This article is well worth a read. No honest, self-respecting American can disagree with the points being made here.

What is being described here is treason.

Why Did the Saudi Regime and Other Gulf Tyrannies Donate Millions to the Clinton Foundation?

Because they understand how corruption works, and have for millenia....................

Anybody want to make a bet that if Hillary loses in November, she suddenly decides that she needs to move to a really warm and dry climate ‘for health’ reasons.................

Better question: Why didn’t they form their own charities?

It charity was genuinely what they wanted.

Wasn’t the State Department holding up the XXL pipeline deal from Canada into the US? For four years?

We all know now that foreign governments gave many millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation for special access and preferential deals. But, I want to know when some intrepid investigator will compare the foreign “charitable” contributions to those made by the same countries to OTHER American charities like Red Cross, United Way, etc. during her time as Secretary of State. I suspect that number is 0,

The don’t expect anything in return/sarc.

For bribes. They call it “access”, which is still a bribe if someone gets something from you in return for cash.

This is also why I like Trump. He is richer than most Saudis he will encounter and wont be impressed with a briefcase full of cash. Trump ain’t working on his retirement fund.

I understand that Oman, Qatar, and Djibouti fall into that category. Oh, also that they have no extradition treaty with the United States.

Co-inky-dinky, I'm sure.

Although I didn’t read the article at the link, my guess would be to keep placing tighter controls and regulations on our domestic oil and gas to keep their economies propped up.

[ZULU]

BINGO!!

[Semper911]

Why didn’t they form their own charities?

The article discusses that. Why the Clinton Foundation and not other charities that do similar work? The answer is obvious.

[ZULU]

BINGO!!

....and she ‘suddenly’ converts to Islam, on Huma’s ‘advice’...............

[Red Badger]

One of the Five Pillars of Islam, Charity, seems to be the least ‘popular’ one.................

[nomorelurker]

Just dawned on me that if Gaddafi had donated millions he might still be alive. If Assad had donated he might not be fighting a civil war.
