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.

When it comes to selling America out to its enemies: Chinese; Russians; Communism; Islamism; the Clintons have no equal, though Obama is a close second.


Former President Bill Clinton received $5.6 million in fees from a Dubai-based firm that teaches Sharia law through a network of more than 100 schools worldwide.

Clinton served as the honorary chairman of the company GEMS Education from 2011 to 2014, the Daily Caller reported this week, citing Clinton’s federal tax returns.

GEMS Education teaches Sharia law in over 100 schools around the world, including in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. One of the company’s schools, located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, taught 1,600 students in 2013. Saudi Arabia is known for enforcing Wahhabism, a fundamentalist view of Islam that strictly adheres to Sharia law.

Sharia law is an Islamic legal system that many in the West believe violates human rights and represses women and various minority groups.

Clinton’s biggest single paycheck from GEMS Education was a $2.1 million sum from 2014.

The Clinton Foundation also received millions of dollars from the company, accumulating between $1 million and $5 million total. The parent company of GEMS Education, the Varkey Foundation, contributed between $250,000 and $500,000. In 2013 and 2014, GEMS Education was an official sponsor of the Clinton Global Initiative, a part of the Clinton Foundation.

Clinton Received Millions From Sharia Law Teaching Firm


A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton received at least $100 million from autocratic Persian Gulf states and their leaders, potentially undermining Democratic presidential candidate Hillary’s claim she can carry out independent Middle East policies.

As a presidential candidate, the amount of foreign cash the Clintons have amassed from the Persian Gulf states is “simply unprecedented,” says national security analyst Patrick Poole.

“These regimes are buying access. You’ve got the Saudis. You’ve got the Kuwaitis, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. There are massive conflicts of interest. It’s beyond comprehension,” Poole told TheDCNF in an interview.

Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received upwards of $85 million in donations from five Persian Gulf states and their monarchs, according to the foundation’s website.

Perfect hiding place. Can do the most damage before anyone gets a clue. Entire world of cultural assumptions deny it without even looking at it.

She would be followed and imitated by millions of hands that rock the cradle...

... and look at all the morally bankrupt snowflakes...

Yes. Yes indeed it could come as a female.

Correct. In fact, the countries along the southern Persian Gulf (Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates) all use American-made arms anyway, so there was no need for the Clinton Foundation “pay to play” to buy American arms in the first place. It’s just another money-grubbing action by the graft scheme that is the Clinton Foundation.

Those who have time to dig through all these emails should be looking for the slime trail of Sid Vicious Blumenthal.

Oh my yes. The emails are turning up all sorts of corruption, including murder. I cannot imagine why they got away with THIS in Libya.

I envision our soldiers fighting wars on behalf of Clinton Foundation donors.... If we are not already.

There have been rumors floating around the darker corners of the Internet that is exactly what she did while at State. To what extent and which forces is yet to be seen.

IMPORTANT: The MSM and even the Trump campaign seems to have missed a critical point here:

The ruler of Bahrain should not have had any trouble getting an appt with the US Secy of State, actually. As the head of a friendly power hosting OUR 5TH FLEET he should have been granted direct access upon request. That’s a no-brainer.

Instead, he could not get the appt through “normal” State Dept channels and had to resort to pay-for-play in this particular case.

THAT is the scandal in this particular case, that a friendly foreign ruler had to pay off the Clintonistas privately in order to get access to a US public official that should have been a routine matter.

Hillary would get the USA nuked if someone would pay her 10 billion in advance.

Good point.

Her henchman, Booby Mook, said it’s no big deal her meeting donors b/c she met thousands of foreign dignitaries.

.But that as her job——meeting dignitaries.

The donor meetings were at her discretion....she culled the foundation donor list and met only with big buck donors.

This is HRC’s “$32 million smile and handshake”. What a criminal WHORE is Hillary!

At least a prostitute sells what is her personal property to sell.

HRC sells what does NOT belong to her in a criminal enterprise (i.e. RICO laws) with the beneficiaries being her inner circle of friends, family and like minded associates.

Disgraceful that this is what is vetted and approved as a POTUS candidate by the DNC and other Washington politicians and appointees.
