My whole life I’ve been reading articles about how the Saudis are going to diversify and stop being dependent on oil revenue and it never happens.

The Saudis admitted they donated 30% of Clinton's campaign funds so they blew about 320 million bucks to try to get Hillary elected.

=======================================

Saudi Royals sucked-up like there was no tomorrow. Turns out they helped stage Hillary's election night "victory"---giving her a huge expensive flat screen TV supposedly to air her crashing through a symbolic 500,000 dollar glass ceiling. (This from a kingdom where women are not allowed to drive). Did Hillary report the gift to the FEC?

Saudi Arabia Funded 20% Of Hillary's Presidential Campaign, Saudi Crown Prince Claims Zerohedge ^ | Jun 14, 2016 3:57 AM | Tyler Durden / FR Posted by xzins

(NOTE: It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to try to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped Hillary or the Saudis, however.)

THE PRINCE SPEAKS: “Saudi Arabia provided with full enthusiasm 20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clinton’s election"......the report quoted Saudi Prince Mohammed as having said. According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million.

The Saudi Press Agency then reported that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet Obama admin officials to discuss US-Saudi ties.

--SNIP--

Links between Saudi Arabia and the Clinton family, including with Hillary’s campaign, are well reported. In 2008, it was revealed that the Gulf kingdom had donated between $10m and $25m to the Clinton Foundation, a charity set up by Hillary’s husband and former US President Bill Clinton.

Last year the Centre for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court paid public relations firm the Podesta Group $200,000 for a month-long project to provide “public relations services”. The Podesta Group was founded in 1988 by brothers John and Tony Podesta. John Podesta is the chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

===============================================

POINTS TO PONDER Obama's cut of the Saudi monies must have been substantial. B/c Pres Obama and Secy Hillary Clinton approved record billions in arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

============================================


Then-Secy Hillary lands in Saudi Arabia (checks to make sure she's on camera)----
the play-to-play suck-up begins.

===============================================

Sure would like to be a fly in the camel tent. Must be lotsa bad-mouthing in the desert seeing that Americans turned the Clintons into political dead meat. "height=399">
