WASHINGTON — Three months before the 2016 election, a small group gathered at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son. One was an Israeli specialist in social media manipulation. Another was an emissary for two wealthy Arab princes. The third was a Republican donor with a controversial past in the Middle East as a private security contractor.

The meeting was convened primarily to offer help to the Trump team, and it forged relationships between the men and Trump insiders that would develop over the coming months — past the election and well into President Trump’s first year in office, according to several people with knowledge of their encounters.

Erik Prince, the private security contractor and the former head of Blackwater, arranged the meeting, which took place on Aug. 3, 2016. The emissary, George Nader, told Donald Trump Jr. that the crown princes who led Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were eager to help his father win election as president. The social media specialist, Joel Zamel, extolled his company’s ability to give an edge to a political campaign; by that time, the firm had already drawn up a multimillion-dollar proposal for a social media manipulation effort to help elect Mr. Trump.

The company, which employed several Israeli former intelligence officers, specialized in collecting information and shaping opinion through social media.

A lawyer for Donald Trump Jr., Alan Futerfas, said in a statement that “prior to the 2016 election, Donald Trump Jr. recalls a meeting with Erik Prince, George Nader and another individual who may be Joel Zamel. They pitched Mr. Trump Jr. on a social media platform or marketing strategy. He was not interested and that was the end of it.”

Arab money rained down on the Clintons every which way but loose.

Saudi Royals greet then-Secy Hillary (she checks to make sure she's on-camera). The pay-to-play suck-up begins.

EXCLUSIVE: Persian Gulf Sheikhs Gave Bill & Hillary $100 Million [VIDEO]

A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton received at least $100 million from autocratic Persian Gulf states and their leaders, potentially undermining Democratic presidential candidate Hillary’s claim she can carry out independent Middle East policies.

As a presidential candidate, the amount of foreign cash the Clintons have amassed from the Persian Gulf states is “simply unprecedented,” says national security analyst Patrick Poole. “These regimes are buying access. You’ve got the Saudis. You’ve got the Kuwaitis, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. There are massive conflicts of interest. It’s beyond comprehension,” Poole told TheDCNF in an interview.

Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received upwards of $85 million in donations from five Persian Gulf states and their monarchs, according to the foundation’s website. Activist groups have charged the five states — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — committed numerous human rights abuses.

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

AND THIS---Course, this is just a wild guess on my part (smirk), but I don't think the Saudi Royals like being jerked around by a coupla hicks from Arkansas.

The Saudis put hundreds of millions into the Clintons pockets when she was Secy of State, thinking she'd be president. Must be a lot of nay-saying in the desert now that the Clintons are political dead meat.

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

Turns out the Saudis 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).

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 the Saudis, however.)

“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 reported on Monday that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet Obama admin officials to discuss US-Saudi ties.

It's May 19, 2018.

Go back exactly one year and remember what was happening on May 19, 2017.

In the days after Mueller was appointed as a special counsel, did you ever think we'd get to this point where we are witnessing the daily exposure of new facts related to the Obama administration's conspiracy against Donald J. Trump?

Some of here on FreeRepublic actually did.

[Revolutionary]

Don’t care! Ha Ha!!
The media can come up with any alligation and I still would not care. But if you do any harm to President Trump; Fire and Brimstone will rain down on your heads like you can’t imagine.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Big whoop, Hillary met with Mexicans who promised to help her win the election...

[Qiviut]

What .... no meetings of interest on the Clinton side of the ledger? Bill .... tarmac .... Loretta. Just for starters.

[M Kehoe]

So?

The amount of nothing burgers coming out of the msm is staggering.

Reminds me of McDonalds. Billions served.

Just goes to show, Trump was bringing Arabs and Israelis together even before he was elected!

Three months before the 2016 election, a small group gathered at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son. One was an Israeli specialist in social media manipulation [a Jewish advertiser]. Another was an emissary for two wealthy Arab princes [a muslim diplomat]. The third was a Republican donor with a controversial past in the Middle East as a private security contractor [a mercenary].

You can't get more diverse than this. I thought liberals liked diversity?

[JoSixChip]

did you ever think we'd get to this point where we are witnessing the daily exposure of new facts related to the Obama administration's

And those facts are being slowly fed to you one at a time. As each one is release, it is then dutifully justified by the msm and congress as having been the right thing to do at the time. Sure, maybe you are not buying it, but I bet the majority of American voters are.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Based on your comments devoid of any hope, bend over and kiss your rear goodbye and give up.

A Mercenary, Donald Trump Jr., a Jewish ad man and an Arab go into a bar...

[JoSixChip]

Based on your comments devoid of any hope, bend over and kiss your rear goodbye

Exactly, we are being slow walked to venezuela. It's a train wreak in slow motion,

[Taxman]

So, everyone in America who met with FRiends to help Trump win the election violated the law?

[buwaya]

So now its not Russian collusion, but Israeli-Arab collusion?

[Terry Mross]

Since the Bushes are no longer in office the Saudis are trying to find another president they can buy.

The IG report must be near going public

The propagandaists in the media are staring to pull the pins on the smoke grenades

Mueller’s Star Witness Against Trump Caught Partying at Exclusive Island Resort with Bill Clinton

The Clinton’s get busted again. It’s a never-ending saga that somehow always seems to out do itself.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is getting the cooperation of a Lebanese-American businessman with ties to Arab royalty in his probe of foreign influence on the Trump presidential campaign, including the possibility of a back channel between the Kremlin and the Trump transition team.
George Nader testified last week to the Mueller grand jury.

Mr. Nader is an adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan of Abu Dhabi, the de facto ruler of the United Arab Emirates. According to The Times, Mr. Mueller is investigating whether Emirati money found its way to the Trump campaign, which would be illegal.

That sounds very official and all but perhaps Mueller might ask his new star witness in the Trump investigation what he was doing partying on an exclusive island resort with Bill Clinton.

Especially when The Clinton’s have been caught helping fund the bogus Trump dossier which helped launch Mueller’s probe.

Optics here. Very bad.
And you haven’t even seen the all the pictures yet.
