Emails suggest Hillary helped Clinton Foundation donors
[Washington Examiner] Hillary Clinton extended warm welcomes to executives from companies that had donated to the Clinton Foundation, new emails from her first year as secretary show.Her frequent interactions with firms that had given generously to her family philanthropy -- many of which were lobbying the State Department at the same time -- raise questions about whether she used her diplomatic perch to help certain companies get ahead. For example, in September of 2009, Clinton asked aides to help the Blackstone Group secure a requested visa. Blackstone donated between $250,000 and $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation, donor records show. Clinton indicated in the email that several Blackstone executives had approached her chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, to inquire about the visa. And the list goes on and on, to include former Ambassador Joe Wilson and Symbion Power Co. Posted by: Besoeker 2015-07-05 |
