Notes and quotes from Tom Fitton's Congressional testimony on Clinton Foundation 12-13-18

[Introduces Judicial Watch and their ongoing concerns about the Clinton Foundation.]

JD also had concerns about HRC becoming SOS.

She agreed not to participate in any matter in which CF were a party or represented a party. Also agreed that all matters that might involve such a conflict would undergo a State Dept ethics review, especially those concerning foreign governments.

JD had "zero confidence" that these promises would be kept and began monitoring the process. Filed a FOIA in 2011 to see how that process was being implemented; this was ignored, so they filed suit and found in 2013 that Bill Clinton gave 215 speeches earning $48mil during the time that HRC was SOS; none were deemed a conflict of interest. The State Dept approved speeches in many different countries, includes China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. Egypt,UAE, Panama, Turkey, Taiwan, India, Cayman Islands and other countries. These approvals were routinely copied to Cheryl Mills, who had helped negotiate the ethics process; her involvement raised conflict-of-interest issues.

Documents showed that Bill Clinton recieved between $18mil-50mil just from Saudi companies. He also earned $600,000 for two speeches given in Saudi Arabia….so this ethics process was no more than a rubber stamp hat allowed him to receive money from foreign companies that were too often controlled by their governments. For example, Clinton was approved to give a speech for Renaissance Capital, which was linked to Russian government and Uranium One. "Approved without comment."

"And then, we found the Clinton e-mail server"

JD FOIAs & lawsuits forced State Dept to admit they have new emails they hadn't revealed. Human Abedin also used this server, who needed it to conduct the Clinton's personal and familiy business. Later, JD found out that CF was in contact with Abedin and others in the State Dept to get special favors and treatment for CF friends and allies….

"So you can see that the Clinton Foundation and Clinton State Dept almost immediately broke promises to the Obama and the Senate to maintain a wall of separation between the Foundation and the State. We have numerous instances of pay-to-play and favoritism for Clinton Foundation supporters with the Clinton State Dept…."

"Many have noted that it was hard to tell where the Clinton State Dept ended and where the Clinton State department began"….

And then there's the Uranium One controversy…There were monies funnelled into the Cinton Foundation in 2010…and these monies were hidden from the American people. The Foundation promised to disclose these monies: $31.3mil was given to the CF around the beginning of 2008….

Both the NYT has reported that Uranium One's chairman used his family's foundation to make four undisclosed donations totalling $2.35mil to the Clinton Foundation. None of this was disclosed. Shortly after the Russian's disclosed their intention to acquire a stake in Uranium One, Bill Clinton received $500,000 for the speech fee from Renaissance Capital he gave in Moscow.

JW is still trying to get docs from Uranium One. It has not yet been successful.

"But there's enough evidence to warrant serious investigations of the Clinton Foundation. And there is evidence that …the investigations that may have been taking place during the Obama administration were suppressed by the Justice Dept. So frankly it's not surprise that the Justice Dept. is not here today. I look forward to your questions today."

Wikipedia: under Yéle Haiti

The 2010 Haiti earthquake devastated the island and its capital Port-au-Prince. According to Jean, Yéle raised more than $1 million in 24 hours using a plea on Twitter.[3] His foundation raised additional funds after Jean took part in an MTV donation drive and other publicity efforts to benefit survivors of the earthquake.[4] Together with actor and producer George Clooney, Jean organized the "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon. The most watched telethon to date in history, it aired on almost every network and many cable channels.[5] Jean appeared as the last performer on the telethon, singing a medley that ended with Haiti's traditional Rara music.[5]

Columbia Law Partners With George and Amal Clooney on Human Rights Initiative

https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2018/12/05/columbia-law-partners-with-george-and-amal-clooney-on-human-rights-initiative/

Columbia law students are set to help monitor trials around the globe with an eye to human rights violations, thanks some Hollywood backing.

The Clooney Foundation for Justice—established by noted human rights lawyer Amal Clooney and her movie star spouse George—is partnering with Columbia Law’s Human Rights Clinic and the American Bar Association to launch an initiative in 2019 dubbed TrialWatch.

The project aims to monitor trials across the globe that pose a high risk of running afoul of human rights protections, gather information about compliance with fair trial standards, and advocate for adoption of those standards. Eventually, the project will create a global justice index, rating countries on the fairness of their trial system.

“Today, courts all over the world are used as tools of oppression,” said Amal Clooney in a statement announcing the initiative Wednesday. “Governments get away too easily with imprisoning opposition figures, silencing critics, and persecuting vulnerable groups through the courts. Trial monitoring will shine a light on these abuses and enable us to fight injustice when we see it.”

TrialWatch will train a cadre of lawyers and non-lawyers to monitor trials, recording their observations with special technology. Then legal experts will analyze that data and grade trails based on their compliance with human rights standards. Finally, TrialWatch will raise awareness and generate support for defendants whose rights have been violated, according to the announcement of the project.

Monitors will focus their efforts on trials dealing with vulnerable populations, attempts to silence speech or political opponents.

“We are honored to partner with the Clooney Foundation on a bold initiative designed to foster fairness and transparency around the world—and ultimately to reform the administration of justice,” said Columbia Law Dean Gillian Lester.

The foundation’s partnership with Columbia is a natural one. Amal Clooney has taught as a visiting professor and fellow in the school’s Human Rights Institute since 2015. The law school’s Human Rights Clinic will help train and mobilize trial monitors and research how to put the data collected by trial monitors to its best use. It will also help develop the global justice index.

The American Bar Association will help recruit volunteer attorneys to serve as trial monitors.

“A fair legal process is essential to court systems that deliver justice,” said ABA President Bob Carlson. “The American Bar Association is proud to unite with the Clooney Foundation for Justice and TrialWatch to help institutionalize trial monitoring and bring more watchful eyes to the world’s courtrooms.”
