Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team is now purportedly looking into whether the United Arab Emirates, with perhaps help from a top adviser, tried to gain political influence by putting money into Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign -- a tack that would indicate Mueller’s investigation continues to expand beyond whether campaign officials colluded with Russia.
Mueller’s investigators in recent weeks have questioned the adviser, Lebanese-American businessman George Nader, and asked witnesses for information about whether the UAE tried to buy political influence by giving money to the Trump campaign, according to The New York Times.
Nader has been a frequent visitor to the Trump White House. And the president has praised the UAE for the Persian Gulf nation’s efforts to work with the United States on economic issues and squashing terrorism in the region, thanking Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed for his efforts just last week, according to the White House.

Network Owner Haim Saban’s unabashed support for Hillarys election effort segued into (surprise) a partnership between Univision and the Clinton Family Foundation.
====================================================
NY POST EXCERPT---Saban's Univision recently trotted out Bill Clinton to talk to advertisers----as private equity owners of the debt-laden company sweat it out. Univision’s owners are hoping to launch the IPO in just weeks.
Getting early commitments on ad spending from Madison Avenue would certainly make an IPO road show before potential investors that much easier....they hope to raise around $1 billion at a valuation of $20 billion, according to Reuters. (Univision has $9 billion in long-term debt.)
Mexican program provider Televisa also has an 8 percent stake.Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank — the lead underwriters — are getting ready to gin up some sizzle for a not very sexy Univision business: called free-to-air.
THE BIG BURRITO---HILLARY/BILL CLINTON MEDIA CONNECTION---Latino-TV Univision owner, Haim Saban described his formula to influence American politics: (a) make donations to political parties, (b) establish think tanks, and, (c) control media outlets. (source: WIKI)
=========================================
Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors. Amy Paris noted that Saban's Clinton-era "generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, Saban served on the President's Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues."
The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife "slept in the White House several times during President Clinton's two terms." Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a "very good friend and supporter."
Saban contributed between $5-10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.
During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500. Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 2001–2002 cycle." Saban's donations during that 2001–2002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.
In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: "I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation's work, particularly on reconciliation issues." In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.
In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation. According to the Los Angeles Times,the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.

WIKI--Latino UNIVISION'S Saban became involved in politics in the mid-1990s when he felt that support for Israel was slipping in the United States.[5] Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings.
In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major Jewish donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to "keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries."
The donors, who "were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign", "were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party 'superdelegates' should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate."[27] The letter to Pelosi stated the donors "have been strong supporters of the DCCC" and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.
Saban, a long-time supporter and donor of many pro-Jewish and Israel causes, has stated his main goal in multiple interviews: "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel."[38]
Haim Saban touts himself as a worldwide pioneer and leader in the entertainment industry. He is the Chairman and CEO of Saban Capital Group, Inc.

==================================================
Haim Saban One of Hillary Clinton’s key supporters – who has donated more than $15 million to her presidential campaign and the Clinton Foundation – used a controversial Panamanian law firm to set up offshore companies. Saban once admitted to a Senate panel that he used phony investment losses to dodge hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes....
Hillary fanatic Haim Saban has a non-profit..."The Saban Center". Saban subsidized a 34-page white paper titled, “Pathway to Coexistence: A New U.S. Policy toward Iran.”
NO CONCIDENCE The paper essentially forecasted Obama’s approach to dealing with Iran: (1) the largely hands-off approach to Iran’s bloody 2009 Green Revolution, and, (2) the present-day compromises on its nuclear program.
Univision’s Jorge Ramos needs to have his citizenship REVOKED and then be DEPORTED.
During the 2016 Primary, Ramos PUBLICLY DECLARED ON NATIONAL TELEVISION that he was a Dual Citizen and regularly flies home to Mexico to VOTE in their Elections in DIRECT VIOLATION OF HIS OATH OF CITIZENSHIP.
There is NO such thing as a Dual Citizen under US LAW
Do YOU understand that this is 'political theater'? All that is needed is for the RATs to write their own bill from Mueller's indictments and the MSM will run it as if it were the '10 from Sinai'! I am not saying that the 'Bill of Impeachment' would pass or, God Forbid, pass and get to the US Senate.
This is a POLITICAL FARCE and only moves forward because the MSM and Popular Culture and Academia are hard-core LEFT!
Liz, what’s to say there was not money planted into the Trump cmapaign—fraudently during the campaign in order to be used for just such an investigation as this?
Seem far fetched? Ask Sharyl Attkison—she said stuff was panted on her computer as well as fact that her hard drives were stollen, and she thinks it was the feds who did both...
Indeed very troubling since the first Blockbuster store opened October 19, 1985. :)
Mueller might need to ask Hillary first about such dealings.....she’s an expert on the subject
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Iirc wasn’t UAE one of clinton foundation’s largest benefactors?
You just won the interwebs
Thanks, FRiend! :)
Seems like a hollow victory though. :(
Obama took money from contributors in GAZA. It was shown on the financial reports as “GA”, but when someone called the phone number, it was GAZA-—NOT Georgia, USA.
NOTHING was ever done. Obama took $$$ from anyone from anywhere.
POTUS is the one orchestrating this situation.
What has happened so far? Nothing wrong has been discovered about President Trump or his team other than some peccadilloes. More and more about the corruption and felonious activities performed by the deep state is coming out. The time the media is spending pushing Miller nothings is time being used to obtain confessions and evidence to convict and purge the perpetrators. The drama and confusion is a tool for POTUS.
Mueller might need to ask Hillary first about such dealings.....she’s an expert on the subject
Hmmmm, who did muslims have more to gain from? Hillary who is a sharia fan with her lover huma directly following the muslim in chief who sent a crate of one billion worth of unmarked bills to the largest state sponsor of terror in the world, or Trump?
What about buying influence through the Clinton Foundation?
What about buying influence through the Clinton Foundation?
The absurdity of this knows no bounds.
Our own states and illegal immigrants have done far more to corrupt our elections than Russia ever dreamed of doing.
As for our record, we have launched full participation involvement in Israel and Great Britain.
Obama sent teams over.
When is Mueller going to investigate that?
Sessions, shut down this sham! The dossier proves there was never a basis for an investigation. I am shocked there are not screams from the right to shut down this investigation due to the fraudulent basis upon which itvrests.
This is not law and order. This is lawlessness.
Shut it down now!
