A new wave of evidence has reached Congress, delivered by Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, detailing potential corruption within the Clinton Foundation. The documents suggest a pattern of accepting donations from individuals and entities – both foreign and domestic – actively seeking political influence.
The revelations come after a stalled IRS investigation launched in 2019. Memos obtained earlier this year revealed a sudden halt to the inquiry, and a silencing of whistleblowers attempting to come forward. One memo bluntly stated, “Can’t talk about the CF [Clinton Foundation],” effectively cutting off communication with those providing crucial information.
These newly presented documents reportedly demonstrate how Bill and Hillary Clinton’s foundation allegedly collected funds from those hoping to gain favor, even during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. Officials suggest this evidence was deliberately withheld from previous investigations into potential “pay-to-play” schemes.
Whistleblowers claim the evidence was suppressed during a 2015 corruption investigation led by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Little Rock, Arkansas, before it was abruptly shut down by the Obama administration’s Justice Department. The current evidence, they say, highlights a deliberate obstruction of legitimate inquiries by FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors.
Financial analysts Lawrence Doyle and John Moynihan have long argued the Clinton Foundation operated more like a for-profit entity than a charitable organization. Their research indicated the foundation functioned similarly to a global fund based in Geneva, Switzerland, brokering money and pharmaceuticals for profit.
Doyle and Moynihan pointed to unusually high “administrative fees” – reportedly 60% of all donations – a significant departure from the standard 10-15% typically seen in non-profit organizations. They asserted the foundation was, in essence, a closely held family partnership designed to advance the personal interests of its principals.
Testifying before Congressman Jim Jordan, Doyle explained the foundation acted as an intermediary, taking fees for brokering both money and pharmaceutical deals. Moynihan further stated the Clinton Foundation operated as an unauthorized hybrid of a private foundation and a public charity, mirroring the structure of the Swiss-based fund.
This unconventional structure potentially allowed the Clinton Foundation to avoid paying appropriate taxes, effectively misleading the IRS. The foundation allegedly profited from brokering deals without adhering to the tax regulations governing legitimate non-profit organizations.
Previous investigations into the Clinton Foundation, including those led by Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ appointee John Huber and later by US Attorney John Durham, ultimately concluded without charges. However, critical details emerged regarding the handling of these probes.
Key whistleblowers, Doyle and Moynihan, were never interviewed during Huber’s two-plus year investigation. Their evidence against the Clinton Foundation was reportedly lost not once, but three times, raising serious questions about the thoroughness and integrity of the inquiry.
The current release of documents to Congress represents a renewed effort to scrutinize the Clinton Foundation’s financial dealings and determine whether past investigations were intentionally hampered. The evidence suggests a complex web of financial transactions and potential influence peddling that demands further examination.
