The State Department website proudly touts the agency’s global efforts to eradicate corruption and bribery, but its own former head, Hillary Clinton — the woman Sen. Tom Harkin assures us is one of the most honest and trustworthy politicians in the country — has been exposed for using her position for personal gain.

“The United States has been a leader in the multinational effort to end bribery and corruption in international business practices, a campaign that has been supported by the World Bank, the Organization of American States, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and other multilateral organizations and institutions,” it notes.

“We need Gilbert Chagoury to speak to the substance person re Lebanon,” Band demanded in yet another email.

The Clinton Foundation is clearly not one of those organizations. A set of emails discovered this week by Citizens United appears to reveal a clear pay-to-play scheme at work while Clinton was at the State Department.

According to The Daily Caller, the emails indicate the Clinton Foundation was shuffling around a series of donations from a corrupt Bangladeshi banker at the same time Clinton was publicly defending him in her capacity as secretary of state during a visit to Bangladesh. The email exchange occurred between Cheryl Mills, then Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff, and Amitabh Desai, the Clinton Foundation’s director of foreign policy.

Another round of emails, released Tuesday after a freedom of information request by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, indicates the entirely unethical relationship between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department during Clinton’s tenure, in which Clinton Foundation officials freely sought favors from State Department officials.

In one email, a Clinton Foundation official, Doug Band, requested Clinton staff hire an acquaintance of Band’s — a person, he reminded the federal staff as if they were his employees, who was “important to take care of.”

“Personnel has been sending him options,” assured Clinton confidant Huma Abedin.

“We need Gilbert Chagoury to speak to the substance person re Lebanon,” Band demanded in yet another email. “As you know, he’s a key guy there and to us and is loved in Lebanon. Very imp.” he continued.

“It’s jeff feltman,” replied Abedin in reference to Jeffrey Feltman, U.S. ambassador to Lebanon at the time. “I’m sure he knows him. I’ll talk to jeff,” she promised the apparent shadow-boss of the State Department.

This evidence of unethical — and possibly illegal — behavior only underscores the utterly inexcusable decision of the administration’s own Justice Department to kill an open-air investigation into the quid pro quo side business Clinton was running while at the State Department.

These revelations also underscore the utter failure of the mainstream media to hold those in power accountable. Instead of exposing real corruption at the highest levels of government, they prefer to spin tall tales of a terrible Trump and his equally terrible potential presidency that exists only in their minds.

However, if even more emails with even more incriminating revelations are discovered — something WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has promised will occur — the liberal lackeys in the media pretending to be journalists might finally have to start doing their jobs.

“No wonder Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin hid emails from the American people, the courts, and Congress,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Filton in an official press release. “They show the Clinton Foundation, Clinton donors, and operatives worked with Hillary Clinton in potential violation of the law.”

Clinton campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin maintains “Hillary Clinton never took action as secretary of state because of donations to the Clinton Foundation.” These newly discovered emails certainly suggest otherwise.
