Remember when President Bill Clinton rented out the Lincoln Bedroom?
That was just the warm-up act.
He and She Who Would Be Empress have collected at least $100 million dollars from Arab sheikhs and their autocratic and anti-Semetic regimes.
A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton received at least $100 million from autocratic Persian Gulf States and their leaders, potentially undermining Democratic presidential candidate Hillary's claim she can carry out independent Middle East policies.
As a presidential candidate, the amount of foreign cash the Clintons have amassed from the Persian Gulf states is "simply unprecedented," says national security analyst Patrick Poole.
"These regimes are buying access. You've got the Saudis. You've got the Kuwaitis, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. There are massive conflicts of interest. It's beyond comprehension," Poole told TheDCNF in an interview.
Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received upwards of $85 million in donations from five Persian Gulf States and their monarchs, according to the foundation's website.
The Clinton Foundation's ties go beyond support from governments. Four billionaire Saudis, along with groups the Dubai Foundation and Friends of Saudi Arabia, contributed another $30 million to the Clinton Foundation, according to the foundation's website.
Those governments are some of the most horrific abusers of human rights in the world.
For years, the accusations have centered on the Persian Gulf practice of importing hundreds of thousands of poor foreign laborers who work for low wages, including hundreds of thousands of female "domestic workers" who have no labor rights and often face exploitation and sexual abuse.
I wonder how all the Clinton supporters wailing about North Carolina's "bathroom law" feel about that? Oh, right, it's a non-story, because Hillary has a vagina.
And money in politics is only bad when it comes from the Koch Brothers. Pure-as-the-driven-snow Hillary would never let a donor influence her stance on an important issue. Honest!
Yet as secretary of state, Clinton consciously and actively sought to legitimize the sheikdoms through many new Department of State programs.
It's unclear what kind of promises or concessions the Clintons may have given the monarchs in return for their lavish financial support over the years, but last month the candidate reversed her long-standing support for fracking.
Hillary's new position, unveiled last month at a CNN presidential debate with Democratic opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders, put her in alignment with the Gulf State policy that opposes North American oil and gas fracking.
Imagine that. Purely coincidental!
So, to ask this question, is to answer it.
How would the American people ever know with any certainty that a decision by President Hillary Clinton was made to advance the best interests of the U.S. or to make the Clintons even richer?
Hillary's presidency is For Sale.
Eva Peron, eat your heart out.
