Furthermore, Clinton granted SGE waivers to her closest staffers—such as Mills, Huma Abedin, Declan Kelly, and approximately 100 others—that allowed these staffers to work for both the State Department and other for-profit entities. SGE status is essentially a conflict of interest waiver.
The State Department is responsible for approving commercial arms sales to foreign countries, and the secretary of state determines which countries get approved. Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved commercial weapons sales totaling $165 billion to 20 countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation, according to an analysis by International Business Times. Under Hillary Clinton’s direction, the State Department increased weapons sales 143 percent to 16 Clinton Foundation foreign donors—$151 billion in total sales, compared with just over $105 billion for the same time period under the Bush administration. Five countries with notorious human-rights abuses donated large sums to the Clinton Foundation and saw more than 97 percent increases in their State Department-approved weapons deals.
According to a 2009 diplomatic cable, Secretary Clinton knew that entities within the United Arab Emirates supported terrorism.
Nonetheless, the UAE received a 10-fold increase—one of the largest—in Clinton-approved weapons sales. Sales to the UAE totaled nearly $25 billion during Clinton’s tenure, compared with $2.2 billion during the comparable period under Clinton’s predecessor.
The UAE is a major Clinton Foundation donor.
It is unclear why the Crown Prince chose to reach out to the State Department through the Clinton Foundation backchannel. However, the email is a clear indication that the foundation served as a backchannel for donor access to the Clinton State Department. Boeing, Lockheed, and Clinton Speeches
Bill Clinton was reportedly paid $625,000 for speeches sponsored by entities that benefitted from arms-purchase approvals by Secretary Clinton’s State Department. The speeches included a $175,000 keynote address paid for by the Kuwait-America Foundation, hosted at the Kuwaiti ambassador’s house and sponsored in part by Boeing. Kuwait has donated between $5 million and $10 million to the Clinton Foundation and received increased weapons sales during Secretary Clinton’s tenure.
The following people should hang their heads in shame for NOT reporting honestly about both parties.

NOTHING will come of the “INVESTIGATION” after 8 or 10 years, a trillion dollars of wasted money, etc., the Clinton’s will WALK away. I’m 81 years old and DO NOT expect to ever see the Clintons found GUILTY while I’m still breathing.
While Hillary Clinton’s lawyers are stalling Congress and “negotiating” the terms of her testimony before the Benghazi committee—an option not allowed to ordinary Americans like bankers, executives, or accountants, federal Judge Emmet G. Sullivan has hit “refrigerator rule #6: Enough is enough.” Earlier this week, federal Judge Richard Leon lambasted the State Department lawyers for their stonewalling.
https://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/emmet_g-_sullivan.jpg
Now Judge Sullivan has chiseled a line in concrete. He has given the State Department only a week—until August 7—to get some answers from Hillary Clinton, and her top aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills—under penalty of perjury. Last night on NewsMax TV with Emmy-award winning host Ed Berliner, I noted that Judge Sullivan recently reopened the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Judicial Watch to obtain emails from Huma Abedin, the top Clinton aide who is married to infamous and disgraced former Congressman Anthony Wiener. Judge Sullivan reopened the case when he learned that Clinton and her staff used personal email accounts to conduct government business.
This is a flagrant violation of the Federal Records Act and jeopardizes national security—prompting rapidly escalating concerns of countless ramifications internationally, nationally, and criminally. Just hours ago, in that very case, Judge Sullivan entered a remarkable order, and he has given the State Department only a week to comply. Now the State Department must produce for the court’s docket its correspondence

Sen Charles Grassley has been pressing the State Department to answer questions over Huma Abedin’s lucrative govt job arrangement facilitated by then-SoS Hillary. Sen Grassley wrote: “It appears that one of Abedin’s clients, the Clinton-connected Teneo Strategies founded by Doug Band-—said to be the toll booth to pay up to get access to the Clintons. Doug Band is the one that facilitated the Clintons’ big buck speaking engagements as part of the access deals.
KEEP IN MIND: L/E found Bill Clinton, and his buddy Doug Band, flew to Pedi Island on numerous occasions. They were listed with over 20 phone numbers and email addresses on convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein’s, books......"evidence pointing to money laundering.”
Grassley conjectured that Huma was being compensated for gathering information for Doug Band's outfit, Teneo, from US government sources for the purpose of informing investment decisions of her consulting clients - or in other words, political intelligence. GRASSLEY: “This raises important questions about whether Abedin’s dual job role was adequately disclosed to US government officials who may have provided her information without realizing that she was being paid by private investors to gather information.”—SNIP—
=======================================
NOTE WELL: As a (a) US govt employee (b) consulting for Teneo, Huma also had her own money-maker-—(c) Zaine Endeavors named after her son——which has never been fully investigated. AS OF LATE Huma doesnt seem to have a job. She is seen with Hillary on world tours. Who pays Huma’s $12,000 monthly rent? CONCLUSION: The Clinton criminal cabal left a long, very long electronic/paper trail.
