In what may be the pinnacle of hypocrisy, moments ago Hillary Clinton, while speaking live on national security and addressing the Orlando shooting took some time from her constant bashing of the Second Amendment and calling for a ban on assault rifles, to say some less than kind words about Saudi Arabia whom it accused of supporting radical organizations. This is what she said:
The third area that demands attention is preventing radicalization and countering efforts by ISIS and other international terrorist networks to recruit in the United States and Europe. For starters, it is long past time for the Saudis, the Qataris and the Kuwaitis and others to stop their citizens from funding extremist organizations. And they should stop supporting radical schools and mosques around the world that have set too many young people on a path towards extremism. We also have to use all our capabilities to counter jihadist propaganda online. This is something that I spend a lot of time on at the State Department.
There is nothing wrong with that statement, as it is the whole truth - Saudi Arabia's involvement in supporting terrorism stretches from Sept 11 all the way through to ISIS - however, where there is a big, and potentially law-breaking, problem is what Jordan's official news agency, Petra News Agency, reported on Sunday citing the Saudi crown price, namely that Saudi Arabia is a major funder of Hillary Clinton’s campaign to become the next president of the United States.
As MEE notes, the Petra News Agency published on Sunday what it described as exclusive comments from Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman which included a claim that Riyadh has provided 20 percent of the total funding to the prospective Democratic candidate's campaign.

As a reminder, 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.

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.
Hillary represents Saudi Arabia. Trump represents the American People.
Is she on the Isis payroll also?
bump
...and 0bama.
This is precisely why the Norquist wing of the GOP is fine with electing Hillary.
Hillary - “This is old news besides everybody does it”.
Trump should tie to tie Hillary to the Bushes. The vast majority of the electorate still don’t like W, so if he can convince people that Hillary and W are more alike than not, that would be a winner.
Thought it was illegal to accept foreign donations for political campaigns.
Are the Saudis in a bidding war with the Chinese government?
If the Saudis are kicking in 20%, the Chinese will probably want tie-breaker influence with President Shrillary, in case they bump heads with Saudis/muslims later.
In the 1990s, the Chinese were the big foreign funders of the Clintons. I wonder if foreign funding in total now outstrips their domestic fundraising?
That gig as Secretary of State has really been milked as a cash cow for the Clinton crime family.

Saudi Arabia is same dictatorship funding Hillary Obama and many mosques in USA with rabidly anti- American preachers ( serve as enemy staging sites for recruiting more terrorists to attack us, etc).
Wonder what is the balance of trade in this relationship?
Is the Arab money flowing to the Clinton Crime Family offset by Clinton money earmarked for Omar the Tentmaker to fashion Hillary’s large tunics? The tent...er, tunic that Hillary wore for a speech on income inequality cost north of $12,000.
I also thought many things were illegal, such as:
Insider trading in cattle futures.
Fraudulent land investment schemes.
Concealing evidence from subpoenas.
Improperly accessing FBI files.
Stealing documents from the National Archives.
Stealing items from the White House.
Accepting bribes in return for official favors.
Compromising national security by unlawfully disseminating classified information.
Apparently, these things are not illegal. If your name is "Clinton," that is.
You forgot cocaine addict
And probley funded Obama
The wife of the rapist never left the dark side!!!
That’s against federal law, foreign donations to a presidential campaign.
