Judicial Watch Press Release In Full
New Abedin Emails Reveal Hillary Clinton State Department Gave Special Access to Top Clinton Foundation Donors
Crown Prince of Bahrain Forced to Go Through Foundation to See Clinton, after Pledging $32 Million to Clinton Global Initiative
Hollywood Executive Casey Wasserman, Slimfast Mogul Daniel Abraham, Controversial Appointee Rajiv Fernando also among Clinton Foundation Donors Granted Special Favors from Clinton State Department
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released 725 pages of new State Department documents, including previously unreleased email exchanges in which former Hillary Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin provided influential Clinton Foundation donors special, expedited access to the secretary of state. In many instances, the preferential treatment provided to donors was at the specific request of Clinton Foundation executive Douglas Band.
The new documents included 20 Hillary Clinton email exchanges not previously turned over to the State Department, bringing the known total to date to 191 of new Clinton emails (not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over to the State Department). These records further appear to contradict statements by Clinton that, “as far as she knew,” all of her government emails were turned over to the State Department.
The Abedin emails reveal that the longtime Clinton aide apparently served as a conduit between Clinton Foundation donors and Hillary Clinton while Clinton served as secretary of state. In more than a dozen email exchanges, Abedin provided expedited, direct access to Clinton for donors who had contributed from $25,000 to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation. In many instances, Clinton Foundation top executive Doug Band, who worked with the Foundation throughout Hillary Clinton’s tenure at State, coordinated closely with Abedin. In Abedin’s June deposition to Judicial Watch, she conceded that part of her job at the State Department was taking care of “Clinton family matters.”
Included among the Abedin-Band emails is an exchange revealing that when Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain requested a meeting with Secretary of State Clinton, he was forced to go through the Clinton Foundation for an appointment. Abedin advised Band that when she went through “normal channels” at State, Clinton declined to meet. After Band intervened, however, the meeting was set up within forty-eight hours. According to the Clinton Foundation website, in 2005, Salman committed to establishing the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Program (CPISP) for the Clinton Global Initiative. And by 2010, it had contributed $32 million to CGI. The Kingdom of Bahrain reportedly gave between $50,000 and $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. And Bahrain Petroleum also gave an additional $25,000 to $50,000.

Also included among the Abedin-Band emails is an exchange in which Band urged Abedin to get the Clinton State Department to intervene in order to obtain a visa for members of the Wolverhampton (UK) Football Club, one of whose members was apparently having difficulty because of a “criminal charge.” Band was acting at the behest of millionaire Hollywood sports entertainment executive and President of the Wasserman Foundation Casey Wasserman. Wasserman has donated between $5 million and $10 million to the Clinton Foundation through the Wasserman Foundation.

The Abedin emails also reveal that Slimfast tycoon S. Daniel Abraham was granted almost immediate access to then-Secretary of State Clinton, with Abedin serving as the facilitator. According to the Clinton Foundation website, Abraham, like the Wasserman Foundation, has given between $5 million and $10 million to the Clinton Foundation. The emails indicate that Abraham was granted almost immediate access to Clinton upon request:

Additional Abedin emails in which the top Clinton aide intervenes with the State Department on behalf of Clinton Foundation donors include the following:
On Friday, June 26, 2009, Clinton confidant Kevin O’Keefe wrote to Clinton saying that “Kevin Conlon is trying to set up a meeting with you and a major client.” Clinton wrote to Abedin, “Can you help deliver these for Kevin?” Abedin responded, “I’ll look into it asap” Kevin O’Keefe donated between $10,000 and $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Kevin Conlon is a Clinton presidential campaign “Hillblazer” who has raised more than $100,000 for the candidate.
On Tuesday, June 16, 2009, Ben Ringel wrote to Abedin, “I’m on shuttle w Avigdor Liberman. I called u back yesterday. I want to stop by to see hrc tonite for 10 mins.” Ringel donated between $10,000 and $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
On Monday, July 6, 2009, Maureen White wrote to Abedin, “I am going to be in DC on Thursday. Would she have any time to spare?” Abedin responded, “Yes I’ll make it work.” White donated $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
In June 2009, prominent St. Louis political power broker Joyce Aboussie exchanged a series of insistent emails with Abedin concerning Aboussie’s efforts to set up a meeting between Clinton and Peabody Energy VP Cartan Sumner. Aboussie wrote, “Huma, I need your help now to intervene please. We need this meeting with Secretary Clinton, who has been there now for nearly six months. This is, by the way, my first request. I really would appreciate your help on this. It should go without saying that the Peabody folks came to Dick [Gephardt] and I because of our relationship with the Clinton’s.” After further notes from Aboussie, Abedin responded, “We are working on it and I hope we can make something work… we have to work through the beauracracy [sic] here.” Aboussie donated between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
On Saturday, May 16, 2009, mobile communications executive and political activist Jill Iscol wrote to Clinton, “Please advise to whom I should forward Jacqueline Novogratz’s request [for a meeting with the secretary of state]. I know you know her, but honestly, she is so far ahead of the curve and brilliant I believe she could be enormously helpful to your work.” Clinton subsequently sent an email to Abedin saying, “Pls print.” Jill and husband Ken Iscol donated between $500,000 and $1 million to the Clinton Foundation. Clinton subsequently appointed Novogratz to the State Department’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board.
The newly obtained Abedin emails also contain a memorandum sent to Cheryl Mills from State Department White House liaison Laura Pena revealing that Rajiv Fernando was proposed for his controversial appointment to the sensitive International Security Advisory Board as early as June 2009. Fernando was not actually appointed until 2011, and his appointment raised a firestorm because, according to an ABC News report, “he had no obvious experience in the field.” Fernando donated $1 million to the Clinton Foundation.The Abedin emails reveal that even U2’s Bono got into the act when former Bill Clinton aide Ben Schwerin, who helped set up the Clinton Foundation, urged Abedin to help the aging rock star broadcast from the international space station. In a May 27, 2009, email with the subject line “Bono/NASA,” Schwerin wrote, “Bono wants to do linkup with the international space station on every show during the tour this year.… Any ideas? Thks.” Bono has been a donor to the Clinton Global Initiative. And in 2011, he gathered top entertainers for “A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation.” According to USA Today, “Some tickets were sold to the public for $50 to $550, and premium seats went for $1,000 to $5,000 on the Foundation website.”
“These new emails confirm that Hillary Clinton abused her office by selling favors to Clinton Foundation donors,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “There needs to be a serious, independent investigation to determine whether Clinton and others broke the law.”
This is the tenth set of records produced for Judicial Watch by the State Department from the non-state.gov email accounts of Huma Abedin. The documents were produced under a court order in a May 5, 2015, Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit against the State Department (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00684)) requiring the agency to produce “all emails of official State Department business received or sent by former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin from January 1, 2009 through February 1, 2013, using a ‘non-state’.gov email address.”
In June, Judicial Watch uncovered two batches (here and here) of new Clinton email records through court-ordered discovery. Twice in May, Judicial Watch uncovered new Clinton emails, including emails that show Clinton knew about the security risk of her BlackBerry (see here and here).
Recently, Judicial Watch released other State Department emails (one batch of 103 pages, the second of 138 pages), with newly discovered Clinton emails also going back as far as January 2009.
In March, Judicial Watch released Clinton State Department emails dating from February 2009 that also call into question her statements about her emails. Those emails contained more evidence of the battle between security officials in the State Department, National Security Agency, Clinton and her staff over attempts to obtain secure BlackBerrys.
On August 9, Judicial Watch produced a 2009 email in which Band directed Abedin and Mills to put Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire and Clinton Foundation donor Gilbert Chagoury in touch with the State Department’s “substance person” on Lebanon. Band noted that Chagoury is “key guy there [Lebanon] and to us.” Chagoury has donated between $1 million to $5 million to the Foundation, according to foundation documents. He also pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative.
Hillary Clinton has repeatedly stated that she believes that the 55,000 pages of documents she turned over to the State Department in December 2014 included all of her work-related emails. In response to a court order in other Judicial Watch litigation, she declared under penalty of perjury that she had “directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or are potentially federal records be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done.” This new email find is also at odds with her official campaign statement suggesting all “work or potentially work-related emails” were provided to the State Department.

FBI uncovers 14,900 more documents in Clinton email probe
In a statement after a hearing at the U.S. district courthouse in Washington, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said the group was pleased that Boasberg rejected the department’s proposal to begin releasing documents weekly on Oct. 14, ordering it instead to prioritize Clinton’s emails and to return to court Sept. 22 with a new plan.
“We’re pleased the court accelerated the State Department’s timing,” Fitton said. “We’re trying to work with the State Department here, but let’s be clear: They have slow-walked and stonewalled the release of these records. They’ve had many of them since July 25 ... and not one record has yet been released, and we don’t understand why that’s the case.”
(snip)
Government lawyers disclosed last week that the FBI has turned over eight computer discs of information: one including emails and attachments that were sent directly to or from Clinton, or to or from her at some point in an email chain, and were not previously turned over by her lawyers; a second with classified documents; another with emails returned by Clinton; and five containing materials from other people retrieved by the FBI.
The 14,900 documents at issue now come from the first disc, Fitton said.

I'll say it so no one else has to...
But, but, but, wasn't Band acting as a liaison to Bill Clinton rather than in his role with the Clinton Foundation? Doesn't that make it all copacetic?

Yeah. But, but, but Dougie went thru Huma for access
That don't sound too copacetic for me.
You will note that these emails are dated 2009.
This is before Huma began double/triple dipping by also working for the foundation & Teneo.

So many moving pieces...
Thanks for pointing that out!
'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member
Also note the contact between Mills and the COO of
the Clinton Foundation - 148 phone messages between 2010 and 2012. And then there is the fact that Mills is interviewing and hiring top executives at the Foundation. No sentient person cannot but see that the two entities are inextricably entwined.
David Sirota reported LAST YEAR that a number of companies who were actively lobbying the State Department were also paying millions in speaking fees to Bill. But nothing to see here folks, it's all just an incredible co-incidence. Firms Paid Bill Clinton Millions As They Lobbied Hillary Clinton
But no quid pro quo, right? As long as there's no email from Huma that says "HRC says she will look favorably on your request if you book WJC for your company picnic" or so TPTB would have you believe.
Then there's the State Department saying with a straight face that just because HRC agreed to curtail her exposure to the Foundation, that didn't mean her underlings did as well.
Consider the precedents that the Clintons are setting for behavior of elected officials. Imagine the governor of your state and their spouse behaving in exactly the same manner and your local paper covering it - would it pass the smell test in your state and your town?
We now have the "Clinton Precedent" for mishandling classified information, will we also have the "Clinton Precedent" for acceptable influence peddling while in office?

Please help with another word
Need another word - HUBRIS just not stong enough, really doesn't encompass the complete utter disregard for the LAW.
Think these people really never thought any of this would be made public. Can they be that encased in their bubbleworld? Are the sycophants that scared of the Clintons, or that blind, dumb, addicted to the levels of power they've each reached? What could possibly explain it?
Remember, her first comments at presser at UN, when she said her emails were private & would remain so. None of any one else's business? And how she was dragged, literally kicking, yelling, protesting - even saying only the press was interested, the "people" weren't - how they can continue to try to spin all this blatantly ILLEGAL behavior - and think they can get away with it? Stunning. Stupid.
How about entitlement?
It is bigger than hubris: SOCIOPATHY through and through

I'm not convinced they are getting away with it...
We know that this dripping is actually a flood. There is only so long with they hold the water back with smoke and mirrors... Someone has mentioned impeachment below - if she goes through with staying on the ballot, there's no way that is not the first item on the agenda in January for the new Congress. Articles of impeachment are written in the House, and that's a LOT of corrupting to flip that many seats to change the party in charge. I don't think they can pull that off along with everything else - but I've been wrong about what they can get away with before.

Donnie The #ShitHole Douchebag. Fake Friend to the Working Class. Real Asshole.
But the only reason people perceive her
as untrustworthy and dishonest are that Republicans attack her. At least, that is her most recent victim story on that issue.
I don't trust anyone who takes two years to respond to a subpoena, and then miraculously finds documents in the family dining room of the White House.
I don't trust anyone who takes two years to comply with an FOIA, while her lawyer goes through everything and her tech guy wipes her servers clean "like with a cloth."
I don't trust anyone who confuses being handed flowers by a young girl with being shot at.
I don't trust anyone who has her campaign surrogates dog whistling about her black opponent or her Jewish/possibly atheist (according to the surrogates) opponent.
I don't trust anyone who promises state parties the Hillary Victory Fund, then cycles most of the money right back to herself.
I don't trust anyone who claims to be true to her conservative roots, moderate and progressive, all at the same time.
And so on.
I wonder how Republicans forced her to do all those things while she had Secret Service protection?
It's a Clinton mystery.
Small quibble on the servers
I believe the tech guy(s) actually worked for her lawyers - plausible deniability and all. As far as she knew, everything which was supposed to be turned over to State was, amirite? How could she know if anyone wiped it with a cloth? She didn't give the instructions to shred everything on sight.
I'd add on top of your fine list the arms sales to folks who don't seem to support women's rights and those of her queer friends.
The white noise machines at both her fundraisers (to drown out what she's doing for her donors) and at the DNC (to drown out protests) are not exactly trust-inducing.
Her pandering to big banks and big oil and big pharma (what BIG did I miss, please?), oh, and big insurance... I'm sure that list goes on and on.
Her being for TPP and now really, really against it (as Obama will attempt to get it to squeak through before she's sworn-in).
Oh, there are so very many ways to not trust her.
If she told me the sky is blue or summer is hot, it might make me doubt my own experience of the world because EVERYTHING she says appears to be a freakin' lie.
'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member
I looked briefly and could not find a link to anything stating
her lawyers had wiped the servers.
I know she said she did not know if the servers had been wiped or not, but I could not find a link saying her lawyers did it. That would surprise me because that would have put the lawyers at risk for being charged with a federal crime. Susan McDougal was willing to go to jail for contempt of court rather than risk putting Bill Clinton in trouble, but lawyers?
If you know of or can find a link, I would appreciate your putting it in a reply to me.

None of that says her lawyers hired a techie to wipe
her servers. Deleting personal emails is nothing like hiring a tech guy to wipe several servers. Again, I don't know why lawyers would risk prison for Hillary.
I assumed the Hillary hired to set up her servers was also the guy who wiped them, but maybe he isn't. The guy who set up her servers pled the Fifth something like 125 times. http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/284481-clinton-it-specialist...
I don't know for certain if they asked him about wiping servers, though. I can't imagine why they would not have; I just haven't checked. The article does say they asked him what he did to preserve data, though.

That's sure some pretzel logic
Do you remember last week the State spokeswoman saying that the previous set of pay-to-play emails did not ruffle the state department one bit because the department takes input from a a variety of sources? She gave that answer multiple times, but particularly on the questions about the guy who was given a variety of employment options. Nothing to see here...
