A former ambassador to Iraq and Afghanistan was being investigated by U.S. authorities for suspected money laundering through his wife's bank account.
The suspicions center on Zalmay Khalilzad's alleged transfer of $1.5 million in May 2013 to an account in Vienna owned by Cheryl Benard.

AND THIS News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special management alert warned significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.
Becoming president has a pretty good monetary return. That poor boy from Hope, Ark, made over $200,000,000.00 (that we know of) as a public servant.
============================================
Gaming the system is the name of the Clinton game---the conniving Clintons will say and do anything to get their filthy hands on our tax dollars.
BACKSTORY When Billy, the Boy From Hope, burst upon the political scene as a presidential candidate....he duped the voters and coached his Arkansas Mafia friends to say, Money doesnt mean anything to Bill Clinton"........ =============================================
Lawyers Bill and Hillary have held no other jobs but public service---they didn't have a pot to *** in in Arkansas---didn't even own a home. But they are experts at gaming the "public service" system for themselves. The Clintons conniving has enriched them. They are now worth hundreds of millions of dollars.....and counting.
How did they make the money? In several ways.
(1) Bill's calculated moves w/ his presidential pen and official policies profited numerous cronies and entities.....who are now being hit up for donations to the three Clinton tax-exempt "foundations which they evolved into some 14 fund-raising mechanisms.....and to further Hillary's ambitions.
(2) Bill's pardon pen was useful in pardoning diverse voting blocs which got Hillary elected to the US Senate as a prelude to her presidential ambitions.
(3) The Clintons game the system 24/7....
Former Guatemala Prez used US banks to launder millions (elected to "redistribute" nation's wealth)
An ex-president of Guatemala faced charges in NY that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to redistribute Guatemalas wealth.
Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for Libraries for Peace....books for school kids.
Portillo personally endorsed three, $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter .....the money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillos ex-wife and daughter.
Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...and plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator through overdrafts financed by public reserves -- stolen money paid for expensive watches and cars, for himself and his associates, according to the indictment. (NY POST 5/28/13)

$6 billion missing?
I think ISIS found it.
“REDISTRIBUTING WEALTH” usually means the politician will take the taxpayer dollars and give it to themselves, their cronies, and family members....or corrupt companies who will kickback a few hundred thousand as political donations.
And we wonder at how minorities can get so angry over profiling. Better update the criteria. Oh wait, who writes the criteria?
Sorry to hear it. He was a great help to us
