Clinton Foundation and Southern District of New York
From its inception in 2005 through 2009, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) had already raised $46 billion for 1,200 philanthropic projects that were said to have impacted an estimated 200 million people in 150 countries. [4]
Actually the Clinton Foundation has morphed since its inception and gone through several name changes, and created a great number of related entities. Its original purpose was to fund and endow the Clinton Presidential Library. Its tax returns indicate a gradual change in purpose that never received IRS approval. The "charity" has been acting outside the scope of its legal charter for years. [14]
Jeffrey Epstein
"Attorneys for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein touted his close friendship with Bill Clinton and even claimed the billionaire helped start Clinton's controversial family foundation in a 2007 letter aimed at boosting his image during plea negotiations." [2] In the letter from Epsteinβs lawyers (Alan Dershowitz and Gerald Lefcourt) to the U.S. Attorneyβs office in the Southern District of Florida, Epstein claimed to be part of the original group that conceived the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). CGI was renamed the "Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation" in 2013. The letter aimed to boost Epsteinβs image and may have contributed to his successful plea bargain on the charge of using underage girls in a sex ring. The letter says Epstein hosted Bill Clinton on a 1-month trip to Africa regarding the AIDS crisis. [1] Whether Epstein was an actual founder of the foundation or exaggerated his role in a phony effort to appear altruistic is not clear. He is not cited in official paperwork filed by the Clinton Global Initiative as a founder or director. Bill Clinton publicly credited longtime assistant Doug Band as conceiving of the idea. [2]
Others CF Donors of Note
The Panama Papers revealed some major Clinton financial partners using Panamian law firm Mossack Fonseca to move assets around the world surreptitiously. Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra donated over $25M. The Chagoury family of Nigeria committed $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative. [3]
Offshore entities were involved in the uranium deal that resulted in Russian ownership of 20% of American uranium production. Frank Giustra used Mossack Fonseca to create UrAsia Energy, which acquired lucrative uranium concessions in Kazakhstan with the help of Bill Clinton in 2005. UrAsia Energy eventually became Uranium One, which acquired uranium assets in the U.S. and then was sold to the Russian State Nuclear Agency (ROSATOM) in 2010. The deal required approval from Hillary Clintonβs State Department. Nine Uranium One shareholders sent a combined $145M to the Clinton Foundation, including a single contribution of over $2M by CEO Ian Telfer. Why did the Clinton Foundation neglect to report some of those contributions? They were first uncovered using Canadian tax records by the authors of Clinton Cash. [3]
Sergei Kurzin, a Russian mining investor involved in Uranium One, says he donated $1M to Clinton Foundation. He also used Mossack Fonseca; his name appears on several oil companies set up by the firm.
Mossack Fonseca helped Ronald Chagoury set up a firm called Echo Art Ltd. domiciled in the British Virgin Islands. Gilbert Chagouryβs plans for the future include tying up the best of African industry to the resource needs of China, India and Latin America. This family moved to Nigeria but the came from Lebanon. [15] Among other business interestsm they deal in Transportation. Chagoury Group is a Nigerian multinational business conglomerate headquartered in Lagos. Founded in 1971 by Gilbert R. Chagoury and Ronald Chagoury, their businesses include construction and property development, flour mills, water bottling and purification, glass manufacturing, insurance, hotels, furniture manufacturing, telecommunications, transportation, IT, catering and international financing. [16]
Two years earlier in 2014, a whistleblower released the names of super-rich individuals with Swiss accounts at HSBC. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists then documented transfers of $81M from these accounts to The Clinton Foundation. They revealed that Swiss accounts were held by numerous Clinton donors. Jeffrey Epstein had various accounts totaling $3.5M; in 2006 Epstein gave $25,000 to The Clinton Foundation. [2]
Note that Epstein was a money-manager. He managed other people's money. (It's not clear why people gave him money to manage.) Did Epstein arrange the use of secret Swiss accounts for his clients?
British retail magnate Richard Caring gave the Clinton Foundation $1M from his HSBC Swiss account in 2005. He donated shortly after Bill Clinton attended his charity ball dressed as a Russian general. [add material from 7]
Frank Giustra's HSBC account held up to $10M in 2006-2007. His first contributions to the Clinton Foundation were in 2005. [3]
American entrepreneur Eli Broad, a $1M+ contributor to the Clinton Foundation, held accounts at HSBC.
Denise Rich, ex-wife of financier and one-time international fugitive Marc Rich, who was pardoned by President Bill Clinton on his last day in office, has contributed up to $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation. [3]
Other major CF donors included Michael Schumacher (a racing driver seriously injured in 2013 skiing accident) and French financier Arpad Busson.
Swiss bank accounts are not necessarily illegal. However, firms such as Fonseca offer services to minimize tax burdens and keep assets hidden.
Bill Clinton - Frequent Flyer on the Lolita Express
Epstein's flight logs show that BIll Clinton was a frequent flyer on Epstein's private jet dubbed the "Lolita Express". At least 26 flights are documented. [2]
On the first Asia trip, logs show Clinton and Epstein were joined by top Clinton aide Doug Band, wealthy socialite and Epstein's madame Ghislaine Maxwell, former Epstein assistant Sarah Kellen, women listed only as βJaniceβ and βJessica," and a few others.
Band, Maxwell, and Kellen joined many of the trips that Clinton and Epstein took around the world.
No Secret Service agents were present on Clintonβs trip with Epstein to Africa in September-October 2002. Records show they were joined by actor Kevin Spacey and comedian Chris Tucker.

US Attorneys for SDNY
β Insert SDNY US Attorneys.txt or insert graphic
As the top prosecutorial role in each federal court district, the U.S. Attorney is in a unique position to view evidence collected across many federal investigations and to supervise staff prosecutors. They can direct DoJ resources to investigate and prosecute, or decline prosecution. The individual in this role - if corrupt - could theoretically protect criminals and help to conceal crimes.
Geoffrey Berman was appointed to the post of U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) in ______ by then-attorney-general Jeff Sessions. During his tenure Berman oversaw cases ranging from the insane persecution of Trump (re: tax returns), to the NXVIM sex-and-branding-cult, Epstein, Clinton Foundation, child rape, kidnapping, abuse, and murder. Did any potential defendants benefit from Berman's SDNY role?
Attorney General William Barr fired Berman on June 19, 2020. Berman refused to leave, stating that he would stay in office until a senate-confirmed replacement. However Barr told Berman he was dismissed by order of President Trump, and Berman stood down.
With the Berman roadblock removed, will the SDNY remain a Deep State stronghold or will there now be an opportunity to shine light on what some observers consider a nest of vipers?
Doug Band and Teneo
Insert image captioned Doug Band, counselor to President Bill Clinton, photographed standing behind North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il [4] [5]
In 1995, at the age of 22, Band began to work as an unpaid intern in Bill Clinton's White House, eventually becoming Clintonβs "body man", and he continued to work with the former President as he set up the Clinton Foundation. [5]
Band later worked for the William J. Clinton Foundation, and traveled to North Korea to orchestrate the release of two Americans and to Cuba to help secure the release of American Alan Gross. [6]
Band negotiated with the Obama Administration to appoint then-Senator Hillary Clinton to become Secretary of State. [6]
Interestingly, Band had a key ally on Hillaryβs team: Huma Abedin. Billβs body man and Hillaryβs body woman had bonded over their loyalty to their bosses. They were known to show up at parties together, which some saw as an endearing big brotherβlittle sister dynamic, and which others interpreted as evidence that Abedin had a crush on Band. They also had an ingenious method of collecting intelligence on each otherβs behalf. Abedin would sidle up to someone in Billβs camp and, in a confiding tone, make a disparaging remark about Band. If it was reciprocated, she would relay the criticisms to Band and he would do the same for her, says someone who fell for this technique. βThey had each otherβs back a lot,β says the former White House colleague. [8]
Band founded his consultancy, Teneo, in 2011. Teneo's clients overlapped with the Clinton Foundation's donors. [5] Teneo is headquartered on the 45th floor of the former Citigroup Center tower in Midtown Manhattan. It employs more than 200 people in 13 cities, including Dubai, Hong Kong, and SΓ£o Paolo. From the beginning, Teneo resembled an outpost of Clintonland more than an independent entity. Clinton and Blair came on as paid advisers. [8]
In 2012 (check date), Abedin signed on with the firm to provide βstrategic advice and consulting services to the firmβs management teamβ and helped to βorganize a major annual firm event.β (The Senate Judiciary Committee investigated whether Abedin's work for Teneo conflicted with her position as a paid State Department consultant.) [8]
A number of key Teneo clients were also closely involved with Clintonβs charitable work. One month before the Rockefeller Foundation presented Clinton with an award for philanthropy, it gave Teneo a $3.4 million contract to propose βtangible solutions to global problems.β [8]
In November 2011 emails, Chelsea Clinton accused Band and Teneo of giving their clients free memberships to the Clinton Global Initiative and βhustling businessβ at the conference. Band denied it, saying he persuaded Teneo clients to donate money to Bill Clintonβs charity projects, to hire Clinton for corporate speeches, and to serve on boards of directors. Band said he's raised $8M for the Clinton Foundation this way, and that his efforts to date had brought Clinton over $30M now and would bring him $60M over the next decade. He cited a for-profit university, Laureate, that paid Clinton $3.5M to serve as its βhonorary chairman.β He listed Teneo's courtship of of the Coca-Cola CEO, Muhtar Kent. Band's partner Declan Kelly brought Kent to Clintonβs home in 2009 and persuaded him to make $4M corporate donations to CF. Oddly, Kent's name later turned up on a list of 39 potential VP that John Podesta sent to Hillary Clinton. [5]
More about James Comey
James Comey served on the board of banking giant HSBC (βinternational drug money clearing houseβ) before parachuting softly into the head of the FBI in 2013. Comey had a long history of handling cases ending favorably to the Clintons, including the case of Sandy Berger, a former Clinton Administration aide. During the Berger probe, Comey said publicly that βwe take issues of classified information very seriouslyβ, all the while seeming to undermine the scope of the investigation β presumably to protect the Clintons.
