NYT, Boston Globe Both Report That Different Structures of the Clinton Foundation Deliberately Hid Money

Ed Morrissey does a good job of summing up at Hot Air.

This New York Times article by, again, Mike McIntire and Jo Becker shreds the Clintons' claims that Canadian law forces them to hide their money and donor lists. Mollie Hemingway reported this yesterday in the Federalist -- a scoop, I'm pretty sure.

Today, the NYT follows up on Sean Davis' work and adds a little bit.

The Clintons' defense here is that they could not comply with their agreement to disclose donors to the State Department, because Canadian law prohibits such disclosures. Sean Davis called up some experts and found out that just wasn't true.

Here's what McIntire and Becker found.

Aides to former President Bill Clinton helped start a Canadian charity that effectively shielded the identities of donors who gave more than $33 million that went to his foundation, despite a pledge of transparency when Hillary Rodham Clinton became secretary of state.
The nonprofit, the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (Canada), operates in parallel to a Clinton Foundation project called the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, which is expressly covered by an agreement Mrs. Clinton signed to make all donors public while she led the State Department. However, the foundation maintains that the Canadian partnership is not bound by that agreement and that under Canadian law contributors’ names cannot be made public.
The foundation cited that restriction last weekend in explaining why it did not disclose $2.35 million in donations from the chairman of Uranium One, the subject of an article in The New York Times last week....
"This is hardly an effort on our part to avoid transparency," said Maura Pally, acting chief executive of the Clinton Foundation, as she took new efforts to avoid transparency.

I may have altered the end of that sentence.

Instead, the foundation said that the partnership was created by the Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra to allow Canadian donors to get a tax benefit for supporting his work with Mr. Clinton -- a benefit that came with the price of respecting Canada's privacy laws. On Wednesday, the partnership issued a statement citing a legal opinion that "charitable donors have an expectation and right of privacy."

However, interviews with tax lawyers and officials in Canada cast doubt on assertions that the partnership was necessary to confer a tax benefit; an examination shows that for many donors it was not needed, and in any event, since 2010, Canadians could have donated to the foundation directly and received the same tax break. Also, it is not at all clear that privacy laws prohibit the partnership from disclosing its donors, the tax lawyers and officials in Canada said.
The partnership, established in 2007, effectively shielded the identities of its donors -- and the amount they gave -- by allowing them to bundle their money together in the offshoot Canadian partnership before it was passed along to Clinton Foundation programs. The foundation, in turn, names only the partnership as the source of those funds.
...
The partnership might have been necessary to provide a tax benefit to early individual donors, but not since 2010. That year, the Clinton Foundation was specially designated by the Canadian government, allowing Canadians to write off donations given directly to it.
"It makes no tax difference," Mr. Blumberg said, "whether a donor gives the money to a Canadian charity or the Clinton Foundation."
....
How many more such entities exist, or might be created in the future, is also unclear. A search of charity registrations in Britain, for instance, found a William J. Clinton Foundation UK that has raised about $1.5 million for a climate change initiative. Foundation officials said those donations were made public.
...
Mr. Blumberg, the tax lawyer, said that while privacy laws would prohibit charities from misusing donor information for commercial purposes, they generally did not otherwise prevent disclosure of donors. But, he said, laws in the province of British Columbia -- where the Clinton Giustra partnership is set up --- are stricter. But even there, he said, a charity could arrange for disclosure of donors if it wanted to, something Mr. Giustra is now saying he will attempt to do.

Ed Morrissey makes a great point about this, which I think actually Becker and McIntire want to make, but don't, out of journalistic professionalism:

If the specific rules of British Columbia just happened to appear, on the surface, to be stricter about disclosing donor information, isn't it terribly convenient the Clintons and their eternal Mob Lawyer Bruce Lindsey incorporated there, as opposed to much-more-convenient Toronto or Quebec?

It sure looks like the Clintons went forum shopping to specifically find someplace where the tax laws could be misconstrued -- or pretended to be misconstrued, rather -- to shield their donors from disclosure.

More "mistakes were made" in Boston, it turns out.

An unprecedented ethics promise that played a pivotal role in helping Hillary Rodham Clinton win confirmation as secretary of state, soothing senators' concerns about conflicts of interests with Clinton family charities, was uniformly bypassed by the biggest of the philanthropies involved.

The Clinton Health Access Initiative never submitted information on any foreign donations to State Department lawyers for review during Clinton's tenure from 2009 to 2013, Maura Daley, the organization's spokeswoman, acknowledged to the Globe this week. She said the charity deemed it unnecessary, except in one case that she described as an "oversight."
During that time, grants from foreign governments increased by tens of millions of dollars to the Boston-based organization.
Daley’s acknowledgement was the first by the charity of the broad scope of its apparent failures to fulfill the spirit of a crucial political pledge made by the Clinton family and their charities. The health initiative has previously acknowledged failing only to disclose the identity of its contributors, another requirement under the agreement.

You can read the rest at the Boston Globe. You get the idea.

So... what can you say?

I do note this move the Clintons always make. See if you've seen this before.

Step One: The Clintons claim they didn't break the law because their departure from regular order was justified by a technicality.

Step Two: You look into this alleged technicality that the Clintons claim saves them from being felons, and you find that it doesn't apply -- they're misinterpreting it (almost certainly deliberately).

Step Three: You tell them: Your lawbreaking is not excused by this claimed technicality, because you are deliberately misinterpreting the law to claim this technicality.

Step Four: Now they bat innocent eyes at you and ask: "Why are you focusing on mere technicalities when there are such important issues to be dealt with?!"

Then they turn to their partisan supporters in the public, jab their thumbs in your direction, and say "Ha, ha, look at these silly people who spend all day talking about technicalities in the law."

Correction: Ed Morrissey wrote the article, not Noah Rothman. Sorry. I've just been linking Rothman a lot lately.

Another Correction: It was Mollie Hemingway, not Sean Davis, who broke the story about the Clintons lying about Canadian laws about disclosure.

101 Look at this quote from the NYT of all places:
However, interviews with tax lawyers and officials in Canada cast doubt on assertions that the partnership was necessary to confer a tax benefit; an examination shows that for many donors it was not needed, and in any event, since 2010, Canadians could have donated to the foundation directly and received the same tax break. Also, it is not at all clear that privacy laws prohibit the partnership from disclosing its donors, the tax lawyers and officials in Canada said.

That's the kind of paragraph you'd find in a story about Republican lack of transparency. This isn't even "critics say," or "But opponents say." This is "We talked to some lawyers, and here is what they say."

The NYT is not carrying Hillary!'s water. The Boston Globe is not carrying Hillary!'s water.

While both Hillary! and the Lightworker followed Alinsky they had a pretty big falling out after the election and the entire Obama organization seems to be full on Socialism these days. It sounds not at all unlike the old Chino-Soviet tension where the Soviets claimed to be a "real" workers' paradise and the Heaven's Mandate of a royal Chinese class claimed their brilliant complete central control was better. Both murdered their own citizens and both nearly started a nuclear war in order to expand into the other.

I know you're being sarcastic, but Bill raped at least one woman (Juanita Broderick) years ago, and Hillary was complicit in suppressing this.

The deleted e-mails and the Clinton Global Initiative charities are just the tip of the iceberg. We stupid plebes will never know the whole truth of this.

But we know enough. They're sociopathic criminals and pathological liars. And Bill was elected to two terms as President, and Hillary still might get elected. She's not dead until they drive a stake into her. Literally.

Not that strategic voter fraud and billions of in-kind campaign contributions by the media won it. No, is was their projections on the blank slate--projections of socialism--that won the day.

I agree: This a debate we should have.

Because socialism is unconstitutional--I don't give a fuck if the country votes for it. No more than I would stand by if communism was voted in.

Socialism is the same prison as communism--they just tell you their gulags will issue a blanket _and_ a pillow.

In our lawsuit against the union, they had to report who they had contributed to. I still remember one line item: $7 million to the AFL-CIO. WTF? For a California union?

But now it makes sense. Disguise the donors. Move the money around under all the shells. By the time it gets to the DNC, the real donor identity has been obliterated. Boxes checked, campaign maximums observed.

If McCain wasn't running for re-election and needed to pretend to be a Tea Party favorite again for a year I would expect him to throw his support behind him.

I wish a tenth of this effort was put into investigating the guy who claimed he was born in Kenya in his author bio (and most assuredly on his college application), who's walking around with a Connecticut Social Security number (who the fvck is Harrison J. Bounel?), who looks EXACTLY like the founder of Subud, and who has joked for several years in a row about his Muslim religion at the WHCD.

But all that -- the stuff that's affecting our lives right now, every day --- all that's off limits, and whomever raises these issues is dismissed by left AND right as a tinfoil crackpot.

Where's the Post on this? Hell, where's Breitbart or NRO?

This is why secession is now in play. Sharing a country with a delusional, corrupt party is one thing. Sharing a country with a delusion, corrupt party that also believes the law exists only as a cudgel to attack its enemies is simply not feasible.

This is still the party that burned down black Tulsa when blacks were Republican. They believe in nothing but their own power.

Set up a non-profit.. Sell influence to foreigners who "donate" to your trumped up "charity".

Spend most of those donations on "overhead" building a political organization with thousands of operatives and fund your lavish lifestyle which includes world travel to foreign countries where you finagle more "donations".

And, in special cases where some foreign businessman wants a really huge favor, Billy boy makes a half-million dollar speech that gets deposited directly into Bill and Hill's bank account.

I tells ya.. they're criminal geniuses!

And as an aside, I must say this is all the fault of the Tea Party.. because if the IRS had not been so busy harassing those Tea Party groups applying for tax-free statuses, I am quite sure the IRS would have caught this Clinton scam. Amiright? or, amiright?

People who aren't waving one banner or the other just don't get how toxic things have become. And won't listen if they think you have an axe to grind (and who wouldn't when the apparatus of the state uses guns to squelch political speech and donations?) Very sad.

258 I'd just like to add that it's high time we let these criminals know that their criminal behavior will no longer be tolerated, and that, thank God, Eric Holder is out at Justice and we now have a new no-nonsense AG who will get to the bottom of this!

259 Heh, people still think the GOPe is just paralyzed by fear of the MFM. Even Rush buys this. We will not win until we come to grips with the segment of the GOPe that wants to be the minority token opposition party so they can just feed at the trough and figure out how to thwart both them and the power loving Dems.

262 Late to the party, but in case no one mentioned it:

Finally, someone in the media is asking why this isn't an Obama scandal, too.
http://www.whitehousedossier.com/ "Excuse me, this is an Obama scandal" post.

I doubt this will be mentioned much elsewhere in the press, because Obama doesn't have any scandals, he just bobs along with the tide and is always shocked, shocked to discover that someone in his own admin has done something bad (and implied, w/out his knowledge or approval).

263 So, I wonder when we start hearing the names of the actual people employed by the Clinton Foundation.

Because, near as I can tell, mission #1 was to fundraise and #2 was to retain the top political talent (those not already working for Obama) on a steady paycheck.

But, there is also going to be some interesting overlap--people who were being paid by the Clintons AND getting a government check.

264 Just so you know ... Art Thread says she'd rather CLOSE than have any of you back. She said she gave you the best 280 posts of her life, and all you did in return was leave her for some fat drunk slut. She says hosting you was like eating a dirt sandwich.

Her words. Not mine.

Easy-Peasy. With-hold sex. Er, I mean support.
They can't win without us. Period, end of story. But until it happens, nobody will believe it'll happen.
And the next election is always the most important election of our lifetimes, so we can't toss away our vote with so much at stake!

And so, like the abused wife, we lay down and think of something pleasant.
It'll be different this time. Really.

Same people who worked for the Clinton WH - Cheryl Mills, Donna Shalala, Huma Abedin, etc. Mentioned this before, but Hillary brought 75+ of her own people to State with her - something that no other SoS has done (the may bring a few people, nothing like this).

The have people who work for them wherever they go - like Huma Abedin, who has worked for Hillary since interning for her at the WH in 1996. It is truly CLINTON, INC.

271 Question:

If you were going to set up a foundation to hide foreign influence, enable an affluent lifestyle, and have very little in the way of auditable charity projects...

What would you have done differently?

When a guy gives to an org that supports traditional marriage he loses
his job...I think donors to charities SHOULD be confidential. I also
think charities out to be, I dunno....let's call it "charitable." Not
"flies me around the world in luxury"-able and not "employs my campaign
war team"-able.

Posted by: major major major major at April 30, 2015 11:02 AM (QlI33)

No, a thousand times no. Make it anonymous, and you enable this sort of shit, and more. You really want to reform charities? End the tax deduction for charitable donations. You really think all the donors to the Clinton Scamnation would have done so with after-tax dollars?

If a particular charitable cause means something to you, or to me, we will give to it without expectation of a tax credit.

Of course it's the wrong hand. Consider what it's attached to.

That reminds me... back in the 70's my father had a cassette tape called "the Crepitation Contest", a mock-serious spoof of a sports event.... it was HILARIOUS! I still remember the end, the Champ was going for the win with a series of "fluffers" or something, when you a loud, wet one...the crowd is silent....and the announcer yells "OOOOH! HE SHIT!!!!"He was disqualified.
I laughed.
