MORE HILLARY PAY-TO-PLAY REVEALED

Meeting for royal only via foundation

Newly released e-mails show that even a royal head of state couldn’t get face time with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton until he contacted the Clinton Foundation — and then he secured an appointment within 48 hours.

When Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain was in the United States in June 2009, Doug Band, who used to help oversee the foundation, wrote to Clinton’s closest aide, Huma Abedin, that he was seeking a meeting with the secretary of state.

“Asking to see her[.] Good friend of ours,” Band explained.

Abedin said the crown prince had already tried to set up a meeting through official channels, but Clinton wasn’t sure she wanted to make any plans.

“He asked to see hrc thurs and fri thru normal channels,” she wrote back.

“I asked and she said she doesn’t want to commit to anything for thurs or fri until she knows how she will feel. Also she says that she may want to go to ny and doesn’t want to be committed to stuff in ny . . .”

But just two days later, Abedin changed her tune, saying Clinton would sit down with Salman.

“Offering Bahrain [crown prince] 10 tomorrow for meeting woith [sic] hrc,” she wrote on June 25, 2009. “If u see him, let him know[.] We have reached out thru official channels.”

According to the Clinton Foundation’s Web site, Salman established the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Program through the Clinton Global Initiative in 2005.

By 2010, he had given some $32 million. The Kingdom of Bahrain also reportedly gave between $50,000 and $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Bahrain Petroleum gave an additional $25,000 to $50,000.

The e-mails, which were released as part of an ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Judicial Watch, also show that Band’s shameless requests for State Department help for major foundation donors even made Abedin jittery.

In May 2009, he asked her to intervene so a British soccer player facing a criminal charge could secure a visa for a “celebration break” in Las Vegas.

“I doubt we can do anything but maybe we can help with an interview. I’ll ask,” she wrote to Band on May 5, 2009.

“Makes me nervous to get involved, but I’ll ask,” she wrote in a follow-up e-mail.

Band was acting at the behest of Hollywood sports exec Casey Wasserman, who has donated between $5 million and $10 million to the foundation.

The request came after Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) refused to help, the e-mails show.

After Abedin expressed her hesitation in getting involved, Band sent a curt reply: “Then don’t.”

The soccer player never got the visa, a spokes-

woman for Wasserman said.

In response to the e-mails, the Clinton campaign defended the Democratic nominee’s past behavior as secretary of state.

“Once again, this rightwing organization that has been going after the Clintons since the 1990s is distorting facts to make ut- terly false attacks,” spokesman Josh Schwerin said.

“No matter how this group tries to mischaracterize these documents, the fact remains that Hillary Clinton never took action as secretary of state because of donations to the Clinton Foundation.”

Bill Clinton e-mailed Clinton Foundation supporters Monday to say he’d leave the charity — but remain supportive — if his wife wins the White House.

“While I will continue to support the work of the Foundation, I will step down from the Board and will no longer raise funds for it,” the former president wrote.

Bill Clinton also said the foundation “will accept contributions only from U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and U.S.-based independent foundations, whose names we will continue to make public on a quarterly basis.”

Donald Trump on Monday called for a special prosecu- tor to probe the foundation.

“The Justice Department is required to appoint an independent special prosecutor because it has proven itself to be a political arm of the White House,” he said at a rally in Ohio.

So much for Hillary Clinton’s claim to have handed in all of her work e-mails: Turns out the FBI found another 14,900 — meaning she “missed” at least a third of what the law required her to fork over. It’ll be weeks before the public learns anything about what’s in that dump — but Monday brought plenty of dirt from yet another stash of e-mails, ones that top Hillary aide Huma Abedin sent or received on her clintonemail and other non-State accounts.

Brought to light by the good folks at Judicial Watch, these show new cases of special attention for big Clinton Foundation donors.

In 2009, for example, the crown prince of Bahrain wanted a sitdown with the secretary of state — but couldn’t get it through “normal channels,” as Abedin wrote.

So he asked the foundation’s then-chief, Doug Band, for help. Presto! A quick reminder to Huma that the prince was a “good friend of ours” (he’d donated millions) and the prince got his meeting within 48 hours.

SlimFast king Danny Abraham, who also gave millions, similarly got a meeting with the secretary via the Band-Abedin channel. Indeed, judging by Clinton’s own e-mails in the thread, she even delayed her plane’s takeoff to make the sitdown possible.

Other donors got action via direct appeal to Abedin: For example, 75-grand-giver Maureen White wrote, “I am going to be in DC on Thursday. Would she have any time to spare?” Huma’s reply: “Yes I’ll make it work.”

Doug Band went on to found the “consulting” firm Teneo Inc. — the (explicitly) forprofit arm of Clinton Inc. And Abedin, in an unprecedented setup OK’d by Secretary Clinton, then got to draw simultaneous paychecks from State, Teneo and the foundation.

All par for the course for a crew that can’t tell the difference between the people’s business and their own.

Or between right and wrong.
