

So...the default position is to simply IGNORE all of that and act like it never happened.

Bummer though, since Barr isn’t into this go-along to get along crap.

No place on the globe is untouched by the Clintons' monstrous grered.

[Bob Ireland]

***President-elect Donald Trump ... “I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t,’’ he told The New York Times. “She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways, and I am not looking to hurt them at all***

DJT has paid dearly for that bit of misdirected compassion! I believe if God was not on his side he would either be buried or on Devil's Island with Papillon. Perhaps America can now see that we face an all-or-nothing vicious cabal who believes the end justifies the means.

REFERENCE---The Australian newspaper the "Herald Sun" ran an October 2017 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.

COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACIES GALORE Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.

But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny.

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

Some observers inside Germany believe the German government has some explaining to do for the donation that appears under the heading “Donors and Grantors”.“Why does a 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.

The ones that operate offshore (or if they have any that are actually incorporated in other countries) will be especially prone to abuse.

The most incriminating thing---so far--- is 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.

Hillary the Arms Dealer
Canada Free Press ^ | 05/27/15 | Matthew Vadum / FR Posted by Sean_Anthony

Clinton Foundation donations funded State Dept approval of arms shipments to repressive governments. During the time Hillary Clinton was America’s Secy of State, she oversaw approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations.....governments that forked over millions of dollars to the now-embattled Clinton Foundation.

According to an International Business Times report by David Sirota and Andrew Perez, “at least seven foreign governments that received State Department clearance for American arms did donate to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary.” The article identified the seven nations as Algeria, Australia, Kuwait, Norway, Oman, Qatar, and Thailand.

Mainstream media’s surprisingly probing coverage of the unfolding Clinton Foundation donations-for-favors scandal suggests that reporters have turned on the Clintons in the age of Obama.

And the fact that the IBT piece was co-authored by Marxist author and radio talk show host David Sirota adds to the growing pile of evidence that some of the more ideologically pure progressives in the Democratic Party are ganging up on Mrs. Clinton in order to help as yet undeclared presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).(Excerpt) Read more at canadafreepress.com ...

(More below--Hillary sucks up to Qatar--arms buyer, and a major Foundation donor.) //// According to the IBT report, “at least seven foreign governments received State Dept clearance for American arms AND are on-record as donors to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary was Secy of State.” Oman and Qatar were named as countries favored for arms sales by Hillary's State Dept.

CIRCA 2002--THE OMAN-QATAR-CLINTON CONNECTION---
The Clinton Foundation took $1,250,000 (that we know of)
from Mideast kingdom--Qatar---(recently exposed as embroiled in FIFA bribery).

The Clinton presidential library in Arkansas lists Brunei, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar as donors that gave between $1 million and $5 million (at the time of research).

The Clinton foundation itself confirmed the 2002 Brunei donation: "The Clinton Foundation's impact would not be possible without the generous support of our donors," the foundation's website reads. "Their contributions have made a difference in the lives of tens of millions across the world." Read more at foxnews.com ...

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

Qatar became the new home of the Gitmo Five via the infamous Bergdahl swap.

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

Hillary later told Fox's Greta Van Susteren that Qatar was "not a threat to the US." Hillary never mentioned Qatar subsidizing the Clinton Library/Foundation.

Hillary's remarks lead some to believe the donation was a payoff....Hillary bribed to defend Qatar....blatantly ignoring America's ntl security interests.

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

LAUGH BREAK The Clinton Presidential Library bills itself as "linking the significance of
a 20th century American presidency with the ongoing
and far-reaching work of The Clinton Global Foundation."

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

No mention of Clinton being impeached and disbarred for lying.

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

REALITY CHECK Despite its grandiose self-promotion, The William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park---- is just another "Clinton Cash" snake pit.....subsidized by taxpayers,....and some shady foreign characters.

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

REMEMBER THIS? As Hollywood hotshots protested the Beverly Hills Hotel over its ownership by Brunei's sultan and his embrace of Sharia law, it turns out the Brunei government has financial connections to the Clintons.

AND THIS Bill Clinton and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein flew on Epstein’s private jet in 2002 to meet with the Sultan of Brunei.....one of the richest men in the world. The National Enquirer reported flight logs reveal Epstein — before he was arrested and jailed for soliciting teenage masseuses — picked up Clinton at a Japanese naval airport. The mega-rich Sultan later donated between $1-5 million to the Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas. ///// The Clinton Foundation motto: "Do-Good but Make A Buck On It." Clinton crony Sid Blumenthal as a high-paid Clinton Foundation employee unveils the opportunistic world of Bill and Hillary — money, charity and politics are all linked in their own tightly formed bubble.

Clinton’s ‘old friend’ Sid Blumenthal; foundation employee had top secret State Dept intel
New York Post ^ | 5-29-15 | Editorial / FR Posted by afraidfortherepublic

To hear Hillary Clinton tell it, Sidney Blumenthal was no more than an old friend trying to help out by dropping her an occasional unsolicited e-mail with advice. And the only reason she listened, she said, was to keep from being “caught in the bubble” of hearing only from “a certain small group of people.”

Now we know better. Turns out Blumenthal was no casual correspondent: He was repeatedly plying her with dubious “intelligence” on Libya — much of which turned out to be false, but which she nonetheless passed on to State Department underling.

In fact, Bill Clinton in 2009 hired Blumenthal as a $10,000-a-month full-time employee of the family “charitable” foundation — even as Sid was also working with two groups pushing Hillary’s campaign. And “consulting” for a firm with business interests in Libya that would’ve required State approval. Hillary actually wanted to bring Blumenthal — once termed “the most pro-Clinton writer on the planet” — on board at State.

White House officials nixed that, still furious over Sid’s role during the 2008 campaign in spreading dirt on Obama. We have no idea what Blumenthal did to earn his foundation pay, but Hillary’s pretense that he’s ever been less than a key member of the Clinton inner circle is ludicrous. For decades, Blumenthal has fed both Clintons dirt on their foes and helped fuel their “vast right-wing conspiracy” fantasies. Despite Hillary’s disavowal, he never left the middle of that Clinton bubble.

And Clinton — followed quickly by the rest of Team Obama — sure seized on his assurance that the attack on the Benghazi consulate was a spontaneous reaction to an anti-Islam video. (And never mind all the evidence that it was a long-planned terrorist attack.) (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...

Maybe people don’t see this the way I do, but the other three “eyes” committed an act of war.

It's ironic that these intelligence-sharing arrangements, mostly serving since WWII as a means by which the English-speaking nations of the western world could guard one another against Communist infiltration and espionage, would end up being turned into a political weapon by the very global socialists that they once protected us against.

Australia wanted a REFUND when Hitlery LOST

Australia ceases multimillion-dollar donations to controversial Clinton family charities
AUSTRALIA has poured millions of your taxpayer dollars into Hillary Clinton’s scandal-plagued charity. It begs an obvious question.
https://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/australian-economy/australia-ceases-multimilliondollar-donations-to-controversial-clinton-family-charities/news-story/219577919ed8dfbd79cf808321234eba

AUSTRALIA has finally ceased pouring millions of dollars into accounts linked to Hillary Clinton’s charities.

Which might make you wonder: Why were we donating to them in the first place?

The federal government confirmed to news.com.au it has not renewed any of its partnerships with the scandal-plagued Clinton Foundation, effectively ending 10 years of taxpayer-funded contributions worth more than $88 million...

../But what does Australia gain from topping up the Clinton coffers? The Australian reported in February that Australia was “the single biggest foreign government source of funds for the Clinton Foundation” but questions remain unanswered about the agreement between the two parties...
