Boeing Refuses to Release Emails With Clinton Foundation

On the heels of a suspicious deal between General Electric (GE) the Clinton Foundation, and the State Department, a national group and some shareholders are demanding the aerospace giant release it's dealings with the controversial foundation.

The Clinton Foundation continues to dominate headlines week after week, as Hilary and Bill Clinton face a wide variety of allegations. While the Clinton Foundation HAS done a lot of good work in AIDS relief in third-world countries and promoting democracy, numerous financial experts say the Clinton's have used it to make themselves rich.

According to a Wall Street financial analyst, the Clinton Foundation is an elaborate scheme designed to make them rich. Charles Ortel, a respected analyst and expert, points to numerous compliance, reporting and other financial issues. Ortel said this about the Foundation:

"Ortel contends, the Clintons have defrauded an unsuspecting international public of hundreds of millions of dollars for personal gain."

Now, the National Center for Public Policy (NCPP) and it's Executive Director David Almasi, who are both Boeing shareholders, are demanding the company release all it's emails pertaining to it's donation to the Clinton Foundation, the State Department, and how the company obtained a lucrative Russian contract.

Part of the NCPP demand stems from a request made to GE over a similar donation to the Foundation, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton helping the company obtain a contract for a power plant in Algeria.

Almasi believes the company is hiding something, and while Boeing officials say there was nothing wrong with their donation or dealings, Almasi says their refusal to release the emails sheds suspicion on Boeing.

Boeing, in the last year, went to the Securities and Exchange Commission to fight a shareholder demand for more transparency in their charitable donations.

Because of their dealings with the Clinton Foundation, the obtaining of the Russian contract potentially by way of dealings with the State Department while Hillary was Secretary of State, and Boeing's refusal to release any emails or information, the NCPP believes the company could have committed what is called "honest services fraud." It's definition is provided by the Duhaime Legal Dictionary:

"The honest services fraud theory as applied to public officials holds that a public official stands in a fiduciary relationship with the public, and can commit honest services fraud by breaching fiduciary duties in the course of that relationship, such as by theft, accepting a bribe, or concealing a financial conflict of interest."

Boeing's dealings with Secretary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and the contract, says the NCPP could potentially constitute this fraud.
