Haiti Accuses Trump of Laundering Money for Former Dictator 'Baby Doc' Duvalier.

Why have a double standard when one standard will do just fine?
Leftist logic at its finest.

Trump is being investigated by his own DOJ.

There is not even a DOJ investigation against Clinton by Trump's DOJ.

Eat that logic, Con.
 
Records show his condos were purchased through shell companies linked to the brutal despot.

On 7 February 1986, facing a domestic populist revolt and international pressure to step down, embattled President of Haiti Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier, fled his country for exile in France onboard a United States Air Force jet. A New York Times obituary from 4 October 2014 described his rule over Haiti as one of “bloody brutality”, widespread corruption, and lavish excess:

When he fled Haiti, American officials said he held $200 million to $500 million in foreign bank accounts and had a reputation for giving family members million-dollar vacations at luxury resorts, as millions of Haitians lived in squalor and scrounged for food.

Once he fled, a new government in Haiti attempted recover these assets, which they believed the Duvalier regime had looted from the government and people of Haiti. A 14 July 1986 story in New York Magazine first reported that one of the assets the government of Haiti was trying to seize was an apartment in Trump Tower purchased in August 1983 through a shell corporation:

Investigators working for the new government of Haiti have uncovered what they believe is almost $5 million worth of New York real estate owned by interests linked to the family of deposed president Jean-Claude Duvalier.

These assets consist of five Manhattan apartments, including a fifty-fourth-floor Trump Tower condominium bought in August 1983 for $1.65 million. This is the first reported instance of Duvalier assets being discovered in the United States.

The apartment in question, 54K, was purchased by “Lasa Trade and Finance” and — at the time of the 1986 article — was occupied by a friend of the Duvaliers named Jean “Johnny” Sambour.

Serendipitously, thanks to a combination of late telephone bills and several checks issued to Sambour by the Treasury of Haiti, a United States law firm hired by the Government of Haiti was able to ascertain that, indeed, the apartment was owned by the Duvaliers.

Recounting his experience hunting down the assets of the Duvaliers in a 2009 New Yorker profile, prolific corporate intelligence investigator Jules Kroll (who had been hired by the U.S. law firm retained by the Haitian government) said that Duvalier’s looting from the Haitian treasury was far from subtle:

Baby Doc, Kroll said, was “not the sharpest nail in the box.” He had looted the Haitian treasury by writing big checks. “Apartment in Trump Tower?” Kroll made a show of laborious penmanship. “ ‘Trump . . . Tower.’ Even we could figure that one out.”

In March 1987, President Ronald Reagan signed an executive order freezing any U.S.-based Duvalier assets, which included — according to the New York Times — Trump Tower apartment 54K.

The tale of Duvalier’s ownership of a Trump Tower apartment gained renewed interest in January 2018, thanks to a BuzzFeed News investigation of possible money laundering by the Trump Organization, combined with Trump’s alleged derogatory comments about Haiti.

That BuzzFeed report investigated every U.S. sale of a Trump Organization or Trump-branded property since 1980 to see how many fit the U.S. Government’s criteria for possible money laundering, finding that a full 21 percent could fit that bill:

Trump condo sales that match Treasury’s characteristics of possible money laundering totaled $1.5 billion, BuzzFeed News calculated. They accounted for 21% of the 6,400 Trump condos sold in the US. Those figures include condos that Trump developed as well as condos that others developed in his name under licensing deals that pay Trump a fee or a percentage of sales. […]

The property records analyzed by BuzzFeed News would not by themselves reveal money laundering – only warning signs.

That story does mention the Duvalier incident, reporting that Trump himself signed the deed of sale for Apartment 54K in 1983, but notes that there is no evidence that the Trump Organization, or Trump personally, participated in any untoward money laundering scheme in this case.

However, as Donald Trump did sell an apartment in Trump Tower to Duvalier through a Panamanian shell corporation in 1983, we rank the claim as true.

Those tax cuts are adding 300 billion to the deficit PER YEAR and that's structural - means they will continue to add every year without spending cuts which are not going to happen.

And Iran recently voted in the moderates last year, what regime change? You want the Mullahs back?

Trump deported less Mexicans than Obama

You forgot to mention giant layoffs by Walmart, Carrier and Comcast

If you want to focus on the good things that's fine, that doesn't mean bad shit isn't happening. And by the way, economy was doing just as good under Obama, what do you think Trump was doing? Heeding your advice? See for yourself - https://www.reddit.com/r/trumpcriticizestrump

-He's deported less Mexicans than Barack? Well there ya go. Compassion.
The point was we have less coming in. And that includes drugs.

-Taxes...you have to give it time to see what happens. Smarter minds than you and I are at work here. I'm no economist.

-Iran... they voted for more freedom.... the Persians are a very intelligent people (OMG ("rolling eyes") Zandy's a racist with a statement like that).... they know whats best for them.

-Layoffs at Wallyworld? OK now you're talking about something I know. Those jobs from Sams club will be absorbed into the main operation according to the CEO. If Sams can't beat COST, thats capitalism. Survival of the fittest. No corporate welfare
...(BB&T CEO just raised his entry level employees starting wage to $15 from $12 today btw. It was in their CC today).

-Comcast? Well Spectrum is bringing back over 20,000 jobs from overseas to TX and investing 25 Billion in infrastructure spending to bring more people broadband. How many jobs from UTX's Carrier division are leaving? 500?

Smuckers sucks!
Nobody gives a fuck how many points I captured off the DOW... but lets ask 100 Million average Joes with 401K's.
And wtf does Smuckers have to do with anything? Albeit I have a thread here that called it dead at $128 and another one that subsequently called it a buy at $104.
And yeah... definitely in tune with what our boys and girls in uniform are thinking these days. Moral is VERY high.

Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal


https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/...s-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html

here is just one part of the story...

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.
And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.


...

To judge from those disclosures — which list the contributions in ranges rather than precise amounts — the only Uranium One official to give to the Clinton Foundation was Mr. Telfer, the chairman, and the amount was relatively small: no more than $250,000, and that was in 2007, before talk of a Rosatom deal began percolating.

But a review of tax records in Canada, where Mr. Telfer has a family charity called the Fernwood Foundation, shows that he donated millions of dollars more, during and after the critical time when the foreign investment committee was reviewing his deal with the Russians. With the Russians offering a special dividend, shareholders like Mr. Telfer stood to profit.

His donations through the Fernwood Foundation included $1 million reported in 2009, the year his company appealed to the American Embassy to help it keep its mines in Kazakhstan; $250,000 in 2010, the year the Russians sought majority control; as well as $600,000 in 2011 and $500,000 in 2012. Mr. Telfer said that his donations had nothing to do with his business dealings, and that he had never discussed Uranium One with Mr. or Mrs. Clinton. He said he had given the money because he wanted to support Mr. Giustra’s charitable endeavors with Mr. Clinton. “Frank and I have been friends and business partners for almost 20 years,” he said.

The Clinton campaign left it to the foundation to reply to questions about the Fernwood donations; the foundation did not provide a response.

Mr. Telfer’s undisclosed donations came in addition to between $1.3 million and $5.6 million in contributions, which were reported, from a constellation of people with ties to Uranium One or UrAsia, the company that originally acquired Uranium One’s most valuable asset: the Kazakh mines. Without those assets, the Russians would have had no interest in the deal: “It wasn’t the goal to buy the Wyoming mines. The goal was to acquire the Kazakh assets, which are very good,” Mr. Novikov, the Rosatom spokesman, said in an interview.

Amid this influx of Uranium One-connected money, Mr. Clinton was invited to speak in Moscow in June 2010, the same month Rosatom struck its deal for a majority stake in Uranium One.

The $500,000 fee — among Mr. Clinton’s highest — was paid by Renaissance Capital, a Russian investment bank with ties to the Kremlin that has invited world leaders, including Tony Blair, the former British prime minister, to speak at its investor conferences.




That article is written by Breitbart's editor who was paid by NYT who ofcourse are fake news

As you can see in the chart, the $145 million in donations didn’t happen "while" the Russian deal was occurring in 2010. According to Clinton Cash, five donors contributed $136.4 million at or before a March 2008 benefit hosted by Giustra. While the book doesn’t specify when the other four donated to the Clinton Foundation, we were able to trace another $2.6 million to the March fundraiser.

Furthermore, the bulk of the $145 million comes from Frank Giustra, the founder of UrAsia Energy and a major Clinton Foundation donor. Guistra says he sold all of his stakes in Uranium One in the fall of 2007, "at least 18 months before Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State" and three years before the Russian deal. We couldn’t independently verify Giustra’s claim from UrAsia’s or Uranium One’s public filings.

So the accusation is that Clinton got the money in 2008 knowing Russians will want to buy U1 in 2010? Really?

Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal

It's called a deductive fallacy.

Cash flowed to Clinton Foundation 'amid' Uranium deal doesn't mean Cash flowed BECAUSE of "Uranium deal".

And also did the deal happen in 2008? Because that's what the NYTimes article written by Breitbarter is saying cash flowed.
 
right... and you believe bill did not have sexual relations with that woman.
it might be a deductive fallacy with a normal person of integrity.
With the Clintons, arguing that they might have innocently received a hundred million dollars from putin might not be a logical fallacy but it is signpost or marker for brain damage.

I am not analyzing people's statement, I am looking at the evidence given and judging it on it's own weight.

Bill Clinton doesn't have to testify and tell me that 2008 is not 2010, he doesn't have to tell me that Hillary had no power to push all the members in the CFIUS to approve a deal - a deal noone objected to given how irrelevant it was.

And why the fuck do you keep confusing Guestra with Putin? Guestra is a CANADIAN, how many times do you have to be told that?
