Hillary Clinton's campaign has held more fundraisers on foreign soil than any other candidate running for president in 2016.

The Clinton campaign has held at least 13 fundraisers overseas so far, involving celebrities such as jazz singer Tony Bennett and fashion editor Anna Wintour, according to tracking of political fundraising invitations by the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation.

Clinton’s offshore fundraisers, which tap wealthy U.S. citizens and permanent resident living abroad, have spanned from London, where the campaign has held at least eight fundraisers, to Munich, Mexico City, and Durban, South Africa.

1. She truly is international

And they have vested interests.

[Baobab]

12. I was surprised it was only $465k

Bill made more than that ($600k) for giving one speech to (IMHO evil) Dutch health insurer Achmea in 2013

[GummyBearz]

31. Its like she supports everyone but me

Wall street - check
Americans living outside of America - check
Americans living and working in America - meh

[forest444]

2. What could go wrong?

[Bubzer]

10. If it had been anyone else in government, they'd have been arested, investigated, and fired.

But, Her has received absurd amounts of deference.

[Darb]

14. WTF are you talking about?

Damn. That was a reach.

Are you Gumby?

[Bubzer]

19. You've never worked in government or anywhere remotely classified have you.

Have a great day!

[Darb]

22. Try to stay on message.

I know it is your raison d'etre to bring down Hillary (whatever the motivation, I know not), but the OP was about taking political donations from Americans living abroad.

Try to keep up. Or at least have the courtesy to keep your right-wingish shit on the proper thread.

[Aristus]

28. Just ignore it.

Another disgruntled Berniebot who seems to forget the astounding number of investigations into Hillary Clinton's conduct that have turned up nothing criminal.

[forest444]

15. Of course she has.

The sell-out is strong in that one.

[Darb]

34. To whom are you refering?

Moi?

[BainsBane]

36. ask Bernie

He's been cited by the FEC for illegal contributions from foreign nationals. http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/988/201602110300034988/201602110300034988.pdf

http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/619/201602250300038619/201602250300038619.pdf

Clinton is raising money from Americans living abroad. Those citizens don't forsake their right to vote or contribute to campaigns because they live overseas.

[Darb]

3. Some Americans live outside the US.......

fucking derrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[pampango]

23. Not much of a news flash, is it? Americans living abroad have the same right to donate as the rest

of us. Plus I imagine that the people in the countries where they live are frightened by Trump and mystified by his apparent popularity so these Americans will probably donate to anyone who is not a republican.

[Darb]

26. Yeah, but BENGHAZI!

Or was it EMAILS!!!!?

[highoverheadspace]

11. Excellent pic!

Wild Bill sold us down the river long ago with NAFTA and deregulating the media. Its a shame that people are so fooled by Hillary.

[Darb]

18. Naive post.

But that doesn't mean a thing to the Bernies. You are a Bernie right?

[Dr Hobbitstein]

16. Queer Reserve Note?

Classy. Gotta keep supporting those right wing memes, eh?

[stonecutter357]

5. good we needed it for the Party.

[Bubzer]

13. Yup! The prison party.

[Fla Dem]

30. You keep hoping on that wagon even as all the wheels are falling off. Tired and trite. nt

[highoverheadspace]

6. I saw articles on this here about 6 months ago.

Two people specifically were mentioned. A Saudi Prince who gave millions and Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk who gave $10 million before the coup went down. Considering the wars going on in both countries I would say it is worth a much deeper look.

These are just a few of her foreign donors. She has many more. Many with very shady dealings.

[leftofcool]

9. Those are donations to the CGI not her campaign.

[greymouse]

25. of course, that's different (rolls eyes)

dirty hands always, Hillary and Bill. They wouldn't know ethical behavior if it bit them in the ankle.

[Darb]

20. Spreading the bullshit I see.

Couldn't have been done better if you were a Repubic operative. Nice job.

[Fla Dem]

32. Get your facts straight. Those were donations to the Clinton Foundation, not

her election campaign. Geesh. Do you know the difference?

[leftofcool]

7. Good, we will need it for the GE

[Lucinda]

24. +1

[Thinkingabout]

8. She isn't the only one.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511514268

Plus Sanders has irregularities in his campaign funding.

[Baobab]

17. Abnormal number of small donors

Not enough banks and drug companies, insurance firms.

Hillary is a Darling of Wall Street.

[Thinkingabout]

21. Oh, I wonder what it would take to be the darling of Lockheed Martin.

[Human101948]

27. How many half million dollar speeches did Bernie make for Lockheed Martin?

The difference is that Bernie was trying to get people jobs that would have gone elsewhere--the project wouldn't have been killed by anything he could do. He had railed for years against the waste and fraud of such military boondoggles.

In contrast, Hillary's actions always seem to fatten the Clintons' personal pork barrel.

[Cryptoad]

29. Some People should learn, If u can't support the potential nominees

of the Party, then u need to find yourself another political party to support besides the Democratic Party..

[hereforthevoting]

33. The party was aligned with my views when I joined

Something seems to have happened and I am just finding out about this now.

[Herman4747]

35. And if you strive to force others to have to choose...

between two liars



Then you need to ask questions about yourself.
