Rowling: Can I teach magic? MORE authorized arms sales to countries that had donated millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation, according to a new report.

State approved $165 billion worth of weapons sales to 20 foreign governments during Clinton's tenure, the International Business Times reports. Among the countries involved in the sales were Algeria, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The Clinton Foundation received between $54 million and $141 million in donations from the foreign governments and defense contractors involved in those sales, the report says.

Well this should take about 3-4 years to investigate this, only to find out that we should just “move on.”

ARMS AND THE CLINTONS---ANALYSIS

Under Hillary 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.

American defense contractors also donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton for speaking engagements.

Such firms and their subsidiaries were listed as State Dept contractors in $163 billion worth of Pentagon- negotiated deals that were authorized by the Clinton State Department between 2009 and 2012.

The State Department formally approved these arms sales even as many of the deals enhanced the military power of countries ruled by authoritarian regimes whose human rights abuses had been criticized by the department.

Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar all donated to the Clinton Foundation and also gained State Department clearance to buy aches of American-made weapons even as the department singled them out for a range of alleged ills, from corruption to restrictions on civil liberties to violent crackdowns against political opponents.

All those who are covered with Teflon are having it applied by entities from the evil side of the spiritual realm.

That’s why it sticks so well.

Only God can peel it off and he will.

It will be very painful for those that don’t bow their knees and declare “Jesus is Lord”

And her husband was bankrolled by the Chinese and Indonesia (the country with the largest population of Islamists) and was supposed to be impeached for that.

Instead the GOP wimped out and used another reason.

Congressmen were allowed to go into a room with all the evidence against Clinton, including the rapes and assaults on women.

They saw it and decided to ignore the worst of it.

They wanted to live but that is no excuse.

Our Founding Fathers put everything on the line to insure we would have a Constitutional Republic where people are free and armed.

Politicians know they are being intimidated by Islam and the Clinton Crime Family et al and shake in their boots instead of doing their jobs.

Little do they know that Obama/Clinton/ etc etc are in the process of starting a revolution (that will be blamed on Patriotic citizens) that will see the tree of liberty being watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants as expressed by T Jefferson November 13, 1787.

Love to see that posted, thanks Liz

The degree and number of crimes committed by insurrectionists and traitorous fifth columnist types is burying the positive aspects of the USA in the muck of lies and deception.

Obama owns the FBI and the Justice Dept, which the FBI is a part of.

He also owns most of the eGOP sycophants that do not do the jobs they were elected to do.

It’s all about porkulus.

Its so thick now I have been choking on it for months. I try to let it go and pray it away but its not going away. I am trying to maintain an even keel but i may have to take a FReeper break before too long.

Some Freeper fasting and increased prayer may be the only vacation I end up with this year.

Sorry, illustrating the arrogance of the darkness that is Mrs Bill 'the rapist' Clinton.

Maybe this is better?
