Now that it is clear that they can be paid off:

So how much was PAID to Hillary and Huma to
send the 20,000 MANPADs to al Qaeda and ignore the
raping of a US Ambassador??

Does this not become property of the US? If this was “given” personally while sec of state, it is illegal.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin gave Clinton a $560 bottle of cognac"

A bottle of liquor is what you give the doorman. An incredible insult from one head of state to another, obviously overlooked by slick Willie. Obama probably received a bottle of Colt 45.

Well, it goes both ways. We gave the Queen of England an ipod loaded with Obama’s speeches, which has got to be worth at least $500K.

it is illegal.

Illegal? Bwahahahahahha! hahahahahah! hahahaha!

The law is for little people, or big people who cross the Won.

Did the Saudi King get a couple of remaindered copies of "It Takes a Village" and "Living History"?

Hillary and Chelsea are a couple of drunks. Putin gave them the perfect gift.

By Federal Law, it is illegal to accept such a gift while employed by the Federal government, a she was in 2012.
