Sorry, I hold Republicans to a higher standard than Hillary. (Hell, I hold my dog to a higher standard).
Fiorina praised sales of technology into Iran. During her tenure, the Iran distributor in question was named distributor of the year. Did she—or should she have— audited the books of every HP distributor? Obviously not. But she clearly knew what was going on because she was PRAISING the work of this company in Iran.
Do I expect the President to know what the forrest service is doing in every county? No. But I DO expect the President to know what that service is doing in a California county that catches fire every summer for three years running.
Carly is not my first choice for President but I don’t want to see ANY solid conservative destroyed by lies and innuendo as Democrats like to do.
I remember well that Harry Reid lied about Romney’s tax returns — and then bragged afterwards: “We WON, didn’t we?” Reid is one filthy animal...
So my first instinct here is to NOT pile on when Democrats make loud but weakly-supported “claims” about Republicans.
We now know that HP sold printers in Europe through a subsidiary based in the Netherlands. That subsidiary sold printers to a separate company based in the Netherlands, which shipped them to its branch in Dubai. The greedy merchants in Dubai then sold “some” of those printers to buyers from Iran. It seems clear that the claim that HP “awarded” some “honor” to its Iranian office is fiction.
So, unless Carly was a mind-reader, I don’t see how she could have known all this. Of course, you are free to disagree with me, but the folks assigned to enforce the Iran Ban seem to agree with me — and with her.
I expect that Harry Reid will be “on her case” any day now...
