Excerpted from Richard Pollock\’s genuinely troubling article for dailycaller.com:
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton\’s “No Ceilings” women\’s empowerment project at the Clinton Foundation accepted a $5 million commitment last December from a Swiss billionaire even as his lawyers were fighting in federal court to hide his darkest secret – a long record of sexually abusing women. The No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project is needed, according to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, because “even today, persistent stereotypes and barriers keep women from equal access, representation, and compensation in our communities and around the world.”
Hansjorg Wyss, a generous donor to major liberal groups like the Center for American Progress and longtime financial patron of Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta, also launched a “Women\’s Equality Program” at his $2.1 billion Wyss Foundation. His net worth is estimated at $6.1 billion.
At issue in the federal district court case was a $1.5 million settlement of a suit brought by Jacqueline Long, a Colorado woman who charged that Wyss brutally and sexually abused her for years while serving as his employee.
The Clinton Foundation repeatedly declined to respond to TheDCNF questions about the Wyss gift and the non-profit\’s vetting process of its donors. Earlier this year, Charity Navigator, a philanthropy watchdog group, put the Clinton Foundation on its “watch list” for troubled non-profits.
Viveca Novak, the communications director for the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, told TheDCNF the Wyss gift “does make one question what kind of vetting process the Clinton Foundation has in accepting donations.”
At what point do mainstream media start talking seriously about what appears to be right in front of their noses: that if there is money to be glommed from someone, the Clintons will have their hands out grasping for it, no matter who and where that money comes from, or who and what its acceptance will benefit?
In answer, these are the same mainstream media who, other than a little occasional whining, have so far been OK with two months of Hillary Clinton ignoring them, as she goes from one scripted event with supporters to another.
But, then again, why shouldn\’t she, since they have not yet seriously called her out on it? Queen Hillary must be deferred to.
Pathetic.
