Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Department

May 26 2015

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.

I'm sure it's all just coincidence :2razz:

The response is going to be "Unless you can prove without a shadow of a doubt that the one was connected to the other, this doesn't count". :roll:

I'm afraid for some that even a quid pro quo wouldn't matter.

True Enough. Then it becomes "Everybody does it!"

I wonder, if her name wasn't Clinton would she have been in jail long time ago ? There are 320 million Americans and we can only find a few people from the same family to lead the nation. Unfortunately, we don't learn lessons of the past.

The US has sold many billions of arms to these countries previously. Perhaps Ira may have something to do with it.
These companies have Senators on speed dial. Guess how it would appear if these deals and American jobs were lost to the French or the UK who would gladly fill the orders?

So it was all about saving jobs for Americans? Hillary should appreciate that tip.

Mornin JF. :2wave: While that is true. What happened with Algeria and Hillary at State? What did they receive after their Donations to the Clinton Slush Fund that following year which was like 6 or 7 months? After the Clinton Foundation cashed that check, that is.

Excuse me sir.....I would need to see your server to validate that. :lol:

Okay. Whoops! I just spilled wine all over it and it caught on fire. Imagine that. Looks like I'm going to need a whole new server thingy there. Wanna see my frequent flyer miles? I have a shrunken head collection over here...

My response is...

"Do we have any evidence what so ever that the donations were linked to actions? At all?"

and the answer is no.

Why would you do that when I can tell you everything you want to know? Why, I can tell you how to dodge sniper fire. Before I started working from home, I was dead broke. These shrunken heads here were all members of the vast right wing conspiracy, here - here's a medal from the French for drinking more wine than any Secretary of State, ever. All you have to do is ask.

There is a mix involved here.

Not saying favors were not involved in some cases, just the defense companies want the ME business since the US is cutting back. And they have a ton of oull.
As to Algeria, no idea.

Look up just Hillary, Algeria and Weapons. :2wave: Should be enough to bring something to the top of the heap.

Your prescient parents deserve some credit for naming you after a famous person on the other side of the planet before he even became famous. There's genius in those genes!
 
Re: Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Departme

Isn't the US the world's biggest arm's dealer? Why people would be surprised that the same countries giving money to the Clinton foundation are making deals with our government is beyond me. That's kind of like being shocked that people who are Republicans also happen to work at FOX News... I'm not sure what we were expecting.

For Clinton donors the approved increases were 143%, the average was 80%.

Any evidence of a 'mix'?

Did you mean Trail Mix Grant. :mrgreen:

No, and we didn't actually see Sadam Hussein gassing all those people, either.
