Details Clinton ties to crooks, warlords, and tyrants. Bill's bribed pardon of Mark Rich was the tip of an enormous iceberg of corruption. Huge bribes were paid to buy Hillary's Senate vote, State Dept rulings, and future presidential action. --- Hillary gave high State Dept jobs to unqualified Clinton operatives, and special waivers so they could receive double salaries. The Dept made large direct grants to favored firms. She blocked approval of foreign deals till applicants gave to the Foundation or paid Bill for speeches. --- Bill got scores of millions for mediocre speeches on routine subjects. The exercise was merely a cover for bribes. --- Hillary connived with freebooters in China, India, Africa, Latin America, who oppressed workers and damaged the environment. Leaders labeled criminal or despotic by the State Dept would nevertheless get waivers, subsidies, honors and awards if they paid the Clintons. Bribed by a rich Nigerian, Hillary delayed naming Boko Haran a terror group: it would hinder his business. --- Clinton operatives worked to overcome environmentalist opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline after its backers paid the Clintons millions. --- Most of the self-enrichment involved resource-plunder: diamonds, uranium, gold, oil, iron, lumber. The Clintons gained from the looting of Africa. They got foreign leaders to withhold permits from experienced firms, and grant them to Clinton-tied startups. One notable deal transferred control of vast uranium reserves to Russia. --- When an earthquake hit Haiti, Bill, as special UN envoy, gave reconstruction contracts to Clinton partners. Crony consultants got fat fees for worthless reports. There were huge overruns and payments for work never done. One project reached only 5% of its target. Hillary's brother got mining rights for a pittance. International relief aid did little good after the Clintons had taken their cut. --- Hillary's private server was probably used to hide Foundation involvement in State Dept matters, and that is probably why she purged 30,000 emails.
