We know. Old news. News that also doesn't matter worth a **** given that countless people have explained in the news media lately that she separated her duties as SoS from the foundation completely and they offered specific examples that contradicted the lazy argument that this money influenced her.

No, there really aren't. Sorry!

Since when has 24 hours been old news? And the New York Times reports otherwise.

Saudi Arabia is an ally of the United States, nonetheless. Many of our allies have regressive social policies. It doesn't mean we support them, but they are our allies because we rely heavily on them and visa versa.

The United States and Saudi Arabia established full diplomatic relations in 1940. Saudi Arabia's unique role in the Arab and Islamic worlds, its possession of the world's largest reserves of oil, and its strategic location make its friendship important to the United States.

Maybe you should read it?

And my point is that Bernie isn't some high-handed, good guy. Clinton is irrelevant to my argument.

No other SoS has accepted money from foreign governments the way Clinton has and she always gets away with scandals on the argument of "coincidence." Rarely is there coincidence with a money trail. Stop defending the obvious corruption.

Under 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.

The Clinton-led State Department also authorized $151 billion of separate Pentagon-brokered deals for 16 of the countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation, resulting in a 143 percent increase in completed sales to those nations over the same time frame during the Bush administration. These extra sales were part of a broad increase in American military exports that accompanied Obama’s arrival in the White House. 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.

American defense contractors also donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton for speaking engagements. Such firms and their subsidiaries were listed as contractors in $163 billion worth of Pentagon-negotiated deals that were authorized by the Clinton State Department between 2009 and 2012.

The State Department formally approved these arms sales even as many of the deals enhanced the military power of countries ruled by authoritarian regimes whose human rights abuses had been criticized by the department. Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar all donated to the Clinton Foundation and also gained State Department clearance to buy caches of American-made weapons even as the department singled them out for a range of alleged ills, from corruption to restrictions on civil liberties to violent crackdowns against political opponents.

As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton also accused some of these countries of failing to marshal a serious and sustained campaign to confront terrorism. 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.

An "ally" that abuses women, kills gays, doesn't assist us in the Middle East, and allegedly played a roll in the 9/11 terrorist attacks (the 28 hidden papers in the 9/11 Commission Report).
They are no real ally of ours.

No one “has ever produced a shred of evidence supporting the theory that Hillary Clinton ever took action as secretary of state to support the interests of donors to the Clinton Foundation.”

Wondering how many times you need to read this!

YoYo

So he would have cut tries with disgusting countries like Saudi Arabia and China if he had became president?

You do realize the Clinton foundation is an entirely philanthropic and humanitarian organization and the Clinton family receives $0 from it? Again, in the article you listed there it even itself states that there is zero proof the donations and policies influence those of the Clintons. Again, your very own source contradicts your argument. Your argument about a paper trail has no basis and is pure delusional BernieBro conspiracy.

And again like I said in my previous reply, my argument is about Bernie Sanders being an unethical candidate. Leave the Clintons out of it.

Funny how the homos on this site are rooting for Hillary probably just because she is a woman and she's being treated like a pop girl.

Actually, some of us homos are politically engaged, active members of the Democratic Party and work on her campaign. Some of us homos try to be completely informed about what's going on in the world and in our political system and have come to the independent decision to support a candidate we believe is the best choice.

But thanks for the attitude of superiority!
