Clinton Helped Crony Land Mining Deal

Clinton Helped Crony Land Mining Deal
Source: Associated Press

(Newser) – Two days after former president Bill Clinton took pal and mining mogul Frank Giustra to meet Kazakhstan's de facto dictator, Giustra landed a monster contract to mine uranium with state-run mining company Kazatomprom, the New York Times reports—despite his firm’s lack of relevant experience. Shortly thereafter, Clinton’s charitable foundation got a $31.3 million check from Giustra.

Clinton emerged from that meeting praising Kazakhstan's regime, contradicting the officially harsh stance of both US foreign policy and his own wife. Clinton and Giustra deny talking business, but Kazatomprom's chief said deals were struck openly over dinner. He also recalled a meeting, years later, with the pair in Clinton’s house, which both Clinton and Giustra initially denied before backtracking.

Clinton doing good work

Salon Salon Dec 2, 08 2:28 PM CST
(Newser) - Washington’s pundit class has furiously argued that Bill Clinton’s mountain of foreign entanglements will prove a liability for the Obama administration. Poppycock, writes Joe Conason in Salon. Clinton has accepted some restrictions on his activities, and those make sense. “What would not make sense, however, is to hobble Bill Clinton's role as a global citizen.” Clinton’s "soft power" approach is exactly in line with Obama’s philosophy.
