I'M SHOCKED. SHOCKED I TELL YOU.

A former top Clinton administration diplomat who used his political sway to garner support for the Iran nuclear deal apparently was being bankrolled the entire time by Boeing -- which is set to make billions off a jet deal with Tehran now that sanctions have been lifted.

Thomas Pickering, who also served as co-chairman of the board examining the Benghazi attack response, publicly pushed for the nuclear deal before its approval last year. He did so by penning op-eds, writing to high-level officials and even testifying before Congress.
With the deal in place, Boeing has since moved forward on a $25 billion deal with Iran Air made possible by the nuclear agreement.
While Pickering never denied being on Boeing’s payroll during the talks, he didn’t regularly disclose it either, according to a new report in The Daily Beast. And that’s the problem, transparency advocates say.

Winning the Lotto without buying a ticket!
What a country!
Boeing got a sweet deal in Russia too when crookedhillary was SoS if I remember correctly.
Trump should hammer this hard, and hang it around Clinton’s neck. I’m sure a big chunk of cash went into the Clinton Foundation.
What a surprise. < /s >
The founders of this country would already be on their way to Seattle with a rope in hand.
The System is rigged - “Donald Trump” It’s the same thing I keep hearing about Donald Trump and his lack of money for the campaign. Who said it costs a billion dollars to run for President: THE ESTABLISHMENT and THE MEDIA. Who gets the money: THE ESTABLISHMENT and the MEDIA. I love that Donald Trump says that he is going to run a lean and effective campaign without going into debt like they all do, and then they have to beg for more money to get out of the debt. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WE ELECT to take care of our economy. Does that make sense. The jig is up. NO MORE.
I'M SHOCKED. SHOCKED I TELL YOU.
Boeing Bucks! Better than Bitcoin.
I think that the Trump Justice Department should THOROUGHLY investigate the corruption surrounding the release of $150 billion of money to Iran. That kind of money simply doesn’t lay around without attracting the attention of a LOT of people, many of whom are willing to do just about anything to get a piece of the action.
Lots of Boeing execs and politicians would be getting free striped clothing for life if it were up to me.
How much do the Clintons get?
Pickering and Mullen whitewashed the Accountability Review Board on Benghazi. They never interviewed Ms Hillary.
How much did the Clinton Foundation get for making that deal happen?
Read his Wiki page. He has cut a swath in the diplomatic world.
That wouldn't do them any good, Boeing is headquartered in Chicago.
Opps,when did that happen?I clearly missed the move.
Not too long after the bought out McDonnell Douglas. (2001 time frame)
I did not know that,thank you.
