Hillary’s Trapped by Bill’s Big Web of Donors

Hillary’s Trapped by Bill’s Big Web of Donors: Bloomberg 16 Jan 09 Margaret Carlson – “……………….Clinton will do as well as recent secretaries, maybe better,……………………It’s her husband who’s the problem. Has there ever been a bigger spousal conflict of interest than former President Bill Clinton collecting large sums from donors foreign and domestic, many of whom have a stake in cozying up to a global duopoly?………………….. he still can accept money from foreign business executives as long as he names them annually……………………………what about the Indian politician Amar Singh, who gave money and then lobbied Mrs. Clinton on behalf of a nuclear- cooperation agreement, according to the Times. She told him she didn’t object, the Times said. ……………………….

Or Frank Giustra, the Canadian businessman who donated millions to Clinton’s foundation and lends the former president his plane.

Giustra delivered Clinton to a midnight banquet for Kazakhstan’s authoritarian President Nursultan Nazarbayev along with Clinton’s support for Nazarbayev to head an election- monitoring organization. Soon after, Giustra was awarded rights to three state-controlled uranium mines, turning him into one of the world’s largest producers. Clinton’s foundation has a right to half of any of Giustra’s future minerals earnings.

It doesn’t take a cynic to wonder if Secretary Clinton is in an impossible situation.
