The Clintons' War on Women (43 page)

While a student at the George Washington University, Huma maintained her contacts with Hillary. She also began to advocate for her Islamic religion. She also served as editor of the
Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs
. As Andy McCarthy explains in a 2012 interview, this journal is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot al-Qaeda:

Abedin’s ties
to the Muslim Brotherhood are incontrovertible. Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, at the age of two, her parents moved to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she was raised until the age of eighteen. Abedin’s mother has remained in Saudi Arabia. This begs the question: how did Huma get security clearance to be Hillary’s intern when her parents had strong ties to an al-Qaeda financier?

Abedin later worked for Hillary during Hillary’s Senate term. She was Hillary’s travelling chief of staff and “body woman” during the failed 2008 presidential bid. Abedin went on to serve as Hillary’s deputy chief of staff at the corrupt Clinton Foundation. And of course Hillary brought Huma to State during Hillary’s disastrous tenure. And as this book is being written, Huma is Hillary’s sole traveling companion across Iowa and New Hampshire during her 2016 bid.

The Muslim Brotherhood rose in regional influence and orchestrated a coup in Egypt against longtime American ally Hosni Mubarak while Huma was a consultant for private clients at Teneo Holdings and an aide to the Clinton Foundation. The Muslim Brotherhood were of special interest to Hillary, who views them as moderates. During Obama’s Cairo Speech, in which he proclaimed it was his duty as President of the United States to protect the defamation of Islam worldwide, representatives from the Brotherhood were seated as special guests in front rows of Cairo University’s auditorium, including Huma’s mother, who travelled from Jeddah to witness the speech.

The Brotherhood visited the Obama White House and State Department while Clinton was secretary of state. And Clinton negotiated a failed Israeli-Hamas ceasefire with Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, which Clinton celebrates in her failed book
Hard Choices
.

In 2012, five U.S. Congressmen sent a letter to the State Department’s deputy secretary general alerting him that Huma’s mother, brother, and deceased father were members of the Muslim Brotherhood
and that Huma “too may be working on the Muslim Brotherhood’s behalf.” This letter was quickly attacked by the Washington elite and press core. Some Republicans even came to her defense, including Ed Rollins, who incidentally is also an employee of Teneo Holdings, the same firm Huma worked for while working for State.

Huma’s other jobs came under scrutiny by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley. Senator Grassley raised concerns that Huma was holding three jobs while working for Hillary in State. The State Department responded that Huma was given a special exception and did not disclose any sensitive information to her private clients. Senator Grassley found the letter “unresponsive.”

Huma’s employment by the Clinton Foundation at this time raises legitimate questions of financial impropriety. As we know from Peter Schwiezer’s
Clinton Cash
, Bill Clinton received exorbitant speaking and consulting fees from countries and clients who either received preferential treatment at the same time from the State Department.

Perhaps the most notorious is Bill Clinton receiving the $500,000 speaking fee in 2010, a year after Hillary’s “reset” with Putin, by a Russian bank with ties to the Russian government. As we know, in that time period the Russian atomic energy agency was approved by the State Department to control over 20 percent of American uranium mines. At the same time, a number of Uranium One investors gave donations to the Clinton Foundation. And Huma was working at the Clinton Foundation and State Department during this very period, a clear conflict.

Further, Huma is intimately connected to Hillary’s email scandal. Against government policy, Hillary held two private email accounts during her State Department tenure with all emails stored on a private server located in Bill and Hillary’s Chappaqua manor. The server was destroyed immediately after Hillary’s tenure. It is well known in the reporting and political world that Huma often wrote emails on behalf of Hillary from her own account. All of Huma’s correspondences
during this time have also been destroyed on the same server. We will never know if and when Huma was communicating with the Muslim Brotherhood on behalf of Hillary and what was communicated.

Huma and Hillary also share a close personal bond. Both their husbands have publicly humiliated them with extramarital affairs. With Hillary, it was Monica Lewinsky. With Huma, it was multiple porn stars.

During Huma’s pre-wedding celebration to then Queens Congressman Anthony Weiner, Hillary said she had one daughter. “But if I had a second daughter, it would [be] Huma.” Huma and Weiner, who was predicted by many to succeed Michael Bloomberg as New York’s mayor, were married in July 2010, with Bill Clinton performing the wedding ceremony. Less than a year later, in June 2011, Weiner resigned in disgrace when it was discovered that he had been sexting through Twitter to porn actress Ginger Lee, among others.

Weiner, however, was quick to attempt a political comeback. In April 2013, he ran for the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor. Through Clintonesque hubris, Weiner believed that New Yorkers would give him a second chances. Second chances are only deserved if you learn your lesson, and Weiner did not. Under the alias “Carlos Danger,” Weiner had continued his sexting a year after his resignation and up until his mayoral announcement with Sydney Leathers. Due to her notoriety, she also became a porn actress.

In the run up to the mayoral race, Huma and Weiner did a
People
magazine family profile. Huma was quoted, “[i]t took a lot of work to get to where we are today, but I want people to know we’re a normal family.” About as normal as the Clintons.

How has Hillary Clinton managed to stay as far away from being indicted as she has when you consider the absolutely brazen way in which she carries out her various crimes? Talk about transparency! One could almost call her a criminal exhibitionist.

Hillary can’t be given all the credit: she has a partner, a sidekick, a co-dependent accomplice who worships the very ground she walks
on. A mystery person who watches her back, covers her ass, and takes some heat. This person enables Hillary to continue with her criminal exhibitionism by serving as her protector and cover-up specialist. Her name is Cheryl Mills.

Since the 1990s, Mills has been at Hillary’s side—first as her White House lawyer, then as her closest and most loyal adviser in the State department, and now as a key member of the Clinton Foundation board. It happens that the board is under fire for raking in hundreds of millions of dollars from questionable foreign sources in alleged influence-peddling deals.

Mills has proven her worth many times through quite a few of Hillary’s scandals. During her stint as White House deputy counsel, Mills ordered Commerce Department officials to “withhold” from investigators email and other documents detailing then president Bill Clinton’s and First Lady Hillary’s illegal selling of seats on foreign trade junkets for campaign cash. In sworn statements by Commerce’s former FOIA chief Sonya Stewart Gilliam, “Ms. Mills, in her position as deputy counsel to the president, advised Commerce officials to withhold certain documents.” Gilliam called Mill’s actions “highly irregular.”

During the Monica Lewinsky and “Filegate” scandals, Mills was entrusted with locating and recovering 1.8 million emails under subpoena after they were discovered to be missing. The emails were relevant to investigators. Mills made “the most critical error” in recovering them and in her testimony regarding the lost emails, she claimed she had “no recollection” so many times, it sounded like an interview with an amnesia patient. The emails were never found! She took the heat, protecting her masters like a good watchdog.

In yet another scandal, Mills brazenly withheld and concealed so many subpoenaed emails and documents detailing illegal fund raising activity between the White house and the Democratic National Committee that the Justice Department demanded she be charged with obstruction of justice and perjury! Yet, nothing happened. Mills was right in the thick of it as she sorted through key Benghazi
documents, deciding which ones to withhold and which ones to show the independent review board. She also brokered the deal that Hillary made (and couldn’t keep) with President Obama regarding rules for foreign donations.

CHAPTER 26

THE SINS OF THE FOUNDATION

I
n May 2015, Peter Schweizer released
Clinton Cash
, an exposé on the many shady affairs of the Clinton Foundation. A week before the release, George Stephanopoulos interviewed Schweizer under the veneer of “objective journalism.” Stephanopoulos laid into Schweizer, opining that the book had “partisan interest” and contained no “smoking gun.” Later it was discovered that Stephanopoulos had his own partisan interest—he had donated $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation.

The Clintons would have you believe that the Clinton Foundation was founded as a purely philanthropic endeavor, designed to enrich and aid the vulnerable populations of the world. The foundation, according to Clinton Global Initiative CEO and former Goldman Sachs executive Robert Harrison, “works across the globe to expand opportunity and help millions of people live their best life story.”
562

In truth, the Clinton Foundation is organized crime hiding just behind the guise of tax-deductible fundraising. A peek behind the curtain
shows bribery, kickbacks, and political favors. It is the familiar story of wealthy liberal elites and the poor minorities they are “helping.” The more people there are to “help,” the more money there is to plunder.

The Clintons essentially work as middlemen between lucrative contracts and high moneyed individuals or businesses. Repayment comes in the form of donations to the foundation or filtered directly to the Clintons in the form of “speech fees.” Six-figure paydays for single speeches are not granted specifically to Bill. Since January 2014, Hillary has given fifty-one speeches for a total of $11.7 million.

In the original ethics agreement between President Obama and Hillary, the important issues of disclosure and not accepting foreign donations were set in place to provide transparency and prevent conflict of interest issues with regards to Hillary as secretary of state and the massive amounts of cash coming in from the same foreign countries that were lobbying the State Department for various contracts. As described earlier in the book, a large percentage of “donors” were host to either Bill or Hillary Clinton, and paid huge sums for speeches they gave. Since January 2014, the Clintons have earned $25 million from speeches.

According to the
Washington Post
, there was one entity clearly associated with a foreign government that provided speaking fees of $250,000 to $500,000 for a speech by Bill Clinton: The energy Ministry in Thailand. The U.S. Islamic World Forum also provided $250,000 to $500,000 to the foundation for a speech by Bill Clinton, according to the new disclosure. The event was organized in part by the Brookings Institution with support from the government of Qatar. In addition, the list is studded with overseas corporations and foundations. They included the South Korean energy and chemicals conglomerate Hanwha, which paid $500,000 to $1,000,000 for a speech by Bill Clinton. China Real Estate Development Corp. paid the foundation between $250,000 and $500,000 for a speech by the former president. The Qatar First Investment Bank, now known as the Qatar First Bank, paid fees in a similar range. The bank is described
by Persian Gulf financial press as specializing in high-net-worth clients. The Telmex Foundation, founded by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, provided between $250,000 and $500,000 for a speech by Hillary Clinton.
564

It came as no surprise when on May 21, 2015, the
Washington Post
reported that the Clinton Foundation had neglected to report $26 million it had received from major corporations, universities, foreign sources, and other groups.

As Hillary Clinton continues to say she is anxious to have all her emails examined and that she feels strongly about “transparency,” an oversight of this proportion does not fit in with the statements she makes.

The error or oversight in this lack of disclosure was due to the fact that the foundation viewed the $26 million as “revenue” rather than donation. This may be a valid distinction to the Clintons, however most Americans just don’t buy it. If I wanted to cloak a donation, I might be inclined to list it as a “payment.” Conversely, if the IRS was looking into my income, I might be inclined to list the $26 million as “donations.”

Revelations like this and others underscore the public’s growing weariness with the Clintons’ insatiable concern with money. Hillary continues to look wide-eyed into the camera and smile, just as if there was nothing inappropriate in her and her husband’s activities.
