Accused Saddam Agent Says He Met With Hillary at White House

Accused Saddam Agent Says He Met With Hillary at White House By IRA STOLL, STAFF REPORTER OF THE SUN | March 27, 2008

A Michigan man facing federal criminal charges of illegally working for Saddam Hussein's Iraqi Intelligence Service says he met with Hillary Clinton at the White House in May 1996.

In a 1997 interview with this reporter, Muthanna Hanooti said that at the meeting, Mrs. Clinton was "very receptive" to his request for an easing of the American sanctions on Iraq that were in place at the time. He said Mrs. Clinton "passed a message to the State Department" about the need to implement the oil-for-food deal, which was intended to allow Saddam to sell billions of dollars' worth of oil to pay for food for Iraqi citizens.

Back in 1997, a spokesman for the first lady referred inquiries about the meeting to the National Security Council. At the time, a spokesman for the National Security Council, Eric Rubin, responded by saying that President Clinton, not the first lady, sets foreign policy.

Asked whether Senator Clinton recalls the meeting or whether the presidential campaign had any further comment on the meeting in light of Mr. Hanooti's indictment, the Clinton presidential campaign yesterday offered no formal response.

1) Did Saddamite money get into the 1996 Clintonista campaign? Why was Shrillary taking a WH meeting with this guy?? 2) Did Saddamite money later get laundered into the Clinton Library??

Not sure or have any confidence we will ever know all the secrets of the Clintons. But given how Hillary made money on 'cattle futures' there seems to be NO doubt she and her hubby are the epitome of 'evil rich' venture capitalist. Interesting how they can't wait to punish a company like Exxon, whose benefactors include teachers unions, and other unions pension investments. All Exxon needs to do is DUMP off a few paper bags of cash in Bill's global slush fund and Hillary would stop itching about their wealth in an instant.

The islamofascists want Obama to win. They follow our American politics very closely.

Maybe this is calculated.

She let others do the less rewarding grunt work and work that might require a broad-ranging knowledge base or subtle discernment, while she herself remained inclined to "slog through" as many cases that smelled of graft as she could make time available, using the potential dollar amounts as the best measure of their priority.

She certainly has some experience there. /s

the Clinton presidential campaign yesterday offered no formal response

We can hold our breath for Hillary's response because she will probably soon state that she "does not recall," that meeting. Or, that she "met a lot of people," while in the White House and "cannot possibly remember what they talked about." At any rate she is sure to offer one of her typical memory-lapse excuses.

Meanwhile, she "recalled" being a participant in the Irish peace talks (which she was not) and dodging sniper bullets with her daughter in Bosnia (which was a lie). or that Chelsea was near the Towers in NY on 9/11, or that she did not know how all those "lost" files were found in her bedroom, etc. The lesson everyone should have learned about Hillary by now is that whatever she says, the truth is always 180 degrees the opposite of her statement.

Hillary needs to become President to completely clean up the dirt of her previous “administration”.

Al Hanooti is connected to Susan Lindhauer, the gal who worked for Iraq on delivering backchannel communications in an effort to bribe the admin into taking oil deals instead of launching an invasion of Iraq.

Susan Lindhauer’s brother, IIRC, said she had foreknowledge of 9/11 ... she also had inquired about chemicals to sanitize her steering wheel which had something to do with a rash on her arms.

She was kind of busy in May 1996:

MAY 1, 1996 : (HILLARY CLINTON CAUGHT IN LIE IN WHITEWATER CASE) Whitewater prosecutors identified inconsistencies with Hillary Rodham Clinton’s sworn statement regarding a meeting she had with the Clinton’s Whitewater partner James McDougal. Mrs. Clinton stated previously she discussed an overdue legal bill with McDougal in April 1985. But that bill was paid off in 1984, according to the president of one of McDougal’s banks, and Rose law firm records also show that a $5,000 payment was made in November 1984.

MAY 6, 1996 : (HILLARY CLINTON’S & VINCE FOSTER’S FINGERPRINTS FOUND ON MISSING ROSE LAW FIRM BILLING RECORDS— See WHITEWATER) Newsweek reported that the First Lady’s fingerprints appeared on Rose Law Firm billing records that were belatedly discovered. Also found were prints of former aide Vincent Foster, and four law firm aides on the billing records that had been missing for two years.

MAY 1996 : (CLINTON ADMINISTRATION SAYS IT WILL NOT IMPOSE SANCTIONS FOR CHINESE RING MAGNET SALE TO PAKISTAN- — See RING MAGNETS) Clinton Administration announces it will not impose sanctions on China for selling sensitive nuclear-related equipment (ring magnets) to Pakistan. - “U.S.-China Techonology Transfer: Annotated Timeline 1980-January 1998,” by Bates Gill, GlobalBeat, NYU.edu, June 22, 1998

1996 summer : (WASHINGTON [DC?] — DNC FUNDRAISER AT EDWARD M GABRIEL’S HOME -— See ATFL, HAZEL O’LEARY, LEBANON, HARIRI, IRAQ’S SADDAM HUSSEIN) [Edward M.] Gabriel’s ATFL [American Task Force for Lebanon] has received two grants from the Clinton administration: $100,000 from the Agency for International Development in 1993 to host a conference on Lebanon, and another $25,000 in 1995 to conduct a symposium on Lebanon’s capital markets — a topic of great interest to Hariri, who has single-handedly floated several hundred million dollars in Lebanese government bonds on the international market to support his construction projects. ...
Also under scrutiny are [Eward M.] Gabriel’s links to former Energy Secretary Hazel O’Leary, who’s already the subject of a Justice Department preliminary probe that could lead to the appointment of an independent counsel. Gabriel, a long-time friend of O’Leary’s, invited her to be guest of honor at a $100,000 DNC fundraiser that he held at his Washington home in the summer of 1996. On the résumé distributed by the White House, Gabriel is listed as an “energy consultant.” But the background bio that’s being circulated by the ATFL in support of his nomination states he worked as an “adviser to Secretary of Energy Hazel O’Leary.” -———— “Al Gore’s Arab Moneyman ; The story of a suspended ambassadorial nomination ,” by Kenneth R.
