So the Clintons had ties to the Silsby kidnapping racktet before the missionaries were arrested? You don't say.

Here I was reading in all MSM that Clinton had no ties to Silsby whatsoever.

She only intervened because Jim Allen, a self-employed construction worker from Texas, wrote to her via his high-powered lawyers Reginald Brown and Jennifer O'Connor. The former a high-end DC lawyer at a prestigious firm, the latter a former 'senior Clinton Administration aide'.

So instead of Silsby cs., this ordinary construction worker from Texas - not Idaho, mind - acquires the best defensive team ever assembled in an international case:

Brown says the group has assembled what he called a "dream team" for Allen that now includes Wilmer government affairs partner Benjamin Powell; Jackson Walker associate Amanda Bush and Mullin Hoard & Brown's Jeffrey Ritter in Amarillo; Liberty Legal's Hiram Sasser; and local counsel Louis Gary Lissade in Port au Prince. (Lissade is a former minister of justice and two-time president of the Haitian Bar Association; Bush is married to former President George W. Bush's eldest nephew, George P. Bush; and Powell is the former general counsel for the Director of National Intelligence under Presidents Bush and Obama.)

It's my understanding that some of the team was from Texas, but they were on the Dominican Republic side. They left the island as soon as Silsby got caught.

They had tried it the week before with a different group of 40 children. So that (or a) DR side team would have been there then too.

The orphanage Silsby was creating wasn't actually completed yet, so they were still working on it. Keep in mind, they were taking kids from Haiti and then bringing them to their orphanage in the Dominican Republic with the hopes of having them adopted out to the USA. Legitimate adoption agencies simply don't take children across international borders and then have them adopted out to yet another country. Why not just build the orphanage in Haiti if they are legitimate?

What we can deduce about their MO so far: mislead, corrupt and control a congregation - in this case, East Side and Central Valley Baptist Churches - involve them with and take them to a 'crisis spot' - barter/buy/kidnap children - have another team (or cell, or group from a different state etc.) ready at the other side, even to take the fall (as in Silsby's case) - sell the children, - launder the money (where's Silsby's?), rinse, repeat.
