New emails and documents uncover ties between the Clintons and an Islamic imam from Turkey who has been in self-exile in Pennsylvania since 1999.
According to The Daily Caller, several pieces of evidence tie the Clintons to Fethullah Gulen, against whom Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has launched a crackdown.

As always, Soros and Pondesto appear when researching connections between the Clintons and other shady groups / organizations, including links to the CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS ( CAP ).
CAP's Relationship with Turkey's Islamist, Jihad-Supporting Regime
On May 14, 2013, CAP issued a report titled “Freedom of the Press and Expression in Turkey,” which downplayed the increasingly authoritarian crackdown on the media by Turkey's jihad-supporting prime minister, Tayyip Erdogan, whose Islamist party was already moving inexorably to transform the secular Turkish republic into an Islamic state. At that time, Turkish prisons held 49 of the 232 journalists who were incarcerated worldwide—more than any other country on Earth. In addition, as former Middle East Pentagon advisor Michael Rubin noted, Erdogan was in the habit of personally suing “even political cartoonists who lampoon him and his government.” Notwithstanding the foregoing facts, the CAP report whitewashed Erdogan’s crackdown as a “necessary, if sometimes unpleasant, correction” that would ultimately result in democratic reforms. Asserting that “the blame [for the crackdown] must not be placed solely on the government,” but also on anti-government ethnic groups such as the Kurds who had fomented unrest and provoked government suppression. “Turkey today is more democratic than in the past, if perhaps less socially liberal,” said the report.
The CAP report was partially funded by the Turkish branch of George Soros’s Open Society Institute. Even more significantly, the report failed to disclose that a Turkish business group named TUSKON, which had close ties to the Erdogan government, had donated large sums of money to CAP in order to gain entrance into the latter's exclusive Business Alliance. Known for lobbying government officials and forming business relationships with Western organizations (such as CAP), TUSKON serves as the business arm of the so-called Gulen movement—named after Fethullah Gulen, a charismatic spiritual leader devoted to spreading Islamist theology across the globe. Moreover, TUSKON and CAP had jointly hosted annual “fact finding” trips to Turkey, where participants enjoyed access to senior Turkish government officials. Reporter Ken Silverstein wrote, “A former CAP staffer told me that TUSKON … ‘could call anyone in the government and get us a meeting or interview.’ As a result of the Turkish group’s support, CAP was ‘totally in the tank for them.’”
It should also be noted that the CAP report obscured not only Ergodan's press crackdown but also the nature of the Armenian genocide, in which Turkey had systematically slaughtered more than a million Armenians beginning in 1915. The report only refers to the genocide in non-judgmental terms, as “the death of more than 1 million Armenians during and after the First World War.”

There must be a clue here..
Makes it sound like he ever wanted control of it in the first place
Is there anything that Hillary won’t screw up for money?

Bill Clinton?
There’s a real conflict of interest here if she should become president. Taking money from exhiled members of a party bent on overthrowing a NATO government.
When one lives in a Banana Republic, such as the U.S., conflicts of interest are irrelevant.
Hopefully, DJT will turn our ship around and prosecute the crimminals.

This whole Gulen thing is a Red Herring.
This was all Erdogan, he just needed a flimsy excuse.
NATO ally Turkey has blacklisted Fethullah Gulen, an influential cleric who is in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, US, including him in a list of most-wanted terrorists, along with leaders of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Islamic State (Isis).source
And now, Erdoğan calls on Obama to extradite ‘terrorist’ Fethullah Gülen to Turkey for trial – video source
It is OK though,he is a good guy because in 2001 he said: "I would like to stress that any terrorist activity, no matter who does it and for what purpose, is the greatest blow to peace, democracy, humanity, and all religious values. For this reason, no one—and certainly no Muslims – can approve of any terrorist activity. Terror has no place in one’s quest to achieve independence or salvation. It costs the lives of innocent people." source
There is indeed a Turkey here. Per quroa, more people have died in the name of religion than for other causes.
ScuzBucketGranny will sell out to anyone, any country for filthy lucre. The woman is guilty of High Treason and extremely Dangerous.

The CIA certainly hasn’t helped matters in that area.
Well, well, well. Looky here...
well it’s already “very ugly” and out of control, but it can still get even worse...... Hillary and Obama thought it would be fun to unleash the Muslim Brotherhood and other forces for evil, all over the Middle East/North Africa, and many countries are paying the price.
Ah, i missed your ping. Disregard mine. Digesting it all now, and thanks for the ping.
