In the previous article, we discussed Hillary's relationiship to the Communist Party USA and the Chinese Communist led "Black Panthers". It has been my contention that Bill and Hill sold out to the Chinese in the very beginning and now represent their interests and not the interests of the United States. No where is this more evident than in the case of Chinese born billionaire James Riady and his Lippo Group.
"Corruption controversies have marked Riady's business career. In the 1996 presidential campaign, James Riady was a major campaign contributor to the Democratic Party. In 1998, the United States Senate conducted an investigation of the finance scandal of the 1996 U.S. presidential campaign. James Riady was indicted and pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations by himself and his corporation. He was ordered to pay an 8.6 million U.S. dollar fine for contributing foreign funds to the Democratic Party, the largest fine ever levied in a campaign finance case. In 2008, Riady's close business associate Billy Sindoro, an executive of Riady's Jakarta-based First Media, was filmed handing bribes to officials of Indonesia's anti-monopoly agency, the KPPU. Riady and First Media were then in a business dispute with a Malaysian company and the KPPU was deliberating that dispute. Sindoro was later found guilty of corruption. In December 2008, the Riady-owned Jakarta Globe published a sympathetic portrait of Sindoro in prison where he lamented he would not be able to spend Christmas with his family." (source)
There used to be a time in American politics when taking money from foreign nationals was considered an act of treason. Especially those foreign nationals that came from countries that were considered "hostile" to the United States. James Riady is one of the front-men for the Lippo Group:
"Testimony before Sen. Fred Thompson's committee indicated that the Lippo Group is in fact a joint venture of China Resources, a trading and holding company "wholly owned" by the Chinese communist government and used as a front for Chinese espionage operations. China Resources investments in Lippo grew during the course of the Clinton administration, coinciding with illegal six-figure Lippo contributions to Clinton's cash machine. These contributions seem to not only have bought Lippo employee John Huang a job in the Commerce Department, but special consideration for Lippo business interests at the highest level of the Clinton administration."

So, if you take money from a Russian spy, and then give them State secrets, that constitutes espionage. On the other hand, if you are a politician or political party that takes millions from a Communist Chinese company, recognized as an espionage front, you get to be appointed as Secretary of State, elected as Senator, or trash the White House.
I blame the Republicans who chose to pursue impeachment proceedings over "intern-sex" instead of impeachment charges over treason. If they would have done their jobs, China would not have carte blanche' in regards to our State Department, or our Commerce Department.
McCarthy was concerned about the State department being infiltrated with Communists. Now they own the State Departrment, and perhaps the Democratic Party and White House! And Riyady has just been given back his VISA thanks to Hillary and Obama!
"Last year, however, the Indonesian mogul finally made it to Arkansas. He traveled there during the first of two previously unreported trips he made in 2009 to the United States. He was allowed in only after receiving a waiver from a rule that forbids entry to foreigners guilty of "a crime involving moral turpitude," a term that government lawyers generally interpret to include fraud.
Riady's return to the United States poses a prickly question for Hillary Clinton's State Department: How and why did a foreign billionaire stained by Clinton-era scandals get a U.S. visa after being kept out for so long under the Bush administration?" (source)
So, back to the millions of dollars that went into the Democratic Party and Bill Clinton:
"During the period of August 1992 through October 1992, shortly after Riady pledged $1 million in support of Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton's campaign for the Presidency of the United States, contributions made by Huang were reimbursed with funds wired from a foreign Lippo Group entity into an account Riady maintained at Lippo Bank and then distributed to Huang in cash. . .(Ibid)
And Espionage:
"The purpose of the contributions was to obtain various benefits from various campaign committees and candidates for Lippo Group and LippoBank, including: access, meetings, and time with politicians, elected officials, and other high-level government officials; contacts and status for Lippo Group and LippoBank with business and government leaders in the United States and abroad; business opportunities for Lippo Group and defendant LippoBank; government policies which would inure to the benefit of Lippo Group and defendant LippoBank, including Most Favored Nation status for China, open trade policies with Indonesia, normalization of relations with Vietnam, Community Reinvestment Act exemptions for LippoBank, a repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act which limited business opportunities for LippoBank, and a relaxation of Taiwanese restrictions on investment by foreign banks; the deposit of funds into LippoBank by political campaign committees and government agencies; and local government support for Lippo Group's California property development projects which would in turn benefit LippoBank's plans for expansion."
