U.S. Ambassador To Belgium Howard Gutman, who was a top Obama campaign bundler, reportedly “solicited prostitutes, including minors.”
Gutman was also a Palin-basher who challenged her parenting skills.

The New York Post reported, via Weasel Zippers:
A State Department whistleblower has accused high-ranking staff of a massive coverup — including keeping a lid on findings that members of then-Secretary Hillary Clinton’s security detail and the Belgian ambassador solicited prostitutes.
A chief investigator for the agency’s inspector general wrote a memo outlining eight cases that were derailed by senior officials, including one instance of interference by Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills.
Any mention of the cases was removed from an IG report about problems within the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS), which provides protection and investigates crimes involving any State Department workers overseas.
“It’s a coverup,” declared Cary Schulman, a lawyer representing the whistleblower, former State Department IG senior investigator Aurelia Fedenisn.“The whole agency is impaired.
“Undue influence . . . is coming from political appointees. It’s coming from above the criminal- investigation unit,” added Schulman, whose client provided the document with the revelations.
Some of the revelations were first reported by CBS News.
Among the bombshell findings:
* A DS agent was called off a case against US Ambassador to Belgium Howard Gutman over claims that he solicited prostitutes, including minors.
“The agent began his investigation and had determined that the ambassador routinely ditched his protective security detail in order to solicit sexual favors from both prostitutes and minor children,” says the memo.
More… Hillary Clinton loyalists suspected of criminal cover-ups for diplomats.
So is Islam.
I once got lost driving through the Muslim quarter there in 1995. It was spooky even then.
Swirling around thighness since she was born is a portal to and from hell that attracts every maggot that picks up her scent.
He has those red framed funky Elton John/Barney Frank looking glasses....I would put money on he is a rump ranger.
Now, now. The Left calls prostitutes and porn stars “sex workers”, you know, part of “Workers of the world unite!” They need a union so they can avoid being exploited by their employers, doncha know,
So the ambassador used youngish sex workers. To call them “underage” is “ageist”, doncha know. They’re just sex workers, and they deserve to make a living like anybody else.
If people like the ambassador didn’t hire them, they might starve.
Harassing sex workers and their clients is sexist, ageist, and, well, there must be some other pc “ist” in there that I musta forgot.
(hoping I don’t need a /sarc tag)
So I wonder what the DUmp talks about these days? I’m tempted to go look...
So “traditional” Muslim hatred for Jews is understandable and not antisemitism?
According to Howard Gutman.
U.S. Ambassador To Belgium Howard Gutman — the truly ugly American.
Don’t know if its relevant, but some of the prostitutes involved in the Carlton Hotel (Dominique-Kahn) scandal were from Belgium.
Maybe Hillary had tutorials on how to cover up sex crimes and allegations—she has more experience in that field than just about anyone else in the US. Perfect person to run the State Department.
Just yesterday, Doug posted a story titled “Another day, another Obama Administration scandal.“ Today is no different.
Via Guy Benson at Townhall:
Did the State Department keep a known (or at least heavily suspected) pedophile on the job, try to block the investigation, then “water down” the final report? State denies any undue influence on internal probes, and the ambassador is decrying the allegations “smears.” Who is he? The New York Post unearths a name with deep financial ties to President Obama and Democrats:
A DS agent was called off a case against US Ambassador to Belgium Howard Gutman over claims that he solicited prostitutes, including minors. “The ambassador’s protective detail and the embassy’s surveillance detection team . . . were well aware of the behavior.” Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy ordered the investigation ceased, and the ambassador remains in place, according to the memo. Gutman was a big Democratic donor before taking the post, having raised $500,000 for President Obama’s 2008 campaign and helping finance his inaugural.
Why did Kennedy “order the investigation ceased”? The Post story also notes that Clinton’s Secretary of State Cheryl Mills — you remember her, too, right? — personally involved herself in a separate investigation, effectively shutting it down.
Charming behavior from Hillary’s State Department, no? They kept a man “in place,” representing our country while knowing, or at the least, “heavily” suspecting that he was a child predator. It’s disgusting.
It’s also highly ironic (and a bit disturbing) considering Ambassador Gutman’s comments about Governor Palin, back in 2008:
On the Laura Ingraham Radio show, Friday, attorney Howard Gutman — an original member of the national finance committee for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. — very directly criticized the parenting of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin…
Gutman said the issue wasn’t one of gender, but one of parenting -– regardless of the gender of the parent.
“This has nothing to do with gender, whether Todd Palin was the nominee or Sarah Palin was the nominee,” Gutman said. “If my daughter had just come home at 17 years old and said, ‘Mom, Dad, I’m pregnant, we have a family problem,’ I wouldn’t say, ‘You know what we’re going to do? We’re going to take this private family problem…and you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to go on the international stage and broadcast this to the world.’”
Gutman continued, “this wasn’t a working mother issue, this was a parent issue…The proper attack is not that a woman shouldn’t run for vice president with five kids, it’s that a parent, when they have a family in need, a Down’s baby who needs them — mother or father.”
“So you are judging her parenting skills,” Ingraham said. “You’re saying you don’t think she’s a good parent for doing this job.”
“I’m saying the proper criticism is not that it’s a woman or man – it doesn’t matter whether it’s Todd or Sarah,” Gutman said. “Think of how many politicians have said it’s not the right time in my family’s life for me to run.”
Fast-forward to 2013 and this arbiter of “good parenting” is most likely a pervert and a pedophile. Gutman’s suspected behavior and the State Department shutting down the investigation into it, is really just par for the course with the Obama administration. In 2008, Team Hope and Change sold itself to the American people as defenders of the Constitution and the champions of civil liberties, who possessed the moral core to “to build new bridges across the globe.”
During a piece of Obama theater during the ’08 campaign, he told Europe:
“Now is the time to build new bridges across the globe as strong as the one that bound us across the Atlantic. Now is the time to join together, through constant cooperation, strong institutions, shared sacrifice, and a global commitment to progress, to meet the challenges of the 21st century. It was this spirit that led airlift planes to appear in the sky above our heads, and people to assemble where we stand today. And this is the moment when our nations – and all nations – must summon that spirit anew.”
What a a bunch of bull. He was lying to them the same way he lied to Americans. It was all for show. If he cared at all about “building bridges” around the world, he wouldn’t have allowed a suspected deviant like Gutman to remain stationed at one of those “strong institutions,” and there would have been a real investigation into this man’s activities.
This is your representation in Belgium, America.
he has a wife
oh, nevermind, so does Weiner
And Ubama.
It's sharia compliant!
MoosSlime is az mooseSlime does!
MuuhhHamhead (Pigs be inseminating him) liked em young!
We have three ambassadors in Brussels, one to Belgium, one to NATO, one to the EU. About 6 weeks ago there was a story that an ambassador in Brussels had spent 700k taxpayer money on redoing the garden at his residence. It was the same time Hillary was whining that State didn’t have enough $ for security. That story died. Anybody know if this is the same guy?
If that’s the case...how long until the media tells us that this has nothing to do with being gay?
Yeah. But I need confirmation. I haven’t seen anything that confirms the guy was picking up little boys.
That was the ambassador to NATO. Breitbart had the story in April. I’d link it but I’m on my iPad and it’s a PITA to do it (plus I’m feeling lazy lol).
No, that's not the case. This is Alinskyite politics -- the constant pounding, the constant alarms.
It's beating people into psychological submission, trying to fatigue their sense of outrage and hebetate their reactions to deliberate offenses, ultimately to force them to give up hope. That's the condition Soviet KGB psych experts called the desired condition to induce in an enemy society: novolya, "will-lessness". It's the psychological equivalent of a TKO in the ring.
Maybe it's just me. I dunno.
