Favors To Clinton Foundation Donors Stretch Back To Hillary Clinton’s Senate Days

By Kelly Riddell, June 10, 2015, The Washington Times

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s efforts to provide favors to major donors to her husband’s global charity or her own political career stretch back far earlier than her tenure as America’s top diplomat, dating to the time she served as a U.S. senator and had the power to earmark federal funds and influence legislation, records show.

For instance, Mrs. Clinton introduced a bill when she was New York’s junior senator that allowed a donor to the Clinton Foundation to use tax-exempt bonds to build a shopping center in Syracuse, New York, public records show.

She also went to bat for Freddie Mac, working to defeat legislation that would have subjected the mortgage giant to tougher regulations before the housing bubble burst and led to a major recession. That same year, Freddie Mac donated $50,000 to $100,000 to her husband’s charity, originally called the William J. Clinton Foundation records show.

The Clinton ‘Charity’ Begins At Home 

By Kimberly Strassel, Jun. 4, 2015, Wall Street Journal

The scandal of the century at the IRS was that agency’s secret targeting of conservative nonprofits. Perhaps a close second is the scandal of what the IRS hasn’t been investigating: the Clinton Foundation.

The media’s focus is on Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state, and whether she took official actions to benefit her family’s global charity. But the mistake is starting from the premise that the Clinton Foundation is a “charity.” What’s clear by now is that this family enterprise was set up as a global shakedown operation, designed to finance and nurture the Clintons’ continued political ambitions. It’s a Hillary super PAC that throws in the occasional good deed.

That much is made obvious by looking at the foundation’s employment rolls. Most charities are staffed by folks who have spent a lifetime in nonprofits, writing grants or doing overseas field work. The Clinton Foundation is staffed by political operatives. It has been basically a parking lot for Clinton campaign workers—a comfy place to draw a big check as they geared up for Hillary’s presidential run.

Clinton Charity Took Millions From African Church Which Calls Gays Devils

By Daniel Bates, Jun. 4, 2015, Daily Mail

Hillary Clinton's charity accepted a substantial donation from an anti-gay African church which has likened homosexuals to the Devil, Daily Mail Online can reveal.

The 2016 Presidential candidate took money for her sprawling health nonprofit from the Cameroon Baptist Convention whose official policy is that being gay 'contradicts God's purpose for human sexuality'.

The devout Christian organization has in the past compared being gay to committing incest and human trafficking. Its leaders have also railed against US attempts to promote gay rights in Cameroon.

Despite this, the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Board gave between $1million and $10million between 2010 and this year, according to the latest list of donors from the Clinton Health Access Initiative.

Bill And Hillary Clinton Slapped With Racketeering Lawsuit 

By Lawrence Lease, May 27, 2015, Examiner.com

Freedom Watch’s Larry Klayman filed a Racketeering lawsuit against Bill and Hillary Clinton and theClinton Foundation on Wednesday. The lawsuit was filed in Florida, which includes a request to have the Florida judge seize the personal server on which former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her staff hosted their emails while she served in the State Department. Klayman has been known for filing lawsuits against the Clintons and other established politicians. The Clinton Foundation faces a RICO case. The case alleges the former first family and their foundation traded favors from international leaders for large donations or generous speaking fees. The suit was filed before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Civil Action No. 9:15-cv-80388.

Klayman claims that the Clintons, through both mail and wire fraud, misappropriated documents which he was entitled to under the Freedom of Information Act regarding Hillary Clinton’s involvement in leaking Irsaeli cyber-warfare plans and practices. Hillary Clinton orchestrated this release to harm and thwart Israeli plans to preemptively attack Iranian nuclear sites to stop the Islamic nation's march to producing atomic weapons. Klayman issued another FOIA request calling for the release of Hillary Clinton and other State Department’s records which relate to the granting of waivers for persons, companies, countries, and other interests to do business with Iran, in an attempt to undermine the economic sanctions.

Repressive Regimes Donated to Clinton Foundation, Got Federal Approval for Arms Deals 

Reuters
By Ben Mathis Lilley, May 26, 2015, Slate.com

Repressive regimes in Algeria, Kuwait, and Qatar donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and also "gained State Department clearance to buy caches of American-made weapons" during that time, anInternational Business Times investigation reports.

The IBT piece reviews all known donations to the Clinton Foundation by countries and defense contractors involved in arms deals that were approved by the State Department during Hillary Clinton's tenure. During a broader increase in military exports under the Obama administration, more than $300 billion worth of weapons shipments were approved to 20 countries that were or have since become Clinton Foundation donors. Some of these recipients were longtime United States allies, such as Australia and Germany, with relatively upstanding recent records on human rights. Others weren't:

The State Department formally approved ... arms sales even as many of the deals enhanced the military power of countries ruled by authoritarian regimes whose human rights abuses had been criticized by the department.
