Hillary Has Received More $$$$ From Arms & Military Service Corps Than Any Other 2016 Candidate

http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Clinton-Tops-List-of-Arms-Company-Donations-20151214-0002.html

Hillary Clinton has received more money from arms and military service companies than any other candidate during the 2016 presidential campaign, data from Open Secrets shows.

All but one of the world’s 10 biggest arms producers have contributed to Clinton’s previous campaigns, giving her – along with the top Republican receiver Ted Cruz – a significant margin over the other candidates.

The numbers, collected by the Federal Election Commission and compiled by Open Secrets, also reveal that Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders make the list of top 20 senators and top six presidential candidates to receive money from arms and defense companies.

Just as there was none when the Clinto Foundation received tens of millions from countries needing Hillary's approval for their arms deals.

Of course weapons manufacturers and military service companies would love her.

Some of the hi-tec, state-of-the-art military weapons she sells to brutal dictators (like Saudi Arabia) have wound up in the hands of ISIS.
