The Clinton Foundation’s Dirty Donors
Photo Credit: Personal Liberty So now we know that a lot of foreign governments – many of them with very shaky records on human rights — have given a ton of money to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s foundation. Is anyone surprised? More to the point, is anyone really bothered by it?
At least one top-ranking Republican is. Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, says that “The latest revelations about the Clinton Foundation’s shady deals are disqualifying.” And by “disqualifying,” he means they should be enough to keep Hillary from getting her party’s nomination to be the next President of the United States.
Fat chance that will happen. Nevertheless, a bunch of questions are being asked about the millions of dollars that countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and U.A.E. poured into the Clinton Foundation, much of it while Hillary served as Secretary of State.
The RNC chairman declared, “No one in their right mind, Democrat or Republican, can think the foundation receiving foreign government donations while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, and in violation of its ethics agreement with the Obama Administration, is acceptable.” And he added, “This is symptomatic of the Clintons’ obsession with raising cash at all costs.”
The foundation was created in 2001 when Bill Clinton left office. Originally called the William J. Clinton Foundation, it changed its name to the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Foundation when Hillary resigned as Secretary of State. Since its formation, the foundation has raised a staggering $1.6 billion, with much of the money coming from foundations, corporations and foreign governments.
