Carly Fiorina's illegal dealings with Iran, during her tenure as CEO of HP, were exposed in the Boston Globe. which broke the story that Hewlett Packard had been selling its printers in Iran through a subsidiary company in Dubai, despite the fact that a trade embargo had been in place against the Iranian regime since 1997. The sales were halted shortly after the business dealings were published by the Globe.
Texas GOP: Fiorina claimed no knowledge that the approximately $100 million of sales through the subsidiary were coming from Iran, despite having been HP CEO (since 2000) while it was happening. An investigation by the San Jose Mercury News last year showed that Fiorina did know. "Fiorina, in 2003, noted Middle East sales were defying global trends, and, as the Merc notes, HP's partner there issued a press release saying sales topped $100 million and that "the seeds of the Redington-Hewlett-Packard relationship were sowed six years ago for one market – Iran." Three of the three HP partners in the Middle East contacted by Christopher Stewart for a story in Portfolio magazine's August 2008 issue readily agreed to ship printers to Iran. Portfolio notified HP of the incidents, but the company didn't condemn them, instead refusing comment. Fiorina was gone as CEO at this point, but Portfolio noted that diversion of American products to Iran through Dubai had been going strong for many years, while Fiorina was CEO. HP had an office in the Dubai free-trade zones notorious for funneling American goods to Iran, Portfolio reported — so it had ample means to be aware of how its products were being shipped.

Carly Fiorina talks a good game for the electorate of America, but, in reality, she is another neo-conservative player who belongs more to the noxious left than to the old Constitutional right
She’s a RINO IMO...never liked her.
Read about this in the past. Is there any credible links or jus that they happened on her watch. I don’t doubt she knew, would be interesting to hear more. She also needs to clear the air on her lavish praise of Islam right after 9/11. We don’t need a candidate like this for president. Isn’t Clinton already enough?
No wonder her second phone call would be to the Supreme leader of Iran - she apparently, knows him very well. I hope people aren’t fooled by this charlatan.
Selling $100 printers to Iran is bad.
Green lighting nuclear weapons development and releasing billions of dollars to fund terrorists is good.
Is this a sarcasm or satire thing I just don't get?
Then that would have also disqualified Dick Cheney from being VP back in the day.
The Boston Globe.
The Buck stops...where???
I don’t see anyone here saying the green-lighting of nuclear weapons development and releasing of about $150 billion dollars to fund terrorism is good.
I think it’s consistent to say both are bad.
Fiorina stepped in it with that, an unforced error. She is over.
Carly must be doing something right if the Boston Globe is going after her. She is a good candidate and does a good job on the trail.
Anyone can go after Hillary. She did that fine.
Being pro-abortion and pro-”gay marriage” was too much for me already.
Just hyphenate her name and be done with it. (yes, that was humor).
BOOM!!! Stick a fork in her, she’s done.....best go to the ‘dark side’ with shillary....
Maybe some plot to bankrupt Iran with overpriced water coloring and crash their systems with wonky unreliable and poorly written drivers?
That would be great if true. Sounds like a Dilbert strip.
Don’t tell Meghan McCain. She gets giddy over Carly.
Is the Globe story true? Assuming it is, Carly’s toast....a Plan C or so for the puppetmasters.
Maybe HP was a facilitator of Stuxnet.
I mjust instinctively do NOT like this uh woman
Her record as CEO disqualifies her for President, but she’s playing a valuable role in the campaign.
