Clinton Foundation hit with racketeering lawsuit

 
 Clinton Foundation hit with racketeering lawsuit . . . "The racketeering, influenced and corrupt organizations, or RICO, case alleges the former first couple and their family philanthropy traded political favors for donations or generous speaking fees for Bill Clinton while his wife was the nation's chief diplomat.

" 'Negotiations by email about influencing U.S. foreign policy or U.S. Government actions to benefit donors to ... The Clinton Foundation or sponsors of speaking engagements would not be captured on a U.S. Government email account because her emails would not be with a U.S. Government official," Klayman said in court documents obtained by the Washington Examiner." . . .

Richard Larsen   . . . "Considering the nature of the charges against FIFA, it seems only logical to wonder if, or when, such charges will be levied against Bill and Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation.
 Wonder what FIFA got for their contribution to the Clinton Foundation

The graft is alleged to have influenced World Cup host nation selection, marketing rights for sports marketing companies, and broadcast rights for television coverage of FIFA events.
 
"Prima facie, it doesn’t appear that FIFA did anything more legally dubious than did the Clinton Foundation. ' . . .
 
Soon Hillary will have even more reason to hate the press   "Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is widely believed to have a strong dislike for the national media, though there is no clear reason why. Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan thinks she knows the answer.

"In an op-ed on Thursday, Noonan said Clinton, when she was first lady, didn't initially grasp that just because reporters are generally liberal, that doesn't mean they're on her side."
