The following analysis is part of an ongoing research effort and may be supplemented or revised based on such comments and information as may be provided.

To understand the legal deficiencies in the organizational structure of the Clinton Foundation (the legal name of which is the "Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation," hereafter "CF") it is necessary to consider (A) two types of corporate governance documents:
  1. Articles of Incorporation (originally filed with the AR Secty of State in 1997, AofI)
  2. Bylaws (Byl)
And (B) the laws of two jurisdictions:
  1. State of Arkansas
  2. US Federal Law (IRS regulations, but also its policies as well as such instructions and conditions the IRS imposed on CF in making its initial determination of CF's status as what is known as a 501c3 non-profit).
In addition, there are numerous other jurisdictions (States in the US but also foreign countries) with laws and regulations affecting, among other things, activities of and disclosures by CF. Yet, such laws and regulations are subordinated in importance relative to (A) and (B).

Comment: Patricia Negron : "The Clinton Foundation has never been a legally registered entity. Other foundations that have made gifts to it are obligated to ask for their money back or they will be liable for the taxes due, penalties & interest."

The veterans association of the USS Liberty, the intelligence ship attacked by Israel during the 1967 war, issued a press release this week reporting that the American Legion, "the nation's largest wartime veterans service organization," approved a resolution at its convention last week calling on Congress to investigate the June 8 attack, which killed 34 sailors and injured scores more.

"It is a very significant vote because the American Legion has looked at us with disdain and dishonor for years, and we didn't deserve it," Ernest Gallo, a communications technician on the Liberty and the president of the veterans association, tells me.

Gallo said that the American Legion leadership has repeatedly stuffed resolutions calling on Congress to investigate the attack - an investigation the government has never undertaken - but that at the convention in Reno last week there was a grassroots groundswell, and the measure passed. "They were doing their best to stop it when someone from Iowa stood up and spoke up for it, and whatever he said, the rest of them got on board and it passed," Gallo said.

Republican Rep Dana Rohrabacher has claimed he and President Donald Trump will "rendezvous" so he can relay information he received from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on the Democratic National Committee hack last year.

"It is my understanding from other parties who are trying to arrange a rendezvous with myself and the president, it's being arranged for me to give him the firsthand information," Rohrabacher told Sean Hannity on his radio show Monday.

Rohrabacher met with Assange earlier this month and discussed the DNC email breach that took place last spring during a three-hour meeting at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

Assange "emphatically stated that the Russians were not involved in the hacking or disclosure of those emails," Rochrabacher told the Hill at the time. "Julian also indicated that he is open to further discussions regarding specific information about the DNC email incident that is currently unknown to the public."

DHS warning to Charlottesville officials about Antifa violence crushes governor's false narrative

Governor Terry McAuliffe's efforts to evade responsibility for the shocking violence at Charlottesville just got even more implausible. He and local authorities were warned, and yet allowed, if not forced, the two violence-prone parties into such close proximity that violence was a near certainty.

Josh Meyer reports in Politico:
The Department of Homeland Security issued a confidential warning to law enforcement authorities three days before the deadly Aug. 12 Charlottesville protest rally, saying that an escalating series of clashes had created a powder keg that would likely make the event "among the most violent to date" between white supremacists and anarchists.
The warning issued to state and city officials was clear that the violence in Charlottesville would come, as President Trump was widely criticized for saying, from "both sides." As quoted by Politico, the DHS assessment issued three days ahead of the Charlottesville incident read, "Anarchist extremists and white supremacist extremists online are calling on supporters to be prepared for or to instigate violence at the 12 August rally."

This raises more serious questions about the culpability of Charlottesville and Virginia public officials, who appear to be engaged in a game of semantics about whether a "stand down" order was issued to police that day, leading to escalation of the violence between left-wing Antifa and neo-Nazis.

'There is no military option for US and N. Korea, both sides are posturing'

The media has presented the situation as North Korea threatening the US and Trump firing back and threatening to go to war with them. We've lost the reality in the background of this; a conflict is not viable, says investigative journalist Gareth Porter.

President Trump responded to the reported improved missile capabilities of the DPRK by saying "All options are on the table," refusing to rule out military options signaling a possible US military escalation.

RT America's Anya Parampil spoke to national security policy analyst, investigative journalist Gareth Porter to discuss his latest article "Can the US and North Korea move from threats to negotiations?" and the possibility of further military escalation and even confrontation between the US and the "hermit kingdom."

US deploys B-1Bs and F-35s to Korea in 'unprecedented' show of force

A day after President Donald Trump finally broke his silence on North Korea after the isolated nation twice provoked its geopolitical adversaries in the span of just four days, Yonhap is reporting that the US sent four F-35B stealth jets and two nuclear-capable B-1B strategic bombers to train with South Korea's F-15K fighter jets over the Korean Peninsula on Thursday in what it described as an "unprecedented" escalation of the allies' military response to N.Korea's provocations.

Thursday's air-to-ground precision-strike drills were conducted a mock bombing drill, which simulated a surgical strike of key enemy facilities, over the Pilsung Range in the eastern province of Gangwon.

The "unprecedented" combined maneuver involved the F-35Bs from Japan and the long-range bombers based in Guam as well as a squadron of four F-15Ks, Yonhap said.

They used MK-84, MK-82 and GBU-32 bombs, according to Yonhap. In a statement, US Pacific Command said the flyover was a "direct response to North Korea's intermediate range ballistic missile launch."

"North Korea's actions are a threat to our allies, partners and homeland, and their destabilizing actions will be met accordingly," said Gen. Terrence O'Shaughnessy, commander of Pacific Air Forces.

As Brexit negotiations go nowhere, insults are flying

The third round of Brexit talks, which come to a close on Thursday, have been marked by insults and acrimony between the two negotiating sides.

The EU has accused Britain of being ill-prepared, ambiguous in its position, and not taking negotiations seriously, while the UK has warned it could simply walk away if the EU does not show some flexibility.

From the outside, talks appear deadlocked, with the UK and EU failing to make progress in any of the key areas.

Intense conversations on Tuesday and Wednesday underlined how the biggest stumbling block is the UK's financial liabilities, or "divorce bill," with Britain and the EU opposed over how to calculate the settlement.

Other issues, including whether Britons will keep their European Health Insurance Cards and what happens to the movement of British goods immediately after Brexit, are also believed to be causing difficulty.

The limited progress of the latest round of talks comes amid ramped up criticism of Britain by the EU.

Theresa May says she'll remain in power as prime minister "for the long term" and intends to lead the Conservatives into the next general election, despite her disastrous showing in the last one.

Speaking during a visit to Japan, May said she is not a "quitter" and that she would lead the Tories into the next vote in 2022.

But the voices in her own party are already ringing out, and there is a trail of evidence suggesting she could struggle to hold on.

Hundreds of migrants sleep in the shadow of high-rises in downtown Brussels, raising fears in the EU capital of a new "Jungle", similar to the dismantled camp in Calais.

Each night, the young migrants -- mostly Sudanese and Eritreans -- take over Parc Maximilien, a sliver of green space adjacent to the gritty Gare du Nord station where trains depart for Belgium's North Sea coast.

As in the French port of Calais, the dream of most here is getting to Britain.

The young men, gathered just three kilometres (two miles) from European Union headquarters, have survived a long and dangerous journey -- through North Africa, across the Mediterranean and the gauntlet of police checks set up to catch them throughout southern Europe.
