Three Northern Virginia men--one reportedly celebrated New Year's Eve in 1999 with the Clintons--were charged in alleged scheme to defraud WRT an $8B Pentagon contract in 2012 to provide food and supplies to US troops in Afghanistan. Federal prosecutors said Anham FZCO, a UAR-based defense contractor--- knowingly gave false estimates for a warehouse to provide supplies for troops in Afghanistan. They allegedly provided "misleading photographs" showing the project was further along than it was. "Anham employees transported construction equipment and materials to create the false appearance of an active construction site," a DOJ statement read. One warehouse was a concrete slab in the ground, and construction did not yet start on the second one, Stars and Stripes reported.
Abdul Huda Farouki, 75, the ex-Anham CEO; his brother Mazen Farouki, 73; and Salah Maarouf, 71, pleaded not guilty to eight counts each of fraud and violating sanctions against Iran, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday in Washington, D.C.
Abdul Huda Farouki and his wife were Washington socialites and donated to the Clinton Foundation--the Clinton family charity, the WSJ reported....Farouki celebrated New Year's Eve with the Clintons in 1999 and was invited to a state dinner at the WH.
Bloomberg cited a government audit that found that Anham overbilled the Pentagon $4.4 million. The company allegedly moved equipment through Iran, a possible violation of sanctions. Farouki fired off an email to a senior defense official that "falsely claimed" senior management at the company were unaware of the transshipments. Anham reportedly said it helped the US save $1.4 billion by reducing prices. "ANHAM continues to cooperate with the Justice Department and continues to believe that the purported violations are without legal merit," the company said in a statement on its website.

The Clinton way,..
Pay to Play.
And these guys were definitely Players.
How much of the $8B wound up in the Clinton’s pockets?
AND when these run out, someone with steel cajones might just prosecute them.
OR, hell in 2020 PDJT can use it as a campaign slogan again that he will prosecute HRC. Got millions of votes the first time and people ARE stupid enough to fall for it again.
The Clintons did NOTHING unless they got a piece of he action.

Any connection to the Awan group...IT, auto dealerships, etc?
Abul Huda Farouki, 75, of McLean, Virginia; his brother Mazen Farouki, 73, of Boyce, Virginia; and Salah Maarouf, 71, of Fairfax, Virginia, were each charged in an indictment filed in the District of Columbia with two counts of major fraud, one count of conspiracy to violate the restrictions on doing business with Iran, four counts of substantive violations of those restrictions, and one count of conspiracy to commit international money laundering.
Billions at stake and the govt didn’t send their own inspectors to measure progress? Incompetent or corrupt? Both of you ask me.
I suspect they were operating a scam to launder money for the Iranians.

Hillary and Saudi King Abdullah circa 2012.
The Saudis placed multi-million dollar bets on 2016 Hillary to win. They showered the Clintons with petrodollars.

ITEM<><>EXCLUSIVE: Persian Gulf Sheikhs Gave Bill & Hillary $100 Million [VIDEO]
A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton received at least $100 million from autocratic Persian Gulf states and their leaders, potentially undermining Democratic presidential candidate Hillary’s claim she can carry out independent Middle East policies.
ITEM <><> As a presidential candidate, the amount of foreign cash the Clintons have amassed from the Persian Gulf states is “simply unprecedented,” says national security analyst Patrick Poole. “These regimes are buying access. You’ve got the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. There are massive conflicts of interest. It’s beyond comprehension,” Poole told TheDCNF in an interview.
ITEM <><> Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received upwards of $85 million in donations from five Persian Gulf states and their monarchs, according to the foundation’s website. Activist groups have charged the five states — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — committed numerous human rights abuses.
ITEM <><>the Saudis helped stage Hillary's election night "victory"---giving her a huge expensive flat screen TV supposedly to air her crashing through a symbolic 500,000 dollar glass ceiling. (This from a kingdom where women are not allowed to drive).
ITEM <><> Several Persian Gulf states contributed millions to the Clinton presidential library in Arkansas.
ITEM<><> Saudi Arabia Funded 20% Of Hillary's Presidential Campaign, / Zerohedge ^ | Jun 14, 2016| Tyler Durden / FR Posted by xzins
(NOTE: It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped the Saudis, however.)
“Saudi Arabia provided with full enthusiasm 20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clinton’s election"......the report quoted Saudi Prince Mohammed as having said. According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million. The Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet Obama admin officials to discuss US-Saudi ties. --SNIP--
ITEM<><> Links between Saudi Arabia and the Clinton family, including with Hillary’s campaign, are well reported. In 2008, it was revealed that the Gulf kingdom had donated between $10m and $25m to the Clinton Foundation, a charity set up by Hillary’s husband and former US President Bill Clinton.
ITEM<><> Last year the Centre for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court paid public relations firm the Podesta Group $200,000 for a month- long project to provide “public relations services”. The Podesta Group was founded in 1988 by brothers John and Tony Podesta. John Podesta is the chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.
Saudi Royals greet then-Secy Hillary (she checks to make sure she's on-camera). The suck-up begins.
The corrupt cannot exist without the incompetent.
Both. “Too big to fail”? Too big to manage”?
“...That is okay. The Clintoons have a war chest of Get out Jail FREE cards...”
That is most likely very true, but they have no “Get out of Hell” cards and it’s coming. The sooner, the better.
There is only one card for that and they don’t have it to play.
They’re starting at the wrong end of the Clinton Foundation. Go after Hitlary and Billy Bob first, save a lot of time getting to the top of the manure pile.
