"Saudi Arabia Has Funded 20% Of Hillary’s Presidential Campaign, Saudi Crown Prince Claims"

LINK: http://talkasia.net/2016/10/08/saudi-arabia-has-funded-20-of-hillarys-presidential-campaign-saudi-crown-prince-claims/

Go to the link for the full story.

Its a wonder this isnt getting more news coverage in the US but then its not really surprising. I guess this is why Hillary knows so much about foreign nations involvement with the elections since 20% of her campaign is funded by a foreign nation.

Its also clear if she becomes the USA president tensions with Russa are not going to be great with how she talked in last nights debate about them.

Can non-US citizens contribute?

Foreign nationals are prohibited from making any contributions or expenditures in connection with any election in the U.S. Please note, however, that "green card" holders (i.e., individuals lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the U.S.) are not considered foreign nationals and, as a result, may contribute. For additional information, consult our "Foreign Nationals" brochure

http://www.fec.gov/ans/answers_general.shtml#Can_nonUS_citizens_contribute

 

 

So are they funneling the money through other means because a non citizen can't contribute or are they having green card holders donate to her campaign?  The 20% sounds like a bullshit number to me.  I won't click on your link because I have never heard of that site before.

Also, in case you haven't noticed Russia and USA aren't getting along that well since they started fucking around in Ukraine.  They deserved the sanctions and probably deserve more.  It is near impossible for Russia and USA to be friends when you got little man syndrome Putin running the country.

Do you really wonder?  I mean, if you did, you'd do the tiniest bit of research and find out why.  Like, enter a few words into google.  That way, you could save everyone else from old news with little or no credibility.

Hackers attacked Jordan's state-owned news agency, Petra, late on Monday night and published false statements which were attributed to the Saudi Deputy Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman.

 

Prince Mohammed bin Salman is currently visiting the United States and the false news item, which was later removed by Petra, made it seem as if he had endorsed a particular political candidate in the upcoming US presidential elections.

Jordanian sources told Al Arabiya News Channel that the source of the hack was based in Iran and that a request has been sent to the Interpol for further investigations.

For its part, Petra has published an explanation about the incident and this could be read here.

You must have been really outraged during the Bush years considering the close ties between the Bush and Saudi royal families.

You've been funneling out a lot of shit articles lately, Zero. If you truly don't care about the election like you say, you're doing one of the 3: 1. Posting threads for points. 2. Doing this for shits and giggles. Or 3. You're trying to troll or bait people. Because let's be honest, you don't believe any of the articles you're posting. This is your final warning, by the way. And no, it's not just from this article -buuut instead a growing trend of you attempting to cross a grey line. Locking.
