Aussie Complaints Headed to FBI on Clinton Foundation’s Dealings Down Under

Retired Australian police detective Michael Smith has accumulated startling evidence of millions of dollars mishandled
by Mark Tapscott | Updated 16 Jan 2018 at 6:02 PM

An Australian investigative journalist who is a retired police detective said Tuesday he has been asked to provide the FBI with details about multiple allegations of mishandling millions of dollars contributed to the Clinton Foundation by the Aussie government.

“I have been asked to provide the FBI with further and better particulars about allegations regarding improper donations to the CF funded by Australian taxpayers,” Michael Smith told LifeZette.

At the center of Smith’s complaints are former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and multiple Australian government officials, including senior diplomat Alexander Downer, that government’s high commissioner to the United Kingdom.

Downer hit U.S. headlines recently when he was reported to have told the FBI of a May 2016 conversation he had with George Papadopoulos, then a campaign aide to President Donald Trump. Downer told U.S. law enforcement officials that Papadopoulos told him Russia had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton.

The New York Times claimed in its Dec. 30, 2017, story that the information Downer gave the FBI was a major factor in the bureau’s decision to investigate allegations of collusion between Russian interests and the Trump campaign. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI last year.

The materials Smith is giving the FBI focus on a 2006 memorandum of understanding between the Australian government and the Clinton Foundation’s Clinton HIV/AIDs Initiative (CHAI). Smith claims the foundation received a “$25M financial advantage dishonestly obtained by deception” as a result of actions by Bill Clinton and Downer, who was then Australia’s minister of foreign affairs.

Smith claims the foundation received a “$25M financial advantage dishonestly obtained by deception.”

Also included in the Smith materials are evidence he believes shows “corrupt October 2006 backdating of false tender advertisements purporting to advertise the availability of a $15 million contract to provide HIV/AIDS services in Papua New Guinea on behalf of the Australian government after an agreement was already in place to pay the Clinton Foundation and/or associates.”

A third complaint concerns what Smith describes as “the $10 million financial advantage dishonestly obtained by deception between April 1, 2008, and Sept. 25, 2008, at Washington, D.C., New York, New York, and Canberra Australia involving an MOU between the Australian government, the “Clinton Climate Initiative,” and the purported “Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute Inc.”


A spokesman for the Clinton Foundation did not respond to LifeZette’s request for comment early Tuesday.

I read "Clinton" and "Down Under" and I think Monica must be involved.

If they did go get them. If trump did go get him.

It’s not an excuse or reason. It’s treacherous. If you are so upset about the clintons doing it it’s odd you are ok with anyone else potentially doing it. I’d think you’d want all of it investigated. I do.

And regardless of the name being investigated if there is something there nail them. If the investigation says there isn’t, or not enough to take action accept it.

The name being investigated shouldn’t matter. If it does you might be just playing games.

Comey will prolly get grief from both sides in years to come...

If Mueller doesn't exonerate Trump or his family members (Jr or Jared), the GOP will revile him more than they will Comey...

Comey? Deservedly so. He ended an investigation before all of the facts were in. He allowed legal wording to be altered to divert a mandatory prison sentence.

Mueller? Do you really think he's going to find any evidence of "collusion"? That's what he's supposed to be doing. Instead the witch hunt has gone nowhere. If anything it's shined a glowing light on GPS Fusion...the DNC and Hillary Clinton.

Don't know yet how Mueller's investigation will end. There is some evidence that people in the Trump campaign had contacts with some Russians during the campaign...but does it amount to a criminal conspiracy between citizens and foreign agents to affect an election (collusion)? Not sure if it does...the investigation continues...as it should...

Only partisan Trump supporters see this as a a witch hunt. The fates of Paul Manafort, Richard Gates, Michael Flynn and George Papadoupolos indicate otherwise. Two guilty pleas with agreements to assist the investigation, and two guys going to trial in a few months. That's some filler for the nothing burger...

Honestly...if Hillary had won and she and her campaign did the same things with Russians that the Trump campaign did, you would demand, and I would support, a thorough investigation...and if the evidence shows criminal misconduct, that would warrant punitive action and we should both want to "lock them all up."


butt Hillary note: DOJ has opened an investigation into her activities during the election. If there are findings of wrong-doing, she should suffer the consequences. Crooked politicians come in both colors...

BY BRETT SAMUELS 683

The FBI was unable to preserve some text messages between two agents who have been accused of anti-Trump bias, including one who previously served on special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, according to a letter from the bureau to lawmakers.

The FBI said it did not have a record of messages exchanged over a six-month period between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page because many of its issued mobile phones had problems related to “rollouts, provisioning, and software upgrades.”



“The result was that data that should have been automatically collected and retained for long-term storage and retrieval was not collected,” the FBI explained in the letter.


Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) expressed concerns over the missing messages, according to a letter he sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray, obtained Sunday by The Hill.
Strzok, who also worked on the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, was removed last summer from Mueller’s probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia after it was discovered he had sent anti-Trump messages.

Some Republicans seized on the news as an indication that Mueller’s probe was biased against President Trump.

The missing messages were sent between Dec. 14, 2016, and May 17, 2017, according to Johnson’s letter.

The Justice Department has given various congressional committees nearly 400 pages of additional text messages between two FBI officials who were removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.


One of the newly discovered messages, lawmakers said, appeared to indicate that Peter Strzok and Lisa Page knew that charges would not be filed against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as a result of the investigation into her email server -- before Clinton was interviewed by the bureau.

Strzok and Page were pulled off the probe last summer after it emerged that some of their messages to each other included anti-Trump content. Strzok, an FBI counterintelligence agent, was reassigned to the Bureau's human resources division after the discovery of the exchanges with Page, with whom he was having an affair.


According to a Saturday letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray from Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, the Justice Department provided 384 pages of messages to lawmakers on Friday. However, Johnson noted that additional texts sent between Dec. 14, 2016 and May 17 of last year were not preserved by the FBI's system.

Panel goes on 'Hannity' to react to the report.
One exchange between Strzok and Page, dated July 1, 2016, referenced then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch's decision to accept the FBI's conclusion in the Clinton investigation. Lynch's announcement came days after it was revealed that the attorney general and former President Bill Clinton had an impromptu meeting aboard her plane in Phoenix.

"Timing looks like hell," Strzok texted Page.


"Yeah, that is awful timing," Page agreed. In a later message, she added: "It's a real profile in couragw [sic], since she knows no charges will be brought."

Congressional lawmakers are reportedly looking into whether Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were behind some leaks to the media on the Russia investigation; reaction and analysis from cybersecurity analyst Morgan Wright.
Four days later, then-FBI Director James Comey announced that no charges would be brought against Clinton, even though -- as he put it -- her actions in regard to the private server were "extremely careless."

Another exchange from the day before referenced a change to Comey's statement closing out the investigation. While an earlier draft of the statement said Clinton and President Barack Obama had an email exchange while Clinton was "on the territory" of a hostile adversary, the reference to Obama at first was changed to "senior government official" and then omitted entirely in the final version.

Good thing Mueller relieved them of duty from the special investigation as soon as this issue came to light, and that it cropped up very early on...

pretty sure Mueller's taken a second and deeper look into the bonafides of his team of investigators...and that there are Trump sympathizers in the agency looking for more dirt...

Maybe the DOJ can resolve the other claim of "prejudgment " by the FBI in the Hillary investigation. Thank goodness we've moved on from Benghazi...

Funny, but during the Bush years, we all were sure that the CIA and FBI were all cons...whodda thunk...
