The laura silsby thing: you say that puello was Clinton appointed but is there evidence of that? Also is there any citation that says he got laura silsby released? One of your sources says the opposite. Apparently a man named drew ham hired him who is one of the pastor's of the church. Also he was not a convicted sex trafficker until after this event

This is a bad source, it is written in a confusing way and doesn't properly cite it's sources. This is from the first link:

A Harvard Law School Journal article titled Owning Laura Silby’s Shame claims that getting Silsby off the hook was one of the first things Clinton did after arriving on the scene in Haiti.

The link that it cites doesn't mention this at all. But if you go to the source it says it's citing (the harvard article) it reads:

In the course of a month, President Clinton brokered the release of all the missionaries, except for the group leader, Laura Silsby.

If you end up going to the harvard article (which is what most of the sources cite which claim hillary helped silsby) do me a favor and Ctrl-F "hillary". I can't find a source that supports what you're saying.

This article cites the exact same source. Careful, there are a lot of terrible news sources out there.

He was wanted though, which is why the judge kicked him out. Given that he was wanted for such serious crimes it seems very strange that he would pop up in Haiti for that specific case with so much media attention.

You have a good eye. You have pinpointed the only two bits in this whole summary that I haven't got around to independently verifying.
