None of this is true, other than she was born in Iran, to U.S. Citizens.
Oh yes, she played to Daley Machine in Chicago like a violin, had to, just to stay in business, so she bribed, and bribed well.
Do you remember, as I do what Obama's first 'foreign policy initiative' was? Why, he staked the prestige of the office he had then just obtained in a gamble to get the Olympics to Chicago. Valerie Jarrett was poised to make a real financial killing if this happened, by selling some of her slum properties (not so coincidentally putting the dwellers therein out on the street), for new Olympic event venues.
The gamble failed because Obama was such a tyro, or so arrogant as to believe that all he had to do was show up, and Jarrett and her cronies would get their windfalls. Thus he owes/owed her (and possibly others), for that fiasco...

They forgot to mention VJ also speaks French, in addition to Persian (Farsi). Both languages with a foreign accent, which means she learned both languages after she left Iran at the age of 5, and certainly is not a native (farsi or french) speaker.
VJ was born to American parents, both parents U.S. citizens; her father was working in Iran at the time (during the Shah's era). VJ has NO Iranian heritage or ancestry.
If she chooses to call herself an Iranian (she or whoever says so needs to provide proof) or a muslim (Muslim is a religion, not nationality) for the Iranian part it doesn't mean she is an Iranian.
Her affiliation & political orientation, whatever they may be are not due to her being born in Iran over 3 decades ago, to American/U.S. citizens parents.
Lastly, to be able to legitimately and credibly call someone an Iranian, those who claim that about VJ, need to provide an Iranian birth certificate (issued during the Shah's era, when she was born, or even a current one), AND, a current Iranian passport. Neither one exists.
Her family owned two communist newspapers in Chicago.
A search of Jarrett and communism will dig up a wealth of INFO.
Whatever....
