Michael Bard, The Arab Lobby and Clinton Corruption
Author Michael Bard discusses his book "The Arab Lobby," detailing how Saudi Arabia uses a top-down approach to influence U.S. decision-makers. He cites the University of Arkansas receiving millions in Saudi funding after Bill Clinton became a presidential candidate as a primary example of "cushy" post-office compensation.
George W. Bush Presidential Library Fundraising and Saudi Funding
The George W. Bush Presidential Library has reportedly raised $100 million in just 100 days using a fundraising structure similar to a modern political campaign. Comparisons are made to the Clinton Library, which faced scrutiny over delayed pledges and significant donations from Saudi Arabian benefactors.
The funding of the Clinton Presidential Library by anonymous and foreign donors, including Saudi interests, is examined as a form of legalized bribery. The high speaking fees earned by Bill Clinton post-presidency are characterized as "quid pro quo" payments for deals made while in office, bypassing traditional corruption laws.
