And then there's this . . .

Yesterday, we looked at Lebanese - Nigerian businessman Gilbert Chagoury and his donations to the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative and Hillioniare's communications to Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin telling them to put him in touch with the State Department's Lebanon point person.

It seems there's a pattern of this kind of thing. Now we learn about Pakistan and one Muhammed Yunus:

In today’s installment we learn that (1) Hillary Clinton, during an official visit to Bangladesh as Secretary of State, publicly defended the bank of a crooked long-time friend of her husband and major Clinton Foundation donor, (2) in response, the Clinton Foundation emailed top Hillary aide Cheryl Mills about accepting a donation from the bank and a giant Abu Dhabi oil company, (3) the Clinton Foundation accepted the donation, and (4) Bill Clinton ended up with a big speaking fee.
This information comes from a May 7, 2012, email chain between Mills and the Clinton Foundation’s foreign policy director, obtained through the legal efforts of Citizens United, and from the reporting of Richard Pollock of the Daily Caller.
As always with Clinton cash corruption, you can’t tell the players without a scorecard. The players here, in addition to the Clintons and Cheryl Mills, are:
Muhammad Yunnus — a longtime friend of Bill Clinton. He has often been a featured speaker at the annual Clinton Global Initiative celebrity galas in New York. His Grameen America foundation donated between $100,000 to $250,000, according to the Clinton Foundation website. During Hillary’s tenure at State, the U.S. Agency for International Development, a State Department division, awarded millions of grant dollars to Yunus and to his allies
The Grameen Bank — a Bangladesh bank run by Yunnus that was supposed to give out “micro-loans” to poor women in the country.
TAQA — a giant oil and gas company in Abu Dhabi, formally known as the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company. Owned mostly by the Abu Dhabi government, it operates in 11 countries, including Canada and the United States. In 2010, it won the first of three “blanket agreements” with the Obama administration to import billions of cubic feet of natural gas from Canada into the United States. 
Linda Andich — the Clinton Foundation’s development director.
Amitabh Desai — the Clinton Foundation’s foreign policy director.
The story begins when Yunus was charged by an official Bangladeshi commission with financial mismanagement of Grameen Bank. Eventually, he was forced to leave the bank. Hillary responded to the charges against Yunus by publicly urging the government of Bangladesh not to do anything to undermine his bank. She said this during an official visit to Bangladesh.
Then came the May 7, 2012 email chain that Citizens United recently pried loose. The chain kicks off when Linda Andich of the Clinton Foundation saw an Associated Press article about Clinton’s intervention on behalf of Yunus. Aldridge attached the AP article to an email to Desai (the Clinton Foundation’s foreign policy director) and wrote: 
Just reading about HRC’s support of the Grameen Bank, which prompted me to check in for any updates for the State Department, re: the Donation from TAQA.
She added: 
To refresh, they bought the ‘spend a day with President Clinton’ auction experience — donation to be split 50/50 with Grameen. The winners are top execs from their Scottish office, not Abu Dhabi.
Three hours later, Desai forwarded Andich’s email to Mills and wrote, “we’d welcome your guidance on accepting funds from TAQA.” Mills replied, “Will call to discuss.”
The donation of TAQA funds was being offered by TAQA’s managing director in Scotland. He had agreed to give $60,000 to the Foundation for Bill to speak at a Scotland charity and auction. 
Ultimately, the Foundation accepted the donation of $60,000. Bill went to Scotland where, in addition to collecting the donation to his Foundation, he received at least $250,000 for a speech before a group called “Business For Change,” according to the Foundation’s website. The black tie dinner raised funds for Yunus and his bank. 
And a good time was had by all.

This, folks, is the track record of the Freedom-Haters' candidate for dictator of post-America  president of the United States.

  1. I just let go and let the prosecutors and lawyers do what they get paid to do. Following all this crap day to day is excruciatingly boring if you ask me, which of course you didn't.

  2. Boring, huh? Just wow. You sure you just don't want to squarely face how egregiously the Clintons have compromised our nation's foreign policy? How vulnerable to blackmail they are?

  3. Like I say, I'll let you prosecutorial types execute the investigation, trial and judgement. A lot of you will apparently do it for free. As for the election, who else you gonna elect?

  5. Wherever you find oodles of coinage you find patronage, cronyism, favoritism, outright suckilingus and certainly it takes no genius to follow the money to shenanigans and worse. For instance, I pass by this 8 story building each day with a big sign on the side reading "WOUNDED WARRIORS." Noble cause, giant sucking sounds as the greed buckets fill with the coinage. It's under criticism and investigation. The former "CEO" made 350K. They had employee junkets to exotic places. Over a dozen employees make 150K plus. I observed long ago how the spouses of cats high up in the United Way and other charities drove Mercedes. Anecdotal, sure. But what isn't when observed by a mere individual. Big money, big phony and worse. Yawn. What else is new. Attempt to prosecute if you will. Have fun!

  7. Locate 27 search results for Clinton Foundation at Politifact, winner of a Pulitzer prize, all 3 of which of course you damn as dog vomit http://www.politifact.com/search/statements/?q=%22clinton%20foundation%22

    Point is, there is certainly more than a smidgen of reasonable doubt about criminal activity sufficient for an investigation but of course that never stops their enemies hell-bent on destroying them.

  10. And Politifact has a left-wing axe to grind: http://www.politifactbias.com

  11. Bury the hatchet. And the axes. Grinding, grating and unproductive on all sides. But, hey, it fits right in with your realistic commonsensical views of human nature. The only way to determine who's right is to fight. Then history is a tale told by the victors, right? Oh, I know, that's stinking dog vomit moral relativism.
