Hillary's Foreign Cash
Not only did Hillary have a disastrous rollout week, but the Clinton
Foundation's acceptance of foreign cash is becoming quite the point of
concern.
There's a new book called “Clinton Cash” by Peter Schweizer, which
investigates foreign donations made to the Clinton Foundation. More
specifically, it is said to highlight the favors received by foreign
countries while Hillary was Secretary of State after making donations to
the Clinton Foundation.
The New York Times previewed
Schweizer's book where he writes, “We will see a pattern of financial
transactions involving the Clintons that occurred contemporaneous with
favorable U.S. policy decisions benefiting those providing the funds.”
Those are just some of the examples of how Hillary Clinton – via the
Clinton Foundation – took money from foreign countries and that
ultimately resulted in favorable policy changes within the United States
government.
Today we've learned more about these donors to the Clinton Foundation, and the latest revelation is a doozy.
The largest individual contributor to the Clinton Foundation is a man by
the name of Victor Pinchuk. He is a Ukrainian oligarch and owns a
manufacturing company which makes pipes used in the oil and gas sectors.
It turns out that Pinchuk's company was delivering parts to none other
than Iran in 2011 and 2012, which is sanctioned by the United States.
In other words, Hillary and Bill have been accepting money from a man
who has been trading with Iran at a time when the United States and the
world has put sanctions on Iran. This apparently didn't matter much
when the checks came rolling in.

The Media Is Quick To Defend
By the way, the piece revealing this information appeared in Newsweek, which felt the need to focus on Hillary's enemies in its opening line:
"Enemies of Hillary Clinton waiting to discredit her bid for the White
House are likely to seize on news that one of the biggest benefactors to
the Clinton Foundation has been trading with Iran and may be in breach
of US sanctions imposed on the country." Very telling. The media will
do anything it can to circle the wagons, making Clinton her seem like a
victim.
And this latest news of the Clinton Foundation's foreign donors only
adds to what we already know about the Clinton Foundation taking money
from foreign countries with questionable human rights records and
deplorable records on women's rights.
Last week the Clintons revealed that they would continue to accept donations, despite Hillary's bid for the presidency.
If a Republican were to be involved in such a foundation, accepting cash
from questionable foreign countries and foreign oligarchs, the coverage
would be all-consuming. It'd be difficult to survive such scrutiny.
While the issue is certainly prominent, it has yet to really impact
Hillary's campaign. |
