@derekwillis is he allowed to pay his own companies?

@ssdatar he is, as long as he charges himself fair market value.

@derekwillis @ssdatar are Saudi princes allowed to pay Hillary?

@Bambam8109 @ssdatar they can't give to her campaign, no.

@derekwillis @Bambam8109 @ssdatar Please do not be naive. https://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2016/03/17/hillary-clinton-campaign-totals-13-fundraisers-in-foreign-countries/ …

@crlegalfunding @Bambam8109 @ssdatar I'm not. Foreign nationals are barred from giving by federal law. Americans living overseas can.

@derekwillis @Bambam8109 @ssdatar These “foreign nationals” include foreign governments, political parties, corporations, ......cont...

@derekwillis your point? Hillary funded by Saudi blood money.

@Q_Spawn_Q Clinton foundation is; not her campaign.

@derekwillis really. So that makes it ok? Move along your part of the problem. I dont support either candidate. So u know.

@Q_Spawn_Q how is reporting what candidates spend money on part of the problem?

@derekwillis are u a Hillary supporter? You also condone blood money to presidential candidates charities. U dont think that's wrong?

@Q_Spawn_Q I'm a reporter. I try to report what I find and let people decide what they condone or not.

@derekwillis where can I read your articles. Send me the link and ill chk for bias. Fair?

@derekwillis @desmoinesdem what percentage is this, of total expenditures for the reporting period?

@jbelcap @desmoinesdem not very much, actually. doesn't include $5 million for his plane or $423k for Mar-a-Lago, though.

@derekwillis @desmoinesdem if you included those?

@jbelcap @desmoinesdem somewhere around 10%.

@derekwillis @desmoinesdem he spent$70MM?

@jbelcap @desmoinesdem his campaign has spent about $64 million so far: https://projects.propublica.org/itemizer/committee/C00580100/2016 …

@derekwillis @desmoinesdem I was talking about whatever reporting period you initially used. I had assumed it was just May.
