Bill Clinton and Those Saudis

Thanks for reminding me about that old pledge we heard that the Clinton (Legacy)Foundation would turn over its donor list when Hillary was nominated to be Secretary of State. Now it's been released.

And of course, right in the thick of things are those Saudis who throw their money around to influence various American institutions, you know like politics and universities. Add to that the Friends of Saudi Arabia (whoever they are) Dubai, Oman, Qatar and you get the picture. You think that has any influence on State Department decision-making on Middle Eastern matters?

"Uhhh.....yeaaaah."

"Yeah!!

Um... In light of the latest AP article on the donors' list, shouldn't you update your post?

Alinosof,

Umm...Perhaps. I may not be as up to speed as you. Here is the most recent AP item I could find.

It seems the Clintons added an addendum regarding the 2009 donors.
