Liberal Donors Finally Abandon Clintons, by
Freedom News 11/28/18.
Recently released
documents show a massive plunge in liberal donations to the Clinton Foundation
fueling speculation that the non-profit is nothing more than a pay-to-play
scheme.
The Department of
Justice has been taking a long look at Bill and Hillary’s presumed
international humanitarian organization. In the run-up to the 2016 elections
when Hillary ran as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, donors poured
$62.9 million into the fund. Dogged by allegations she put national security at
risk and failed to send support during the Benghazi Attacks in which insurgents
killed Americans, Hillary was trounced by now-President Donald J. Trump in the
general election.
On the heels of the
historic loss, donations reportedly plummeted by 58 percent to only $26.5
million in 2017. Although the Clintons maintain no correlation exists between
their political power and charity, critics have drawn some convincing parallels.
In 2015, the Clinton
Foundation suffered a 37-percent drop when allegations surfaced that the
political power couple had used their positions to solicit millions from
foreign entities. Although the left-leaning media largely avoided reporting on
Hillary’s pay-to-play mentality as Secretary of State within the Obama
Administration, facts came to light that she approved the sale of 20 percent of
American uranium to Russia.
Disgraced Pres. Bill
Clinton received hefty speaking fees somewhat connected to the Russia sale and
the family foundation reportedly received upwards of $145 million in donations
from parties connected to the deal. When allegations of corruption broke, many
liberal donors pulled out only to resurface as she made a presidential run.
While everyday Americans
were primarily kept in the dark by biased media outlets, several watchdog
resources covered what many consider a multi-million dollar scam. The following
analysis was reported by the International Business Times.
·
“Under Clinton’s leadership,
the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20
nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation.”
·
“The Clinton-led State
Department also authorized $151 billion of separate Pentagon-brokered deals for
16 of the countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation, resulting in a 143
percent increase in completed sales to those nations over the same time frame
during the Bush administration. These extra sales were part of a broad increase
in American military exports that accompanied Obama’s arrival in the White
House. The 143 percent increase in U.S. arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors
compares to an 80 percent increase in such sales to all countries over the same
time period.”
·
“American defense contractors
also donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of
state and in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton for speaking
engagements.”
“The word was out to
these groups that one of the best ways to gain access and influence with the
Clintons was to give to this foundation,” Campaign Legal Center policy director
Meredith McGehee reportedly said. “This shows why having public officials, or
even spouses of public officials, connected with these nonprofits is problematic.”
Although the Clintons
continue to deny claims that they ran a multi-million dollar corruption scheme
with the same level of conviction as Bill denied having sexual relations with
Monica Lewinsky, it’s implausible to deny a massive revenue decline. Each dip
follows a political power problem for the Clintons, and each rise seems to be
on par with political gains. It was not until after Hillary took the
presidential loss that the family fund dropped even close to below $100 million
annually.
But what many Americans
may not be aware of is that the most recent decline is also coupled with an
independent investigation of the Clinton Foundation. Before his forced
resignation, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions tasked U.S. Attorney John
Huber to undergo a complete review of the foundation from outside the
Washington, D.C. swamp.
“Mr. Huber with the
Department of Justice and the FBI has been having an investigation—at least
part of his task was to look at the Clinton Foundation and what may or may not
have happened as it relates to improper activity with that charitable
foundation, so we’ve set a hearing date for December 5,” House Freedom Caucus
Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows reportedly said.
Although Democrats are
expected to attack Huber’s credibility should he unearth even the appearance of
impropriety, he has been confirmed by the Senate twice.
Pres. Trump has been
vocal about the Clinton schemes since the 2016 campaign and has rallied
supporters with the famous chant “lock her up.”
Citing the initial findings
of the Clinton Foundation, he tweeted that it “shows that they illegally played
the power game” and “monetized their political influence through the
Foundation.”
The former liberals who
counted themselves as Clinton allies are staying mum and stopped participating
in the pay-to-play scheme.
