Clinton Foundation Operated “to advance the personal interests of its principals”

The latest from Sara Carter, which, oddly enough, didn’t make it onto the evening news:

The Clinton Foundation operated as a foreign agent ‘early in its life’ and ‘throughout it’s existence’ and did not operate as a 501c3 charitable foundation as required by its and is not entitled to its status as a nonprofit, alleged two highly qualified forensic investigators, accompanied by three other investigators, said in explosive testimony Thursday to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

John Moynihan and Lawrence W. Doyle, both graduates of the Catholic Jesuit College of the Holy Cross and former expert forensic government investigators, gave their shocking testimony before congress based on a nearly two year investigation into the foundation’s work both nationally and internationally. They were assisted by three other highly trained experts in taxation law and financial forensic investigations. The forensic investigators stressed that they obtained all the documentation on the foundation legally and through Freedom of Information Request Acts from the IRS and other agencies.

Former Utah U.S. Attorney John Huber, who resigned when he was appointed by former Department of Justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate the Clinton Foundation and the issues surrounding the approval to sell 20 percent of U.S. Uranium assets to Russia, declined to attend the hearing. Chairman Mark Meadows, R-NC, who oversaw the hearing stated that it was disappointment that Huber declined, leaving Congress in the dark regarding the DOJ’s investigation.

Investigations into the Clinton Foundation have always been plagued by politics but Moynihan wanted to make clear in his opening statement that this investigation was one of many his firm has conducted on nonprofits and had nothing to do with politics. 

Doyle and Moynihan have amassed 6,000 documents in their nearly two-year investigation through their private firm MDA Analytics LLC. The documents were turned over more than a year and a half ago to the IRS, according to John Solomon, who first published the report last week in The Hill.  

“The investigation clearly demonstrates that the foundation was not a charitable organization per se, but in point of fact was a closely held family partnership,” said Doyle, who formerly worked on Wall Street and has been involved with finance for the last ten years conducting investigations. “As such it was governed in a fashion in which it sought in large measure to advance the personal interests of its principals as detailed within the financial analysis of this submission and further confirmed within the supporting documentation and evidence section.”

At the onset of the hearing, Moynihan wanted to make perfectly clear that the intention to look into the Clinton Foundation was not political but based on their work with the firm.

“At this point I’d like to answer two questions, who are we? We are apolitical,” Moynihan told the committee. “We have no party affiliation to this whatsoever, No one has financed us… we are forensic investigators that approached this effort in a nonpartisan profession, objective, and independent way…we follow facts, that’s all.” 

“We have never been partisan,” he added, speaking on behalf of all five members of his group testifying to Congress. “We come from law enforcement and wall street where each of us has dedicated our entire lives and praised the rule of law doing the right thing pursuing facts. we follow facts. that’s all.”

“None of this is our opinion,” he went on state. “I emphasize none of this is our opinion. These are not our facts. They are not your facts. They are the facts of the Clinton Foundation.”

Sunday in the Park with Random

First off, my humblest of apologies for being such a crap correspondent the past couple of weeks. Needless to say, I have no excuse really. Well, I HAVE one, but seriously, who the heck cares?
Let’s have some random fun today. This past week has been so serious and somber – I had my tearful moments; watching George W. Bush tap his father’s casket on his way to his seat after his eulogy; the video of the “missing man” flyover. But the one that really got to me, in the subtlest of ways, was a tweet. The U.S. Secret Service announcing that the watch for “Timberwolf” had ended…..
So to brighten the mood, it’s time for some random observations no apparent relation; no apparent order.

1. Am I the only one that thinks that Bounty commercial with the kid poking Dad, who spills his drink and the older kid says “ooooooo noooooo” in slow motion is ridiculous?  I’m pretty sure she can lift the laptop out of the way in far less time than Dad can get to a paper tower, even if it IS the “Quicker Picker Upper.”

2. I love Christmas Music. I especially love Christmas music by Mannheim Steamroller. With one exception. I cannot, will not, in no uncertain terms EVER like “The Little Drummer Boy” – I don’t care who performs it; I don’t care that they did a whole half-hour cartoon special on it. I understand that makes me a heartless Christmas Nazi.  I can live with this.  It will be difficult, but I can.

3.  But this was the week I realized the game industry has reached its zenith and is now on a downward spiral.  This Christmas, among the Hungry Hungry Hippos and Operation, there’s a new addition. This is how it goes.  Spin the dial.  If a “3′ comes up, you take the plunger, plunge the toilet three times and hope that the lid opens up and a turd pops out.  Catch the turd!  You win.  The only thing that scares me more than the insane adult who thought this up is that an even more insane adult approved the prototype and had it put on the market.

George Carlin was right.  You CAN “nail together two things that have never been nailed together before and some schmuck WILL buy it from you.”

GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY!

I was 2/6 last week and now 58/104 overall $1850/$1000

This week’s only D1 game is the 119th meeting of the Service Academy’ Football teams. Army hast the upper hand this year with that power running game. Navy quit the horrible practice of recruiting football players instead of Midshipmen. They won a bunch of years in a row like that until they ceased that practice. Now both academies are back to normal.

Navy at Army 3:00 PM CBS – Army are giving the Midshipmen 7 points. This game is unpredictable and damn near un-betable. But yeah, I’ll take a flier that Army beats this spread.
