When you put together all the revelations about the Clinton Foundation and its affiliates that have cascaded our way (and continue to arrive), one explanation makes sense. It was a money-laundering scheme designed to obtain and camouflage foreign money paid to the Clintons to curry favor, including favorable treatment by Hillary Clinton’s State Department.
The scheme works like this: collect millions of dollars in foreign money, dump it into a foreign charity, pretend that the law prohibits you from ever disclosing the identities of those foreign donors to the foreign charity, then have the foreign charity bundle all the cash and send it to the Clinton Foundation. Then, when the time comes–whether it be a Clinton Foundation conference or a lavish Clinton Foundation trip overseas–make sure those individuals get some me-time with the Clintons.
If you look holistically at the entire scheme’s setup:
- massive flow of foreign cash,
- refusal to disclose donors,
- secret (and now destroyed) private e-mail servers,
- blatantly bogus excuses,
From soup to nuts, the entire operation was constructed in order to provide a facade of plausible deniability for Hillary Clinton.
If the standard to be applied to understanding all of this is evidence sufficient to convict in court, then, thanks in no small part to the destruction of evidence, it might be (or might not be, considering the criminal conviction of Bob McDonell) difficult to close the case. But if the standard is one of whom the American voters will honor with our highest office, then the facts are persuasive.
