Hillary Approved Arms Sales After Big Donations from Bahrain
breitbart.com ^ | 24 Aug 2016 | John Hayward

One of the more eyebrow-raising stories from the Clinton Foundation “pay to play” scandal is Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain – whose kingdom donated up to $150,000 directly to the Foundation, plus another $32 million to the Clinton Global Initiative – securing a meeting with the Secretary of State, after which she approved some highly controversial arms sales to Bahrain.

...

Included among the Abedin-Band emails is an exchange revealing that when Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain requested a meeting with Secretary of State Clinton, he was forced to go through the Clinton Foundation for an appointment. Abedin advised Band that when she went through “normal channels” at State, Clinton declined to meet. After Band intervened, however, the meeting was set up within forty-eight hours.

She should not have taken one dime of contributions while Secretary of State from any country that had business with the United States. This is corruption on the highest scale.

Imagine you board a public bus:

You drop some coins in the pay box at the top of the steps, then sit down expectingly.

The bored driver with folded arms doesn’t budge, staring at you evenly through the overhead mirror. He lets out a scoff, still not moving:

Conceding defeat and knowing the world, you walk over and tuck a fiver in his shirt pocket.

He promptly starts the bus and off you go.

THAT IS BUS DRIVER HILLARY.

She’s hired in a formal role, but only WORKS for the people who PAY her.

Aiding and abetting ALL of our enemies, committing espionage, treason, obstruction, lawlessness, contempt, etc. every day, without a care in the world.

Selling out OUR Nation for what amounts to Chump Change! That is the Clinton Crime Syndicate Modus Operandi.

Go, Trump, GO!

Bahrain ...donated ... $150,000 directly to the Foundation, plus another $32 million to the Clinton Global Initiative – securing a meeting with the Secretary of State, after which she approved some highly controversial arms sales to Bahrain.

There are only two dots to connect, and with a perfectly straight line.

Using numbers quoted in the article, it looks like the xlintonista regime’s crime moll was carving out about 5% vig for her services.

quo in this case was the $630,000,000 arms sale she approved to bahrain x 5% vig = $31,5000,000!

They figure we’re a corrupt, 3rd world-type autocracy where the right person has to ‘greased’.
And under Hillary Clinton that would be a fair assessment.

the Clintons always want the money upfront so it should be easy to find all their deals

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the State Department the sole agency holding up the approval of the XXL pipeline deal. Did the Saudis pay Hillary to stall that as well?

Arms sales were under the DOD until the Clintons couldn't get their way. They shifted weapons sales from the DOD to State back in 1993 so they could fast track sales to their Indonesian and Chinese "Donors" back then.

That's why Ron Brown got the hit. He was too chatty.

Nothing this couple does is new. They were selling America back in the 90’s. It’s extremely well documented. They are just bigger and bolder now.

Bahrain is a POS little Arab island Nation in the Persian Gulf that for all intents should be part of Saudi Arabia.

They have some oil and nothing else.

Their GDP is a paltry $64.8 billion, US.

What “Arms” are they buying?

Defensive weapons?

Defense against who?

The Saudis, Qatar or maybe Iran?

Who is selling them these weapons?

Are the arms sellers also Clinton Foundation donors?
