Clinton Foundation got huge payoffs from Qatar and FIFA regarding 2022 World Cup

Daily Mail - From Wikileaks emails
The fast-moving FIFA bribery scandal now has a Clinton connection, after news that the nation of Qatar and its 2022 World Cup organizing committee - and even FIFA itself - donated between $1.3 million and $5.55 million to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.
The scandal-hit football world authority is listed by the foundation as having handed over at least $50,001 and as much as $100,000 to the Clinton's controversial organization in a direct cash injection at some point before 2014.
There were also far larger donations from the Qatari committee which won the Middle Eastern nation its position as host of the 2022 World Cup, and Qatar's government.
The committee is listed on the foundation's website as having donated between $250,001 and $500,000, while the government of Qatar gave at least $1,000,000 and potentially as much as $5,000,000.

Think of the benefits that a World Cup in the USA would have brought to us - literally BILLIONS in publicity and would have dragged us kicking and screaming into the upper echelon of soccer nations.
All thrown away for a mere few million more dollars into their bullshite slush fund.

Sorry lads, but I do think it might be coming. The WikiLeaks today referenced this again and there is tons more where that came from.
I just thought this article was a little more viewer-friendly than today's WikiLeaks.

just because a person or organization donate to the CF, that doesn't automatically mean the Clinton's are involved in everything that person or organization is connected to.

not arguing that but these people, like they did with Obama, are literally blaming the Clinton's for everything wrong that has ever happened in the history of the world. It's gotten ridiculous and makes me less open to any sort of argument they want to make about it.

There are good things that come from a WC, but those aren't included.
Also, DM;dr

How exactly? I'm failing to see the connection between the billions in publicity and getting into the upper echelon of the sport.
Unless the WC goes to the funding of youth development, as large tournaments have done in Belgium, France, and Germany, the publicity isn't worth it, as it will be short-lived. We need large cash infusions yearly to develop an infrastructure that resembles the most competent soccer nations.

I'm not saying that it would bring us to the top of world soccer but you can't deny the publicity that this would bring to Parents who are looking for alternatives to football, baseball and basketball. The results wouldn't be immediate but it would help. The World Cup gets a lot of attention from people who don't care about soccer and if it's in the US even more so. As a fan of the Sport, there are no negatives to hosting the World Cup where US Soccer is concerned.
I want to see more info on this as well, I hate the Clintons but I don't blame them for everything, I mean there is probably 1 bad thing in the world they aren't responsible for!

LOLOL
You stuck your head so far into the sand, that it ended up in your own arse.
The Clintons know exactly the dime to the dollar that hits that account.

so this is what happens when politics and the SB collide
Posted on 10/14/16 at 8:32 pm to PeepleHeppinBidness
the worst part about this, was that Obama sent Bill Clinton to represent USA in getting the bid. Which really makes this, if true, dirty as frick.
