EXPOSED: Hillary Secretly Took Cash From Firm Who Won Shady $418M Kenyan Arms Deal – Radar Online

Hillary Clinton is off the campaign trail, but the scandals keep coming!

RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the disgraced politico secretly took cash from a New York-based weapon manufacturer one who coincidentally secured a shady $418 million deal on the last day of the Obama Administration!

A world exclusive Radar investigation uncovered troubling links between Clinton and L3 Technologies, an arms manufacturer that recently won a megabucks deal to provide 14 warplanes to Kenya. Other high-ranking Democrats such as John Kerry, the late Ted Kennedy and his son Patrick were also implicated in the probe.

According to Federal Election Commission records exclusively obtained by Radar, L3 Technologies political action committee directly donated to Clinton as far as back as 2005.

Whats more, Radar discovered, in other instances, L3s PAC (political action committee) contributed funds to other PACs that then funneled money to Clinton.

For instance, on April 23, 2007, and again on Feb. 21, 2008, L3s PAC donated $1,000 to BEST PAC, which then gave $2,300 to Clinton for President on Feb. 14, 2008, while she battled Barack Obama for the Democratic Partys presidential nomination.

Years later, L3 cashed in to the tune of nearly half a billion dollars with a bombshell deal.

This January, L3 Technologies was contracted to provide 12 warplanes, two trainer planes and services for missions to be waged against the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group Al-Shabaab.

The sale was approved by the State Department, headed by then-Secretary of State John Kerry and privately advised to Congress on Jan. 19.

Shockingly, the deal was inked despite the fact that another arms company one founded by a U.S. Army veteran! had submitted a bid for $180 million, less than HALF of the tab billed by L3, according to critics.

Whats more, while L3 has reportedly NEVER before produced the sort of planes involved in the deal, the other, lower-cost company IOMAX USA, Inc. out of Mooresville, N.C. have made those very planes for years.

The deal has raised eyebrows among both Democrats AND Republicans on Capital Hill and has more than a few calling for a Congressional investigation.

My office has received credible allegations of faulty contracting practices, fraud, and unfair treatment surrounding this sale, said North Carolina congressman Ted Budd, a Republican.

Even more troubling links between L3 and Democratic leaders, including Hillary, have emerged as part of Radars probe.

For example, Federal Election Commission records show that in the years leading up to the deal, L3 also contributed to the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, Adam Smith, as well as to the late Ted Kennedy and his son, Patrick.

Between July 19, 2004, and Oct. 5, 2010, L3 donated $17,000 to both Kennedys and Kerry, according to FEC records unearthed by Radar.

But thats not all: Wall Street expertCharles Ortel exclusively told Radar about another suspicious tie between L3 and the Clintons.

The $13 billion-a-year defense giant was formed in 1997, Ortel said, by cobbling together aerospace and arms businesses originally owned by Loral, an aerospace and defense company headed by CEO Bernard L. Schwartz.

Schwartz, now 91, is one of Bill Clintons closest pals, according to multiple media reports.

Radar learned he previously showered Bill with $1.3 million in campaign donations and even celebrated his 71st birthday with the Clintons at the White House.

It was Schwartzs right hand man, Frank Lanza, who presided over L3s initial public stock offering.

My fraud tentacles went up when I saw L3s links to the Clintons, said Ortel.

Critics also are also enraged L3 landed the Kenya deal despite two major scandals in its history.

In May 2012, the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee found L3 used counterfeit parts from China in components installed in military transport planes deployed in Afghanistan.

The firm allegedly detected the problem in November 2010 and sent the components for tests that concluded they were suspected of being counterfeit.

But despite real fear that this could lead to disastrous consequences, the committee charged that L3 didnt alert the Air Force of the problem until September 2011.

In 2015, L3 paid $25.6 million to settle a civil fraud lawsuit slapped on the company by Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara, who alleged its officials had known since 2006 that weapons sights it manufactured for use in Iraq and Afghanistan malfunctioned in extreme temperature ranges.

L3 engaged in fraudulent double dealing by selling defective products to the men and women who risk their lives to protect our country. With their own sights focused exclusively on corporate profits, the defendants let our soldiers fight with defective sights on their weapons, Bharara charged at the time.

Added Ortel, That Barack Obama, a Nobel Laureate would cap his tenure as president by throwing out such a morsel as the Kenya deal to L3, given its record, falls somewhere along a continuum from sloppy to contemptible.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: How the ’90s crime rate hurt Hillary Clinton – SCNow

The 1994 crime bill that Bill Clinton signed into law came to haunt Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. Bill Clinton signed the bill because of the fact that America faced soaring crime rates. This fact is validated by the polls that indicated that 37 percent of Americans claimed that crime was a big issue.

The bill contained several key provisions. For example, the law gave states federal money to hire 100,000 police officers on the streets. Also, it allocated dollars for states to build prisons. Another item protected women from domestic violence and punished perpetrators for using guns when they committed these acts. Also, the law required states to set up a sex offender registry by 1997.

The most controversial aspect of the law was to deny federal Pell grants to inmates, a move that eliminated their educational opportunities while in prison.

In 1994, Hillary Clinton jumped on the anticrime band wagon by calling criminals super predators. However, by 2016 the mood of the public changed on the crime issue. Several factors contributed to this phenomenon. First, the law has played a role in an explosion of the prison population! The United States has the highest prison population in the world.

This fact is clearly indicated when demographics are studied. Although Latinos make up 26 percent of the population, a Latino male has a 1-in-6 chance of being sentenced to prison. A white male has a 1-in-17 chance of being placed in a detention facility. Yet the laws impact on African-American men is truly stark. A newborn African-American male child has a 1-in-3 chance of being sent to prison in his lifetime. This statistic, along with police shootings of unarmed black men such as Shawn Bell in New York City, Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, not to mention Sandra Bland, who lost her life in a Texas jail cell, gave rise to our citizenry turning against Americas law enforcement methods. This point helped to turn public opinion against the Clinton crime measures of the 1990s.

During the election, Hillary Clinton was heckled and booed on the campaign trail. The Black Lives Matter group that was organized in response to police violence constantly reminded the voters of the Clinton role in anti-crime measures.

Hillary Clinton had to deal with an angry African-American electorate. This fact was indicated on Election Day. In 2008 as well as 2012, Barack Obama received roughly 96 percent of the African-American vote. Yet in 2016, Hillary Clinton lost because of a low turnout of African-Americans. She received 92 percent of votes from African-Americans who went to the polls. That was the smallest percentage for a Democratic candidate since 1960.

In other words, the Hillary Clinton of 1994 became an opponent of Hillary Clinton of 2016.

Clinton airport voted ‘WORST’ in US could have its name changed under new proposals – Express.co.uk

The Clinton National Airport near Little Rock, Arkansas, was named after the former Presidential couple in 2012 to honour Mr Clinton, a former Governor of the State.

The airport, also known as Adams Field, shot to infamy in 2013 after a survey ranked the airport as the worst of 67 domestic airports in the US.

But a bill proposed by Senator Jason Rapert could see the airport which hosts almost 2million passengers a year stripped of the political duos name.

The proposed law looks to ban public buildings being named after elected officials who had held office in the 10 years prior to the structures completion.

And although the legislation makes no mention of Mr and Mrs Clinton, its author makes no effort to hide the target of the bill.

Mr Rapert said: You have a President who was impeached for having an affair with an intern in the Oval Office and then disbarred.

Senator Jason Rapert

Mr Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1998 over a sex scandal involving White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

Mr Rapert claimed he introduced the legislation after several Arkansans across the state said they felt discomfort over the major transport hub being named after the controversial Clintons.

But some officials have defended the choice of name.

Meredith Catlett, a member of the terminal's governing commission, said: I think the name of the airport is appropriate and I support retaining it.

The survey, by magazine Travel + Leisure, cited long queues for food and limited shopping options as some of travellers most significant complaints.

The verdict over Mr Raperts controversial bill is set to be released today.

Washington Post Adds ‘Clarification’ Noting That Ned Price is Clinton Donor – Washington Free Beacon

Ned Price

BY: Brent Scher February 23, 2017 12:20 pm

The Washington Posthas added a "clarification" to the top ofa column written by former CIA employee Ned Price to note that he made political contributions to Hillary Clinton, a fact that was firstreported by the Washington Free Beacon earlier this week.

Price wrote in his Sunday column that he had decided to quit the CIA and that his decision "had nothing to do with politics." Not noted by the Washington Postat the time was that Price is both a registered Democrat and gave $5,000 to Hillary Clinton's failed effort to defeat Trump.

By Thursday, the paper had appended a clarification noting that it should have disclosed Price's partisan activity when the column was initially published.

"Clarification:This column should have included a disclosure of donations made by author Edward Price in support of 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton," it now says. "In August, Price gave a total of $5,000 to the Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party."

Price was challenged on his donations during an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday night.

"Your critics are already pointing out, you probably know this already, that you did make political contributions back in August to the Hillary for America campaign, $2,700, to the DNC, $2,300," Blitzer said to Price. "You say your decision wasn't about politics, but do the political contributions say otherwise?"

Price said that as a member of the intelligence community he has "never spoken about his personal views," but said that he thought Clinton "shared his values."

Price was a top spokesperson in the ObamaWhite House on national security issues, most notably working as an assistant to deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes. He was an integral part of Rhodes' efforts to create an "echo chamber" of White House allies duringnegotiations with Iran.

The cover photoon Price's personal Twitter account is a picture ofPresident Obama.
