1. Sheik-down:
"For example, Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain was rebuffed when he requested a meeting with Secretary of State Clinton — something to which he was entitled since Bahrain has been a steadfast U.S. ally in the Middle East. Then he was forced to go through the Clinton Foundation to get an appointment. Ms. Abedin (political staffer who serves as vice chairwoman of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign for President. Prior to that, she served as the deputy chief of staff to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from 2009 to 2013) advised Band (Clinton Foundation executive Douglas Band, a close ally of former President Clinton) that when she went through “normal channels” at State, Mrs. Clinton declined to meet. After Mr. Band intervened, the meeting was set up within only 48 hours. Surprise, surprise. It seemed Mr. Band described the prince in an email as a “good friend of ours.” No, make that a great and generous friend. According to the Clinton Foundation website, in 2005, Salman committed to establishing the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Program (CPISP) for the Clinton Global Initiative. And by 2010, it had contributed $32 million to CGI. The Kingdom of Bahrain reportedly gave between $50,000 and $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. And Bahrain Petroleum also gave an additional $25,000 to $50,000."
2. Doing Clinton Foundation business while on the US government payroll:
Surely super-smart lawyer Hillary "prod 'em" Clinton knows that it's a conflict of interest for Madam Secretary to be doing Clinton Foundation business while she's employed full-time on the US government payroll.
