Clinton Cash Worse Than You Thought - Bruce Bialosky


Posted: Oct 16, 2016 12:01 AM


For someone who has held the Clintons in disdain for 25 years, I did not
believe I could be stunned by any activity in which they participated. Still,
you read Clinton Cash by Peter Schweizer and you sit there slack-jawed. Is
there nothing these people will not stoop to?


The introduction defines Schweizer and the creditability of the book. His two
most recent books before this were Throw Them All Out: How Politicians and
Their Friends Get Rich off Insider Stock Tips, Land Deals, and Cronyism That
Would Send the Rest of Us to Prison and Extortion: How Politicians Extract
Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets. Two clear attacks on the
bipartisan graft and crony capitalism being done at the highest levels of our
federal government.


His manuscript for Clinton Cash was provided to investigative reporters at The
New York Times, Washington Post, ABC News and FOX News. This was an obvious
effort to diffuse the anticipated onslaught from the Clintons and their
cronies and to a great extent establish the integrity of his findings. Clearly
he was not some anti-Clinton wacko as he would soon be branded by the Clinton
flock.


The NYT and WP took parts of the book and exploded them into bigger stories of
Clinton corruption.


Everyone will have their favorite story of the Clintons skirting rules to
enrich themselves, but mine comes in the second chapter where President Bill
hooks up with President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan. Calling him
"president"� is a loose use of the word as he has really been dictator of the
country since 1990.

Any elections are just charades. This guy is so despicable the sleaze oozes
from the pages of the book. Why Clinton would want to associate with a guy
like this and grace him with the credibility of our country defines the
corruption of the Clintons and their endless money chasing as Bill says "I
have to pay the bills."


The book is so rich with material of questionable or illegal activity that
even Schweizer blew right by something that was blatantly illegal. He was
reviewing the relationship between Bill Clinton and the most notorious person
from the book, Frank Guistra, a Canadian businessman. Clinton often flew on
Giustra's private plane. Schweizer mentions in passing that Clinton used the
plane to attend campaign events for Ms. Clinton in 2008. Well, that is an in-
kind contribution to a political campaign -- and from a foreigner. That is
blatantly illegal, if Schweizer is correct. He was so overwhelmed with the
Clintons' activities Schweizer never even cited the illegality.


The book did disclose that Clinton accomplished something as secretary of
state, which was a revelation. She decided to take over the secretary of
commerce's job helping American companies do business in foreign countries.

This proved the Commerce Dept. does not need to exist, but that wasn't the
purpose of her work.


As always with the Clintons, there were strings attached for their help.

Boeing cut a $3.7 billion deal with Russia with Ms. Clinton's help and
magically a $900,000 donation showed up at the Clinton Foundation.


Then there is the fact that Clinton used the Foundation and State Department
as an employment center for their minions. But Hillary could not live with
that because her people could not make enough money as federal employees so
she allowed them to do outside work (when did these people sleep?). If you are
granted Special Government Employee (SGE) status, you can work outside the
government for a period of 130 days. That was abused by Clinton and her
favored aides such as Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills. Their attempt to hide this
was so disconcerting that even the left-wing ProPublica had to file a Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA) request and the State Department came back and
complained about having to do too much work to collect the info.


The Clinton Foundation has been rated to varying degrees by independent
organizations. Part of the problem is its unusual model. Charity Navigator
could not even rate the Clinton Foundation, citing its structure. With the
thousands of charities that exist, one can easily question why this entity
which should be pristine is so peculiar that it does not meet normal models of
American charities.


The Clintons have said that if Ms. Clinton wins, and only if she wins, they
will stop taking foreign and corporate contributions. That leaves many
problems, of which I would like to describe three. 1) This policy opens up the
foundation to a rush of questionable contributions from the time of the
announcement until they make the change. 2) Wealthy individuals still have the
ability to buy influence from the Clintons from their own bank accounts. 3)
Foreigners can shuttle cash to American citizens and disguise things that way.

Related entities to the Clinton Foundation will not be restricted from taking
monies from corporations or foreigners. Whoever knows with the Clintons when
they say "stop taking certain donations"� really means to stop.


The only acceptable thing is to shut down this operation which is only a shill
for the Clintons and all their cronies. If they want do charity work, they can
become the face of fundraising for the Salvation Army.


You already know this, but the Clintons do everything for themselves and their
team. Hillary is crisscrossing the country flailing at an attempt to tell
people how she is the real candidate who cares about their wants, needs and
desires.


Make no mistake, there were payments directly to Bill and Hillary Clinton for
deals they engineered on others' behalf. That is called pay for play and
blatantly illegal.


My question, which I have had for ages, is: Why would you vote for this
circus?
