THE CLINTON GLOBAL FOUNDATION HAS
NOT HAD A VERY GOOD WEEK.
THERE HAVE BEEN ANY NUMBER OF MEDIA
INVESTIGATIONS INTO ALLEGATIONS
OF SPECIAL ACCESS BEING GIVEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE DONATED TO THE
FOUNDATION, AND THIS HAS LED MANY CLINTON BACKERS TO PUSH
BACK AGAINST THIS NEW ATTENTION.
MEDIA MATTERS TURNS OUT DOES NOT
LIKE ALL THIS INVESTIGATION.
WE ARE ALSO SEEING THAT MESSAGING
COMING OUT OF THE CLINTON
FOUNDATION ITSELF.
HERE IS THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER.
AS YOU POINTED OUT, BY OUR ACCOUNT THERE ARE OVER 1700
OTHER MEETINGS THAT SHE HAD
WHEN SHE WAS SECRETARY OF STATE, SHE WAS MEETING WITH
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS CONSTANTLY.
TO PULL ALL OF THEM OUT OF THE
EQUATION, CHERRY PICK A SMALL NUMBER OF MEETINGS IS PRETTY
OUTRAGEOUS.
I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT, I THINK WE NEED TO
STEP BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT VOTERS ARE EXAMINING HERE.
HILLARY CLINTON AND HER FAMILY HAD A FOUNDATION, IT IS
CHARITABLE.
THEY DON'T RECEIVE A SALARY FROM IT.
DONALD TRUMP AND
HIS BOTTOM LINE AND HIS NETWORKS ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO ALL
KINDS OF INTERNATIONAL ENTITIES, THE BANK OF CHINA, A NUMBER OF
LARGE RUSSIAN COMPANIES, GOLDMAN
SACHS.
HE IS INDEBTED OR RELIANT FOR INCOME ON A NUMBER
OF THESE ENTITIES AND NOBODY IS
ASKING HIM TO DISCLOSE OR DIVEST.
HILLARY CLINTON DOESN'T
HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH
CHARITABLE WORK.
I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK A LOT MORE CLOSELY AT
DONALD TRUMP IF WE ARE GOING TO
DRILL DOWN THIS DEEP ON HILLARY CLINTON.
I'M PRETTY SURE WE HAVE DRILLED PRETTY DEEP ON DONALD
TRUMP.
WE DRILLED SO DEEPLY FOUND LIGHT AND SWEET CRUDE.
WHEN THEY SAY WE NEED TO STEP BACK ON THIS ISSUE, IT MEANS
THEY ARE NOT WINNING ON THAT
ISSUE.
THEY KEEP PUTTING OUT STATEMENTS LIKE THIS.
"THE FACT
REMAINS THAT HILLARY CLINTON NEVER TOOK ACTION AS SECRETARY
OF
STATE BECAUSE OF DONATIONS TO
THE CLINTON FOUNDATION."
THAT IS NOT A FACT, THAT IS YOUR
ASSERTION.
NOW I SEE ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA THAT THE AP REPORT
HAS BEEN DEBUNKED.
NO, IT IS NOT ACTUALLY DEBUNKED, YOU CLAIM IT
IS.
FOR THESE GUYS, THEY KEEP SAYING YOU HAVE PROVEN NOTHING.
WE ARE GOING TO
BREAK DOWN ONE CASE STUDY HAVING TO DO WITH
BAHRAIN.
FIRST OF ALL YOU HEARD HIM TALKING ABOUT THESE NUMBERS
OF MEETINGS THERE WERE.
THE THING THEY THINK THEY HAVE
DEBUNKED IS THE AP INVESTIGATION
THAT SAID: WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS BECAUSE THE AP INFO GRAPHIC
DOESN'T ENCAPSULATE EVERY MEETING SHE HAS EVER HAD, THUS
SHE NEVER DID ANYTHING BAD.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT INFO
GRAPHIC OR WHAT NUMBER THEY CAME UP WITH.
IF IT TURNS OUT THAT IN
ONE CASE YOU AUTHORIZED MILLIONS IN GOVERNMENT DOLLARS GOING TO
ANOTHER COMPANY OR COUNTRY BECAUSE OF DONATIONS, I DON'T
CARE ABOUT WHAT THE PERCENTAGE
OF CORRUPT MEETINGS YOU HAD WAS.
YOU DID ONE, THAT IS ILLEGAL AND
WE HAVE IDENTIFIED MULTIPLE AT
THIS POINT.
ONE LAST THING, THE CLINTON PEOPLE ARE THE ONES DOING THE
CHERRY PICKING.
THEY SAY I HAVE 1700 MEETINGS WITH FOREIGN
GOVERNMENTS AND US GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.
BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT
THE AP WAS TALKING ABOUT, THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT MEETINGS WITH
PRIVATE CITIZENS.
OF THOSE MEETINGS, MORE THAN HALF HAPPEN
TO DONATE A LOT OF MONEY TO THE
CLINTON FOUNDATION.
AS SECRETARY OF STATE YOU MUST MEET WITH
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS AND
OFFICIALS.
PRIVATE CITIZENS, THAT IS YOUR CHOICE.
AS THE HEAD
OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT, YOU
CHOSE TO MAINLY MEET WITH PEOPLE WHO HAD ALREADY GIVEN YOUR
FOUNDATION MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, OR WERE PROMISING TO GIVE MORE
MILLIONS.
THAT IS DEFINITELY THE APPEARANCE OF CORRUPTION.
LET'S DRILL DOWN INTO ONE CASE.
WE SORT OF ALLUDED TO THIS
A WEEK AGO.
THIS THEORETICALLY SHOULD BOTHER US.
TO SEE THOSE
WEAPONS SALES GO UP DURING THAT
TIME, WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THEY WILL LIKELY BE USED AGAINST
ACTIVISTS, THAT SHOULD BOTHER US BUT IT IS LUBRICATED BY MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS INTO THE FOUNDATION.
TO BE FAIR TO SEC.
CLINTON, IT IS ACTUALLY OVERALL ATROCIOUS
US FOREIGN POLICY THAT WE DIDN'T
WANT THE DICTATORS IN THE GULF BEING OPPOSED.
THOSE ARE SOME OF
OUR TOP ALLIES IN THE WORLD.
THEY MIGHT HAVE INCREASED AT THE
TIME ñ BUT THE $32 MILLION SEEMS TO HAVE HELPED, AND THAT IS A
PROBLEM.
NOW WE WILL NEVER KNOW.
IN TERMS OF CRUSHING THE REBELLION, LOOK AT THIS NEXT
FACT.
AND A DECADE LATER WE WILL INVADE THEM.
ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE PUBLIC EXPLANATION MIGHT BE
EMBARRASSING.
WE CAN HAVE THIS.
IN FACT, THERE WAS ONE OTHER PERSON WHO
AGREES, HILLARY CLINTON.
THEY HAVE ANNOUNCED THAT IF SHE
BECOMES PRESIDENT THEY WILL NO
LONGER TAKE THOSE DONATIONS TO THE CLINTON FOUNDATION FROM
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.
IS IT
REALLY THAT DIFFERENT TO BE
PRESIDENT OR SECRETARY OF STATE?
IN TERMS OF FOREIGN POLICY, THAT
IS THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT
OFFICE IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
SHOULD YOU HAVE DONE THOSE DEALINGS WHILE SEC.
CLINTON WAS MAKING THOSE FOREIGN POLICY DECISIONS?
OF COURSE NOT.
YOU ALREADY TOOK A LOT OF MONEY.
IT'S NOT LIKE AFTER A
WEEK IT WEARS OFF ALL
OBLIGATION.
IT'S NOT LIKE AFTER BILL CLINTON STEPPED DOWN THAT HE
DIDN'T THEN BEGIN TO ACCEPT MORE
MONEY AND MAKE $150 MILLION FOR HIMSELF, LET ALONE THE
CHARITIES, LET ALONE THE
POLITICAL DONATIONS.
IT'S NOT LIKE BAHRAIN CAN TURN AROUND AND
GIVE HILLARY CLINTON MORE MONEY
AFTER SHE STOPS BEING PRESIDENT.
YOU HAD THE MONEY BEFORE, YOU
WILL HAVE IT LATER.
SHE IS SAYING WHILE I AM PRESIDENT I GUESS I WILL START
MAKING MONEY FOR A LITTLE BIT.
FINAL GRAPHIC, WE CAN SPECULATE ABOUT WHETHER IT WAS
JUST GOVERNMENT POLICY TO HELP
THESE GOVERNMENTS CRUSH PEOPLE, BUT LOOK AT WHAT SPECIFIC ñ THEY
SAY THEY WILL DO IT, CONGRESS IS NO, THEN ANOTHER MEETING IS SET
UP AND SUDDENLY IT IS HAPPENING
AGAIN.
AND YOU THINK SHE FORGOT THAT SHE WAS GIVEN $32 MILLION?
WE KNOW THAT SHE KNEW BECAUSE YESTERDAY ONE OF THE EXECUTIVES
FROM THE CLINTON FOUNDATION EMAILED HER TOP AIDE AND SAID
REMEMBER THE CROWNED PRINCE OF BAHRAIN IS ONE OF OUR FRIENDS.
I
DON'T THINK HE MEANT WE PLAY BACKGAMMON TOGETHER.
HE MEANT
OUR FRIEND AS AND HE GAVE US $32 MILLION YOU BETTER TAKE THAT
MEETING.
AND HILLARY CLINTON WAS UNSURE, WOUND UP TAKING THE
MEETING.
I THINK THEY SPENT ONLY 10 MINUTES, BUT IT WOUND UP
BEING $630 MILLION IN THE AMOUNT OF DIRECT COMMERCIAL ARMS SALES.
YOU CAN'T DISPUTE THIS.
I AM NOT
SAYING THAT IT WAS QUID PRO QUO AND SHE SAID GIVE THE 32 MILLION
AND LATER ON I WILL GIVE YOU 632
MILLION IN THESE ARMS DEALS.
THINK
OF ALL THE OTHER COMPANIES THAT ARE BENEFITING FROM THIS DEAL.
BUT WHAT YOU HAVE IS A CLEAR APPEARANCE OF CONFLICT OF
INTEREST.
YOU CAN'T HAVE OUR SECRETARY OF STATE GOING AROUND
TAKING MONEY FROM ONE END, AND ON THE OTHER HAND GIVING
ADVANTAGES TO THE PEOPLE SHE
TOOK MONEY FROM.
THAT LOOKS LIKE CORRUPTION, AT A MINIMUM IT
LOOKS LIKE CORRUPTION.
IT PROBABLY IS CORRUPTION.
YOU CAN'T GO AROUND BEING OUTRAGED AND SAY MIGHT HAVE
BEEN CORRUPTION.
