Clinton Aide to Podesta on 'Foreign Govt Donors': 'All the Money Is In'


The hits from WikiLeaks just keep on coming. The latest revelation to emerge is that one of Bill Clinton's personal aides – his personal chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, for that matter – told Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta in an email that “all” the donations from “foreign governments” were in and tallied.


Flourney's exact words?


They went like this: “Foreign govt donors: all the money is in.” The subject line of the email was “endowment.”


Breitbart has the details:


“The endowment Flournoy references is apparently the Clinton Foundation's fund set up to help financially sustain the global charity, should Hillary Clinton win the White House in November.


“Flournoy's email to Podesta coincided with news reports about the origin of the Clinton Foundation's quarter billion dollar endowment - but proceeded the widespread scrutiny of the Foundation's acceptance of contributions from foreign countries with business before the U.S. government while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, as first reported in Clinton Cash.


“What's more, Flournoy's 'foreign government donors' email predates Clinton Cash's proven revelations about how Hillary Clinton repeatedly broke her promise to the Obama administration that she would disclose all of the Clnton Foundation's funding sources.”


And just how profitable did the Clinton Foundation's endowment plan prove to be?


Politico reported the foundation's coffers grew from roughly $20 million to $250 million shortly after Clinton left her State Department post in early 2013.


Breitbart goes on:


“A key reason for the rapid growth of the Clinton Foundation's $250 million endowment was the charity's former chief development officer, Dennis Cheng.


“After joining the Clinton Foundation in 2011, Cheng, according to the organization's spokesman, “led our efforts to secure the Foundation's future by raising a $248 million endowment.


“Many of the contributions that make up the Clinton Foundation's $250 million endowment came from foreign governments. According to the Wall Street Journal, “The Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Oman donations,” which range from $12 to $35 million, 'qent to the endowment drive.'


“Cheng left the Clinton Foundation in 2015 to become the national finance director for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.”
