Australian Amb. Who Prompted Trump-Russia Probe Has Decade Long Relationship To Clintons – Jim Jordan Wants Answers (And A Second Special Counsel)

DC: The Australian diplomat whose account of a 2016 conversation with embattled Trump campaign staffer George Papadopoulos prompted the FBI to formally open its Russia collusion probe has a decade-long, multi-million dollar connection to the Clinton Foundation.

The Hill reported that Alexander Downer — who at the time served as Australia’s foreign minister — helped launch a $25 million partnership between Australia and The Clinton Foundation to help fight AIDS back in 2006.

Not only was the initiative one of the single, largest charitable endeavors undertaken in The Clinton Foundation’s 21 year history — Australia was one of only four countries to pledge $25 million to The Clinton Foundation — but Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan now says that the FBI failed to alert Congress of Downer’s connection to the Clintons.

Congressman Jim Jordan says this new revelation shoots down claims made by House Intelligence ranking member Adam Schiff. He added the news further necessitates Attorney General Jeff Sessions to appoint a second special counsel to probe the FBI and Justice Department’s handling of the initial counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign.

 

“Schiff made a big point of this in his memo and comments he’s made, where he said ‘the dossier wasn’t the most important thing they were investigating, and the catalyst for the Russian investigation was this Papadopoulos meeting,” the Ohio Republican told The Daily Caller. “Now we’ve learned, the thing they kept hanging their hat on was the Papadopoulos meeting with Ambassador Downer, and it turns out that Mr. Downer now had ties to the Clintons as well.” read more

  1. Just a coincidence. The Clinton Global Enrichment Foundation was completely walled off from political activity and government influence peddling during President Elect Hillary Rodham Clinton’s highly successful years as Secretary of State. How many times do you have to be told these facts before you will finally believe them? We don’t need no stinking Special Prosecutor!

  2. Charles Ortel – a Wall Street investor – looked at the Clinton Foundation books and figured a lot more money went through there than the $2 billion they reported.

    He was surprised by the amounts that GOVERNMENTS donated when those governments had their own direct activity addressing the cause and country the donation was earmarked for. I came away with the conclusion that government politicians in Australia, the UK and other countries with their unprecedented donations were, at least in part, expecting some of that money would be deposited in numbered bank accounts in off-shore banks for the politician’s benefit.

    We learned upon Cameron’s father’s death a couple of years ago that he was a very wealthy man with millions in secret Caribbean banks but never learned how he became so wealthy.

    Food for thought.
