Another Day, Another Hillary Clinton Scandal

by JASmius



It's becoming a virtual assembly line of corruption, isn't it?:

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s brother, Tony Rodham, sat on the board of a self-described mining company that in 2012 received one of only two “gold exploitation permits” from the Haitian government—the first issued in over fifty years.

The tiny North Carolina company, VCS Mining, also included on its board Bill Clinton’s co-chair of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC), former Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive.

The Rodham gold mine revelation is just one of dozens featured in a forthcoming bombshell investigative book by three-time New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer, according to a Thursday statement from publishing giant HarperCollins. The publisher says the book, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, is the culmination of an exhaustive one-year deep dive investigation into the nexus between the Clintons’ $100+ million personal wealth, the Clinton Foundation, and the decisions Hillary made as Secretary of State that benefited foreign donors, governments, and companies. VCS’s coveted gold mining exploitation permit was apparently such a sweetheart deal that it outraged the Haitian senate, since royalties to be paid to the Haitian government were only 2.5%, a sum mining experts say is at least half the standard rate. Moreover, the mining project in Morne Bossa came with a generous ability to renew the project for up to twenty five years. Nevertheless, the fledgling company proudly touted its luck in landing the deal.

“This is one of two permits issued today, the first permit of their kind issued in over five decades,” reads the only press release under VCS’s “news” tab on its scant website.

One of two things is going on here, it seems to me: (1) Team Hillary! is emptying out the scandal boneyard like a Thriller video now, way, way early in the 2016 election cycle so that when the primary season begins in earnest, it will all be old news and Mrs. Clinton can focus on the forlorn hope of tacking to Elizabeth Warren's left and recapturing the adoration of the Nutroots; or (2) the Obama Regime is "rippling" Clinton scandal leaks....



....to squash her nascent 2016 presidential candidacy like an overripe grape and clear the decks for Fauxcahontas to cruise to the Donk nomination.  After which - or concurrently - they will do the same, or try to, to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.  A task enormously more difficult than it will be to destroy the Empress, who provides an endless supply of ammunition to her enemies in the White House.

And...the Haitian senate was outraged by Clinton corruption?  Is that actually possible?
