Hillary must be one heck of a threat to the RW.
I wish her safe passage to the Oval Office 2016.

Those people give me chills as to how far they will go to keep Hillary Clinton from a 2016 win.

Do you know why the latter doesn't give a flying shit?


Because their wealth, privilege, and status protect them from the consequences of Republican hegemony.


To Hell with them I say.

iota of truth to this. Shame.

Thank you for posting

And the names fawning over the original article were from those who claim to be from the anti-corporate anti-main stream media left of the party. Pretty transparent at this point.

It clarifies the issue.

The Clinton Foundation announced that it would increase the frequency of its voluntary disclosure of donors from annual to quarterly, beginning in July.

...still a diversion from the main point of the story, which was that Clinton had influenced the uranium deal.

During the initial deal by Canadian Mr. Guistra started in 2005, Hillary was a Senator and one of many against the deal. She had misgivings. It was CIFUS under the Bush Admin, that was considering whether to recommend allowing the deal. Remember when Bush wanted to let a foreign company contract to run US ports and all the upset that caused? Due to that nonsense, Congress passed the Foreign Investment National Security Act of 2007, which requires among other things, for CIFUS to periodically notify CONGRESS on their investigations. So the subsequent sale to Russians was under review by members of Congress. DID WE HEAR ANY COMPLAINTS THEN? Since Uranium One held assets and interests in multiple countries, the governments of these countries had to APPROVE the sales to the Russians as well. Richard Perle, serving under Regan told CBS during an interview, that most of CIFUS decisions were made at lower level agency staff levels. They didn't involve the heads of various departments. We are now part of a complex global market. Foreign investment is an important component to our economy. The Clintons are keen players in this market. Bill is an excellent communicator and organizer. What he does is promote global investment while encouraging corporations to consider using some of their wealth and profits to foster social issues and to donate their time and money to global charities. The Clinton Foundation through their donations, fosters health and economic growth in poor countries. The Clinton are smart and know how to play international financial hardball. They know how to motivate business into becoming socially responsible businesses. And they personally profit as well. Nothing wrong or illegal about that either. But now The GOP and right wing are going to try to smear the Clintons as greedy profiteers.

Bill Clinton acts as an IPA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investment_promotion_agency.

...Jeb Bush, for example, has real foreign money conflicts which can be traced directly to his bank account.

from 'Jeb Bush Speaks Up on Foreign Policy' article:

During his time as a governor, Florida was largely dependent on foreign trade, and Bush worked as a senior advisor at Barclays PLC, advising various banks from Europe to Asia. Both these factors helped him gain a better understanding of foreign markets. Another advantage is his investment partnership with a Chinese conglomerate, resulting in multiple visits during recent years.



from 'Jeb Bush Has a Mitt Romney Problem' article:

Documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Nov. 27 list Bush as chairman and manager of a new offshore private equity fund, BH Global Aviation, which raised $61 million in September, largely from foreign ­investors. In November the fund ­incorporated in the United Kingdom and Wales­—a ­structure, several independent finance lawyers say, that operates like a tax haven by allowing overseas investors to avoid U.S. taxes and regulations.

BH Global Aviation is one of at least three such funds Bush has launched in less than two years through his Coral Gables, Fla., company, Britton Hill Holdings. He’s also chairman of a $26 million fund, BH Logistics, established in April with backing from a Chinese conglomerate, and a $40 million fund involved in shale oil exploration, according to documents filed in June and first ­reported on by Bloomberg News. His flurry of ventures doesn’t suggest someone preparing to run for president, according to a dozen fund managers, lawyers, and ­private-placement agents who were ­apprised of his recent activities by Bloomberg Businessweek. Most private equity funds have a life span of 10 years. While it isn’t impossible that Bush could bail on his investors so soon after taking their money, “that would be unusual,” says Steven Kaplan, a private equity expert at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. One fundraiser for private equity adds that normally you’d be winding down such businesses, rather than expanding them, if you were going to run.



from 'Inside Jeb Bush's Shady Business Dealings With China' article:

Hainan, China was the site of George W. Bush's first major foreign policy crisis. In 2001, a reconnaissance aircraft collided with a Chinese plane, and U.S. Navy personnel were stranded on Hainan Island. Following a series of diplomatic maneuvers, mutual recognition of the event, and an apology for the death of a Chinese fighter pilot, the crew was freed.

In 2011, Jeb Bush arrived in Hainan not as an official diplomat—it had been four years since he was a public official—but as an informal liaison between Florida corporations and booming Chinese business. He was greeted by the governor, Luo Baoming, and the Hainan government put up a proud press release about how Hainan and Florida were naturally going to engage in economic cooperation:

Luo Baoming said that Hainan Province and Florida shared many similarities; therefore the two parties had wide cooperation space with immense potential. For example, Hainan and Florida are able to cooperate with each other in cruise industry. There are cruise stop ports in Haikou and Sanya in Hainan Province. During the “12th Five-Year Plan”, a world cruise home port will be built in Sanya. Luo expected that the two parties ware able to set up smooth cooperation channel and John Ellis Bush could play a key role in promoting the mutual cooperation. Finally Luo Baoming invited John Ellis Bush to attend the 2011 Annual Conference of Boao Forum for Asia to become the third person (after his father George Bush and elder brother George Walker Bush) in his family to take part in this forum

In 2013, Bush's private equity business Britton Hill Holdings invested in BH Logistics, which last spring raised $26 million from a variety of investors including HNA group, which is based in Hainan. It also operates 500 jets as part of a subsidiary, Hainan Airlines.

"For the Chinese, the Bush name and the Bush connections to energy are a natural marriage,” China business scholar Derek Scissors told BloombergPolitics. “This is a classic example of the way sophisticated Chinese firms work. They don’t want to get involved directly in a U.S. startup that’s involved in shale, so they’ll take a minority stake to keep a lower profile. They’re looking for political protection, and the Bush name legitimizes the investment and makes him a perfect partner.”

them.

I say we know them by their works...and the NYT is quite the piece of work, these days.

At long last, have they NO shame? They aren't the "paper of record" anymore....they're like the punk in the neighborhood with a long record!!!
