Yunus faced multiple charges of financial improprieties, including accusations in a Danish documentary that he diverted $100 million from Grameen and transferred them toward his own entities. The charges sparked an immediate uproar in the impoverished country where the per capita annual income is about $1,000.
The documents show Clinton deployed an array of high-powered Department of State, U.S. Embassy and World Bank officials to rescue Yunus, who faced financial mismanagement charges at a state-owned bank called Grameen Bank. He was eventually removed from the bank.
Clinton repeatedly and directly threatened Bangladesh on behalf of Yunus, warning Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina that the World Bank could revoke a previously approved $1.2 billion loan to build a key bridge over the Padma River.
At a reception at Ambassador Moriarty’s official residence, the assistant secretary “emphatically” declared Yunus should remain head of Grameen Bank. Otherwise, Blake said it could trigger Washington actions that “may adversely affect our two countries’ bilateral relations.”
In one phone conversation, “he was very, very insistent and it was made very clear that there would be consequences if we did not oblige,” she said.

Except trump runs every law enforcement branch and Hillary Clinton is still not in jail or has had ANY charges pressed...
And never will ..
Because if there were ANY evidence of such trump would be on tv screaming about it to distract away from his dealings with Russia..

If you know the Clintons, you can pressure an entire government to drop corruption investigations into your shady dealings. Kind of reminds us of Haiti. Highlights below

Our system is so broken our politicians don't need to break the law to pillage society..
They can legally insider trade, pay for play AND get paid 400k to give a speech...
Why would they ever make their money any other way???
