Wikileaks: Qatar gave $1 million check to Clinton Foundation for Bill’s birthday

Bill Clinton got a $1 million birthday present from Qatar, according to Wikileaks.
You’d smile too if you got a $1 million check for your birthday.

Talk about pay for play!  According to an email recently released by Wikileaks, the Islamist state of Qatar gave former President Bill Clinton a check for $1 million for his birthday in 2012.

The email, which can be seen here, indicates that the Ambassador from Qatar said he “[w]ould like to see WJC ‘for five minutes’ in NYC, to present $1 million check that Qatar promised for WJC’s birthday in 2011.”

The Daily Caller noted:

The email was sent to a number of Clinton aides, including Doug Band.

In another email two years later, Hillary Clinton noted that Qatar aides and abets the Islamic State and Sunni terrorist groups.

“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,” Clinton wrote.

The email added: “Qatar would welcome our suggestions for investments in Haiti – particularly on education and health. They have allocated most of their $20 million but are happy to consider projects we suggest. I’m collecting input from CF Haiti team.”

No doubt the Clintons will blame this on the Russians…

The Daily Caller added:

The email thread also indicates foundation officials attempted to schedule a meeting with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. “I pitched CGI, again, and will continue to do so,” Desai wrote.

Rouseff has since been impeached for corruption, though the allegations concerning her administration had not surfaced during the time the email was written.
