“Sweden does not support implementing tighter financial sanctions on Iran” and believes “more stringent financial standards could hurt Swedish exports,” one such cable from 2009 alerted Mrs. Clinton’s office in Washington.Bottom line, The Clintons collected money from a Swedish company who wanted to continue doing business in Iran. The same Iran Hillary was tasked with rallying the world to sanction as result of their nuclear ambitions. Hillary put the Foundation interest ahead of US national interests.
Separately, U.S. intelligence was reporting that Sweden’s second-largest employer, telecommunications giant Ericsson AB, was pitching cellphone tracking technology to Iran that could be used by the country’s security services, officials told The Times.
By the time Mrs. Clinton left office in 2013, the Clinton Foundation Insamlingsstiftelse had collected millions of dollars inside Sweden for his global charitable efforts and Mr. Clinton personally pocketed a record $750,000 speech fee from Ericsson, one of the firms at the center of the sanctions debate.

"Clinton’s foundation cashed in as Sweden lobbied Hillary on sanctions"
"As the money flowed to the foundation from Sweden, Mrs. Clinton’s team in Washington declined to blacklist any Swedish firms despite warnings from career officials at the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm that Sweden was growing its economic ties with Iran and potentially undercutting Western efforts to end Tehran’s rogue nuclear program, diplomatic cables show."

"These are all just coincidences... there's no smoking gun. You can't prove anything." -- the hack press.
It's okay, because vagina.
auto-correct.
Will any of this disqualify her or lead to an indictment?
If this were anyone else, it would.
Apparently, all these little revelations are killing her in the polls.
there's all kinds of justice.
PS Insamlingsstiftelse?
Technically, they collected money (a lot of money) from a pair of technically private but practically government-controlled lottery companies which appear to be the favored piggy-banks for the Swedish favor machine, and State just happened to make things happen so that Swedish corporations were excluded from the sanctions lists against Iran, and Ericsson in particular in particular got a leg up on the competition by being the primary cellular firm not excluded from the Iranian market.
I doubt anyone will ever be able to nail down an actual explicit quid pro quo, it sounds like it's all handshake deals and cutouts. But damn, Billy Jeff was paying *attention* when he spent all those years at the knee of Owney Madden.
The Clintons have LLC's and bank accounts all over the place.
Would the Swedes be pissed if they know/knew how much they gave of their hard earned wealth to the clintons? Probably not, since they already give up more than 32% income tax + another 32% by the employer. Not to mention another 25% in VAT tax minus the exceptions. It's all money musical chairs.
