regarding:

2) Bill and Frank worked together to sell UrAsia Ltd. to Uranium One and to create the Clinton-Giustra Global Initiative

Other info: Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (CGEP)

Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra formed a company called Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. for business in Colombia. From 2005, former President Bill Clinton arranges a series of meetings between Giustra and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, in which Clinton is frequently present. In 2007, Clinton even meets Uribe and Giustra at the Clintons’ home in Chappaqua, New York. Also in 2007, Pacific Rubiales signs a $300 million deal to build a pipeline in central Colombia, gains control of Colombia’s largest oilfield, and acquires the right to cut timber in a biologically diverse Colombian forest. Giustra will later insist that was purely coincidental, and he has traveled frequently with Bill Clinton without business deals. (Clinton has flown for free on Giustra’s private jet at least 25 times.) But Bloomberg News will later note, “Giustra’s globe-trotting adventures with Bill Clinton have coincided with lucrative business deals.”

Clinton Foundation franchise in Canada

In 2007, Giustra and Bill Clinton cofound a Canadian offshoot of the Clinton Foundation called the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (CGEP). It will later be alleged that this is a “slush fund” allowing foreigners to donate money indirectly to the Clinton Foundation in the hopes of getting favorable treatment from the Clintons. 

In 1991, the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) issued a secret intelligence report showing that Uribe “worked for the Medellin [drug] cartel” and is “a close personal friend of Pablo Escobar Gaviria,” the notorious drug lord. Uribe continues to be linked to a variety of scandals and human rights abuses during his presidency. (Harper’s Magazine, 11/17/2015) (The New York Review of Books, 1/30/2016) (The Wall Street Journal, 2/14/2008)

Drug Cartels, Human Trafficking, etc... anyone can pay to play the Clinton way!

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

A small cadre of players--executives, investors, consultants and underwriters--have a hand in many of the junior mining deals being done in Canada at any given time. At the centre of this web is Frank Giustra, who repays the loyalty of friends and partners with lucrative roles in his various mining-related endeavours. Many of these same people are also major donors to the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative
