The New York Sun on Nov. 22, '04 reported that President Clinton’s library was funded in part by gifts of $1m or more each from the Saudi royal family & 3 Saudi businessmen. The governments of Dubai, Kuwait, & Qatar & the deputy prime minister of Lebanon all also appear to have donated $1m or more.
On October 10, 2005, CNN reported that Ex-FBI Director, Louis Freesh, said Clinton failed to seek Saudi cooperation in the investigation into the Khobar Towers attack of '96, which killed 19 U.S. airmen, that he effectively closed the investigation down. He said Clinton opted to press then-Crown Prince Abdullah for a donation to his presidential library instead.
Freesh said no access to Saudi suspects was allowed until Former President Bush intervened & asked Abdullah for assistance.
Freesh had written a letter to Janet Reno asking for an Independent Counsel to look into this & other campaign/finance violations, but Reno refused to do so.
Why is this info overlooked by the Clinton crowd?
