Emails obtained recently by Judicial Watch, which had been sent and received by close Clinton associates, suggest that the State Department played an important role in keeping Clinton Foundation members and donors happy.
One incriminating email exchange features former Clinton Foundation senior administrator Doug Band requesting that Clinton confidante and State Department aide Huma Abedin “take care of” an individual whose name was redacted. She replied that “personnel has been sending him options.” Band left the State Department in 2011 to take on a role at Teneo Holdings, an international consulting firm that later hired Abedin to perform consulting work even while she still occupied a senior role at the State Department.
In another email sent by Band to Abedin and close Clinton associate and then-chief of staff to the Secretary of State Cheryl Mills, he requested that they put the wealthy and connected Lebanese-Nigerian businessman Gilbert Chagoury in touch with a State Department “substance person” in Lebanon. Abedin replied by noting that she would put Chagoury in touch with Jeff Feltman, who was America’s ambassador to Lebanon at the time. Chagoury is believed to be a prolific donator to the Clinton Foundation and may have also contributed thousands to outside organizations that financially supported Bill Clinton’s 1996 reelection campaign.
The implication in these email communications is that those with close connections to the Clinton Foundation had easy access to the Secretary of State’s office, and received quick and unusual assistance in their queries—some of which appear to be employment-related. If proven, that would be a clear violation of an ethics agreement signed by Clinton Foundation chairman (then CEO) Bruce Linsey and senior advisor to President Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, in 2009 as a precondition for Clinton’s appointment to serve as Secretary of State.
This isn’t the first indication that Hillary Clinton did not observe the kind of moiety mandated in that agreement between the family foundation’s activities and those related to American national affairs. In the spring of 2015, the New York Times revealed that Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved (as did a Cabinet-level commission) the transfer of 20 percent of America’s uranium production capacity to a Russian-based firm in 2013 despite national security concerns. But as State was reviewing this deal, the Clinton Foundation accepted a $2.35 million donation from the company purchasing U.S. uranium production, a firm that was soon to be transferred directly into the control of the Russian state.
The Clinton Foundation received donations from unsavory states with checkered human rights records like Brunei and Saudi Arabia while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State. “In one instance, foundation officials acknowledged they should have sought approval in 2010 from the State Department ethics office, as required by the agreement for new government donors, before accepting a $500,000 donation from the Algerian government,” the Washington Post reported in 2015.
“The FBI went to Justice Department earlier this year asking for it to open a case into the foundation, but the public integrity unit declined,” CNN revealed on Wednesday. “The Justice Department had looked into whether it should open a case on the foundation a year prior and found it didn’t have sufficient evidence to do so.” It’s not entirely clear what in all of this does not rise to merit the Justice Department’s attention. If there is no fire here, the smoke is practically suffocating.
The Clinton Foundation stinks. We haven’t heard the last revelations about its dubious deals or Hillary Clinton’s contemptuous conduct as Secretary of State.
