WASHINGTON — Four oil-rich Arab nations, all with histories of philanthropy to United Nations and Middle Eastern causes, have donated vastly more money to the Clinton Foundation than they have to most other large private charities involved in the kinds of global work championed by the Clinton family.
Since 2001, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates gave as much as $40 million to the Clinton Foundation. In contrast, six similar non-governmental global charities collected no money from those same four Middle Eastern countries; the International Committee of the Red Cross was given $6.82 million. Since 2001, these global foundations have raised a staggering $40 billion to $50 billion to fund their humanitarian work.
The existence of foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation has been well-documented in the media. What hasn't been revealed, however, is the disparity in donations by these four nations, all of which have been criticized by the State Department over the years for a spate of issues ranging from the mistreatment of women to stoking ethnic discord in the flammable Middle East.
Before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, Obama's transition team and the foundation agreed to limit potential conflicts of interest by prohibiting foreign governments from donating "materially" more money than they did in previous years.
The Washington Post reported recently that, among seven countries that donated during those years, was a new donor, Algeria, whose $500,000 contribution put the foundation in violation of the agreement. Algeria was lobbying the State Department at the time amid rising concerns that its government had engaged in human rights abuses, including restricting women's rights.
Minassian said that Algeria's embassy in Washington sent an unsolicited check to the Clinton Foundation Haiti Relief Fund days after the island nation was rocked by an earthquake on Jan. 12, 2010. While the money was distributed as "direct aid to Haiti," he said, "the State Department should have been informed once the foundation became more aware of Algeria's contribution."

It does seem like tilling the Clinton's back yard is going to be time consuming.
I am astounded by how much I wasn't aware of.

It's honestly stunning how much the Clinton's do and have done and what they are involved in. They are the perfect pair of Globalists as far as the elite is concerned IMO.
