I published the above on my own site, on January 31st.  Since then, Investors' Business Daily has joined in:

Clinton’s Filthy Lucre

Ethics: Is it just us, or is there something off about ex-president Bill Clinton using his influence overseas to enrich a pal and then accepting the pal’s big donation to his foundation? This looks like a bribery racket.

Strong words, yes, but a New York Times report details a 2005 incident of Clinton and a minor Canadian mining financier jetting into Kazakhstan, where the two met with the local strongman. Shortly afterward, Clinton’s pal won a huge uranium-mining contract that left competing mining companies astounded.

Anything untoward? Clinton says of course not. After all, doesn’t every ex-president jet in to Central Asia from time to time to check up on his charity projects and sample the gourmet cuisine? Nothing to see here, move along.

But the story doesn’t end there. Clinton’s friend, Frank Giustra, eventually ended up a billionaire from that “lucky” trip. He then donated $31.3 million to Clinton’s $208 million foundation as its largest donor in 2006. Any connection? Nada, Clinton’s defenders say.

Who doesn’t think something fishy is going on?

Well, the editors of IBD have certainly detected the odor of rotting carp! Much, much more at the link.

While I'm certain that the vast majority of OpEdNews readers are going to vote for the Democratic nominee, whoever that turns out to be, if the nominee is Senator Clinton, you had better prepare yourselves for another four years of unseemly revelations and disclosures of financial double-dealing, because, in the end, the Clinton's are simply not honest people.
