Read your own story...plus this includes expats who are still US citizens.

Included in these numbers are donations sent to the presidential campaigns by American troops stationed overseas and members of the diplomatic corps

Foundation Ties Bedevil Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Campaign

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/21/us/politics/hillary-clinton-presidential-campaign-charity.html?referer=http://www.salon.com/2016/10/12/leaked-emails-lobbyist-warned-hillarys-campaign-chair-about-911-lawsuit-against-clinton-foundation-donor-saudi-arabia/

The kingdom of Saudi Arabia donated more than $10 million. Through a foundation, so did the son-in-law of a former Ukrainian president whose government was widely criticized for corruption and the murder of journalists. A Lebanese-Nigerian developer with vast business interests contributed as much as $5 million.

For years the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation thrived largely on the generosity of foreign donors and individuals who gave hundreds of millions of dollars to the global charity. But now, as Mrs. Clinton seeks the White House, the funding of the sprawling philanthropy has become an Achilles’ heel for her campaign and, if she is victorious, potentially her administration as well.

With Mrs. Clinton facing accusations of favoritism toward Clinton Foundation donors during her time as secretary of state, former President Bill Clinton told foundation employees on Thursday that the organization would no longer accept foreign or corporate donations should Mrs. Clinton win in November.

But while the move could avoid the awkwardness of Mr. Clinton jetting around the world asking for money while his wife is president, it did not resolve a more pressing question: how her administration would handle longtime donors seeking help from the United States, or whose interests might conflict with the country’s own.

The Clinton Foundation has accepted tens of millions of dollars from countries that the State Department — before, during and after Mrs. Clinton’s time as secretary — criticized for their records on sex discrimination and other human-rights issues. The countries include Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Brunei and Algeria.

Saudi Arabia has been a particularly generous benefactor. The kingdom gave between $10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation. (Donations are typically reported in broad ranges, not specific amounts.) At least $1 million more was donated by Friends of Saudi Arabia, which was co-founded by a Saudi prince.

Saudi Arabia also presents Washington with a complex diplomatic relationship full of strain. The kingdom is viewed as a bulwark to deter Iranian adventurism across the region and has been a partner in the fight against terrorism across the Persian Gulf and wider Middle East.

At the same time, though, American officials have long worried about Saudi Arabia’s suspected role in promoting a hard-line strain of Islam, which has some adherents who have been linked to violence. Saudi officials deny any links to terrorism groups, but critics point to Saudi charities that fund organizations suspected of ties to militant cells.

Brian Fallon, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign, said the Clintons and the foundation had always been careful about donors. “The policies that governed the foundation’s activities during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state already went far beyond legal requirements,” he said in a statement, “and yet the foundation submitted to even more rigorous standards when Clinton declared her candidacy for president, and is pledging to go even further if she wins.”

...A Bloomberg poll in June showed that 72 percent of voters said it bothered them either a lot or a little that the Clinton Foundation took money from foreign countries while Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state. In a CNN/ORC International Poll the same month, 38 percent of voters said Mr. Clinton should completely step down from the foundation, while 60 percent said he should be able to continue working with the foundation if his wife became president. Mr. Clinton said Thursday he would leave the foundation’s board if Mrs. Clinton won.

Edward G. Rendell, a former Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, said the foundation should be disbanded if Mrs. Clinton wins, and he added that it would make sense for the charity to stop taking foreign donations immediately....

The foundation is different than the campaign.

Do you really not understand this?

But if we're talking Foundations funding campaigns, we're talking about the wrong one, since it's actually Trump who used his Foundation to fund his campaign.

And I use the reusable mesh K-cup that lets me use any coffee I like with my Keurig. It's great...a fresh cup every cup. I guiltily admit to receiving some K-cups for Christmas though...Starbucks. I'm glad it's only 8 little cups in the pkg.

classy move for sure. I have serious doubts that Trump would have attended hers.

Classy move? The Trumps and Clintons are good friends and all that crap you saw during the campaign was acting. Bad acting but still acting, just like when Hollywood stars fight on camera and then go for beers afterwards...same thing.

yes, we are all aware of your conspiracy theories.

Crap was that from this week???

jesus, no kidding.

Does money influence? Anything troubling about all this foreign money to former SoS?

It's illegal for a foreign national to contribute to a presidential campaign. So I'm not sure how any of these numbers are accurate, without leading to serious fines and jail times. Can you explain?

Can you prove it's false?

That's a silly retort.

No its not. Let's see if you can do it.

Can you prove dragons don't exist? MUAHAHAHA

That's the dumbest logic I've heard in a while
