    The Clinton Foundation accepted millions of dollars from seven foreign governments during Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, including one donation that violated its ethics agreement with the Obama administration, foundation officials disclosed Wednesday.

    Most of the contributions were possible because of exceptions written into the foundation’s 2008 agreement, which included limits on foreign-government donations.

    The agreement, reached before Clinton’s nomination amid concerns that countries could use foundation donations to gain favor with a Clinton-led State Department, allowed governments that had previously donated money to continue making contributions at similar levels.

    ....But the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation has accepted tens of millions of dollars in donations from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Algeria and Brunei — all of which the State Department has faulted over their records on sex discrimination and other human-rights issues.

    The department’s 2011 human rights report on Saudi Arabia, the last such yearly review prepared during Mrs. Clinton’s tenure, tersely faulted the kingdom for “a lack of equal rights for women and children,” and said violence against women, human trafficking and gender discrimination, among other abuses, were all “common” there.

    Saudi Arabia has been a particularly generous benefactor to the Clinton Foundation, giving at least $10 million since 2001, according to foundation disclosures. At least $1 million more was donated by Friends of Saudi Arabia, co-founded by a Saudi prince.

    Still trying to derail the thread Rev. Very infantile of you.

    Yes the Clinton Foundation has received funds from many. But those folk are not demanding control of the entire Democratic Party. The Brothers seek to control the GOP completely and they hope by doing that they can then control the US. If they do, do you really believe they have your interest at heart?

    Stick to the topic Rev. Stop being a troll.

    Yep. Now we should really be look at why the GOP was aligned with President Obama in pushing TPA or whatever that thing is, and who these 600 companies are that have obviously greased someone's hands to push this awful bill through.

    It might not, but this does show the GOP ain't in lock-step. That's a good sign.

    I'm struggling to understand the point of this discussion...

    How does anyone having my email address control my vote?

    Short of sending me a really big check how can the Koch riches change my vote?
