Flashback: Corruption, Thy Name Is Hillary Clinton | News and Politics – PJ Media

Now that President Donald Trump is being accused of all sort of misdeeds -- although I think it's limited to abuse of power at this point -- because he asked Ukraine to investigate possibly corrupt practices by Joe and Hunter Biden, perhaps it's time to revisit news about actual blatant corruption. It involved, who else, Hillary Clinton.

Back in 2016, the Clinton Foundation admitted that it received a "gift" from Qatar to the tune of $1 million while Hillary Clinton was U.S. Secretary of State. Although she promised to let the State Department review any new or significantly increased foreign donations, she (and her husband) failed to inform the agency of Qatar's royal donation.

"Oops, sorry about that!"

According to Reuters, Qatari officials "pledged the money in 2011 to mark the 65th birthday of Bill Clinton." They also wanted to meet Bill "in person the following year to present him the check."

Yeah, right. As the Daily Wire's editor-at-large, Josh Hammer, puts it: "Who among us has forgotten to report a million-dollar donation from the world's number one funder of international Sunni Jihad?"

In typical Clinton modus operandi, Clinton Foundation officials initially refused to confirm the Qatar donation when asked about it by journalists. The admission only came, in 2016, when John Podesta's emails were published by WikiLeaks. Among these emails was one sent to Podesta by a foundation official to inform Hillary's presidential campaign chairman about the donation.

And that's not all. Let's quote Reuters:

But:

If they want to investigate corruption -- or "bribery," as Democrats were saying until a few days ago -- Democrats should start with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Something tells me there's a whole lot to discover there.

Hillary Gloats, Takes Victory Lap Over Impeachment By Hank Berrien – The Daily Wire

On Thursday, Hillary Clinton took a victory lap and gloated after the House impeached President Trump on Wednesday, seemingly crediting herself for the success of the Democrats endeavor. Clinton tweeted, The president has abused his powerusing his office to further not the nations objectives but his own personal, political objectivesand, together, we are holding him accountable. Feel proud. Keep going.

On Monday, Clinton had tweeted, In America, no one is above the law. Join @IndivisibleTeam at events around the country this Tuesday to demand your representatives fulfill their constitutional oaths to hold the president accountable.

On Tuesday, Clinton followed by tweeting, More than 750 historians devoted to studying our nations past, including Ron Chernow and Robert A. Caro, have signed a letter supporting the presidents impeachment and removal.

On Wednesday, Clinton snapped, One of our most precious rights as Americans is the right to determine who our leaders are. The president abused his powers to cheat in the next election and rob us of that right. Then he obstructed Congress to cover it up. Impeachment is the only remedy.

Clinton has never recovered from losing to Trump in 2016, and there are a number of items that could buttress that assumption; in November, as The Daily Wire noted, the Washington Free Beacon reported that the Clinton Foundation had plunged financially since the 2016 election, losing half of its value. The Beacon stated, The foundation reported total revenue of just $30.7 million, including $24.2 million worth of grants and contributions, a record low for the alleged charity. That figure was well short of the foundations total expenses for the year$47.5 million resulting in a net loss of $16.8 million.

Also in November, The Daily Wire reported that Clinton told BBC Radio 4s Mishal Husain, I think about what kind of president I would have been all the time. I think about what I would have done. How, obviously, I would have been different. How I think I would have been a better, more successful president.

Another item from November: Clinton telling Andrew Ross Sorkin, who was interviewing her for the The New York TimesDealBook series, You know, I do live rent-free in Donald Trumps head.

From October, Clinton revealing that she thinks she won the 2016 election, saying, You know, it truly is remarkable how obsessed he remains with me. But this latest tweet is so typical of him. Nothing has been more examined and looked at than my e-mails. We all know that. So maybe there does need to be a rematch. Obviously, I can beat him again.

In September, appearing on CBS Sunday Morning,Clinton said, Look, there were many funny things that happened in my election that will not happen again. And Im hoping that both the public and press understand the way Trump plays the game he knows hes an illegitimate president. I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories he knows that there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did.

Hillary Clinton couldnt have picked a more historic day to be surrounded by some of her most ardent fans on home turf.

As the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee who lost to Trump after winning the popular vote by 3 million, took the stage at Pace University, just 4 miles away from her home in Chappaqua.

The House voted on Wednesday to impeach Trump for alleged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

It is a story of abuse of power, using the office of the president to further not the nation's objectives but his own personal political objectives," Hillary Clinton said at the Plesasantville event, moderated by singer Vanessa Williams. "The facts are not at dispute. This is not a he said, she said. This is what happened.

"It's really important to me that I do everything I can and make sure that we retire the incumbent regardless of what happens," she added.

Frank Cosentino of New Rochelle, said he was curious to hear Clintons take on the nature of politics today.

She won the popular vote by 3 million and didn't become president," he said. "And now the person that beat her is getting impeached. Its a crazy time.

The mother-daughter duo were at Pace to discuss their book, The Book of Gutsy Women with singer Vanessa Williams, a fellow Chappaqua resident.

One of our most precious rights as Americans is the right to determine who our leaders are.

The president abused his powers to cheat in the next election and rob us of that right. Then he obstructed Congress to cover it up.

Lori Gowen Morton, a member of Chappaqua Friends of Hill leading up to the 2016 election, came to Pace with her daughters Nora, 12, and Kelly, 9.

I find it particularly satisfying today to be in the company of strong women celebrating other strong women, she said.

I want my daughters to grow up with the confidence and resilience to pursue their own big ideas and overcome challenges and failures that come along the way.

Gowen Morton said she couldnt imagine a better role model for this than Hillary Clinton and the women whose stories she and Chelsea share in their book.

I also want them to grow up in a country that defends the ideals of our constitution, protecting our institutions from corruption, foreign interference and unchecked power.

Kathleen Troy, from Danbury, Connecticut, said history would look kindly on Hillary and see just how ugly this whole scene was.

I do think the election was stolen," she said. "It's historic today. And I'm also heartbroken about where we are and knowing how much better everything would have been with her.

Chappaqua's own Hillary and Chelsea Clinton wrapped up their book tour at Pace University Wednesday night, and addressed the impeachment of President Donald Trump voted by the House of Representatives.

Trump faces two articles of impeachment which include abusing his power by asking the Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and obstructing justice by blocking witnesses and information from Congress.

Some in the audience say they're worried about the nation's democracy. Hillary Clinton made a reference to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who says Trump will never be impeached in the Senate, saying that he may want it to end with an acquittal but there are people who want the president impeached.

She says she doesn't plan on tossing her name into the 2020 election, and that her focus is on the American people.

The mother-daughter duo also shared stories from "The Book of Gutsy Women." It celebrates more than 100 amazing women throughout history.

The event was moderated by actress and singer Vanessa Williams.

Pompeo Pilloried After Posting Photo of Policy Board Hillary Clinton Created That Now Has ‘Lots of White Males’ but No Women – The New Civil Rights…

Welcome to Gilead, folks.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is under fire after posting a photo of members of hisForeign Affairs Policy Board that is comprised of nearly all white men and no women.

In 2011 then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton created the advisory board. It has, before Secretary Pompeo, been a far more diverse group.

For example, heres a photo of the Foreign Affairs Policy Board under Secretary of State John Kerry:

In years past, the board has included notable women including former Congresswoman Jane Harman, think tank president Anne-Marie Slaughter, and former governor and EPA administrator Christine Todd Whitman, among others. The initial founding group of 11 included four women, in addition to Sec. Clinton.

On social media many made clear their frustration that yet again a Trump administration project is not representative of America but composed of mostly white male seniors.
