Either he’s getting a highly-paid plum job, or he’s being saved for a bigger political job.

Rham doesnt need the city money that the Mayor controls----the federal pilefrom his time in DC keeps rolling in like clockwork.

=============================================

BACKSTORY---The US Treasury from the Obama era HAS a huge Rahm/Obama paper trail.One can get awfully rich awfully fast knowing the Fed's Treasury moves in advance.But the Iran connection could prove to be even more interesting considering the hundreds of millions Obama secretly gave to Iran.

RHAM EMANUEL'S TWO KEY JOBS Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (oversees the IRS). PAUSE TO REFLECT First-term Obama had tight control of Treasury; Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role

==========================================

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move. When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

More here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124113406528875137.html

==========================================

Pres Trump needs to suggest AG Sessions make an inquiry to the US Dept of the Treasury and be sure to ask what RAHM AND Obama were doing in the US Treasury after Obama got elected.

========================================

========================================

SEPT 2016--- officials from the State, Justice and Treasury departments said the $1.3 billion to Iran was paid in cash on Jan. 22 and Feb. 5. The money came from a little-known fund administered by the Treasury Department for settling litigation claims. The so-called Judgment Fund is taxpayer money Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed, allowing the president to bypass direct congressional approval to make a settlement. The U.S. previously paid out $278 million in Iran-related claims by using the fund in 1991.

Republicans have decried the payments as ransom, a charge that Obama administration has rejected.....a group of Republican senators announced their support for legislation that would bar payments from the Judgment Fund to Iran until Tehran pays the nearly $55.6 billion that U.S. courts have judged that it owes to American victims of Iranian terrorism.

UPDATE H.J.Ansari Zarif, the deputy for parliamentary and Iranian affairs within Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said he would expose "everyone who allegedly accepted bribes" to facilitate Obama's nuke deal with Iran. "... we will reveal which western politicians received monies during nuclear negotiations to make #IranDeal happen,” Mr. Zarif reportedly said.

Aha....the plot thickens. This also explains why Obama blithely handed over billions of tax dollars to Iran. Looks like Obama and his crowd got filthy rich on this deal. In case you wondered how the Halfrican intended to pay for his billion dollar final resting place dedicated to the Sun God….”Obama’s "presidential center."

NOTE: Obama said no federal funds will be used......just tax dollars with an Iranian postmark.

There is no person in America who cared less about black lives than Rahm Emanuel.

List the names!

He’ll lecture Trump about separating babies at the border, and the DNC-media will never question him on the thousands of black kids under his watch who were separated from their families permanently.

I hope he gets all the credit he deserve for the bang up job he did cleaning up the streets and making Chicago a safe city.

“So what does this REALLY mean?”

It means that he hasn't any more crises to left to "never let go to waste!" Someone should have drowned the entire litter of which he was a part. One of his brothers (Ezekiel) was the "chief architect" of Obolacare, and the other brother(Ari) is some POS "talent agent!" A complete RAT $hit family.

He’ll probably announce he’s running for president in 2020, so he can do for the whole country what he did for Chicago.

THE NUMBER OF city, state and US GOVT CHECKS VALERIE JARRETT IS CASHING ARE ADDING UP

EVEN IN THE DC SWAMP Valerie Jarrett STILL Received
A $36K Annual Pension For a Part-Time Chicago Transit job

dailycaller.com ^ | 2/17/2016 | Chuck Ross / FR Posted by rktman

Chicago is known for its L-train. But it's the gravy train that White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett prefers to ride.

In addition to the $173,922 Jarrett earns per annum as President Obama's senior adviser, she is also paid an annual pension of $35,660 for the eight years she served as chairman of the Chicago Transit Authority, according to a Chicago Sun Times investigation.

Jarrett was appointed to chairman of the agency - a part-time position - in 1995 by then-mayor Richard Daley, whose brother, William Daley, served as Obama's chief of staff. Jarrett served as the former mayor's deputy chief of staff and was appointed to numerous other positions during his term. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

======================================

That one Chicago pension check is what she'll admit to. Wonder how many transportation bonds were issued while Jarrett was at Chicago Transit? Her pension payout would pale against her hidden income from lucrative insider Chicago bond deals.

==================================================

In his final days in office:

<><> Obama appointed Valerie Jarrett and National Security Adviser Susan Rice to the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees

<><> Deputy Ntl Security Adviser Ben Rhodes was appointed to the tax-funded US Holocaust Memorial Council.

=================================================

The Obamaminions can't live by do-goodism alone (smirk). We demand to know how many US govt checks this motley crew of incompetents hangers-on is cashing. (including US govt payroll and pension checks.)

Its an old political trick to pad pensions, and, hand-pick people and put them on govt payrolls long after you think they're gone.

The trio's vouchers for reimbursement would also prove enlightening.

==================================================

Remember, Obama gave his MIL a 200,000 US govt pension for baby-sitting his kids. She must be on several payrolls, too.

VALERIE JARRETT IS THE KEEPER OF (smirk) "OBAMA'S FEDERAL INHERITANCE" Iran-born Valerie Jarrett held secret meetings with Iran that resulted in the US giving Iran $150 billion dollars......later additional millions and gold got handed over secretly.

Post-presidency Obama and the missus have mega dollars dancing in their heads. Two Clintonesque foundations and the Obama library fund are all set to get BIG donations from his Muslim confreres.

We need to see solicitation letters Valerie sent, requests for donations to Obama's billion dollar Chicago library (to be built using eminent domain).

Do we now get a black progressive leftist who has decided that the police have been too oppressive and all they need is to allow the citizenry space to take down the man?

Mayor Rahm at a Chicago dinner honoring his service to the city.

"I gotta get outta here. Valerie just wired $50 million federal bucks to the
Chicago Sewer Authority account. I gotta create backdated invoices and insert
line-item salaries to phantom employees on the payroll. Another fat slush fund
for Obama when he retires from office.....and we all get a cut."

As a long time Chicagoan I don’t know if it’s a blessing, because one of the opponents is black liberal.
