   WikiLeaks: Among the more intriguing revelations from the dump   
   of Hillary Clinton's emails is her frightening admission that   
   both Qatar and Saudi Arabia, often lauded as "moderates" in the   
   Islamic world, are both helping to finance the Islamic State and   
   other radical Islamic groups.   
      
   In an August 17, 2014, email to her campaign chairman John   
   Podesta, Hillary outlined a plan to beat ISIS in Iraq and Syria   
   using U.S. "advisers," but no U.S. ground troops.   
      
   Tucked into the email, however, was this: "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."   
      
   Excuse us? Our supposed Mideast allies are funding our terrorist   
   foes — the very ones now sending deep-cover terrorists into the   
   West, hidden among the human flood of hundreds of thousands of   
   Mideast and North African Muslim refugees?   
      
   Without comment, the Daily Caller puts this into bigger   
   perspective: "Qatar has given between $1 million and $5 million   
   to the Clinton Foundation and Saudi Arabia has donated upward of   
   $25 million to the Foundation."   
      
   So the Clinton Foundation knew that both Qatar and Saudi Arabia   
   were financing terrorists, but took their money anyway. Just to   
   be clear, this may also have had a major impact on U.S. policy   
   while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.   
      
   In 2010, Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Shapiro called the   
   sale of $60 billion in F-15 fighter jets, helicopters and other   
   lethal equipment to the Saudis a "top priority" for Hillary   
   Clinton personally. A year later, the jet part of the deal was   
   consummated at a price tag of $29 billion.   
      
   Hillary's advocacy on behalf of the Saudis did not go   
   unrewarded. "As weapons transfers were being approved, both the   
   Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Boeing made donations to the Clinton   
   Foundation," wrote Lee Fang, at the website The Intercept.   
      
   Meanwhile, International Business Times, in an analysis of State   
   Department and Clinton Foundation data from 2010 to 2012, found   
   that "the State Department approved $165 billion worth of   
   commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given   
   money to the Clinton Foundation." That was nearly twice the   
   amount of arms sales for the same nations approved under Bush.   
      
   "In all, governments and corporations involved in the arms deals   
   approved by Clinton's State Department have delivered between   
   $54 million and $141 million to the Clinton Foundation as well   
   as hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments to the Clinton   
   family," the IBT analysis concluded.   
      
   We wrote about this apparent corruption earlier this year, with   
   the Clintons taking as much as $130 million from their friends   
   in a handful of authoritarian nations in the Mideast. The most   
   recent details only confirm that the willingness of Hillary   
   Clinton to put the State Department's power and prestige up for   
   sale to enrich her own family foundation knew no bounds.   
   Apparently, that even extends to lining their pockets with money   
   from those who support terrorism.
