Nov 5 2016 - '90s Clinton Scandal: James Riady Still Giving Money to Clintons, joined CGI This topic has to do to my other submission today .. (info on Ken Starr), a lot of reading to really get the scope of it, this being just part of an enormous rabbit hole. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2016/11/05/90s-clinton-scandal-figure-barred-from-u-s-still-giving-money-to-clintons/ / http://archive.is/wQWWI (interesting archive letters lol)   Students of the big Clinton scandals of the 1990s will remember the name of James Riady, an Indonesian businessman who ultimately pled guilty to making illegal donations to Bill Clinton’s political campaigns.  He was barred from entering the United States, [Obama let him in btw] in addition to paying the largest penalty in the history of campaign finance violations. An email disclosed by WikiLeaks demonstrates that Riady is still feeding money into the Clinton machine. Riady, head of the Lippo banking conglomerate, entered a felony plea in 2001 stating that he “knowingly and willfully conspired and agreed to defraud the United States by impairing, obstructing and defeating the lawful functions and duties of the FEC through deceitful and dishonest means.” … Another legendary name from Nineties scandalmania was tangled up in the Riady scandal: Webb Hubbell. As the L.A. Times wrote: The Riady family and its companies also were connected to Clinton friend and onetime Associate Atty. Gen. Webster L. Hubbell. One of the companies controlled by James Riady made a $100,000 payment to Hubbell, who after leaving the Justice Department under an ethics cloud served 18 months in federal prison for defrauding the Rose Law Firm of Little Rock when he and Hillary Rodham Clinton were partners there. As a result of his plea agreement, James Riady was barred from traveling to the United States for at least two years, and agreed to perform 400 hours of community service, while the Lippo Group paid a groundbreaking $8.6 million fine. There was more than just money involved in the Riady/Lippo debacle, as there have long been suspicions the Chinese government was involved, using Lippo’s donations to buy access to American missile technology. There’s no question China got the technology it wanted; in a phrase that will sound familiar after WikiLeaks documented the special treatment Clinton Foundation donors received from Hillary Clinton’s State Department, it was the “quid pro quo” that could never be proven.  Some believe Riady’s plea-bargain agreement was a successful effort to stonewall a more serious investigation. The deal was signed less than two weeks before George W. Bush became President. Obama let Riady back into the US, Riady becomes member of Clinton Global Initiative Riady’s second visit to the U.S. was hardly limited to “family graduation ceremonies.” Among other things, he registered for a New York meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative, a meeting which both Hillary Clinton and President Obama attended. He told the Post he didn’t actually attend the meeting because he couldn’t fit it into his schedule. He did, however, pay $20,000 to become a member of the Clinton Global Initiative. And now comes the WikiLeaks revelation that, according to a December 2012 email from the Clinton Foundation, Riady is funding a “retrofit program in Indonesia” with the Foundation’s Asia Climate Group. This information is part of a financial statement for Clinton Foundation board members attached to the email. This email was sent to Clinton’s campaign CEO John Podesta and her chief of staff Cheryl Mills, among others, so it will be interesting to watch Hillary Clinton claim she was completely unaware of Riady’s involvement. Noteable from comments: There's even more to the Riady-Clinton history of graft. During Clinton's presidency, Riady owned one of two low-sulphur coal mines in the world. His was in Indonesia, while the other was in Utah. Low-sulphur coal was and is very useful and sought after, bringing a high price. The Utah mine is on federal land, but proceeds went to the State of Utah school funds. Coincidental with the donations mentioned in the article, with virtually no pressure or requests from domestic groups, President William J. Clinton summarily declared the land upon which rested the Utah coal mine a nation monument, Escalante Grand Staircase Monument, putting it out of business and out of reach for the Utah school kids. Bingo, monopoly for Riady low-sulphur coal world-wide. That ties it all together: The Clintons, The Global Warming scam, the Clinton Foundation as a money laundering scheme and the Chinese/Asian banking connections...
