Clinton Foundation Failed to Disclose 1,100 Foreign Donations

Apr 29, 2015 5:21 AM EDT

Hillary Clinton’s presidential run is prompting new scrutiny of the Clintons’ financial and charitable affairs—something that’s already proved problematic for the Democratic frontrunner, given how closely these two worlds overlap. Last week, the New York Times examined Bill Clinton’s relationship with a Canadian mining financier, Frank Giustra, who has donated millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation and sits on its board. Clinton, the story suggests, helped Giustra’s company secure a lucrative uranium-mining deal in Kazakhstan and in return received “a flow of cash” to the Clinton Foundation, including previously undisclosed donations from the company’s chairman totaling $2.35 million.

With millions of dollars and 1,100 donors shrouded in mystery, CGEP has caught the attention of journalist and authors, including Peter Schweizer, whose forthcoming book, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.

We can only wonder WHO is on that donor's list. Were there any "Deals" facilitated by the State Dept like the lucrative uranium-mining deal that netted the Clinton Foundation a cool $2.35 million?

I saw another thread rapping Scott Walker for having some credit card debt. He's been in Office as Governor of Wisconsin since Jan 2011, one would think if he wasn't an honest politician he would have $0 credit card debt by now. Now compare that to the shady crapola the Clinton's have been doing, then ask yourself who would you really rather have in the White House come Jan 2017?

Those donations are being funneled through a Canadian company- under Canadian law, I believe, not even the Clinton foundation is suppose to get the names of those donors.

Most non-profits are not subject to the PIPEDA because fundraising is not a commercial activity. But charities are not automatically exempt. The law does not prohibit charities from releasing information for non-commercial purposes.
According to Valerie Lawton, spokeswoman for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (the agency that oversees compliance with this law): “If a charity is not engaged in a commercial activity such as selling, bartering or leasing a donor list, then PIPEDA would not apply to the charity’s activities – including whether it makes public a donor list. That being said, there may be other Canadian laws which don’t fall under our jurisdiction that could apply to the publishing of donor lists.”

All of Billary's emails exist somewhere in the archives of homeland security.
