It's Good There Is No Kerry Foundation

It's truly amazing.  Two weeks ago, the country finally got to see emails from the Hillary Clinton trove of goodies in which we saw the Clinton State Department doing favors for mega-donors to the Clinton Foundation.  The most prominent example of this dealt with a man named Chagoury who is Lebanese but who lives in Nigeria.  The head of the Foundation wanted the State Department to put Chagoury in touch with the person in the State Department in charge of dealing with Lebanon.  After all, Chagoury had given between one and five million bucks to the Clinton Foundation according to the public records.  The Clinton State Department connected Chagoury with the American ambassador in Lebanon.  They did this even though Chagoury had been convicted in Switzerland for money laundering in 2000.  That was where the story stopped for about ten days.  Now the next shoe has dropped.  Here's the key:  in 2013, once Clinton was replaced by John Kerry as Secretary of State, Chagoury applied for a visa to enter the USA.  It was denied.  The reason it was denied is that Chagoury had ties to terrorist organizations.  The group in question is the same one that bombed the US Marine barracks in Beirut in the 1980s, an attack that killed over 200 Americans.

Let me state that more clearly.  Hillary Clinton's State Department set up a meeting between a supporter of anti-American terrorists and the American ambassador to Lebanon because the man had given a big donation to the Clinton Foundation.  This was not something unknown at the time.  The same man could not even get a visa to enter the US in the year after Hillary Clinton left office.  The Clinton State Department placed donations to the Clinton Foundation above the fight against terrorism and the security of American diplomatic personnel in Lebanon.

It is truly an outrage.  Thank God, that John Kerry doesn't have his own foundation.
