Many more details at link. She is indeed corrupt and the full truth is slowly coming to light. It took the AP reporters 3 years to get her State Dept. Calendar through the FOIA.

Many donors to Clinton Foundation met with her at State


August 23, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) — More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money — either personally or through companies or groups — to the Clinton Foundation. It's an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.

At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.


Many more details at link. She is indeed corrupt and the truth is finally seeping out.

"Well, because they took a small sliver of her tenure as secretary of state, less than half the time, less than a fraction of the meetings, fewer than I think 3 percent, the number they've looked at of all the meetings," chief strategist Joel Benenson told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day." "This is a woman who met with over 17,000 world leaders, countless other government officials, public officials in the United States. And they've looked at 185 meetings and tried to draw a conclusion from that.".....
"People give donations to this foundation because they believe in the work of this foundation," Benenson said. "And to say that meeting with 84 [sic] people out of 3,000 people over the span of your tenure says something you know, even inappropriate is going on I think is a completely flawed premise. And that's the problem with the AP report looking at this data, lumping together 85 people out of 3,000 that she met with, including people like a Nobel Prize winner who's been awarded by the president and Congress for his work in the developing world, helping entrepreneurs start businesses and improve their lives. If that's wrong, then Donald Trump's living on another planet, which he may be anyway."

If the money all went to charity, I don't see any problem. Is this against any laws, guidelines, or such? Or is it much ado about nothing?

Even if this is evidence of corruption, it is still a long way from the bad business practices of Trump. I am talking about not paying contractors, causing any small construction business to be hurt or go under.

Trump is only for Trump. This is payments to a charity that goes to programs that help people. Until you can show Clinton is taking money from the foundation for person use, you don't have something comparable to Trump's bad actions.

Over $150 million dollars from those 84 people. Why did they give that money?

Trump earned his money.


The Clinton's said they were broke when Bill left office due to his legal bills. They are now worth about $300 million dollars.
Where did that money come from?

Trump earned his money.

Trump earned his money by not paying agreed upon price for work, and suing contractors that tried to collect.

As the son of a tradesman, that is bad business practice. Bad enough that Trump would have to do something extraordinary for me to forgive that.

Baseless slander from the left.

You can't keep people from examining Hillary's corruption by making up stories about Trump.

Why do people give to charity?
Why do people give to the Donald J. Trump Foundation? Which is controlled by Trump, his chief financial exec., and his children?
This seems like an odd question to me, unless you have never given to charity, then I can see why you might be asking.

Perhaps because it goes to charity and it is a write off to their own taxes.

It doesn't go into her personal account.

This revelation of Clinton's selling access and favors from the US Government to foreign interests is not what I'd call a "bombshell" because it's been well-known for some time now. The question is only whether the media will continue to alibi for such corruption.

No it isn't baseless slander. It is documented all over the place in lawsuits!

I'm amazed that anyone here would even think of trying that excuse. His business practices are in the private field. Hers --giving away state secrets, soliciting bribes, selling access to foreigners, transferring nuclear bomb-making material to the Russians, etc.--are public matters and national security concerns! Even so, what you are trying to make into a big deal on Trump's part pales in comparison to the Clinton Foundation pretending to be a charity while operating simply to fill the pockets of the Clinton family members.

Why would a Frank Giustra, a uranium trader, give the Clinton's $31 million?



Within days of the visit, Mr. Giustra’s fledgling company, UrAsia Energy Ltd., signed a preliminary deal giving it stakes in three uranium mines controlled by the state-run uranium agency Kazatomprom.

If the Kazakh deal was a major victory, UrAsia did not wait long before resuming the hunt. In 2007, it merged with Uranium One, a South African company with assets in Africa and Australia, in what was described as a $3.5 billion transaction. The new company, which kept the Uranium One name, was controlled by UrAsia investors including Ian Telfer, a Canadian who became chairman. Through a spokeswoman, Mr. Giustra, whose personal stake in the deal was estimated at about $45 million, said he sold his stake in 2007.

Soon, Uranium One began to snap up companies with assets in the United States. In April 2007, it announced the purchase of a uranium mill in Utah and more than 38,000 acres of uranium exploration properties in four Western states, followed quickly by the acquisition of the Energy Metals Corporation and its uranium holdings in Wyoming, Texas and Utah. That deal made clear that Uranium One was intent on becoming “a powerhouse in the United States uranium sector with the potential to become the domestic supplier of choice for U.S. utilities,” the company declared.

Still, the company’s story was hardly front-page news in the United States — until early 2008, in the midst of Mrs. Clinton’s failed presidential campaign, when The Times published an article revealing the 2005 trip’s link to Mr. Giustra’s Kazakhstan mining deal. It also reported that several months later, Mr. Giustra had donated $31.3 million to Mr. Clinton’s foundation.

LOL, yeah. By conning people out of their life savings with Trump University. By hiring small businesses, and then refusing to pay them. By taking all the money out of an enterprise, then declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying all the small businesses and employees he hired.

What wonderful double talk! :doh: Hillary and Bill run an alleged charity for the tax benefits but it gives almost all its income to the administrators, Hillary and Bill.

I'm still trying to find out what 'favors' these donors received. Can you tell me where I can find the 'favors' that were done.
I wonder if Ben Carson ever gave a donation to anything the Bushes are connected to? After all he spent 'many enjoyable days' at the WH with G.W. Bush.

I know they get huge speaking fees. He's written books. Good investments.

We know how Trump made his money, by conning people with Trump University, by declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying small businesses and employees, by refusing to pay small businesses who do work for him.

You have no evidence regarding the Clintons, yet there is a myriad of evidence regarding Conman Don. Why do you choose to ignore the evidence, yet believe the conspiracy theory?
