"The Most Important WikiLeak" - How Wall Street Built The Obama Cabinet
Zero Hedge ^ | 10/14/16 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 10/30/2016 10:22:32 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Perhaps the most startling discovery of the WikiLeaks dumps so far didn't come from the most recent emails surrounding the various Hillary scandals, though there are many great ones, but from 2008 when John Podesta served as co-chair of President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team.  The email came from Michael Froman, a former Citibank executive, who single-handedly built the entire cabinet of what was supposed to be the "main street" President.    

The email in question was even sent from Froman's Citibank email address (rookie!) and includes "A list of African American, Latino and Asian American candidates, broken down by Cabinet/Deputy and Under/Assistant/Deputy Assistant level, plus a list of Native American, Arab/Muslim American and Disabled American candidates."

Apparently Obama wasn't as worried about placing women in senior-level positions but Froman decided to offer up some suggestions anyway.

Obama helping Saudi Arabia pick his cabinet (proven wikileaks)

Perhaps the most startling discovery of the WikiLeaks dumps so far didn't come from the most recent emails surrounding the various Hillary scandals, though there are many great ones, but from 2008 when John Podesta served as co-chair of President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team. The email came from Michael Froman, a former Citibank executive, who single-handedly built the entire cabinet of what was supposed to be the "main street" President.

Citibanks owned by Al-Waleed bin Talal
[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]
Al-Waleed Bin Talal bin Abdulaziz al Saud (Arabic: الوليد بن طلال بن عبدالعزي&#158​6; آل سعود‎‎, born 7 March 1955)[4] is a Saudi business magnate, investor, and philanthropist. He is a member of the Saudi royal family.

Waleed was listed as one of Time magazine's Time 100, an annual list of the hundred most influential people in the world in 2008.[5] Waleed is a grandson of Ibn Saud, the first Saudi king, a half-nephew of all Saudi kings since, and a grandson of Riad Al Solh, Lebanon's first Prime Minister.

Al-Waleed is the founder, the chief executive officer and 95 percent-owner[6] of the Kingdom Holding Company, a Forbes Global 2000 company with investments in companies within various sectors such as financial services, tourism and hospitality, mass media, entertainment, retail, agriculture, petrochemicals, aviation, technology, and real estate.[7] The company has a market capitalization of over $18 billion in 2013.[8] Waleed is also Citigroup's largest individual shareholder, the second-largest voting shareholder in 21st Century Fox, and owns Paris' Four Seasons Hotel George V and part of the Plaza Hotel.[9][10] His business acumen and shrewd entrepreneurial prowess have earned him comparisons to American investor and business magnate Warren Buffett. Due to his prominence as a businessman, he was acknowledged by Time, who labeled the Prince as the "Arabian Warren Buffett".[11] In March 2016 Forbes listed Al-Waleed as the 41st richest man in the world, with an estimated net worth of US$17.3 billion.[12]

In 2015 Al-Waleed announced that he would donate his entire fortune to charity at an unspecified date. Some of the reasons cited were fostering cultural understanding and empowering women.[13]

While doing a web search for the ownership of fox news network, I saw an article about how waleed has already sold all his stock in News Corp.

So any anti-American pro-muslim slants on Fox News are all homegrown, and no longer influenced by any ownership interests by waleed.

Also, during the primaries, waleed and Trump exchanged Twitter insults.

Not surprisingly, many globalist Cruznadian freepers here were all prissy against Trump for getting into a Twitter fight with the overbearing prince.

Here’s another one, John Podesta is tied to a Russian energy firm:

This is the same guy who accuses Trump of being tied to Putin, and who says that Putin is the root of all evil. Thou protesteth too much, John.

Well. I’m outraged. Not one American Indian.

What a farce. And does anyone wonder why we are in such a screwed up mess?
