Giuliani Defends Ties to Qatar
WSJ ^ | 121007 | MARY JACOBY and CHIP CUMMINS

Posted on 12/10/2007 7:32:51 AM PST by Fred

The Qatar government in the mid-1990s invited al Qaeda operative Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his family to live in Qatar, the 9/11 commission found. Mr. Mohammed was given a job at the Qatar Ministry of Electricity and Water. At the time, Mr. Mohammed was under indictment in the Southern District of New York for his role in a plot to blow up U.S.-bound jetliners. He was also wanted for questioning in connection with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

In 1996, FBI agents arrived in Qatar to arrest Mr. Mohammed. But the Qataris resisted handing him over, and Mr. Mohammed slipped away, U.S. intelligence officials told the 9/11 commission. Mr. Mohammed went on to plan the Sept. 11 attacks.

Mr. Giuliani said yesterday that it was "completely distorted" to suggest his firm was being paid by the same people who helped Mr. Mohammed escape.

He is indeed. Plus, his record of marital fidelity puts Bill Clinton to shame. At least Chelsea doesn't hate Clinton, the way Giuliani's kids hate him.

Ah the sludge just pours from DNC/Hitlery Opposition Research.

We can just boil this down to “Giuliani’s firm which didn’t exist at the time aided and abetted Sheik Mohammad, whom in fact is one of Rudy’s best friends.” Isn’t that what we’re getting at with this story?

Run a WetVac down K Street and observe the corruption, the money laundering, the drug profits, the payoffs, and the murders that have been there for the last 50 years.

Yeah, that Rudy is a very bad man.

Does that include Clinton's rape of Juanita Brodderick? Or merely the paid floozies?

So because lots of people are corrupt in Washington, it's just hunky-dory for us to nominate a corrupt scumbag as candidate for President of the United States?

I'm sorry but the...

"Our criminal amoral degenerate isn't as bad as your criminal amoral degenerate"
defense of Rooty, or any GOP candidate, ain't gonna fly.

And any conservative, let alone 'republican', that pushes that line of baloney should be ashamed.

Character does count.

Feinstein Reunites With Ex-Staffer Who Worked With Fusion GPS On Trump-Russia Investigation
Daily Caller ^ | 11/07/19| CHUCK ROSS

Posted Libloather

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein reunited with a former Senate Intelligence Committee staffer who worked with Fusion GPS and dossier author Christopher Steele to continue investigating the now-debunked Trump-Russia conspiracy theory after President Donald Trump took office.

**SNIP**

Fusion GPS had hired Steele a year earlier on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC to investigate Trump’s possible links to Russia. Democrats paid Fusion GPS more than $1 million for that project. Fusion, which is based in Washington, D.C., paid Steele $170,000.

A Washington-based attorney with links to Steele told the Daily Caller News Foundation in 2018 that Jones told him during a meeting in March 2017 that Fusion GPS functioned as a “shadow media organization” to disseminate information about Trump and Russia.

**SNIP**

Glenn Simpson, the founder of Fusion GPS, was also spotted at the event.
