From Al Jazeera to Brookings, the scope of Qatari influence over Washington D.C. and America is monumental. And usually, no mention is made of it.
This is a rare exception.
Richard Olson, a former U.S. ambassador to Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, has been criminally charged for his alleged role in an undisclosed lobbying campaign for the Qatari government, records show
The Justice Department has charged him with making false statements in ethics paperwork and violating laws restricting foreign lobbying by ex-federal officials, both misdemeanors.
In court filings, Olson said he plans to plead guilty.
The Qataris are buying up anyone they can and our political class is very much for sale.
Top elected officials and administrators eagerly take money from our enemies and then wrap their perfidy in the tattered cloak of human rights.
All of that is an even bigger problem because of Qatar’s backing for the Muslim Brotherhood and even worse Islamists, not to mention its ties to Iran.
Pierre Delecto says
Let us hope for a comprehensive allocution.
I want every detail.
Every metastatic detail.

Wasn’t there evidence from some years ago tying i. elmi, alias i.omar. to qatar? The evidence was from another mozlum, if I recall correctly, and he said she was acting as a government operative.
Whatever happened to that?
And as far as this “bo” guy….”bo” helped iran get boatloads of cash after assisting them in their deal to get nuclear weapons; “bo” helped the mb in Egypt to take over the government for a period of time until the general sisi took it away from them; and who knows for sure what else “bo” was doing as he pretended to be president, so it’s no surprise that his operative was doing the same things.
After all, “bo” did admit to visiting all “57 states”….he couldn’t have meant the U.S. states of which a “seven” don’t exist, but there are 57 “states” or nations where his best buds….other mozlums….have their hands of the reins of government.
The evidence was presented years ago of his visit to pakistan…and now, i. elmi has visited there too.
Amazing how much slime gravitates to slime.
Lock them all up and throw away the key.

The Qatari influence campaign is an utter joke compared to the work of the CCP. It’s good to see some sort of accountability, but we’re failing to see the forest through the trees. Qatar can cause damage to our Republic, but China can destroy it.

Yes, but I don’t believe that the doj will go after the bidens, pelosi, mcconnell, and the rest of those doing lots of business with the chinese.

Qatar has managed to infiltrate and influence the American education system including universities, colleges and high schools by “donating” a few of their petro-dollars.
America, you are in a coma. Wake up!

It appears that in Washington DC. it is not illegal to sell out America for CASH. You may go to JAIL for selling secrets, but selling influence, promoting legislation and voting for the giving away of American TAX DOLLARS and or military aid for CASH is just doing good business and a good investment. It appears that way too many of our political leaders and their families are involved with business and investments in foreign countries many who are our enemies. Conflict of interest or just down right selling America out on both the Democrats and Republicans.
