Wikileaks Reveals Saudi Arabia and

Qatar Giving Money to both Clinton and

ISIS
Links to the emails showing foreknowledge and discussion of the subject…

The first two emails below reveal that the Podesta/Clinton team fully understood that Qatar
and Saudi Arabia finance ISIS and international terrorism. These email exchanges in this
post took place immediately after the Wall Street Journal/Grimaldi article titled

“Foreign Government Gifts to Clinton Foundation on the Rise”

By James V. Grimaldi and Rebecca Ballhaus

https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3774

Excerpt:

This entire effort should be done with a low profile, avoiding the massive traditional military
operations that are at best temporary solutions. While this military/para-military operation is
moving forward, we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to
bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing
clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region.

Excerpt:

One area in which these countries should take more action is cracking down on private
financing that flows from some Gulf countries to terrorist groups such as ISIS—and the
United States should increase its Treasury and Justice Department efforts to cut the financial
links between the Gulf and extremist groups such as ISIS.

Date: 2012-04-16 18:56 Subject: Qatar, Brazil, Peru, Malawi, Rwanda
Last Thursday, April 12, I met individually with the Ambassadors from Qatar, Brazil, Peru,
Malawi, and Rwanda, in Washington, DC. Below is a summary of key points from each
meeting, and we are following-up on each point. I’d welcome your feedback. Sincerely, Ami
QATAR – Would like to see WJC “for five minutes” in NYC, to present $1 million check that
Qatar promised for WJC’s birthday in 2011. – Qatar would welcome our suggestions for
investments in Haiti – particularly on education and health. They have allocated most of their
$20 million but are happy to consider projects we suggest. I’m collecting input from CF Haiti
team.

4th email excerpt: Attempting to put out ‘brush fires’…..

Most revealing excerpts:

Subject: RE: WSJ | Foreign Government Donations I will leave all the defensive things to
those who have and know the data for pushback. But there is a much larger strategic
question that we need to resolve and stop this from spreading beyond today and probably
tomorrow. And that is how quickly foundation stops. Even if we don’t announce it
immediately, we may want to stop immediately. Obviously, doing this in the context of an
overall strategy we can stick with is better than dealing with brush fires.

Qatar was for CGI

The only governments that donated to the endowment were: Saudi Arabia, Oman, and UAE

It would be nice to paint a picture of how this money is being put to work — even
anecdotally.

More on their discussions and awareness of problematic Clinton Foundation donations from
states that support terrorism or have a dubious record regarding support for terrorist related
activities:

Excerpt: “This is why Morocco would be such a problem–more of this the first week she’s out
selling her story.”

The Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Oman donations went to the endowment drive.

James Grimaldi, the same investigative reporter writing this larger piece about
Foundation/State Department overlap with corporate money (which is still TBD in terms of
when/whether it will run) is writing a piece for tomorrow about the Foundation’s acceptance
of foreign money. The increase shows up on last year’s disclosure for a number of reasons,
some of it related to ongoing programs, some because there was an uptick in foreign money
after she left State and the MOU no longer applied. Craig and his team have been working
with them all day to separate fact from fiction where they can, and have given them a strong
statement about donors’ contributions to the Foundation being a result of the good work it
does, but wanted everyone to have a heads up. Nick

5th email related to WSJ/ James Grimaldi article on Clinton Foundation foreign donations
from Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Discussion on receiving the funds shows awareness of states
sponsoring terrorism, yet Clinton Foundation still took the money:

Subject: Re: WSJ | Foreign Government Donations To answer earlier questions on this
chain — we looked into foreign govt donations to former presidential libraries and
foundations a while back. See memo attached. Will update to include Bush 43. Bush 41
received funds from Qatar, Kuwait, Japan, Oman, UAE for his library, including while his son
was in office.

Sorry to be clear – foundation stops — means stop taking foreign gov’t money. Is that
possible? If not we’re going to be very vulnerable on that throughout and I think our
opponents and some on our side will say at is unseemly for a potential U.S. President taking
money from foreign governments for her private foundation.

What the above emails show is full awareness (via their own email statements) that Qatar
and Saudi Arabia are supporters and financier of ISIS, yet the Clinton team still took the
money Qatar and Saudi Arabia offered, including a $1 million check from Qatar on Bill
Clintons birthday (as stated in the above email).

The Podesta team then went on to discuss the impropriety of taking money from Qatar and
Saudi Arabia, as well as other Sunni Gulf states, and Morocco. To reconcile this impropriety
they used examples of other administrations doing the same previously. This shows
complete awareness of their ongoing actions, however, they still chose to accept the money
regardless of how it may have looked and knowing full well that the states the money came
from were ISIS/terroism backers.
Thus, at a minimum, the Wikileaks released Podesta emails prove that they were fully aware
of their actions and that the countries they took the money from were ISIS-Islamic radical
terrorism support states. This makes them complicit in supporting murder, international
terrorism and terrorist related activities.

Foreign Government Gifts to Clinton Foundation on the Rise

By James V. Grimaldi and Rebecca Ballhaus

Recent post reveals that lead Saudi cleric terrorist commander in Aleppo, Syria receives
extensive air time on Dubai Gulf State financed TV Channel “Orient TV” and is hailed in the
Gulf States as a ‘revolutionary’ hero. There is no way realistically possible that the US
surveillance apparatus and the Clinton team is not aware of this fact. If they are unaware of it
then they are completely negligent in their duties and responsibilities to the American people
they were appointed to represent.

MSM revelation of the subject:

a-qatar-giving-money-2441644

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s Clinton Foundation and the Islamic State
group (ISIS) both receive funding from the same sources in the Middle East, namely the
government of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Julian Assange claimed in a recent interview.

In an interview that will be broadcast by Russia Today (RT) on Saturday, the founder of the
controversial nonprofit information dissemination organization WikiLeaks accused the former
secretary of state of underplaying the support that the country’s allies in the Middle East
provide to the extremist group behind numerous deaths across the world.

Assange, who has been seeking refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London since 2012,
and his organization released over 30,000 emails from Clinton’s private server, along with
about 20,000 emails from the Democratic National Committee and over 50,000 emails from
her campaign manager John Podesta.

One of these email exchanges between Clinton and Podesta, then an advisor to President
Barack Obama, had details of Clinton telling Podesta to “bring pressure” on the Middle
Eastern powers “which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL
[Islamic State, IS, ISIS] and other radical Sunni groups,” RT reported.

Link to RT story- ​https://www.rt.com/news/365299-assange-pilger-saudi-clinton/

Excerpt:

In a 2014 email made public by Assange’s WikiLeaks last month, Hillary Clinton, who had
served as secretary of state until the year before, urges John Podesta, then an advisor to
Barack Obama, to “bring pressure” on Qatar and Saudi Arabia, “which are providing
clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL [Islamic State, IS, ISIS] and other radical
Sunni groups.”

I think this is the most significant email in the whole collection,” Assange, whose
whistleblowing site released three tranches of Clinton-related emails over the past year, told
Pilger in an exclusive interview, courtesy of Dartmouth Films.

“All serious analysts know, and even the US government has agreed, that some Saudi
figures have been supporting ISIS and funding ISIS, but the dodge has always been that it is
some “rogue” princes using their oil money to do whatever they like, but actually the
government disapproves. But that email says that it is the government of Saudi Arabia, and
the government of Qatar that have been funding ISIS.”
