NEW YORK (AP) — One customer was a debt collector that threatened to jail people if they didn’t pay back loans that they never took out. Another was an offshore gambling operation that hid bets behind innocuous-sounding websites, including one dedicated to orange cats. A third was a phone-sex business catering to men with diaper fetishes or fantasies of raping women.

Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja made his fortune in online payment processing for a host of companies, providing a key conduit in e-commerce for “high risk” merchants by helping route customers’ credit card purchases to banks. And recently Khawaja has shared that wealth in the form of multimillion-dollar political donations, first to Hillary Clinton and then to Donald Trump. (snip) (snip) In June, the Senate minority leader, New York Democrat Chuck Schumer, appointed Khawaja as one of nine members on the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.(snip)

Guys like that pay off everyone, as they never know when they might need a favor returned.

But it's all about how someone who made money providing financial services for some unsavory people donated to Trump.

If we comb through Hillary donors we find many dictators far worse, giving far more, to the Clinton foundation.


Just another attack on President Trump.

This guy was a Clinton donor until Trump won:

"But here is the real kicker: Khawaja was a Democrat donor who had previously given to Hillary Rodham Clinton, the failed 2016 Democratic nominee for president, and he has since switched sides to the GOP under Trump.

So you don’t think this guy is a questionable choice for Sen. Schumer to have appointed to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom then? That it was perfectly fine for Bill Clinton’s FRI Director to coach this guy on how to avoid enforcement??

And if Bill Clinton were still president we might talk

I don’t care who donated to Trump. I don’t care who he has or hasn’t slept with. I don’t care what Bill Krystol or George Will or Karl Rove think.

New rules

I don’t care. Trump is doing just fine

Whatever, it’s nice to know where the bodies are buried on the Democratic end of the swamp as we live in an age where up is down.

Porn and betting are legal but this is a long time Democratic donor who has not once donated to a Republican during a campaign now being reported as being a Trump donor. I think that Democratic donors may be shifting over to the GOP in order to continue to get their business done, and the Democrats who have been enabling their shenanigans for years are going to now try to smear them now while pretending to be all pure as the driven snow. The Democrats need to not get away with this but at the same time, the donors need to be able to donate to who they will. IMO, the best way to shut up the Democrats is to prevent them from getting away with trying to act innocent.

This is how the left intends to destroy conservative donors and make people shut up. They will smear, attack, and ridicule any person, group, or business that donates to Trump or any other Republican.
