The pain and sorrow of losing her younger brother is obvious for Mrs. Clinton, but it is highly doubtful anyone over at the Clinton Foundation is shedding any tears. Especially now, with new reports coming out of Washington regarding a closer look at the sometimes questionable operation of that Charitable organization.
National Review Writer Brendan Bordelon's 2015 account of Tony Rodham's wheeling and dealing was actively put into motion the moment Bill Clinton was inaugurated as this nation's 42nd President.
According to Bordelon, "Sitting in a courtroom three years ago, after skipping out on a sizable legal bill, Hillary Rodham Clinton’s youngest brother struck a reassuring tone: Don’t worry, the money is coming.
“I deal through the Clinton Foundation,” Tony Rodham said, according to court transcripts uncovered by the New York Times. He gave his word that Hillary and Bill were setting him up with Haitian-government permits to build a $22 million housing development in the earthquake-stricken country.
“I hound my brother-in-law, because it’s his fund that we’re going to get our money from,” Rodham explained, promising a $1 million check once the Haitian-government paved the way, enough both to cover the outstanding legal fees and take his family to Disney World.
The construction deal fell through, but Rodham managed to settle his debt. And the next year, he got another crack at making money in Haiti’s heavily-regulated economy when he joined the advisory board of a company, VCS Mining, which was developing a gold mine on the island. He’d met the company’s CEO at a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative. “I go to see old friends [at the meetings,]” Rodham told the Washington Post, “but you never know what can happen.”
Bordelon's article echos our observations about Rodham jumping on the Clinton bandwagon before the first family had time to unpack at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
"From the moment the Clintons walked through the White House doors in January of 1993, Rodham has proven remarkably adept at harnessing their political horsepower for his personal gain. His schemes don’t always pan out, and they have caused numerous headaches for Hillary and Bill. But Rodham’s fortunes have always been tied to theirs, his bank account waxing and waning in time with the Clintons’ political prospects.
He may lack their sophistication, but to many observers, Tony is the unvarnished embodiment of the Clintons’ decades-long dance with crony capitalism." *

Tony Rodham's death is also a reminder of his myriad of 'get-rich-quick' schemes relying on the blessings (and funding) of his sister and brother-in-law's charitable money making machine, The Clinton Foundation.
This reminder couldn't come at a more inconvenient time for the Clintons. Not only did Hillary's embarrassing Presidential lose cut off a steady flow of millions of dollars flowing into the Foundation from foreign, and other sources. But, the never ending drum beat challenging Trump's victory, and orchestrated by Hillary, from the very first day following her defeat, has ironically forced investigators to take a closer look at the inter workings of Bill, Hillary AND daughter Chelsea's money grabbing monstrosity.
So, don't be taken in by those long faces you may see on display over at the Clinton Foundation. Tony Rodham being out of the way, so to speak, may end any possible answers he might have provided investigators, but his absence will undoubtedly force them to dig deeper into the financial dealings of Bill and Hillary Clinton, and of course, their personal savings account, and rainy day piggy bank fund, sometimes affectionately referred to as Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation, Clinton Climate Initiative, Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, Clinton Global Initiative,
Clinton Health Access Initiative, Clinton Health Matters Initiative, No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project Too Small to Fail, and maybe not last, but in honor of brother Tony's departure, The William J. Clinton Foundation.**
Stay tuned, folks.
