2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The Hillary corruption straw man. [View all]Admiral Loinpresser
(3,859 posts)30. As I conceded upthread, her SOS tenure apparently included foreign government pay to play.
I agree a chronology would be helpful. If she is the nominee, we will undoubtedly get that chronology from a GOP counterpart of David Brock. I assume you mean a progressive analysis and chronology. I would love to see that. This might be a start:
While at State, Clinton was particularly generous with sales approvals for weapons manufacturers. David Sirota and Andrew Perez have shown she oversaw an 80% increase in weapons sales approvals compared to Secretary Condoleeza Rice, including a special 143% increase for her Foundations donors. Thailand and the United Arab Emirates are two donors who received gun purchase approvals from Clintons State Department in 2011 after they donated upwards of $1,250,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
