*Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee' is the entity responsible for organizing the Gulf state's 2022 World Cup bid and the resulting preparations
*FIFA itself is also listed as a donor to the foundation, giving up to $100,000
*Clinton Foundation website discloses donations from the committee of between $250,001 and $500,000, including a donation in 2014
*Qatar itself has donated betwen $1 million and $5 million to the foundation, and did it before 2014
*The tiny Middle Eastern country won the rights to host the 2022 global soccer tournament in December 2010
*Clinton Foundation later said Qatar worked toward 'utilizing its research and development for sustainable infrastructure at the 2022 FIFA World Cup'
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.

When there is corruption on an international scale can a Clintoon be far from it ? My 1st thought when I heard of this was "where was Bubba? "

Turns out Bubba needed 3 hands for all the grease he received . He travels to Zurich with Eric Holder to lobby the US case to host the games.A junket paid for by the US taxpayer .
He then received a nice check from a country competing with the US for the bid. You know Qatar ...home of the Great Wahabbi Mosque and al-Jazeera.Where a thousand workers have perished building soccer stadiums .They eventually win the bid by being bigger sleezeballs than Bubba.
He then received a small consolation reward from FIFA as they award the games to a country completely unsuited for hosting them.
Holder must not have been pleased . He is the one who initiated the investigation. Maybe he was looking for some grease too .Or maybe this investigation is the equivalence of Vince Foster's body in the park ;or FBI filed being found in Evita Clinton's office.
Meanwhile for Bubba ,the money keeps rolling in .
