While Clinton was secretary of state, her department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors. That figure from Clinton’s three full fiscal years in office is almost double the value of arms sales to those countries during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.
The Clinton-led State Department also authorized $151 billion of separate Pentagon-brokered deals for 16 of the countries that gave to the Clinton Foundation. That was a 143 percent increase in completed sales to those nations over the same time frame during the Bush administration.The 143 percent increase in U.S. arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors compares to an 80 percent increase in such sales to all countries over the same time period.
Under a directive signed by President Clinton in 1995, the State Department is supposed to take foreign governments’ human rights records into account when reviewing arms deals. Yet, Hillary Clinton’s State Department increased approvals of such deals to Clinton Foundation donors that her own agency was sharply criticizing for systematic human rights abuses.
As just one of many examples, in its 2011 Human Rights Report, Clinton’s State Department slammed Algeria’s government for imposing “restrictions on freedom of assembly and association,” tolerating “arbitrary killing,” “widespread corruption” and a “lack of judicial independence.” That year, the Algerian government donated $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation and the next year Clinton’s State Department approved a one-year 70 percent increase in military export authorizations to the country. The jump included authorizations for almost 50,000 items classified as “toxicological agents, including chemical agents, biological agents and associated equipment.” The State Department had not authorized the export of any of such items to Algeria the year before.
"Shred of evidence" and the most transparent candidate yet the Clinton foundation....only reports ranges of the total amounts given and does not provide a breakdown by year, except that it notes which donors made a contribution in 2014.
The Saudis are clever SOBs. The second Hillary became sec of state they stopped donations to the Clinton foundation and they resumed donations once she left the position. But.........while Hillary was sec of state they paid Bill $1,750,000 in "speaking fees". Slick women rights abusing bastards!
Bill's average speaking fee prior to Hillary becoming Sec of State was $200k which is in line with former presidents but when his wife Hillary was Sec of State the value of his speaking fees spiked to $500k to $750k. Billy was paid up to $1M for speeches during Hillary term.
For three years in a row beginning in 2010, the Clinton Foundation reported to the IRS that it received zero in funds from foreign and U.S. governments, a dramatic fall-off from the tens of millions of dollars in foreign government contributions reported in preceding years.
Those entries were errors, according to the foundation: several foreign governments continued to give tens of millions of dollars toward the foundation
I am saying that if she gets in she will be dogged by the press constantly about bills infidelity. It will overshadow everything she wants to accomplish - kind of like now, she is known as the wife of a cheating husband in the political spectrum.
Nobody cares about that anymore. You think she could have gotten to this stage if that was an issue?
Money is very powerful. At the international stage it will be hard to command respect.

The Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation admitted collecting $26.4 million in previously unreported speaking fees from foreign governments, foreign and U.S. corporations.
Candy from a baby! Why Is an Israeli-American Billionaire Pouring Millions into the Clinton Foundation? Weeks after Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, the State Department objected to a proposed consultancy arrangement offered to Bill Clinton by media mogul Haim Saban, citing concerns about conflict of interest. Nevertheless, public records show that Saban’s nonprofit gave millions to the Clinton Foundation throughout Hillary Clinton’s tenure. Saban, a billionaire best known for creating Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, has dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship and has spent heavily to support Israel. “His greatest concern, he says, is to protect Israel, by strengthening the United States-Israel relationship,” The New Yorker noted in a 2010 profile of Saban. At a conference in Israel, the article said, Saban had outlined three methods for influencing American politics: “make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.”
Israeli-American billionaire Haim Saban on Saturday called Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump a “clown” who would be dangerous to Israel and the world as a whole should he take the White House.
Saban, an entertainment magnate best known for producing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, is one of the biggest backers of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. He told Channel 2 in an interview aired Saturday night that the GOP candidate was “dangerous for the world, and since Israel is part of the world, therefore he’s dangerous to Israel.” Democratic candidate, saying the former secretary of state would be a much better candidate for Israel, or more specifically for those who are interested in a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Saban has donated over $2 million to the Clinton campaign as of November 2015, according to figures cited by The Washington Post. He has also donated at least $10 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Iran: corrupt billionaires get death USA: corrupt billionaires get handed the presidency
Zanjani was arrested in 2013 during a crackdown on alleged corruption during the rule of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Iran's Oil Ministry says Zanjani owes more than 2 billion euros ($2.25 billion) for oil sales he made on behalf of Ahmadinejad's government. In 2014, Iran executed billionaire businessman Mahafarid Amir Khosravi over corruption charges.

Your strategic cutting and pasting, often without any source data, is intellectually dishonest. You would be better off just posting a link to the articles rather than cutting out paragraphs. The only thing you sourced was this National Review link (because it forced you to), a well known right wing rag. But you forgot the very next paragraph that provides important context. Your articles yesterday suffered the same. I'll pull some words out from the Nat review..
Saban’s foreign-policy activism did not escape the attention of the State Department. The agency’s designated ethics adviser, James H. Thessin, wrote in a memo that his objection to the proposed consultancy was “based on the fact that Haim Saban, a founder of this entity, is actively involved in foreign affairs issues, particularly with regards to the Middle East, which is a priority area for the Secretary.” Thessin’s memo, one of 1,017 pages of records obtained by Judicial Watch, was the only instance in which the Department of State objected to one of Bill Clinton’s proposed speaking engagements or consultancy agreements.
And did you skim over the fact that Saban is an American citizen? Do you think he's running guns through the Clinton and Mighty Morphin Power Ranger franchise? A thousand pages by Judicial Watch and they found one objection and it's regarding a US citizen, not a terrorist. And the rest of the non-sourced material above could very well be the old statistics adage "correlation does not imply causation".
I get that you really think Hillary is running guns or that the Clinton Foundation is a corrupt charity, rather than one that is pushing progressive causes across the globe. Just be careful of confirmation bias.
Transparency range $1 to 5 million dollars. Clinton money funnels that benefit Americans not her or her family personally "speaking fees" and "donations".

The Swiss bank UBS is one of the biggest, most powerful financial institutions in the world. As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton intervened to help it out with the IRS. And after that, the Swiss bank paid Bill Clinton $1.5 million for speaking gigs. The Wall Street Journal reported all that and more Thursday in an article that highlights huge conflicts of interest that the Clintons have created in the recent past.
Then reporters James V. Grimaldi and Rebecca Ballhaus lay out how UBS helped the Clintons. “Total donations by UBS to the Clinton Foundation grew from less than $60,000 through 2008 to a cumulative total of about $600,000 by the end of 2014, according to the foundation and the bank,” they report. “The bank also joined the Clinton Foundation to launch entrepreneurship and inner-city loan programs, through which it lent $32 million. And it paid former president Bill Clinton $1.5 million to participate in a series of question-and-answer sessions with UBS Wealth Management Chief Executive Bob McCann, making UBS his biggest single corporate source of speech income disclosed since he left the White House.
I wonder what the Clinton's and their foundations attorney fees are? I'm sure they have the best and brightest attorney money can buy, how can they not when they amass hundreds of millions of dollars and have so muc more potential "earnings" at stake.
Clinton voters are oblivious to the dangers. Polls show they no longer consider her “honest and trustworthy,” but they still don’t think she has committed any crimes. Countless Clinton supporters have told me, “These investigations won’t find anything. The Benghazi hearings proved it. This is simply a partisan witch hunt.”
They are half right. The Benghazi hearings proved, once again, that Congress has the investigative prowess of Homer Simpson.
The Congressional hearings were absolutely a partisan witch-hunt, the unintentional consequences of which have completely clouded the legitimate investigation underway at the Justice Department.
Benghazi is a red herring. A suspicious email server in her basement is not.

I don't see the GOP as having anything to do with the FBI investigation. The Democrats are in power. It is Democratic appointees making these decisions.
In a December 2009 State Department cable published by Wikileaks, Clinton complained of "an ongoing challenge to persuade Saudi officials to treat terrorist financing emanating from Saudi Arabia as a strategic priority." She declared that "Qatar's overall level of CT cooperation with the U.S. is considered the worst in the region." She said the Kuwaiti government was "less inclined to take action against Kuwait-based financiers and facilitators plotting attacks." She noted that "UAE-based donors have provided financial support to a variety of terrorist groups." All of these countries donated to the Clinton Foundation and received increased weapons export authorizations from the Clinton-run State Department...
