Hillary Clinton’s State Department calendar is missing 75 entries

  It is becoming more and more obvious to me that Hillary Clinton used the State Department for her own personal gain. The State Department and the Clinton Foundation seem to have been intertwined, if you want favors from the former the best way to make sure you get them is to make donations to the latter. What better way to meet with the most influential people in the world than to do so under the guise of official business while getting taxpayer funded transportation?

  But of course the official State Department calendar might lead people to ask questions if they saw her meeting with donors and Clinton Foundation contributors too many times so why go through the hassle of writing everything down when you can just meet in secrecy and avoid all questions about the possibility you are using the State Department for profit? That is what Hillary Clinton seems to have decided because according to this story the former Secretary of State omitted 75 meetings from the State Department calendar. Here is more:

An Associated Press review of the official calendar Hillary Clinton kept as secretary of state identified at least 75 meetings with longtime political donors, Clinton Foundation contributors and corporate and other outside interests that were not recorded or omitted the names of those she met.

The fuller details of those meetings were included in files the State Department turned over to the AP after it sued the government in federal court.

The missing entries raise new questions about how Clinton and her inner circle handled government records documenting her State Department tenure — in this case, why the official chronology of her four-year term does not closely mirror the other, more detailed records of her daily meetings.

 At a time when Clinton’s private email system is under scrutiny by an FBI criminal investigation, the calendar omissions reinforce concerns that she sought to eliminate the “risk of the personal being accessible” — as she wrote in an email exchange that she failed to turn over to the government but was subsequently uncovered in a top aide’s inbox.

The names of at least 114 outsiders who met with Clinton were missing from her calendar, the records show.

In one key omission, Clinton’s State Department calendar dropped the identities of a dozen major Wall Street and business leaders who met with her during a private breakfast discussion at the New York Stock Exchange in September 2009, The meeting occurred minutes before Clinton appeared in public at the exchange to ring the market’s ceremonial opening bell.
