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.

Whatever happened to the AWAC planes of 1982?
So Saudi-Arabia would like to rule USA ?
They already began with obama and his Secretary of State....Ill Clinton .
They want more !
Clinton for Prison, 2016.
That fact alone should disqualify her. Even without her criminal behavior.
Bump for Reference!
Damn, the endorsements for Trump just keep on coming.
We live in corrupt times...our government is criminal.
I believe it is illegal to accept foreign funds for a political campaign in the United States.
Not that ever deters Clinton or Obama. I’d like to see Chris Christie prosecute Hillary on this issue.
Add it to the list of illegal actions on her part.

She had to get Saudia Arabia’s permission before she said anything. That’s why her remarks yesterday were only about guns and hate.
I finally had to agree with Michael Moore about the Bushes. Now if he could only see the same in the Clintons.
The words Hillary and pillory sound so good together. Too bad that punishment is no longer in favor for ne’er do wells such as her.
Well, if LaVoy Finicum did it, they'd shoot him for "resisting arrest".
In Hillary's case, the fibbies check with Huma to see how many extra agents Hillary needs to turn down her sheets, put the special mints on her pillow, and wipe the toilet bowl down good after she leaves for her next campaign stop.
Wonder if the fibbie "cleaners" are allowed to use a vacuum, or do they have to lick her hotel room carpets clean "manually"...
BTTT
I think millions have lost faith in the ferrules.
In my opinion, Hillary MUST BE held to account. If not, “the rule of law” is dead.
the Bushes rich too. I will be so glad the day that the Bushes and Clintons are exorcised from our national politics.
This pathetic psycho bitch will complete the destruction of America if elected...
Hillary’s War on Women.
Can he tell us how much he funded Obama’s?
