Harvard Analyst Accuses Clintons Of Monumental Charity Fraud

"A financial analyst from Harvard University says he has evidence that the Clinton’s have committed the largest charity fraud in American history.

Charles Ortel has investigated the Clinton Foundation, and his findings threaten to destroy Hillary’s bid in the Democratic nomination for President.

Wallstreetonparade.com reports:

In a 9-page letter dated yesterday and posted to his blog, Ortel calls the Clintons’ charity the “largest unprosecuted charity fraud ever attempted,” adding for good measure that the Clinton Foundation is part of an “international charity fraud network whose entire cumulative scale (counting inflows and outflows) approaches and may even exceed $100 billion, measured from 1997 forward.” Ortel lists 40 potential areas of fraud or wrongdoing that he plans to expose over the coming days.

A June 2015 article in the Wall Street Journal by Kimberley Strassel stopped hinting and spelled it out boldly, calling the Clinton Foundation a “Hillary superPac that throws in the occasional good deed.” Strassel explained:

“The media’s focus is on Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state, and whether she took official actions to benefit her family’s global charity. But the mistake is starting from the premise that the Clinton Foundation is a ‘charity.’ What’s clear by now is that this family enterprise was set up as a global shakedown operation, designed to finance and nurture the Clintons’ continued political ambitions. It’s a Hillary super PAC that throws in the occasional good deed.”

supporters who pretended to be Bernie supporters so they could later go the fake #BernieLostMe route. That may have given him ideas that going fake #HillaryLostMe route would make his attack on Hillary seem more credible. Since I try not to have double standards, I'm not going to take him at his word on the #HillaryLostMe thing, anymore than I took some lying posters at their word when they claimed to be supporting Bernie. His analysis has to stand on its own without #HillaryLostMe or it fails.

except that he went to the Business School there many years ago (like G.W. Bush). And yes, it's right-wing crap. He writes for the Washington Times and his crap is taken up in Breitbart, WND, and other right-wing sites. Shameful. Pathetic.

He is NOT a "Harvard Analyst" in any meaningful sense of that phrase. He's a kooky right wing conspiracy theorist with a masters degree.

Lots of countries donated to the foundation. You have nothing there that links one to the other. Do you think we wouldn't sell weapons to Canada if they didn't donate to the foundation? Weapons deals are incredibly complex and are mostly handled by the Pentagon. Its not as if you could just sell one.

Frank Hugenard is a political scientist, public speaker and freelance contributor to the Huffington Post. He had his story removed by HuffPo editors and his account disabled without explanation. His article bore the title: ""Hillary Clinton to be Indicted On Federal Racketeering Charges" It quickly went viral before being removed.

FBI Director James Comey will present a recommendation to Loretta Lynch, Attorney General and head of the U.S. Department of Justice, that includes a compelling argument that the Clinton Foundation is an ongoing criminal enterprise engaged in money laundering and soliciting bribes in exchange for political, policy and legislative favors to individuals, corporations and even governments both foreign and domestic.

Huguenard, a Bernie Sanders supporter, says that he has sources within the FBI. They say the Bureau will recommend that the DOJ file Racketeering charges against Mrs. Clinton.


This so lacks any credibility it is beyond ridiculous.

Charles Ortel is not affiliated with Harvard University in any way. He has an MBA from Harvard. Like thousands of others including George W. Bush (which shows how smart you need to be to get one of those MBAs). He is no more a "Harvard analyst" -- the outright lie in this OP's title-- than I am Michelle Obama's second cousin. He is a Clinton bashing right wing conspiracist.

He has zero affiliation of any sort with Harvard other than being an alumnus. And an MBA alumnus at that, never to be confused with a graduate of Harvard College or one of its PhD programs. MBAs do not learn financial "analysis" in the meaning of that term in finance. Those people have math degrees or CS degrees.

So this OP inflates this clown's credentials to advance its own credibility.

But like so much Sanders butthurt propaganda, it's a crock of shit.
