The Chelsea Clinton fundraiser that should worry Hillary’s pro-Israel backers
The Washington Post ^ | January 2, 2016 | Jennifer Rubin

For $250,”friends” — or $1000 for a “champion” (photo included) — you too can attend a fundraiser with Chelsea Clinton for her mother at the home of Michael and Sholeh Chegini in Newport Coast, California, according to an invitation to the event obtained by Right Turn. Michael Chegini served on the board of directors and thereafter the advisory board of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a notorious group with links to the Iranian regime that opposed, among other things, any sanctions on Iran.

“The Clintons never miss an opportunity to put money ahead of principle,” a spokesman for the Republican Jewish Coalition told me. “They should know better than raising money from folks whose primary concern has been supporting the NIAC — a notorious supporter of the Radical Islamic Mullahs in Iran.  Instead as is always the case, the Clintons have thrown principle out the window in exchange for cold hard cash.”

-snip-

It does however suggest that the Clintons are quite comfortable with taking money from people with ties to apologists for the Iranian regime. It is not clear whether this falls under the category of the Clintons willingness to take money for themselves and their foundation from scoundrels and despots (e.g. Arab countries that oppress women, Russian uranium oligarchs) or whether this signals specifically that propagandists for Iran would have Hillary Clinton’s ear should she make it to the White House. Former ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton sees it as the latter. “This is yet more evidence that a Clinton foreign policy on Iran will be no different from what we have now,” he told me.

So they’re whoring out their daughter. She owes them. A 10 Million Dollar NYC central park overlook, massively unjustified overpaid jobs since she graduated/transitioned through no less than four universities ‘having completed’ MPHIL, DPHI and public health programs......Are they’re actual degrees conferred in anything? Maybe the one in Public Health is one....who knows.

No wonder why all the Washington 'Rat Pack, including Her Royal Thighness, concocted that dangerous deal with Iran which will only encourage Iran's progression toward nuclear weapon capability.

A big friend of the current Iranian Islamic regime (and maybe a lot more such friends) is raising megabucks for the Witch's campaign, so the Zero Administration gives Iran whatever they want. Tit for Tat with Iran the Dummycrat way, with the compliant GOP Senate making a deal so that Iran treaty did not require the Constitutionally mandated two-thirds vote in the Senate for ratification.

This is simply evil consorting with evil!

The Witch should not have any pro-Israel backers at all! Just check out her record: anti-Israel and antisemitic!

This couple held a fundraiser for Obama on June 12, 2007 at their home in Orange County.

Is that Pelosi’s district?
