One of Hillary Clinton's closest advisers traveled to Libya on the dime of a controversial group that was paid by Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to enhance the strongman's public image in the U.S., WND has learned.

Anne-Marie Slaughter was considered one of the most influential officials at the State Department until she abruptly departed last month. She served as State's director of policy and planning, where she spearheading major initiatives for Clinton.

WND has learned Slaughter, who continues to advise both Clinton and the State Department, also has been listed as "official talent" for Monitor Group, the Gadhafi-paid organization that has come under fire in recent days for sending influential U.S. citizens on trips to Libya as part of an imaging effort for the Libyan dictator.

Monitor Group's project for Gadhafi was officially called "The Project to Enhance the Public Image of Libya and Moammar Gadhafi."

The group's official summary memo of the project, obtained by WND, says Monitor Group has also been in discussion with philanthropist George Soros about ways to "advocate on Libya's behalf."

I expected this to be about Huma Abedin, Hillary's aide with close ties to Saudi Arabia. Turns out it's just Hillary's aide with close ties to Libya.

Democrats get their money from Unions and from Middle Eastern despots. Also, George Soros and perhaps Putin and from China.

And who knows? Maybe some actual Americans give money to the Democrats as well.

Caught with her fingers in the pie?...............

From the article:

"Monitor Group has also been in discussion with philanthropist George Soros about ways to "advocate on Libya's behalf."

Hmmmmmm....Hillary + Obama + Gadhafi + Soros =

It’s always the Clintons and their apologists blaming all of their friends, busisness associates, and employees for the crimes and crooked dealings, but the Clintons had nothing to do with it though. Yeah, people with great morals and character always are friends and associates who have very few of those traits.

So, if an American gives money to the democrats, does that make him/her an American? Or was James Watt right? (There are two kinds of people in the US: Democrats and Americans)

If-admittedly a big If-the people who founded and guided this nation ever regain control it will take years to purge the government of the vermin appointed by “The Divine One” and his apostles. Scandal after scandal center upon the advisors and office holders.

Lefties love dictators in power-it’s only when it looks like the dictator may be deposed, or worse, that the left gets all self-righteous about human rights abuses.

I believe that some Americans donate to the Democrats.

But I know how much Democrats give to charity (it's not much). And I know that Michael Moore and Stephen King want me to pay more in taxes, but as far as I can see they aren't voluntarily sending in money to the US Treasury.

I think a very small percentage of money that goes to the Democrats is coming from the typical sort of US citizen. Some does. But not much.

In saner times this behavior would be called what it is...TREASON!

This is the kind of WND story you really need to hold at arms length. They have been know to make something out of nothing.

Not saying they are in this case. I’m just saying.

I wonder if she’s related to Congress Critter Louise Slaughter.
