Bill Clinton personally flew down to Haiti to negotiate her release
He did not. He flew to Haiti as a special representative for the UN. And he flew home when she was still in Jail. Her trial didn't happen until months later. Lawyers for the Baptists called on the State Department to get involved and they were turned down. Baptists leaders and conservative reporters called upon president Obama to intervene and they turned them all down. They

and had her charges dropped from serious trafficking charges to a minor slap on the wrist penalty and she did not have the permission of the children's parents which is why she was arrested and charged with trafficking
She did have permission which is why the judge, not Bill Clinton, changed the charges.
The judge who dropped kidnapping charges against Laura Silsby and nine other U.S. missionaries said Tuesday he did so because the children they were trying to take out of Haiti were all given over freely by their parents.
But Silsby, the group's leader, will be tried on a lesser charge of arranging illegal travel because she knew she had no right to take the 33 children out of earthquake-ravaged Haiti, the judge said.

Judge Bernard Saint-Vil said eight of the 10 missionaries were free to leave without bail because parents of the children had testified they voluntarily gave their children to the missionaries believing the Americans would give them a better life.
"The parents gave their kids away voluntarily," Saint-Vil said in explaining his decision. https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/8-Missionaries-Freed-by-Haitian-Judge-Arrive-in-Miami-84677172.html
A reporter's visit Saturday to the rubble-strewn Citron slum, where 13 of the children lived, led to their parents, all of whom said they turned their youngsters over to the missionary group voluntarily in hopes of getting them to safety.
Similar explanations were given by parents in the mountain town of Callabas, outside Port-au-Prince, who told the AP on Feb. 3 that desperation and blind faith led them to hand over 20 children to the Baptist group.
Since the arrest of the missionaries at the border on Jan. 30, the parents in Citron have been worrying they may never see their children again. One mother who gave up her four children, including a 3-month-old, is in a trancelike depression, occasionally erupting into fits of hysteria.
Her husband and other parents in Citron said they relinquished their children to the U.S. missionaries because they were promised safekeeping across the border in a newly established orphanage in the Dominican Republic.
Their stories contradict the missionaries' still-jailed leader, Laura Silsby, who told the AP the day after her arrest that the children were either orphans or came from distant relatives.
