Hillary’s Foundation Finders Fees For US Arms Sales

I'm Ready for Hillary's Outside moneyInternational Business Times

In the years before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia contributed at least $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, the philanthropic enterprise she has overseen with her husband, former president Bill Clinton. Just two months before the deal was finalized, Boeing — the defense contractor that manufactures one of the fighter jets the Saudis were especially keen to acquire, the F-15 — contributed $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to a company press release.

The Saudi deal was one of dozens of arms sales approved by Hillary Clinton’s State Department that placed weapons in the hands of governments that had also donated money to the Clinton family philanthropic empire, an International Business Times investigation has found.

Under (Hillary) Clinton’s leadership, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation, according to an IBTimes analysis of State Department and foundation data. That figure — derived from the three full fiscal years of Clinton’s term as Secretary of State (from October 2010 to September 2012) — represented nearly double the value of American arms sales made to the those countries and approved by the State Department during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.

Noting to see here, New Hampshire Democrats, you just keep talking about Frank Guinta – who paid his FEC fine and returned the money you’ve been in a bother about for 5 years. Hey. Maybe you could ask Hillary to do the something similar?  You know, just so people don’t think she’s on the take or anything. And while you’re at it, Bill has ties to the FIFA corruption scandal and yes, there’s money involved there too.
