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.
I remember when the uSA was the leader of the free world. Now our leaders are puppets of world dictators (that we helped to create!)
Please let this become public information.
I believe Huma is licking the carpet...
Worse than just being the puppets of world dictators...our government is the puppets of Islam.
Did you mean to say
And that is why Hussein Obama endorsed Hillary.
If it’s not public information, how are we hearing about it? ;d
To the Clinton’s the “bottom line” is ALWAYS the bottom line. They are the poster kids for 1 Timothy 6:10.
They funded Obama too....at least from his second year at Columbia, through Harvard Law.
They have always been a real enemy to the USA.
Humiliating that I ever gave that POS the benefit of the doubt.
There he is ISIS and Clinton’s best paying costumer
Saudi Arabia Has Funded 20% Of Hillary’s Presidential Campaign, Saudi Crown Prince Claims>>>>>>>>>>>>
Does this not TRUMP alleged hacking by the Russians?
Jordan says hack led to posting of 'false news' that Saudi funds Clinton
Links between Saudi Arabia and the Clinton family are well reported.
The Podesta Group was initially contracted last year by the Centre for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court to be paid $200,000 a month to provide “public relations services” to Riyadh.
The Podesta Group was founded in 1988 by brothers John and Tony Podesta. John Podesta is the chair of Hillary Clinton’s campaign to become the next US president.
Saudi Arabia has donated millions to the Clinton family charity. 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.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment at the time of publication.
