Fiorina, eyeing Senate run, faces questions over HP sales in Iran (Flashback)

Over the past dozen years, Hewlett-Packard has sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of printers and other products to Iran through a Middle East distributor, sidestepping a U.S. ban on trade with the country.

Now the person who headed HP for much of that time, Carly Fiorina, is ramping up to run for U.S. Senate. And questions are emerging about what Fiorina knew about HP's growing presence in Iran during her six-year tenure at the Silicon Valley firm from 1999 to 2005.

With Iran drawing condemnation abroad for its suspected pursuit of nuclear weapons and crackdown on government dissidents, Fiorina could find herself on the defensive.

Boy someone really seriously doesn't like Carly Fiorina and will dredge up any old garbage to try to sway others on this forum.

Good luck with that.

Trumpeters sure like to whine over Trump hit pieces and no problem resurrecting articles themselves.

I Don't have a problem with it. I'm not a Carly supporter. Just drop the whine.

What also gets me is that she wouldn’t meet with Putin. (And this was said a few days ago BTW.) Great step forward to start a second Cold War.
