Bill Clinton’s foundation cashed in as Sweden lobbied Hillary on sanctions

Bill Clinton’s foundation set up a fundraising arm in Sweden that collected $26 million in donations at the same time that country was lobbying Hillary Rodham Clinton’s State Department to forgo sanctions that threatened its thriving business with Iran, according to interviews and documents obtained by The Washington Times.

The Swedish entity, called the William J. Clinton Foundation Insamlingsstiftelse, was never disclosed to or cleared by State Department ethics officials, even though one of its largest sources of donations was a Swedish government-sanctioned lottery.

As the money flowed to the foundation from Sweden, Mrs. Clinton’s team in Washington declined to blacklist any Swedish firms despite warnings from career officials at the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm that Sweden was growing its economic ties with Iran and potentially undercutting Western efforts to end Tehran’s rogue nuclear program, diplomatic cables show.

So our State Department's policy in Sweden on Iran were governed by donations to Bill? How Nordic.

DNC violates their own rules to promote Hillary Clinton

The RNC under Reince Priebus frequently finds itself walking on eggshells in an attempt to make sure that everyone who wants a shot at the presidential nomination gets their fair chance. This can be tricky when you have to schedule a lot of debates and dodge your way past the various fundraising activities, PACs, Super PACs and campaign aides dashing around the country. But there are rules in place, and the committee needs to remain as agnostic as possible while the primary process plays out. But as Politico reports this week, the DNC doesn’t seem to need to worry about such trivial things. In fact, their finance chief seems to be all in on the Ready For Hillary train. (Politico Pro subscription required.)

In an apparent violation of party rules requiring Democratic National Committee officers to remain neutral in presidential primaries, the DNC’s finance chairman has been raising money for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Henry Muñoz III, a former fundraiser for President Barack Obama who became DNC finance chairman in 2013, is helping organize a Wednesday fundraising event for Clinton in San Antonio, according to longtime Democratic operative Gilberto Ocañas and Bexar County Democratic Party Chairman Manuel Medina.
“I know he’s made a few calls to raise money,” said Medina of Muñoz.“He’s certainly taking it upon himself to make tomorrow’s fundraiser a success.” Muñoz was also present at a Clinton campaign kickoff breakfast in San Antonio last month at which local supporters met the campaign’s national political director, Amanda Renteria, and other staff, according to Ocañas.
DNC rules, designed to ensure all candidates get a fair shake in presidential primaries, state, “The Chairperson shall be responsible for ensuring that the national officers and staff of the Democratic National Committee maintain impartiality and even-handedness during the Democratic Party Presidential nominating process.”

So far, the response from the DNC has been pretty much radio silence. Asked for a comment, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz had nothing to say. Nor did Munoz himself. But there was one person who seemed ready to jump in with an opinion, and that was one of Clinton’s opponents, Senator Bernie Sanders.

Rules are for the little people like Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley. The Clintons aren't little people.

Fascists like changing the meaning of words.

No, strike that; idiots like changing the meaning of words. Fascists like threatening to harm you if you don't go along with their changes in the meaning of words.

The Clintons are the toe-nail fungus in the foot of American politics. Time for the Jublia.
