Clinton aide reportedly got top donor named to nuclear advisory board

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Fox News:

Hillary Clinton’s former chief of staff at the State Department had a Democratic donor with virtually no relevant experience appointed to a nuclear intelligence advisory board, according to a new report that also claims the aide tried to stall journalists examining his background.

 

ABC News reported that copies of internal emails obtained under the Freedom of Information Act indicate Rajiv K. Fernando had thin qualifications for a seat on the board, other than his close connection to Bill and Hillary Clinton.

 

Fernando, a Chicago securities trader, had been a fundraiser for Democratic candidates and a financial contributor to the Clinton Foundation and even traveled with Bill Clinton on a trip to Africa. The board he was appointed to – the International Security Advisory Board – included nuclear scientists, members of Congress and former cabinet secretaries.

 

The board is a governmental body, overseen by the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security, that advises the department on arms control and related issues. According to the group’s charter, members who are not full-time government employees “may receive compensation for the time served at the rate of GS-15 step 10, plus transportation and per diem for overnight travel.” That indicates the highest level of pay for typical federal government employees.

This is really bad when you look at the emails.

1) ABC News knew about this back then as their reporter uncovered it. Chose not to report on it.

2) In the days immediately after the reporter's question, the state dept staff has numerous emails about delaying response, protecting Hillary. Cheryl Mills is in the email chain asking for delay.

3) The guy resigns during the email chain, before responding to the reporter.

4) State Dept says he resigned because of lack of time to contribute and does not address how he got on.

 

ABC News now forced to cover it here: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/clinton-donor-sensitive-intelligence-board/story?id=39710624

Note this has nothing to do with Hillary's email server fiasco. These are emails obtained for another fiasco.
