I have a question. How often do these foreign governments donate to charitable foundations? Especially, charitable foundations outside of their own country?

It seems like an unusual transaction unless they were looking for quid pro quo.

Foreign governments can do dumb things. But what really pisses me off is when countries, like Algeria, who each year receives more than $100 million in US aid ( non-military) pays $500K for lobbyists in DC.

< Because money is fungible, we are in effect paying to be lobbied. There are about a dozen countries that do the same thing.

I'd like to see Congress pass a bill stating t hat ANY country that receives non-military US aid may NOT employ a lobbyist in Washington.

From my initial investigation the answer to your question is SELDOM and NEVER in regard to a foundation such as the Clinton's were running.
