Australian diplomat whose tip prompted FBI’s Russia-probe has tie to Clintons
The Australian diplomat whose tip in 2016 prompted the Russia-Trump investigation previously arranged one of the largest foreign donations to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s charitable efforts, documents show.
Former Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer’s role in securing $25 million in aid from his country to help the Clinton Foundation fight AIDS is chronicled in decade-old government memos archived on the Australian foreign ministry’s website.
Downer and former President Clinton jointly signed a Memorandum of Understanding in February 2006 that spread out the grant money over four years for a project to provide screening and drug treatment to AIDS patients in Asia.
The money was initially allocated to the Clinton Foundation but later was routed through an affiliate of the charity known as the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), officials said. Australia was one of four foreign governments to donate more than $25 million to CHAI, records show.
In the years that followed, the project won praise for helping thousands of HIV-infected patients in Papua New Guinea, Vietnam, China and Indonesia, but also garnered criticism from auditors about “management weaknesses” and inadequate budget oversight, the memos show.
Downer, now Australia’s ambassador to London, provided the account of a conversation with Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos at a London bar in 2016 that became the official reason the FBI opened the Russia counterintelligence probe.
But lawmakers say the FBI didn’t tell Congress about Downer’s prior connection to the Clinton Foundation. Republicans say they are concerned the new information means nearly all of the early evidence the FBI used to justify its election-year probe of Trump came from sources supportive of the Clintons, including the controversial Steele dossier.
“The Clintons’ tentacles go everywhere. So, that’s why it’s important,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) chairman of a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee that has been taking an increasingly visible role defending the Trump administration in the Russia probe. “We continue to get new information every week it seems that sort of underscores the fact that the FBI hasn’t been square with us.”
Spokesman for the FBI and Russia special counsel Robert Mueller declined comment.
The Australian Foreign Ministry says the Clinton grant was handled like all its other $2 billion annual foreign aid awards, and it ultimately helped thousands in Asia gain access to antiretroviral AIDS medications.
Democrats accuse the GOP of overreaching, saying Downer’s role in trying to help the Clinton Foundation fight AIDS shouldn’t be used to question his assistance to the FBI.
“The effort to attack the FBI and DOJ as a way of defending the President continues,” said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence panel. “Not content to disparage our British allies and one of their former intelligence officers, the majority now seeks to defame our Australian partners as a way of undermining the Russia probe. It will not succeed, but may do lasting damage to our institutions and allies in the process.”
Nick Merrill, Hillary Clinton’s spokesman, said any effort to connect the 2006 grant with the current Russia investigation was “laughable.”
Craig Minassian, a spokesman for the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, said the focus should be on the foundation’s success helping tens of thousands of AIDS patients.
Not so quietly.
She gave $90 m of taxpayer money to that fucking pop music slut Rihanna because of a tweet. Ri is tied into the CF, which we, as a nation have given literally 100's of millions to since good 'ol Kevin 07. Makes me sick.
His daughter is currently trying to get elected.
And a weird cult owns ( or at least did) his ancestral mansion in South Aus.
Sorry for not posting links, gotta go have me tea.
Not going to disagree about NK being a criminal.
However, whether you like it or not, Kelly has become an easily identified symbol of resistance.
30 years ago, that symbol wasn't necessarily tied to bogan identity.
I'm no good at making memes, so feel free to have a go at it yourself instead of bagging NK.
Great work with Lalor, anon. Hell of a good symbol of resistance - wish I had though of it myself. Keep up the good work.

Yeah anon that would be okay, but I don't know how much interest there is?
Individual ministers would also be worth digging - who argued for electricity privatisation, health insurance mandates, pokie rules,mine approvals, etc.
When i was a kid I read some of the Bob Bottom books which had a real good history of corruption laid out. It has just continued unabated until present day…
Whole system is rotten to the stinking core.
I'm keen to dig if someone points me in the right direction, but more importantly shows me there is a group in this country that care about the problem…
And I agree, fuck them mexican faggots. Only worse cunts come from Adelaide, amirite?
Kek.

Benjamin Netanyahu: Israeli police recommend charging Prime Minister over alleged bribery
Police investigating Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have recommended to Israel's Attorney-General that he be charged with bribery in two cases.
Mr Netanyahu, who denies wrongdoing, has been questioned several times since the start of 2017.
One of the two cases involves the receipt of gifts from businessmen, and the other is related to conversations Mr Netanyahu is alleged to have held with an Israeli newspaper publisher about limiting competition in the news sector in exchange for more positive coverage.
Australian billionaire James Packer is among those mentioned in one of the cases.
