The Clintons' Little Tin Box

Clarice Feldman / American Thinker

This week seems to spell the beginning of the end for Hillary’s campaign and two show tunes keep popping into my head unbidden: “Little Tin Box” from the musical Fiorello and “How Long Has this Been Going on?”

Every five minutes it seems the scandal deepens as it is beyond question that the Clinton family (including new to the game Chelsea) have been using their tax-exempt charity the Clinton Foundation to enrich themselves, expand their power, and sell out U.S. interests. The only questions remaining are when will she drop out of the race and can we expect a thorough investigation of the Foundation with appropriate consequence ,

In the song “A Little Tin Box”, the corrupt politicians sing where they kept the bribes paid to them:

Into a little tin box,

A little tin box

That a little tin key unlocks.

There is nothing unorthodox

About a little tin box.

In a little tin box,

A little tin box

There’s a cushion for life’s rude shocks.

There is faith, hope and charity,

Hard-won prosperity,

In a little tin box.

And here’s what we learned went into the Clinton Foundation’s “Little Tin Box”

1.) Millions from a Russian named Pinchuk, who trades with Iran:

Victor Pinchuk is a businessman active in Ukraine who owns the EastOne Group investing company and the Interpipe Group, Ukraine’s biggest pipe manufacturer. He is the second richest man in Ukraine and is heavily involved in politics as a former member of parliament who is also married to the daughter of a former Ukrainian president. He is also the largest individual donor to the Clinton Foundation.

And not just the Foundation, but also the spinoff Clinton Global Initiative received millions from Pinchuk while Hillary was Secretary of State. He should have but was never sanctioned for these trades.

2.) Millions from Russians who sought and obtained the rights to 20% of U.S. uranium resources: 

Uranium likely to find its way to Iran. Hillary approved the sale while secretary of state:

Hillary Clinton’s State Department was part of a panel that approved the sale of one of America’s largest uranium mines at the same time a foundation controlled by the seller’s chairman was making donations to a Clinton family charity, records reviewed by the Wall Street Journal show.

The $610 million sale of 51% of Uranium One to a unit of Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear agency, was approved in 2010 by a U.S. federal committee that assesses the security implications of foreign investments. The State Department, which Mrs. Clinton then ran, is one of its members.

Between 2008 and 2012, the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative, a project of the Clinton Foundation, received $2.35 million from the Fernwood Foundation, a family charity run by Ian Telfer, chairman of Uranium One before its sale, according to Canada Revenue Agency records. 

These contributions were not publicly disclosed.

3.) Millions were paid  to Bill Clinton for speeches by big Foundation donors  while Hillary served as secretary of state, aspects of which were not made clear by the foundation’s public filings. These payments raise numerous conflict of interest issues as do the millions paid directly to the Foundation by foreigners and foreign governments.
