Hillarys Two Official Favors To Morocco Resulted In $28 Million For Clinton Foundation

Daily Caller ^ | October 31, 2016 | Richard Pollock

Posted on by bobsunshine

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.

Clinton also relaxed U.S. foreign aid restrictions on Morocco, thus allowing U.S. funds to be used in the territory of Western Sahara where OCP operates phosphate mining operations. The aid restrictions stemmed from Moroccos illegal occupation of the territory since 1974.

Morocco is repeatedly condemned for seizing the territory and for unilaterally extracting the countrys valuable minerals, impoverishing whats left of the local Sahrawi Arabs.

No nation recognizes Moroccan sovereignty over the Western Sahara and the United Nations Security Council legal office and the International Court of Justice both demand that Muhammed withdraw his claim over the territory and end illegal extraction of minerals.

It is ironic that the entire world knows how to get favors from the US. Simply make a donation to the Clinton Foundation. It is just us clueless Americans who can not see the obvious.

The Moroccan quid pro quo is gaining traction. Hillary Was Paid Off By The King Of Morocco : Bill Clinton got paid speeches, Clinton Foundation donations, and, in return, then-Secy Hillary would give US support from the State Dept. Despite Morocco's human rights abuses, Hillary was viewed as being among its most ardent supporters in the Obama administration. WIKILEAKS---"This was HRCs idea, our office approached the Moroccans and they 100 percent believe they are doing this at her request. The King has personally committed approx. $12 million both for the endowment and to support the meeting. Abedin said Clintons attendance at the CGI event was a condition of the $12 million contribution. Just to give you some context, the condition upon which the Moroccans agreed to host the meeting was her participation. If HRC was not part if it, meeting was a non-starter, Abedin said. ============================================ REALITY CHECK--In 2008, the US State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) commenced a five-year, $697.5 million compact with the Kingdom of Morocco to reduce poverty and stimulate economic growth. The State Dept's MCC compact invests in expansion of fruit tree agriculture (including olives, nuts, and dates), support for small-scale fisheries and fish- markets, enhancement of the artisanal sector in the city of Fes, and training for small-scale businesses across all these sectors .........with an emphasis on training for women and youth including literacy training. 2012---Former Secy of State Hillary Clinton shakes hands with Morocco's

Foreign Minister Saad Eddine Othmani in Rabat Feb 26, 2012. 2015--Former US president Bill Clinton, on a private visit to Morocco, was received in the Rabat royal palace by HM King Mohammed VI. ABC News reported in may 6, 2015 that ex-president Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundations Global Initiative were being hosted at a five-star luxury hotel in Morocco by one of the world's most controversial mining companies, criticized for "serious human rights violations" by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice. The Moroccan government-owned mining company OCP operates in disputed international territory in a remote part of the Saharan Desert and the firm has been criticized for removing the resources without adequately compensating the impoverished people who live there. Any time the human rights of a population are systematically suppressed in this type of way it's a serious concern, and I think it's worthy of attention, said David McKean, who has studied the issue for the RFK center. OCP mining paid $1 million to help host the event and throw a private cocktail reception, to the dismay of human rights activists. source http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/clinton-foundation-taking-accused-rights-violator/story?id=30840212 2016 UPDATE Pres O gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation on her visit to Morocco for "teaching Muslim girls"...... to be administered by the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation. Michele, her daughters and her mother in Morocco's palace. =========================================== (hat tip LORIANNE) The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a bilateral US foreign aid agency established by the US Congress in 2004, applying a new philosophy toward foreign aid. It is an independent agency separate from the State Department and USAID. The MCC Board is made up of representatives. These include the MCC's CEO, the U.S. Secretary of State who is the chair, the Secretary of Treasury who is the vice chair, the administrator of USAID, the U.S. Trade Representative and other private-sector or development-related officials.

Why is are she and bammy so eager to give our money to muzzard countries?

(because muzzards are now the latest and fastest-growing voting and contribution block for the dems)



To: bobsunshine

Oh man, this is despicably juicy, if true. Not only did she take a bribe, but she carried through by using the EPA to suppress competition from an American company. No tree high enough.

You are speaking about a really interesting deal that ended up giving Vladimir Putin and the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. ..."

Not only did Hillary take a bribe from a foreign country (cime of treason), but she used the EPA to suppress competition from an American company (prosecutable under the Hobbs Act).

To: Liz

“...the Hobbs Act...” I didn’t realize there was a specific act about this. It’s such an obvious and egregious abuse of power that it should be prosecutable on... well general principles. Or, she should be prosecutable as an individual for damages to the company, and any bribes forfeit.



To: Pearls Before Swine

The Hobbs Act has been used to prosecute pols who took bribes ....seen as impairing the economic viability of an area. Hillary might also be subject to laws governing govt officials who use taxpayers and taxpayer resources to advance the interests of a foreign govt.
