Both of these are false.

was her bailing out Laura Silsby in Haiti after she was Caught trying to kidnap 30+ Children

Clinton did not bail out Laura Silsby in Haiti. Silsby served her time and was released by the Haitian courts. They dropped the kidnapping charges, I assume this was because she had verbal permission from the parents to take the children.

then using her State Department to bury a report of an Ambassador who was caught with minors.

This is false.

The ambassador was NEVER caught with minors, he wasn't caught with anyone.

Hillary Clinton was not involved in these cases at all. It involved the Diplomatic Security Services.

There was a leak to the press about this in 2013 and a bunch of stories came out, but very few followed up in 2014 when the Inspector General released his report. https://web.archive.org/web/20141017160310/http:/oig.state.gov/documents/organization/233250.pdf

The State Department later issued the ambassador an apology

The Inspector General's report makes clear there was no wrongdoing and that the allegations wrongfully leaked from internal OIG documents were in fact unsubstantiated. https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2014/10/24/state_departmentapologisestogutman-1-2128439/

The woman whose memo was leaked to the press was not involved in the case of the ambassador, she had not first-hand knowledge of it. She was reporting what she heard around the office.

The allegations was that the ambassador would ditch his security detail and go to a park that was known to have drug dealing and prostitution going on and was seen talking to possible criminals. Except when the scandal hit the front pages in Belgium they reported there were zero reports of any criminal activity in that park and that the Belgian security services often had surveillance on him and it turned up nothing. He also explained that the rules for Belgium in 2011 did not require an ambassador to travel with a security detail.

Here's his account.

Back in 2011, I had been called back to Washington to answer questions about reports that I had been seen without my security and possibly talking to drug dealers or prostitutes in the park on which we lived. I had explained to two senior State Department officials the rules in Belgium as to when ambassadors could be without security, and said I had talked to hundreds of people as I walked through the park over the years, but none was a drug dealer or prostitute that I knew of.

Wrong, stupid shill. Bill Clinton personally flew down to Haiti to negotiate her release 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, stupid pathetic SHILL!!! Trump is locking all of the evil sick satantic evil pedos that you work for. HAHAHAA Trump beat Hillary. You lost HAHAHAHAA

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.

AP News April 28

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.

AP News Feb 18

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

AP News Feb 21.

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/35507224/ns/world_news-haiti/t/parents-all-haitian-orphans-had-relatives/#.XLKTWehKg2w

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.

Trump is locking all of the evil sick satantic evil pedos that you work for.

Wow, you're insane.

Yes, I am.

I'm saying the woman and her lawyer who went to the press in 2013 when the investigations were still in progress and got a ton of press. In fact, it seemed like a coordinated campaign specifically to be anti-Clinton which is why the NY Post got first crack at it and put it a hard partisan spin on it, but like I said earlier, she didn't work any of these cases

The woman whose memo was leaked to the press was not involved in the case of the ambassador, she had not first-hand knowledge of it. She was reporting what she heard around the office.

The Post coverage set the tone for the other coverage.

The IG investigated and their report came out in 2014 and there was very little follow up. ABC put added a followup to their story, but the dry IG report which didn't name names didn't get the splash of the original.
