The Hillary Clinton Scandal
The latest release of Hillary Clinton’s personal emails shines a new light on an old scandal that has received far to little press coverage over the years.

More than 6 years after the January 2010 Earthquake, there is little to show for the two Billion Dollars that have been poured into “reconstructing” Haiti, most of the money having disappeared into fraud and corruption scams closely associated with the Clinton Foundation.

According to the nonpartisan Washington watchdog Judicial Watch, the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund collected huge sums of donation of $34 million and $54.4 million, respectively. Congress also approved $1.4 BILLION of taxpayers’ money to help Haiti bounce back from the earthquake.

Even with their daughters pleas, nothing has changed over the years and in fact they only grew worse according to newspaper reports.

In 2015, the Washington Post reported that there was "a growing backlash that too little has been accomplished in the past five years and that some of the most high-profile projects" backed by the Clinton Foundation "have helped foreign investors and Haiti's wealthy elites more than its poor."

Marking the 5th anniversary of the disaster, a group of Haitians surrounded the New York offices of the Clinton Foundation. They chanted slogans, accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton of having robbed them of “billions of dollars.”

A few months later in May of 2015, when Bill Clinton was receiving an award and collecting a $500,000 check for his foundation. Haitian protesters gathered outside with signs that read “Clinton, where’s the money?”

“In whose pockets?” Said Dhoud Andre of the Commission Against Dictatorship, “We are telling the world of the crimes that Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for in

The question of why a Earthquake ravaged nation would need a brand new hotel is anyones guess.
Hillary Clinton’s brother Hugh Rodham put in an application for $22 million from the Clinton Foundation to build homes on ten thousand acres of land that he said “Some guy in Haiti” had “donated” to him.
Haiti awarded two new gold mining permits to Clinton foundation Pay-for-play friends and one of them hired Hillary’s brother. Strange that a mining company hired him since his resume lists no mining experience at all. The Hatian goverment upon finding out that Hillary's brother was hired to be on the board of one of the companies has placed the permits on hold until an investigation is completed... Or the Clintons pay off the right people.
The Clintons got their pay-for-play friends to build Caracol Industrial Park, a 600-acre garment factory that was supposed to make clothes for export to the United States and create — according to Bill Clinton — 100,000 new jobs in Haiti. 5 years later the park has only created 5,000. Today, on the Clinton Foundation website it now says "This park COULD provide up to 60,000

    President-elect Donald J. Trump’s real estate school, Trump University, was facing three lawsuits about the quality of education and business practices of the university. Students complained that they were swindled out of thousands of dollars in tuition and that the education they received was not up to par with the university’s claims (Eder). Mr. Trump’s school operated from 2004 to 2010 and offered a wide variety of packages that students could purchase after the free introductory seminar (Eder). These packages were priced up to $35,000 (Eder). The school faced much criticism, from Trump’s level of involvement in the classes to managers of the school saying that it was “a fraudulent scheme” (Cassidy). In addition, the school was penalized for violating state education laws in New York (Eder). Trump’s defense included information from the website 98percentapproval.com, which claimed that students were overwhelmingly satisfied with the quality of the programs, when in fact, these students were pressured into giving the school positive reviews despite their dissatisfaction with the program (Cassidy). Mr. Trump also made remarks about the judge overseeing the California lawsuits, implying that he is not impartial because of his Mexican heritage (Eder). One of the federal class-action lawsuits in San Diego was 10 days from being presented in front of a jury when Trump agreed to pay a settlement (Eder). The two California lawsuits were to be paid $21 million, and the New York attorney general lawsuit was to be paid $4 million (Eder). As a result…

    Haiti has a lot of its own special quirks and downfall. Like the U.S one of the special quirks is population. Haiti has a population 9,801,664 people as of June 2012. That is pretty miniscule compared to the U.S.A.’s population. Next is Haiti’s literacy rate which is 52.9%. I think that is because of the recent earthquake and all of the destruction that it caused making the buildings crumble and making less educational establishments in Haiti. Finally the Haitian currency is Haitian gourdes. Compared to the U.S. dollar it is extremely small amount of money. That is what the island country has to offer and what the U.S. can’t.…
