The topic has been discussed here numerous times, most recently at

As I said there:

It's old news, but the Republicans will use it in November

It doesn't matter if it was all legal, or if these countries would have gotten the arms anyway. The optics are bad, and that's what matters. "Appearance of impropiety" is the issue, real or not.

No matter what people think the Republicans would throw at Bernie, it can't match the ammunition that Hillary is giving them. Another reason he'd be the stronger candidate in November.
