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[/B]" 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." The Times continues ...
"His examples include a free-trade agreement in Colombia that benefited a major foundation donor's natural resource investments in the South American nation, development projects in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake in 2010, and more than $1 million in payments to Mr. Clinton by a Canadian bank and major shareholder in the Keystone XL oil pipeline around the time the project was being debated in the State Department."
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.
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.
