HILLARY’S HANWHA PROBLEM

Ever hear of  the Hanwha group?  If not, you will.  Count on it.

Hanwha is a Korean chemical and explosives company, with a shady former convict of a CEO named Kim Seung-youn.  It has handed over millions of dollars to the Clintons, both in the form of “donations” to the Clinton foundation and unconscionably ridiculous amounts for “speeches” – which anyone with an IQ over 46 would see as payoffs.

For what?

Well, how about the Korean trade pact that Hillary Clinton was adamantly against…until the Hanwha money started rolling in…and then suddenly was adamantly in favor of?

Excerpted from Chuck Ross’s article at dailycaller.com:

When the Clinton Foundation released a list of its donors on its website in Dec. 2008, three Hanwha subsidiaries were included. Hanwha Stores Ltd., Hanwha L&C Corp. and Hanwha Engineering and Construction gave a total of between $600,000 and $1.25 million to the foundation, according to the release.

In Nov. 2003 Bill appeared with Kim at the grand opening for a Hanwha subsidiary, Korea Life Insurance Co. After that appearance, he traveled to Seoul to golf with Kim.

Bill came back into contact with the company in Sept. 2012 when he gave the keynote speech at the Solar Power International conference co-sponsored by Hanwha Solar in Orlando, Fla.

Kim was not at the event, likely because he had been convicted the month before for embezzling more than $260 million and was serving a four-year prison sentence. He was pardoned in Feb. 2014.

Being the CEO of a major South Korean company, Kim was an ardent supporter of a U.S.-South Korea trade agreement. Though both countries agreed to the pact in June 2007, it met opposition from U.S. politicians, including Clinton, who had just announced her presidential candidacy.

As NPR noted in an article last month, at a meeting of the AFL-CIO in 2007, Clinton called the South Korea trade deal “inherently unfair.”

“It will hurt the U.S. auto industry, increase our trade deficit, cost us good middle-class jobs and make America less competitive,” Clinton said then.

But four years later at an event she attended as secretary of state in Seoul, South Korea, Clinton said that securing the trade deal was “priority for me, for President Obama and for the entire administration. We are determined to get it done, and I believe we will.”

Amazing what a few million dollars will do.  Amazing how it makes a deal that was “inherently unfair” and would hurt the USA, into a priority.

This stinks to high heaven.

And since it is far from the only odoriferous connection which reeks from The Clinton Foundation and its donor list, you can expect plenty more like it.

What will Hillary say?  “I’m not affiliated with the Clinton Foundation”?…when she was fully affiliated right up to the time she declared herself a presidential candidate?

And how many lowest-of-low information voters will accept it if she does?

Stay tuned.  And be sure to bring nose plugs.  Good ones.
