But, but that was an "investment" and they probably would rather reap the benefits of that donation than get it back.
This is a very enlightening article and pretty much clarifies what is going on for those with an ability to reason and use commonsense (obviously will be a problem for some): Arab nations ("Arab Nations' Donations To The Clinton Foundation: Curing World's Ills or Currying Favors")
Why is an American Presidential Candidate even 'allowed' to accept donations from foreigners?
Isn't that supposed to be against the law? If it isn't it darn well should be, because it isn't rocket science to figure out what influence that would have on foreign policy!
Obama and Clinton brown-nosing the Saudis just shows what HYPOCRITES they are concerning human rights, and especially oppression of women! Plus lying against Iran and calling them supporters of terrorism, when Saudi Arabia, N-O-T Iran was responsible for 9/11!
All Saudis should be banned from stepping foot in America, but no, one of the Princes is here for Obama to brown nose some more! We should deport that disgusting Islamist Obama to Saudi Arabia, and Clinton with him!
Powerful Saudi prince to meet Obama, Ban on U.S visit Ban said last week that Saudi Arabia had exerted "unacceptable" pressure on the world body after a U.N. report blacklisted a Saudi-led military coalition for killing children in Yemen, a charge denied by the kingdom. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/...sit/ar-AAgXUk9

If your contention is that the Saudis are buying influence, where is the evidence that they got anything from their donations? Every report that I read from news organizations said that no favors were given.

Hmm. The USA has bombed 7 Middle East countries, all enemies of Saudi Arabia. We also provides all the materials, weapons & support which keep the dictators in power there. What more do you want?

Your contention is so ludicrous that it really should go unanswered but just for the entertainment value, I will respond. The notion that Mrs. Clinton decides solely U.S. bombing policy is absurd on its own. That, coupled with the fact that those seven countries bombings preceded the donations undercuts your entire argument.

They just want people in the US government to back them up. Clinton sells them weapons and looks the other way while they're committing genocide in Yemen. I'm sorry, but that's just the simple truth
"Clinton sells them weapons" with absolutely no other government agency approval/involvement?
How's that work?
BTW, we'd been selling weapons to Saudi Arabia for many years before Clinton ever came to Washington.
These dictatorships have toe worst human rights records in the world. They publicly crucify people on a cross in the town square. Chop people's heads off. But they have a soft spot by donating to poor Africans via the Clinton foundation? Be honest, why do you think Saudi Arabia is giving the clinton's money?
My guess is for frequent flyer miles out of the country for the next time that they have to leave in a hurry...

Trump should show good faith by stopping every bit of business he does in every country with tons of human rights violations in their histories. Didn't seem to keep him from manufacturing in China though, did it? Once again Donny says 'Good for ME, NOT for thee'.
