Why is it the lid on the Clinton corruption is never lifted by the mainstream media? Is it because the newspaper and television folk are all FOXES. We have seen how access to State Department funds depended upon whether you were a FOB (friend of Bill). We saw how the FOH (friend of Hillary) group has managed to attack other Americans. They are now going to join together to set up what Kevin Weeks called an “X” fund where all the stolen or extorted money was kept. Thus we have the Friends of the X fund, the FOXES who will be the in-group of the Clinton kleptocrats.
It seems unseemly to call the president of U.S. past and the president of U.S. future kleptocrats. Unfortunately when I wondered what type of people the Clintons have been and what I expect they will be in governing America the word kleptocrat keeps springing into my mind.
It is defined as: “a government or state in which those in power exploit national resources and steal; rule by a thief or thieves.”
Unlike OJ’s glove that definition fits perfectly. How can it be denied: from things like little acts of thievery by lowering the value of gifts they received so that they could take them when they left the White House. The maximum value of any item could not exceed $250.00. They “estimated value of $240 for a John Quincy Adams-signed original land grant from 1826. . . . a Tiffany necklace valued at $150 but that Tiffany’s valued at $450 to $1,000.”
That little heist was exposed. They returned $48,000 worth of furniture and paid $86,000. But that was all penny ante stuff even though our friend in the Boston U.S. Attorney’s office would say “stealing is stealing.”
It is true though that like oaks, little stealings lead to big ones.
You know that from the Mark Rich case which has been called “Exhibit A of Clintonian sliminess.” To get his pardon Rich’s “ex-wife Denise had donated $450,000 to the fledgling Clinton Library and “over $1 million to Democratic campaigns in the Clinton era.” Yes, you might have guessed it, that case also tied into the uranium mine giveaway to Russia.
You all know of the Haiti dealings with Irish tycoon Davy O’Brien. The Clintons put him in line to take over the mobile communications business in Haiti and funded him with USAid dollars which Hillary controlled. He generously poured back millions of dollars into the Clinton Foundation.
Of course you heard about how the: “king of Morocco agreed to host a Clinton Global Initiative summit and give $12 million, but only if Hillary Clinton attended the May 2015 meeting.” She didn’t go but sent Bill and Chelsea.
Did you wonder why the king is so generous to the Clintons? He is merely washing money he received from the United States back to the Clinton foundation to ensure continuing receipt of U.S. money. Did you know that in 2008, “the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) commenced a five-year, $697.5 million compact with the Kingdom of Morocco to reduce poverty and stimulate economic growth.” Do you know who funds the MCC? It is funded by the U.S. government.
The Secretary of State is one of the members of the board of directors. Others are also appointed by the president. Hillary will put FOXES in all those positions.
I’ve written how Bill Clinton met with the Attorney General who is a FOB on an air strip to make sure Hillary did not get charged by the FBI. Another dirty FOH who worked to protect Hillary was Virgina Gov. Terry McAuliffe. “He steered money [more than $675,000] to the campaign of the wife of a top FBI official” . . . [the number 3 guy who became the number 2 guy] during the probe of Clinton’s emails.
In an understatement the Wall Street Journal would write “This is more evidence suggesting that the FBI probe into Mrs. Clinton’s emails was “influenced by political favoritism and double standards, . . . ”
It won’t be long before we will be singing to the tune of Old MacDonald Had a Farm the words: “Hill and BIll lived in the White House E – I – E – I – O. And in the White House they had some FOXES, E – I – E – I – O, with a FOX, FOX, here, a FOX, FOX there, here a FOX, there a FOX, everywhere a FOX, FOX . . . .”
You get the idea what we are in for some dire days. The expression WTF will be replace by WHF (White House Fox).

msfreeh,
I read a very, very long biography about Hoover several years ago. The one story that sticks in my mind in the book was how within hours of Hoover’s death his longtime personal secretary (Helen Grandy, I think her name was) and, I believe, Clyde were at Hoovers residence sneaking boxes of secret files out the back door to be whisked away by automobile and never seen again.
I always wondered where they ended up…..and if any further leverage was gained from them, and by whom.

Hoover`s Sexuality, Mob Ties
February 9, 1993|By TOM JICHA, TV/Radio Writer
Frontline does unto J. Edgar Hoover as he did unto others.
The PBS documentary series tonight peeps into the bedroom and other seamy aspects of the man who guided the FBI for almost a half-century. Two wrongs might not make a right, but they do make for an explosive and deliciously scandalous hour.
Frontline contends that Hoover was “personally corrupt, sexually compromised and tainted by ties to organized crime.“
It also alleges Hoover used surreptitiously obtained evidence of John F. Kennedy`s womanizing to blackmail him into offering the vice presidency to Lyndon B. Johnson, a Hoover ally.
Frontline also repeats and elaborates on the belief that Hoover, who labeled homosexuals “sex deviants,“ had a homosexual relationship with his aide Clyde Tolson. In addition to the hypocrisy involved, Hoover`s sexual orientation is significant because organized crime found out about it and used the threat of exposing him to keep the FBI off its case.
Anthony Summers, author of the Hoover biography Official and Confidential, said notorious mob figure Meyer Lansky was one of those who had pictures of Hoover and Tolson in a compromising situation. “Lansky controlled the pictures and he had made his deal with Hoover to lay off,“ Summers said.
A fashion model who, with her date, socialized with Hoover and Tolson one New Year`s, said she saw Hoover and Tolson holding hands in the backseat of a car. Later that evening, she says she heard Tolson express a desire to dance with Hoover at the Cotton Club in Harlem. The irony is, Hoover was livid at the time because he saw an interracial couple on the dance floor, according to the woman.
Susan Rosenstiel, wife of Louis Rosenstiel, who is identified as a mob- connected bootlegger, says she went to a party at New York`s Plaza Hotel, where she was promised a surprise. She was greeted at the door by a man in “a black chiffon dress, very short with ruffles, and black lace stockings and high-heeled shoes and a black curly wig and black eyelashes.“
The person was introduced to her as Mary. “It was clearly J. Edgar Hoover,“ she says.
Later, two teen-aged boys arrived, according to Susan Rosenstiel, and Hoover, Roy Cohn and her husband went into the bedroom and had sex with them.
“I heard (her husband Louis) Rosenstiel say that if Hoover ever brings pressure against Lansky or any of us, we`ll use this as blackmail.“
Throughout his career, Hoover claimed there was no such thing as a national crime family. He insisted organized crime was a local problem, which put it outside the jurisdiction of the FBI.
Ralph Salerno, head of the New York Committee on Organized Crime, says the hands-off policy had dire ramifications. “If they (the mob) could have been attacked before they grew, before they got the wealth, before they got the knowledge, organized crime could have been nipped in the bud … (the mob) never would have grown as strong as it got to be in later decades.“
Another reason Hoover might have gone easy on the mob, it is offered, is that he liked to play the horses, and the bookmakers he used to place bets were all mob backed. What`s more, it adds, Hoover had the kind of arrangement gamblers dream of.
According to Mrs. Rosenstiel, “(My husband) would call the boys up and they would make the bets. If Hoover won, he got paid. If he didn`t win, they would just forget it.“
Gambling debts evidently were not all Hoover didn`t pay. He reportedly never picked up a check.
Also, John Dowd, head of the government`s Organized Crime Strike Force, says, “Four years after Hoover died, I was assigned to conduct an investigation of 40 years of fraud and corruption by J. Edgar Hoover, in which he had taken at taxpayers` expense, goods and services provided to him by employees of the FBI.“
These perks included elaborate vacations disguised as business trips; using his government limos — he had three — for personal pleasure; using FBI personnel to service his lawn and to embellish and furnish his home.
Dowd also cites an incident his investigation uncovered that illustrates how petty Hoover c

“Massachusetts law firm donated $1.6M to Democrats including Hillary Clinton and received bonuses that precisely matched their political donations in massive ‘straw-donor scheme’ ”

Washington (AFP) – The FBI has unexpectedly released documents concerning ex-president Bill Clinton’s pardon of the husband of a wealthy Democratic donor, in a surprise move just days before the election in which his wife is seeking to become America’s first female president.
The release of the heavily redacted 129-page report over the pardon of trader Marc Rich — an investigation that closed in 2005 without charges — triggered questions from Democrats already angered by the FBI’s probe into hundreds of thousands of newly uncovered emails possibly linked to Hillary Clinton.
While the Rich documents were published online Monday, they received little notice until they were posted on Tuesday on a Twitter account for the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s division managing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests that had had no posts since a year ago, except for a small handful released simultaneously on Sunday.
“Absent a FOIA litigation deadline, this is odd,” said Hillary Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon.
“Will FBI be posting docs on Trump’s housing discrimination in ’70s?” he added, referring to Clinton’s Republican rival Donald Trump, a billionaire real estate magnate.
The FBI said the documents were posted shortly after they were processed, as with FOIA materials requested three or more times.
“Per the standard procedure for FOIA, these materials became available for release and were posted automatically and electronically to the FBI’s public reading room in accordance with the law and established procedures,” the statement said.
The FBI indicated that this was only a “preliminary” release that could therefore be followed by more.
Rich was indicted on federal charges of tax evasion in the United States. He was a fugitive from the Department of Justice — at a time one of the FBI’s most wanted — living in exile in Switzerland at the time of his indictment. He died there in 2013.
In a controversial move, Bill Clinton pardoned him on his last day in office on January 20, 2001. The FBI opened its investigation into the pardon later that year.
Rich’s ex-wife Denise Eisenberg Rich, whose name was redacted from the FBI files, “has been a major political donor to the Democratic Party, and these donations may have been intended to influence the fugitive’s pardon,” reads a bureau note requesting that a preliminary investigation be opened.
Some of the donations went to the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation, the predecessor to the Clinton Foundation, according to the document.
“It appears that the required pardon standards and procedures were not followed,” reads the FBI document dated February 15, 2001.
The Rich case fell under the watch of current FBI Director James Comey, then a younger prosecutor.
The FBI document dump comes as Comey is under fire, from both Democrats and some Republicans, for effectively reopening in recent days the bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.
I see all this stuff about Rich on the official record, but coming from Boston, I have to wonder how much cash was delivered in envelopes in various men’s rooms – the custom there. Cash, with a wink (or leer from Bill,) isn’t going to show on any FOIA report.
Matt: a bit more about Morocco, Hillary and OCP, “the Moroccan-government-owned mining company that has been accused of serious human rights violations.”
“Clinton vigorously supported the Moroccan King when she was Secretary of State and the U.S.-financed Export-Import Bank gave OCP a $92 million loan guarantee during her tenure as Secretary of State. The mining company also contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, according to the charity’s web site.”

Matt: a brilliant article. Witty and accurate. A great summation of Clinton corruption.
2. There is no bottom to the depths of the Clintons’ corruption: for example, see this article about the Clintons who, ignoring Morocco’s illegal seizure of Western Sahara’s Phosphate Mines, used the EPA to attempt to shut down a Florida Phosphate Plant to benefit Morocco. Of course, the head of the EPA subsequently became the head of the Clinton Foundation. http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2016/10/31/28-million-dollars-clinton-foundation-nearly-shut-florida-industry/
