Clinton Foundation took at least $1,250,000 from Qatar and World Cup committee embroiled in soccer bribery scandal - and up to $100,000 from FIFA itself
The Clinton Foundation's website discloses donations from the
'Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee' of $250,001-$500,000, including a
donation in 2014. Qatar's government added $1-$5 million . . . . . . . "donations" paid while Hillary was acting as Secretary of State.
Part of the Bush culture of corruption legacy...
ReplyDeleteJ. Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican speaker in the history of the U.S. House, was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on charges that he violated banking laws in a bid to pay $3.5 million to an unnamed person to cover up “past misconduct.”
Hastert, who has been a high-paid lobbyist in Washington since his 2007 retirement from Congress, schemed to mask more than $950,000 in withdrawals from various accounts in violation of federal banking laws that require the disclosure of large cash transactions, according to a seven-page indictment delivered by a grand jury in Chicago.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Bush or Hastert acting as the Speaker or lobbyist. It appears to be something sordid (?) dating back to his teaching/coaching days. And nothing in this story has anything to do with the biggest scam, pulled by a Secretary of State, in our nation's history.
DeleteWant to debate that statement? Fine. But this will be the last posting regarding Hastert. This is a non-news item that has nothing to do with present-day politics.
Anonymous posted a poll showing public opinion about Bush's Iraqi war. I no longer allow such posts. It is very old news, but, beyond its lack of value, the polling opinions from the Left are trumped by Biden's declaring that the US won that war, calling it the greatest accomplishment of his administration (Feb 2010), and Obama declared, as he cut and ran from that country, that he was leaving behind, a strong, stable and sovereign Iraq.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when this Administration sticks their collective foot in their mouth? I mean, we were all going to celebrate Bergdalh's "rescue," Somalia and Yemen were testaments to his success in the Middle East, he continues to pretend his is the strongest recovery in American history, he continues to insist on his policy of transparency, he continues to pretend that he is the most non-partisan president "in history" (his words).
Clearly, this Administration wears a size 10.5 D shoe.
