IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor's Business Daily -- Clinton's Filthy Lucre: "a New York Times report details a 2005 incident of Clinton and a minor Canadian mining financier jetting into Kazakhstan, where the two met with the local strongman. Shortly afterward, Clinton's pal won a huge uranium-mining contract that left competing mining companies astounded.
Anything untoward? Clinton says of course not. After all, doesn't every ex-president jet in to Central Asia from time to time to check up on his charity projects and sample the gourmet cuisine? Nothing to see here, move along.
But the story doesn't end there. Clinton's friend, Frank Giustra, eventually ended up a billionaire from that 'lucky' trip. He then donated $31.3 million to Clinton's $208 million foundation as its largest donor in 2006. Any connection? Nada, Clinton's defenders say.
Who doesn't think something fishy is going on?"
