Tens of millions of dollars have gone to the Clinton Foundation, and tens of millions more to the ex-president in the form of speaking fees from around the world. Both fundings have primarily come from foreign governments and businessmen, and quite often are temporally associated with deals involving U.S. actions that benefit the donors and required approvals from our government.It has long been illegal for foreigners to contribute to U.S. political campaigns. Yet, that hasn't deterred the Clintons from this parallel practice. Further, the amounts of these donations, per Schweizer, are often far larger than allowable campaign contributions. Thus, the Clintons have become quite wealthy - Bill Clinton receiving $105 million in speaking fees through 2012..(Also donations to the Clinton library, the Democratic Party, etc.) This pattern of major donations followed by major beneficial U.S. government acts (eg. dropping proposed regulations, DOJ investigations, and the Marc Rich pardon) began in 1999 while Clinton was still president.An obvious question - Why haven't these foreign donors (eg. in India) given money directly to local charities instead of to the Clinton Foundation? Another - Doesn't this make Hillary's deleting innumerable official emails while Secretary of State especially suspicious?Prior to Hillary's being approved as Secretary of State, a detailed agreement was worked out requiring public notification of gifts from foreign entities and businessmen, as well as prior approval for donations from foreign government-owned businesses. Unfortunately, this agreement was almost immediately violated.The bulk of Schweizer's excellent report consists of detailing various donations and possibly associated U.S. government actions.
No matter what I write about this book someone will take offense, dismiss and attack what I write without reading a word of it. So, when you look at the votes and read the comments, take it all with a box of Morton Salt. This is a book that was written to draw lightning. Some of the writers who defend the Clintons, such as Newsweek, review this book as a hatchet job. Others will dismiss any examination of the author’s motives as unfair and irrelevant. I say, let the facts speak and judge the author on whether he is asking serious questions, presenting honest evidence, and drawing reasonable conclusions. In my view, he is. He is not making claims beyond what the evidence supports, but he does ask why there are always a preposterous number of coincidences around Bill and Hillary and everything they do. And how something that enriches this couple so fabulously can also somehow be characterized as both public service and charity. Mind you, Hillary was the one claiming poverty when trying to get mortgages (plural) for their homes (also plural). They were part of the political wing that vilified Romney for his wealth without ever blushing at their being in the same ball park as him. Romney at least made his money in the private sector. The Clintons seem to have made theirs by trading on the political connections and power while dancing on a razor’s edge away from the legal definition of illegality. And somehow, for the Clintons and their acolytes, if they aren’t on videotape actually admitting to taking cash for delivering political favors it somehow never happened.
