New Abedin Emails Reveal Hillary Clinton State Department Gave Special Access to Top Clinton Foundation Donors - Judicial Watch

You might think that using a Government employee like Huma as a channel of communication to employees of the Clinton Foundation in order to curry favors with C.F. donors is corruption on it's face.

But did you know that Huma has an SGE (Special Government Employee) designation?

An SGE can be an employee of the Federal Government at the same time as having outside employment, such as with the Clinton Foundation.
Now keep in mind that the SGE designation was established to allow the Government to hire folks with special skillsets like space science or other such things.

Using Huma as an SGE is another example of the brilliance of the Clinton crime family to use a practice for a purpose it wasn't established.
But it does serve as an excuse if challenged.
I wouldn't be surprised if you hear such an excuse used if the Government/Clinton Foundation incest news gains traction.
 
The media would be all over this if it was anyone but Clinton. Hillary, though, has managed to capitalize on corruption rather than suffer from it. She's the quintessential politician and thrives on corruption.

If that's not the definition of pay to play, I don't know what is.

Make a sizable donation to the Clinton Foundation, receive special consideration from the State Department. Yeah, I think that IS the definition of pay to play, a long established Modus Operandi of the Clintons.
 
The media will pick up on this after she is elected. Job one is to prevent Trump from winning. Once shes in this will be the scandal that occupies her entire presidency.
 
The MSM and apparently a lot of voters has decided to include corruption as part of the fabric of government.

We have always had corruption and got all pissy about it, but now we have grown up and accepted it as part of the way it is and the way it's gonna be!

The FBI and the Justice Department have put their stamp of approval on it, adding "Nothing to see here. Move along, please."

It will soon be official, so you can quit your whining and bitching about it.
 
The cynicism in this thread is really depressing. I don't disagree; it's just that this pay-to-play/buying access to Clinton is so disgusting that I want to believe that Joe and Jane Public are as appalled as I am.

How could Joe and Jane Public know about this if the media isn't reporting it? But heaven help us if it turns out Melania's speech was plagiarized!!! Everyone will know about how a trophy wife's speechwriter stole passages!

It's not that. Joe and Jane are most certainly going to be upset about that.

The Biased lame Stream Media won't let it out into the sun until after she's been elected. Joe and Jane won't hear, know about until after the election.

How long before you can impeach a president who's recently been elected? Can it happen before Jan 20th?

From the Associated Press:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money - either personally or through companies or groups - to the Clinton Foundation. It's an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.

Well, that opening bit is a little misleading. More than half of those she met with of those released so far were Clinton Foundation donors excluding meetings with foreign diplomats or US government officials.

The case with Yunus could be bad, but it could also be benign, her behavior is also consistent with a desire for a stable Grameen Bank:

"Clinton met with Yunus a second time in Washington in August 2011 and again in the Bangladesh capital of Dhaka in May 2012. Clinton's arrival in Bangladesh came after Bangladesh authorities moved to seize control of Grameen Bank's effort to find new leaders. Speaking to a town hall audience, Clinton warned the Bangladesh government that "we do not want to see any action taken that would in any way undermine or interfere in the operations of the Grameen Bank.""

Without any specific actions taken, i don't see a strong case being made. She's allowed to meet with people. With Yunus it may have influenced her duty, and if so, that's certainly bad. But the fact that she was unsuccessful seems to work in her favor, perhaps it was incompetence that saved her, or perhaps this was simply a case of overlap between her personal and professional duties.

It is getting pretty good coverage at this point. Of course it took a day or two after your post. More to come. Judge Sullivan ordered the State Dept. to release all 15000 emails that they got from the FBI by the end of September. Those are the deleted emails. They weren't deleted for nothing. I am real curious what is in those emails.

If they knew about it they would be. More is coming out and it will gain coverage. AP will realize their subscription (article purchase) rate just went sky high. That will give them some motivation to find even more. They did a huge amount of work on organizing the information in this article, more than anyone else. Every major news outlet is using this article.

Greetings, Mo. :2wave:

:agree: I think we will face other more acute problems to divert our attention, possibly real or even "manufactured" ones that will bring more restrictions on the freedoms granted to us by our Constitution, than another Hillary scandal, which has almost become another regular "ho-hum" or "what else is new" event. :yawn:
