It's not the overt issue of economics with Saudi Arabia I have an issue with. More the covert or blatant disregard that they have for human decency. And yes if one of their diplomats or citizens is in a lovely situations a contribution of $25 million would be used as a bartering tool. Just as happened after 9/11 and many Saudis were allowed to leave the country the day of, as well as the proven fact that their secret service was working with elements close to OBL, hence the above senate bill.

$25 million is a rounding error of a donation considering that just one of the saudi royal family has pledged to donate $32 billion to charity. No really, $25 million is less than 0.08% of what only one of them has pledged, and that it ended up in one of the largest and most well respected charities in the world that lists womans issues as one of it's 5 core issues is again not surprising in the least bit.

Anyone else think the Clinton campaign is intentionally holding back on using their oppo research until sooner to the election? People have short memories and it seems the Khan gaffe has already been collectively forgotten. Clinton's campaign has been spending money in red states; is it optimism or do they know something we don't about Trump? Admittedly it's hard to think of anything that could be revealed that is more disqualifying for Trump to be president than what we already know about him.

I agree with everything else you said, but I absolutely think that the Clinton camp is holding back a lot of oppo research since the only adds that have been attacking him have been super focused ones in red states about Trump stiffing contractors, and their internal polling has to be positive as gently caress considering how great the public polling has been for her. As far as the most damning thing that could come out about Trump, that would be that he's not even a billionaire though since his entire brand is built on that image alone.

The fact is that the factual statement that 85 of 154 people that Hillary met outside her official duties as a cabinet minister donated to her foundation, looks really, really bad, all on its own, and it's not the AP or NYT's responsibility to mitigate the implications of those facts. I'm sure there are good reasons for all of those meetings, but there might be good reasons for any activity that looks incredibly suspicious. And anyways outside of 2 of those cases, the Bangladeshi guy and the Holocaust survivor, the reasons aren't public to my knowledge. Sorry

It only looks bad if you have your head up your rear end though.. maybe look into that.
