"The Clinton Foundation admitted Thursday that a 2010 donation from the Algerian government was not properly approved under the guidelines the Obama administration put in place with the foundation when Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State in 2009.
The "unsolicited" $500,000 donation was made by the Embassy of Algeria "immediately following the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010," the Clinton foundation said in an unsigned statement.
"As the Clinton Foundation did with all donations it received for earthquake relief, the entire amount of Algeria's contribution was distributed as aid in Haiti," the statement said. "This donation was disclosed publicly on the Clinton Foundation website, however, the State Department should have also been formally informed." "
Funny that Clinton would "forget" to tell her own State Department about this donation, and just this one (that we know of).
Camp Clinton were not amused that Scarborough claimed this payment was to get them off the terror watch list, and looks like they got PolitiFact to help them rebut it.

But it would appear that, barring some serious scrubbing, it is true that Algeria was never on the list.

Could Algeria have been attempting merely to lobby the State Department out of calling out their human rights record?

But I ponder another possibility, hence this thread and it's relevance to PG.
Algeria happens to be Tier 3 flagged in Trafficking in Persons reporting:
https://www.state.gov/j/tip/rls/tiprpt/countries/2016/258710.htm
More specifically, "The government demonstrated negligible efforts to identify and protect trafficking victims."
And yet, they discovered a child trafficking ring in 2009, believed to have been operating since the 90s.

"The network behind the alleged trafficking was reportedly composed of both French and Algerian nationals."
The trial didn't conclude until 2013...meanwhile, in France and other countries in 2010:

But Algeria apparently just wants to "help Haiti" by giving an "unsolicited" donation to the Clinton Foundation that she forgot to tell her own State Department about.
"Help Haiti". The same Haiti where Laura Silsby and her missionary friends were arrested for trying to smuggle kids out of Haiti without documentation.

The same Haiti even UNICEF warned about possible traffickers posing as do-gooders taking their children across to the Dominican Republic for a better life (like Silsby was supposedly attempting).

The same Haiti where this bust happened:

Just four days after the Clintons leave Haiti:

So, what's the deal, Algeria? Were you trying to buy kids, or encourage the Clintons to usher everyone to look the other way?
IMO, FBIAnon asked that we "focus on the Foundation" for good reason. This may be part of that reason.

Excellent post and great job connecting the dots. There is definitely something fishy going on here.
