TRUMP'S PICK FOR FBI DIRECTOR TIED TO SHARIAH-COMPLIANT DEALS
wnd.com ^ | 6/8/2017 | LEO HOHMANN

Posted on 06/09/2017 1:55:13 PM PDT by Maceman

Shariah law is like a mysterious “other” for most Westerners, who may know of its intolerance of other religions and its criminal codes that call for stoning adulterers and the cutting off of limbs for petty thieves. But few know there is a portion of Shariah that includes a thriving area of finance — deals for real estate and business transactions taking place all over the world with Arab money.

President Donald Trump’s pick to head the FBI, Christopher Wray, surely knows something about this segment of Shariah. Wray is a litigation partner at King & Spalding, which is one of the leading conduits for Shariah-compliant Islamic deal-making around the world. The firm prides itself in its connections to wealthy Middle Eastern investment groups.

According to its website, King & Spalding is a global leader in Islamic finance and investment. It was one of the first American law firms to aid Islamic investors in accumulating assets in the West. The King & Spalding website states:

“Our work in the Middle East and our experience with Islamic finance date back to the early 1980s. In 1995, we were the first law firm to establish a dedicated Islamic finance and investment practice group. Our award-winning group has been successful in developing the legal architecture needed by our clients to break new ground in this specialized field. We are the only law firm with recognized experience and the depth to structure and implement sophisticated Shari’ah-compliant investment and financing transactions in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.”

Good question.

From Wikipedia...

In 2003, President George W. Bush nominated Wray as assistant attorney general in charge of the Criminal Division of the Justice Department.[8] Wray was unanimously confirmed by the Senate.[9] Wray was assistant attorney general from 2003 to 2005, working under Deputy Attorney General James Comey. While heading the Criminal Division, Wray oversaw prominent fraud investigations, including Enron.[7][10]

______________________________________________

In case you missed it - he spent a few years in Justice.

Under.

James.

Comey.

IMO - he is not good.

King and Spalding would probably be my last choice among the big Atlanta law firms.

So, let me get this straight. The new FBI Director will understand the Shariah-based financing networks that fund Terrorism and this, some how, is a bad thing?

 

Yep. A bad thing. In that he profited from these wealthy muslims that funded terrorism. And they in turn profited from his legal expertise. To fund terror on a world wide basis.

Wray has blood on his hands.

Oh yoooooooooo hooooooooooooooooo...it's Wray's firm, NOT Wray, himself, that deals with REAL ESTATE DEALS, for Muslims.

I don't know if you are self-employed or work for a company; however, IF you work for a company and another employee of that company donates to and votes DEM....are YOU then also complicate in that?

Mull that over and then reply honestly.

My questions are laid out as follows:

1. If Shariah Compliant Investing (SCI) the only legal area that is practiced by the law firm of King & Spalding?

2. If the answer to no. 1 is NO, what percentage of the firm’s practice is devoted to SCI?

3. With respect to no. 3, was Mr. Wray actively involved in SCI cases and if so, what percentage of his time was devoted to SCI?

4. If Mr. Wray was involved in SCI cases with King & Spalding, did he actively seek out relationships, contacts, contracts, dealmaking with SCI clients? Was he instrumental in establishing SCI with King & Spalding?

5. Is Mr. Wray a Muslim?

6. Does Mr. Wray believe, tolerate, or sympathize with Sharia law and its radical elements?

7. If Mr. Wray is confirmed as Director of the FBI, will he focus efforts on Islamic Terrorism including Sharia advocates as harboring radical Islamic elements?

8. What is SCI? Does it have any connection to Islamic terrorist elements? Did Mr. Wray have any knowledge or suspicion that his firm’s SCI clients might have ties to terrorism? If so, what was Mr. Wray’s position on this line of work of his firm?

I see what you are saying! It is much better to have a certified swamp creature who only made money from the US Tax Payers to be FBI Director. Preferably, one who is closely tied to the Clinton/Bush crime family. Yeah! That is the ticket!

Wray is a partner in that firm.

There really is no distinction between him and his firm enabling terrorism

My guess is that President Trump knows more about this guy Wray than most in here commenting about his appointment...

Since President Trump has been elected and inaugurated, almost evrything he has done or said has been questioned by some in FR...And almost all of it has proven to be the correct action or statement...

Why do so many here rush to judgement without any knowledge of what has transpired????

Yup. This is a complete nothingburger to get WND some hits. Using this “standard,” any company that does business in the Middle East while respecting its beliefs and traditions is “colluding.”

WOW....that's some stretch!

So whomever works/ed in whatever law firm Bernie Madoff used, but had NOTHING at all to do with him, in any way, is now also guilty of being involved in that PONZI scheme?

What about all of the dealers/brokers/backroom guys who were trading/selling/doing paperwork for companies that dealt in NADQ, when Madoff headed it, are also now somehow "guilty" too?

Sharia law is a form of ecclesiastical law. Implementing any Sharia Law in local, state or federal government would abrogate the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States.

Wray surely must know this. Or he will preside over the beginnings of a Civil War in America.

Oh FFS. You can find this six degrees of separation with every person in the world. Not productive or informative.

Are you being sarcastic?

Wray has close ties to James Comey. He worked under him in the Justice Dept.

So when you rah-rah-rah for one with close ties to the Clinton/Bush crime family, then OK.

I see why you like Wray.

You really are grasping at a nonexistent straw.

Did you vote for Trump?

The principal is the “house,” the interest is the “monthly rent.”

So, under Sharia, you pay first month, last month, and all in between up front. Sounds like a deal to me.

I can’t really speak about those guys.

And yeah. I may be over stating the issues here. Don’t mean to be a Drama Queen, but I still have hard concerns over some DC lawyer representing wealthy muzzies.

Not to mention the fact this guy has almost zero law enforcement credentials.
