Clinton Foundation's Deep Financial Ties to Ukrainian Oligarch Who Pushed for Closer Ties to EU Revealed

"Between 2009 and 2013, including when Mrs. Clinton was secretary of
   state, the Clinton Foundation received at least $8.6 million from the
   Victor Pinchuk Foundation, according to that foundation, which is based
   in Kiev, Ukraine. It was created by Mr. Pinchuk, whose fortune stems
   from a pipe-making company. He served two terms as an elected member of
   the Ukrainian Parliament and is a proponent of closer ties between
   Ukraine and the European Union.
   
   In 2008, Mr. Pinchuk made a five-year, $29 million commitment to the
   Clinton Global Initiative, a wing of the foundation that coordinates
   charitable projects and funding for them but doesn't handle the money.
   The pledge was to fund a program to train future Ukrainian leaders and
   professionals "to modernize Ukraine," according to the Clinton
   Foundation. Several alumni are current members of the Ukrainian
   Parliament. Actual donations so far amount to only $1.8 million, a
   Pinchuk foundation spokesman said, citing the impact of the 2008
   financial crisis.
   
   The Pinchuk foundation said its donations were intended to help to make
   Ukraine "a successful, free, modern country based on European values."
   It said that if Mr. Pinchuk was lobbying the State Department about
   Ukraine, "this cannot be seen as anything but a good thing."

   Friends
   
   When I first came across the title to this article, I didn't think much
   of it. In fact, I almost didn't even click the link thinking it was
   just a repeat of a prior expose I highlighted in the post: Hillary
   Clinton Exposed Part 2 – Clinton Foundation Took Millions From
   Countries That Also Fund ISIS.
   
   Fortunately, I did decide to take a look and pretty soon my jaw
   absolutely hit the floor. Although the Wall Street Journal didn't play
   up the connection, I was stunned to see that of all the oligarchs
   connected to foreign governments who donated to the Clinton Foundation
   while she was Secretary of State, Ukraine was at the very top. [ ... ]

More Clinton Foundation Cronyism – The Deal to Sell Uranium Interests to Russia While Hillary was Secretary of State

"As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three
   separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow
   of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One's chairman
   used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35
   million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the
   Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama
   White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to
   the company made donations as well.
   
   And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a
   majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a
   Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin
   that was promoting Uranium One stock.
   
   Whether the donations played any role in the approval of the uranium
   deal is unknown. But the episode underscores the special ethical
   challenges presented by the Clinton Foundation, headed by a former
   president who relied heavily on foreign cash to accumulate $250 million
   in assets even as his wife helped steer American foreign policy as
   secretary of state, presiding over decisions with the potential to
   benefit the foundation's donors.
   
   From the New York Times article: Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation as
   Russians Pressed for Control of Uranium Company
   
   If you looked at the U.S. economy under a microscope, what you'd see is
   a gigantic cancerous blob of cronyism surrounded by tech startups and
   huge prisons. If you zeroed in on the cancerous tumor, at the nucleus
   you'd see a network of crony institutions like the Federal Reserve,
   intelligence agencies, TBTF Wall Street banks and defense contractors.
   Pretty close to that, you'd probably find the Clinton Foundation. A
   veritable clearinghouse for cronyism masquerading as a charity.
   
   This year has seen a great deal of investigative work on the shadiness
   of the Clinton Foundation, much of which has been highlighted here at
   Liberty Blitzkrieg. Here's the tally so far:

   Clinton Foundation's Deep Financial Ties to Ukrainian Oligarch Who
   Pushed for Closer Ties to EU Revealed
   
   This is How Hillary Does Business – An Oil Company, Human Rights Abuses
   in Colombia and the Clinton Foundation
   
   More Hillary Cronyism Revealed – How Cisco Used Clinton Foundation
   Donations to Cover-up Human Rights Abuse in China
   
   The latest controversy is related to donations to the Clinton
   Foundation by parties with interests in uranium deals with Russia while
   Hillary was Secretary of State. It leverages the work of Peter
   Schweizer from his upcoming book "Clinton Cash," which is already the
   year's most highly anticipated political work ahead of its release date
   of May 5th.
   
   Interestingly, at the very center of the latest story is Canadian
   businessman Frank Giustra, a very close friend of Bill Clinton. He was
   also at the center of the story about the oil company and human rights
   abuses in Colombia referenced earlier. Here's an excerpt from that
   prior piece:
   
   The details of these financial dealings remain murky, but this much is
   clear: After millions of dollars were pledged by the oil company to the
   Clinton Foundation — supplemented by millions more from Giustra himself
   — Secretary Clinton abruptly changed her position on the controversial
   U.S.-Colombia trade pact. Having opposed the deal as a bad one for
   labor rights back when she was a presidential candidate in 2008, she
   now promoted it, calling it "strongly in the interests of both Colombia
   and the United States." The change of heart by Clinton and other
   Democratic leaders enabled congressional passage of a Colombia trade
   deal that experts say delivered big benefits to foreign investors like
   Giustra.
   
   The details of her family's entanglements in Colombia echo talk that
   the Clintons have blurred the lines between their private business and
   philanthropic interests and those of the nation. And Hillary Clinton's
   connections to Pacific Rubiales and Giustra intensify recent questions
   about whether big donations influenced her decisions as secretary of
   state.
   
   Remember the name Frank Giustra as you read the following excerpts from
   the blockbuster New York Times article:
   
   The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy
   agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining
   stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made
   Rosatom one of the world's largest uranium producers and brought Mr.
   Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium
   supply chain.
   
   But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just
   the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman
   who would like to be the next one.
   
   At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian
   mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors
   of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group
   built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that
   would become known as Uranium One.
   
   Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the
   world, the sale gave 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. Among the agencies that
   eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr.
   Clinton's wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
   
   As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three
   separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow
   of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One's chairman
   used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35
   million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the
   Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama
   White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to
   the company made donations as well.
   
   And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a
   majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a
   Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin
   that was promoting Uranium One stock.
   
   Whether the donations played any role in the approval of the uranium
   deal is unknown. But the episode underscores the special ethical
   challenges presented by the Clinton Foundation, headed by a former
   president who relied heavily on foreign cash to accumulate $250 million
   in assets even as his wife helped steer American foreign policy as
   secretary of state, presiding over decisions with the potential to
   benefit the foundation's donors.
   
   Right, because the Clintons were able to grow their assets to $250
   million thanks to unicorns and leprechauns sprinkling free cash on
   their heads.
   
   Either way, the Uranium One deal highlights the limits of such
   prohibitions. The foundation will continue to accept contributions from
   foreign individuals and businesses whose interests, like Uranium One's,
   may overlap with those of foreign governments, some of which may be at
   odds with the United States.
   
   Now, after Russia's annexation of Crimea and aggression in Ukraine, the
   Moscow-Washington relationship is devolving toward Cold War levels, a
   point several experts made in evaluating a deal so beneficial to Mr.
   Putin, a man known to use energy resources to project power around the
   world.
   
   Somehow the New York Times failed to mention the Ukrainian coup. I
   won't hold my breath for a correction.
   
   The path to a Russian acquisition of American uranium deposits began in
   2005 in Kazakhstan, where the Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra
   orchestrated his first big uranium deal, with Mr. Clinton at his side.
