Hillary Clinton has repeatedly managed to escape from the arms of the law,
but it appears that this time the former Democratic presidential nominee
may be brought to justice, according to Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel,
and it's not the Clinton email case or her "pay-to-play" scheme.
Hillary Clinton may find herself behind bars sooner than anyone expects;
however, it's not her private email server or much discussed "pay-to-play"
scheme that is her main Achilles’ heel.
While it seems nerdy and not as sexy as the much-discussed Clinton "death
list," the seemingly trivial discrepancies in the financial and founding
documents of the Clinton Foundation are most damning.
"Let's start from the very beginning," Charles Ortel, a Wall Street
analyst who has been investigating the alleged charity fraud for about two
years and publishes his findings on his website, says.
How It All Began
"The United States has precise rules governing how 'charities' spring into
life legally and then operate. Most charities are organized in a given US
state (or Washington, D.C.) as nonprofit corporations. After completing
this step, they frequently apply for federal tax exemption – here, they
must complete a detailed application truthfully that explains, among other
things, the specific purposes they intend to carry out," Ortel explained
in an interview with Sputnik.
"These 'purposes' must, in fact, be tax-exempt in line with statutory
provisions that define which purposes serve the public, and which may
not," he stressed.
"The William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation, Inc. is somewhat
different in that it was organized to comply with the Presidential
Libraries Act of 1955, as later amended, to house 'Presidential Records'
(this is a statutorily defined term that means items created or received
during Bill Clinton's presidential terms that ran from January 20, 1993,
through January 20, 2001), to operate a research facility for those who
wish to study these records, and to raise a capital endowment," Ortel
clarified.
In addition, to operate a charity lawfully across the US or the whole
world, one must comply with solicitation requirements in each of our 50
states and in certain other jurisdictions, which require charities to
register and report before raising funds.
The analyst underscored that many states and places levy taxes on
charities and their potential donors, who are not exempt unless state and
local registrations are completed truthfully.
"Long before 2002, when Bill Clinton, Ira Magaziner and others illegally
began soliciting funds, allegedly to 'fight HIV/AIDS internationally,' the
original Clinton Foundation failed to register truthfully in numerous
states and localities. In addition, the Clinton Foundation filed raise and
materially misleading federal tax forms concerning the status of their
state and local filings, and other matters," the analyst highlighted.
He emphasized that under applicable rules a "charity" must be organized
lawfully and then operated lawfully at all times thereafter.
"So, material defects in public filings for the Clinton Foundation – which
was founded on October 23, 1997, in Arkansas – began long before 2002, and
have escalated right to the present," Ortel told Sputnik.
Audit Problems
Yet another problem brought to light by the analyst is that the Clintons'
charity has never been audited in full compliance with the law.
Thus, from December 31, 1997, through December 31, 2009, the Clinton
Foundation attempted to pass off accounting work performed by a firm
called "BKD, LLP" as "audits," Ortel recalled, stressing that BKD couldn't
be considered "independent" since it had certain ties to the charity.
"Afterwards, from December 31, 2009, forward, no purported 'audit'
prepared by any accounting firm for any part of the Clinton Foundation
opens with a formal 'audit' of the starting position on December 31, 2009.
This may be because no part of the Clinton Foundation was lawfully
organized by December 2009," Ortel pointed out and added that, in his
opinion, "the financial statements put into the public domain by Clinton
Foundation trustees define reckless misconduct and seem actionable to me,
on many levels."
Indeed, the charity's financial documents contain suspicious gaps and
omissions.
Commenting on the foundation's international activities, Ortel noted that
what is missing is "granular information required on the local currency
results of the Clinton Foundation and currency translation rates into US
dollars for each of these foreign operations."
"Also missing is proof that each of these foreign operations was
registered lawfully in any foreign nation where the Clinton Foundation
operated or solicited donations," he highlighted.
What Lies at the Root of the Gaps and Omissions in the Documents
The question then arises what lay behind these obvious discrepancies and
negligence.
Is it ignorance of the law on the part of the Clintons? Unlikely.
According to the analyst, one could not exclude that these discrepancies
point to potential fraud and mismanagement of funds.
For example, back in 2015, Charles Ortel exposed the scheme, which was
potentially used by the Clinton Foundation to defraud air travelers within
the framework of the charity's HIV/AIDS initiative. According to the
analyst, the Clintons could have defrauded an unsuspecting international
public of hundreds of millions of dollars for personal gain.
This is big, the analyst notes, calling attention to the fact that "the
penalties under the US state and federal law for charity fraud,
particularly involving disaster relief, are incredibly stiff."
One of the shining examples is Rep. Corrine Brown's case: the 69-year-old
Democrat has been recently indicted for a $800,000 charity fraud including
mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, obstruction and filing of false tax
returns. She is facing decades in jail.
"Normally, the IRS and Department of Justice look at the public filings to
determine how much 'private benefit' may have been generated through the
operation of a supposed 'charity' – this test is performed on a
'collective' basis. In other cases, a collective private benefit of $1,000
or more has been held to be disqualifying," the analyst explained.
What Prevents IRS, FBI From Catching the Clintons Red-Handed
So, what prevented the IRS and FBI from catching the Clintons given their
suspicious charity record?
"Normally, the IRS holds enormous power when it chooses to investigate a
charity whose public filings seem suspect," Ortel noted, adding that,
similarly, the FBI has enough sophisticated resources to "scan" a charity.
There were reports that the Clinton Foundation had been investigated by
the IRS and FBI but, surprisingly, these inquiries have not borne any
fruit.
"The first investigation of the Clinton Foundation that I find mentioned
in the public domain was conducted by the FBI from 2001 through 2005. …
During this time, two gentlemen now in the news were involved: James Comey
was US attorney and then deputy attorney general of the Justice
Department, while Bob Mueller was head of the FBI," Ortel said.
Maybe here is the answer to the question.
"The Clintons have had decades to insert their allies into the IRS, the
FBI and Justice, as well as into key state government positions," the
analyst noted, "So, until now, the Clintons, the Obamas and others have
been able to blunt comprehensive inquiries that likely will expose
bipartisan wrongdoing."
In this light, Donald Trump's words that former FBI Director Comey was
"the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton" acquires a new
meaning.
That also means that the Clintons charity case could become especially
explosive given the fact that so many operatives, trustees, donors,
companies and even foreign government officials could have been involved
in the suspected fraud.
How the International Community May Contribute to the Charity Probe
To tackle the issue and conclude an investigation into the Clintons'
alleged charity fraud one needs to "clean the house" first, the analyst
stressed. According to Ortel, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is the best-
qualified official to carry out this work.
Furthermore, the international community can also join the effort and
contribute to the investigation.
"I am already in contact with certain governments concerning the apparent
legal status of the Clinton Foundation and the nature/amount of sums
solicited and received by Clinton interests, supposedly for charitable
pursuits," the analyst said.
"Around the world, the Clintons claim to have operated their charities
towards noble-sounding aims. I would be most grateful to receive any
information concerning potential infractions," Ortel stressed.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the
Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.

commenters pointed out, it was the IRS, not the police, that took down
Al Capone. (I'll bet he never saw *that* coming and had no defense
against it!) By the same token, Hillary may not have covered all her
tracks either so this could conceivably work.
Then again, she's got a lot of friends (or maybe I should say
accomplices) so I'd say the odds are better than even that she'll use
some leverage to keep clear of the slammer.
