State Department 'Spotting and Assessing' Bill Clinton's contacts, emails show
2016-09-03
[Reuters] The Clinton Foundation on multiple occasions during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state asked senior U.S. government officials to vet her husband's contacts with potentially controversial international figures, according to emails released by the State Department.

The emails, reviewed by Reuters, were part of a batch of nearly 400 messages recently released by the State Department after requests from the conservative group Citizens United, a group that has long been critical of the Clintons.

The exchanges show a top foreign policy adviser to the foundation sought guidance from the State Department on former President Bill Clinton's interactions with people including Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Russian government officials and business leaders, and Gulnara Karimova, the socialite daughter of Uzbekistan’s late president.

The emails offer a glimpse of the intricate relationship between a private charity with a broad global mission and the State Department under the leadership of a secretary who is married to a former president.

Former government officials reached by Reuters said there was nothing inappropriate in the interactions of the foundation with the State Department over the potential meetings, some of which did not occur.

#3  Have we really slipped this low as a country?

It would seem that we have. I'll give a lot of credit to the complicit MSM. As a result of their efforts, nobody really knows just how bad it is.

#2  If Hillary can't remember Jack $hit about anything because of her 2012 concussion (she became SOS in 2009), maybe Bill can. Anyway, if she can't remember anything about her server, security training or briefings, drone targeting, or anything else about her stint at State, she is not fit or qualified to be POTUS. Moreover, the government should be talking about criminal charges rather than her coronation. Both her and Bill are grifters and con artists--nothing either one of them should happen to say should be believed. I wonder if anyone really give a flip about a lying disgraced ex-POTUS, a lying unindicted ex-SOS, and their criminal enterprise--it certainly doesn't seem so. Have we really slipped this low as a country?

#1  Interesting, a Non-Governmental Foundation receives US Intelligence reporting and dossiers on foreign personnel ?

One might assume similar reporting was harvested for US Persons as well. Sort of habit forming, that vetting thing, once you've enjoyed the feeds.

Foggy Bottom must have dramatically improved their human intelligence collection capabilities over the years, or were they provided outside assistance ?

Hey Felix, what project do we bill this work to ?

Answers please...Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Kerry, anyone ?
