| HRC's Two Official Favors To Morocco Resulted In $28 Million For the Foundation |
| 2016-10-31 |
| [Daily Caller] Hillary Clinton did two huge favors for Morocco during her tenure as secretary of state while the Clinton Foundation accepted up to $28 million in donations from the country’s ruler, King Mohammed VI, according to new information obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group. Clinton and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief Lisa Jackson tried to shut down the Florida-based Mosaic Company in 2011, operator of America’s largest phosphate mining facility. Jackson’s close ties and loyalty to the Clintons were revealed when she joined the Clinton Foundation’s board of directors in 2013, just months after she left the EPA. Jackson is also close to John Podesta, Clinton’s national campaign chairman. Morocco’s state-owned phosphate company, OCP, would ostensibly have benefited from Jackson’s move to shut down Mosaic. Mohammed donated up to $15 million to the Clinton Foundation through OCP. |

| #5 In 1977 I was working on a study to extend the rail system in Morocco from Marrakesh to Laayoun, (or Al Aaiun), which used to be Spanish Sahara, and is now referred to as 'disputed territory'. The railroad was going to 'tie the country together', like the US transcontinental railroad in 1869, but it was also going to haul phosphate. There must be a boatload of it there. Global politics and phosphate. Why would Clinton be interested? Money? |

| #4 But what do you think the King got for his $28M? They were already pushing the precursors into Afghanistan. And strangely that flow of AN and CAN never really slowed down... Protection of African mineral deposits? Possible expansion of U.S. markets, import license, something involving a huge monetary return no doubt. Moroccan fertiliser company Office Cherifien de Phosphate (OCP), the world's leading phosphate exporter, reported 2015 net profit up 57.8% year-on-year to 8.01 billion dirhams ($825.8-million) in March 2016, attributing the rise to higher output. Follow the money. |

| #3 I wonder if that cash is just a pass through (laundered) from a more problematic donor via the humble king?... |

| #2 Besoeker - I agree - this is a huge story. But what do you think the King got for his $28M? They were already pushing the precursors into Afghanistan. And strangely that flow of AN and CAN never really slowed down... |

| #1 The story that simply won't go away, nor should it. PAKISTAN MAROC PHOSPHORE (PMP) PMP was created in 2004 and began its activities in 2008 on the Jorf Lasfar platform. Thus, PMP is a joint venture company held in equal parts between OCP and the Fauji Pakistani Group. PMP’s activity is mainly the production and the marketing of merchant phosphoric acid, with a fixed production capacity of 375 000 tons/year P2O5. And much of it crossing the Pak boarder into Afghanistan for use in Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). |
