Let me get this straight

No one can honestly believe a donor to the Clinton Foundation received unbiased or unweighted treatment by Senator/Secretary Clinton. This is total sleaze. As sleazy as it gets.

That's an opinion until you can show us the hard evidence.

You'd have to be a total fool to think they didn't get preferential, biased treatment.

This is a textbook case of conflict of interest. This kind of corrupt shit is exactly why conflict of interest rules were created!

80 rich people gave money to a charity run by President Clinton.

In turn, they were moved to the front of the line, given access to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton via phone meeting or brief in person meeting, a meet and greet.

No U.S. policy was enacted or altered based on these brief curtosy meetings granted to 80 donors.

Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.

At the time, both Rosatom and the United States government made promises intended to ease concerns about ceding control of the company’s assets to the Russians. Those promises have been repeatedly broken, records show.

According to this story, they got nothing but trouble from the U.S. for their money.


They made a donation, got access, but nothing was done to help them get control of the market move their holding to Russia.

I believe they were moved to the front of the meet-and-green line.

And it's as hardly as sleazy as it gets.

In 2001, energy execs met with Dick Cheney and dictated what would become U.S. policy for the next 8 years.

POLICY WAS DICTATED BY INDUSTRY VIA DICK CHENEY.

It could be but you have to prove it. And that you have not. This is what we get with Citizen's United: money is free speech. Now that is shit, yeah.
