Rob: Melinda had submitted numerous articles to OpEd News, the site I publish, and she had written a bit about some of this and I was kind of suspicious about it. And then I met John Fund when I covered the CPAC conference one year, not much of a meeting he was kind of a hoity and didn't really respond to me but, this is an interesting tying together of all the pieces here. Very interesting.
KS: It's a really interesting tie-in.
Rob: But again what was the article, what was the theme, what was the title of the article? What was the theme?
KS: Oh good point, good question. The title of the article was "Just Who is Sidney Blumenthal, The Clinton's Closest Advisor?" And the sub title was "Will Hillary's Hatchet Man be up for White House Job if She Wins?" Because, you know, she wanted to hire him when she was Secretary of State. And it got shutdown allegedly by Rahm Emanuel whose another, I don't want to say anything good about him. But I think because he's like Blumenthal, he'll say or do anything for political victory. He recognized that hiring Blumenthal, and they're political rivals by the way, so it was partly I think Emanuel recognized that Blumenthal opened up the Obama Administration to criticize him because he's such a sleaze bag, but also he doesn't like Blumenthal. They were both, he was going to be the Chief of Staff and he didn't want for Obama and, Hillary was going to be Secretary of State, so he didn't want one of his rivals getting a high ranking position. In any event, that speculation why Rahm Emanuel shot down, or allegedly shot down, Blumenthal, he was going to be an aid to Hillary. But you know as I write in this article, Blumenthal, like he's too tainted, congress even to Democrats recognize that he's complete dirt. So they would never, he could never be confirmed for any position that requires congressional approves, there's no way. But Hillary could pick him to, you know there are 2,000 White House jobs, very senior positions that don't require, roughly 2,000 jobs, that don't require congressional confirmation so if Hillary Clinton won you could have, basically as I describe him in my piece, the most a-moral political hatchet man of modern times be appointed to a senior White House position. That's a scary thought. There are other candidates who have skeletons in their closet, but Sidney Blumenthal's like, you know, Charles Manson, I mean this is a serial killer that could get a senior White House position under Hillary, and that may sound extreme, but again read my stories and see what you think. Everything, you know I link to published accounts and I quote people on the record and a few off the record and all I can tell you is Blumenthal won't deny anything I wrote nor will the Clinton family.
Rob: So you're going to send me a link to that article so it'll be in the notes for the interview here. I want to get back to Hillary and Bill's foundation and the money laundering. You write, "One money-laundering expert and former intelligence officer based in the Middle East who had access to the foundation's confidential banking information told me that members of royal families in Middle Eastern countries, including Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, have donated money to the CGEP and that has then been sluiced through to the Clinton Foundation." Now, what is terrible about that? What's wrong with that?
KS: Well, I mean if you don't think money laundering, there's anything wrong with money laundering. Look I mean, if"
Rob: What are the implications, that's what I mean. What are the implications, what are they doing, why are they giving them the money, what are the implications?
KS: Well the implications, look if you want secrecy, I mean you know if members of the royal family of Kuwait or United Arab Emirates want to give money to the Clinton Foundation, that's fine, but they should do it openly and publicly. The Saudi Arabian government, you know which, wonderful government there, they openly give money. This is the thing, the Clinton Foundation acknowledges receiving money from a bunch of Dictatorial Governments, a lot of business people who have been accused, and you know, of criminal misconduct. Think about if they openly take money from people like that and governments like that, who are they hiding? I mean, why if you're a donor, if you want to give money to the Clinton Foundation, why do you give it to a Canadian Entity, which assures you of privacy, why not just give it to the Clinton Foundation and let them post it on their website? And by the way, it was founded, the Clinton Foundation was founded by Bill right after his term ended. I was against his impeachment and still am because I don't think you should be impeached for sexual misconduct. It's just bad behavior but it's not an impeachable offense. But right after he leaves office and admits that he lie, you know, what is a problem is when you lie under oath about the Monica Lewinsky affair and when your, you know if you or I do that we face consequences, Bill skated. Even though he's admitted, he's admitted the truth, but he chose not to. I mean think about that as a standard of public conduct. I chose to tell a lie under oath. So he had to surrender his law license, because of that, but he didn't face criminal prosecutions. But he starts his foundation in 2001 and they don't start revealing any donors until 2008. And now they're like, oh we are so transparent and wonderful, but it was seven years under pressure from outside parties before they even admitted or you know publicly disclosed their donors. This is a foundation that has a long record of opaqueness and dishonesty, and now they're claiming, oh we just submitted years of returns because there were some mistakes and we're expected to believe them? I mean, you know there, Donna Shalala is the, there are all these Clinton Cronies who are making money, being paid by the Clinton Foundation and you know we're just supposed to take them at their word? I mean please. I believe they're going to be held accountable ultimately for the foundation. The conduct is so outrageous.
