We asked Clinton donors why they gave. Here's what they said

[Geee]

Washington Examiner:

Foreign donors are refusing to say why they sent millions of dollars in 2014 to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

 

Of 38 donors listed on the foundation's website who were contacted by the Washington Examiner,18 declined to answer at all, and the other 18 either responded suspiciously or stuck to generalities and refused to address follow-up questions.

 

The importance of who gave to the foundation and why was highlighted this week when CBS News revealed that one donor in 2013 was Rilin Enterprises. Rilin is headed by Wang Wienlang, a Chinese businessman who was invited to join the National Peoples' Congress as a delegate in the same year as he made the donation.

 

Rilin is close to China's national security and intelligence agencies. Besides the $2 million given to the Clintons' foundation, Rilin also spent at least another $1.4 million in 2012 lobbying Congress and the U.S. State Department, of which Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.

 

 

Wang has spent many millions cultivating influence in the U.S., according to Epoch Times, a news outlet founded in 2003 by Chinese dissidents.

"He has funded or helped establish numerous organizations in the United States — from think tanks to scholarly institutes — designed to influence U.S.-China relations, U.S. foreign policy and U.S. security policy," Epoch Times reported Wednesday.

The Clinton Turnstile is back. You put money in, and it lets you through. Duh.

 

On the plus side, people are already getting "Clinton Fatigue." We have so little to thank Valerie Jarrett for, but this is one thing.

The Clinton Foreign Policy Is and Always Has Been for Sale

 

How bad are things getting for the Clintons? Even Reuters is compelled to note that there are huge, yawning gaps in the disclosures provided by Hillary to the Obama administration. And as this particular scandal blows up the Obama administration has to wonder how long it can forestall throwing Hillary under the bus for failing to live up to her promises to prevent them from being blindsided by this exact scenario:

 

(Reuters) – In 2008, Hillary Clinton promised Barack Obama, the president-elect, there would be no mystery about who was giving money to her family’s globe-circling charities. She made a pledge to publish all the donors on an annual basis to ease concerns that as secretary of state she could be vulnerable to accusations of foreign influence.

 

At the outset, the Clinton Foundation did indeed publish what they said was a complete list of the names of more than 200,000 donors and has continued to update it. But in a breach of the pledge, the charity’s flagship health program, which spends more than all of the other foundation initiatives put together, stopped making the annual disclosure in 2010, Reuters has found.
