Wall Street Journal’s Mary O’Grady: “Development Banks Are The Butt Of Jokes Among Economists Because While They Claim To Fight Poverty They Are Mostly Good At Empire Building…The Same Might Be Said Of The Clintons In Haiti.” [Mary O’Grady, Wall Street Journal, 3/8/15] Wall Street Journal’s Mary O’Grady: Secretary Clinton’s Tenure At The State Department As Well As Bill Clinton’s Appointment As U.N. Special Envoy To Haiti “Gave The Clintons A Lot Of Power Of U.S. Foreign-Aid Decisions” There. “A few months after Hillary Clinton became secretary of state in 2009, Bill Clinton was named the U.N. special envoy to Haiti. That gave the Clintons a lot of power over U.S. foreign-aid decisions in the small country.” [Mary O’Grady, Wall Street Journal, 3/8/15] Wall Street Journal’s Mary O’Grady: After Bill Clinton “Was Named Co-Chair Of The Interim Haiti Recovery Commission” Following The 2010 Earthquake, “The State Department Began Directing Parties Interested In Competing For Haiti Contracts To The Clinton Foundation.” “They accumulated more influence after the 2010 earthquake, when Bill was named co-chair of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission. The State Department began directing parties interested in competing for Haiti contracts to the Clinton Foundation. Being on the right side of Bill matters if you want to benefit from U.S. foreign aid destined for Haiti.” [Mary O’Grady, Wall Street Journal, 3/8/15] Wall Street Journal’s Mary O’Grady: IDB Finance Specialist Mariela Antiga Was Fired From Her Work In Haiti After She “Had Objected To An April 2009 OAS Road Contract.” “Mariela Antiga arrived in Haiti a few months before Mrs. Clinton became secretary of state. She had signed a three-year contract with the IDB as an in-country finance specialist whose job it was to ensure the integrity of the bidding process and the validity of the contracts. But in March 2010 the IDB told her to pack her bags and leave Haiti… Ms. Antiga had objected to an April 2009 OAS road contract. Her concerns were echoed, according to the tribunal report, by two other employees.” [Mary O’Grady, Wall Street Journal, 3/8/15] Wall Street Journal’s Mary O’Grady: “The IDB’s Gifts Are Perhaps Easier To Understand Since The State Department Plays A Key Role In Approving The Bank’s U.S. Funding.” [Mary O’Grady, Wall Street Journal, 3/8/15] Wall Street Journal’s Mary O’Grady: The IDB Donated A Total Of $1,075,000 Over 5 Years For One Meeting And Seven Policy Forums. “The IDB told me in an email it made a 2014 donation to the Clinton Foundation of $150,000 for ‘The Future of the Americas Meeting.’ Between 2009 and 2013 it donated another $925,000 to ‘finance expenses and activities’ for the planning and design of ‘7 public policy forums . . . in which leaders on key topics relevant to the work of the Bank were able to exchange ideas, enhance their understanding and forge new and stronger partnerships.’” [Mary O’Grady column, Wall Street Journal, 3/8/15] Wall Street Journal’s Mary O’Grady: “Haiti Is Unlikely To Triumph Over Its Long Struggle Against Corruption When The U.S. Government Grants A Former U.S. President Wide Power, With Little Oversight, To Dispense Hundreds Of Millions In The Midst Of Such Destitution.” “The problem with the Clintons in Haiti is that everywhere you go, they are there with the appearance of a conflict of interest. Haiti is unlikely to triumph over its long struggle against corruption when the U.S. government grants a former U.S. president wide power, with little oversight, to dispense hundreds of millions in the midst of such destitution.” [Mary O’Grady column, Wall Street Journal, 3/8/15] …AND THESE CLAIMS WERE REFUTED BY CLINTON FOUNDATION CHAIRMAN BRUCE LINDSEY Clinton Foundation Chairman Bruce Lindsey Op-Ed: “Clinton Foundation Is Helping Haiti.” [Bruce Lindsey, Wall Street Journal, 3/25/15] Clinton Foundation Chairman Lindsey: Wall Street Journal Columnist O’Grady, In Criticizing Clinton Foundation Work In Haiti, “Ascribe[d] Decision-Making Power To Both President Bill Clinton And Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton Where It Never Existed.” “[Wall Street Journal
