With Saudi and Russian ties, Clinton machines tentacles are far reaching, according to Panama Papers
The Podesta Group, a lobbying firm headed by Clinton operatives, has made a pretty penny working for Saudi & Russia

...The Saudi regime is one the largest donors to the Clinton Foundation. It has poured between $10 million and $25 million into the organization, which has been accused of carrying out an international money laundering scheme.
Perhaps most egregious of all, huge arms deals approved by Hillary Clintons State Department also happened to place weapons in the hands of governments that donated money to the Clinton Foundation including the autocratic Gulf regimes in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar an investigation the International Business Times found.
Moreover, Bill Clinton has garnered enormous fees for speeches in Saudi Arabia, investigative reporter Michael Isikoff points out, including $600,000 for two talks while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.
In his report on the Clinton machines ties to Saudi Arabia, Isikoff also notes that two of the Clinton lobbyist-bundlers, Richard Sullivan and David Jones, are principals in a firm that, until late last year, represented the Russia Direct Investment Fund, a sovereign wealth fund co-founded by Vladimir Putin when he was prime minister.
All of these actors are moving parts in the enormous Clinton machine, which has its tentacles everywhere, and as journalist Matt Taibbi infamously wrote of Goldman Sachs relentlessly jams its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

(55,981 posts)Oh yeah, you guys will do anything to keep a progressive out. No college for our children, no jobs, no more home ownership, no retirement programs and an end to SS and Medicare. Allow the Rich Ruling class to continue the looting of the 99%. Viva the Oligarchys, right? No thanks, like our founders we will risk it all for the chance of freedom and liberties.
