Former Clinton Official Lobbied for Iran Deal While Working for Boeing

Breitbart: The Clinton administration’s ambassador to Iran and the United Nations, Thomas Pickering, is under fire for failing to disclose his ties to Boeing while lobbying hard for the Iran nuclear deal. Since the deal went through, Boeing has been working on a $25 billion deal with Iran Air.

The Daily Beast reports that Pickering “has been quietly taking money from Boeing while vocally supporting the Iran nuclear deal — testifying before Congress, writing letters to high-level officials, and penning op-eds for outlets like The Washington Post.”

In an email to the Daily Beast, sent from his Boeing corporate email account, Pickering confirmed he was a Boeing employee from 2001 to 2006, and a consultant from 2006 through the end of 2015. The problem is that the Beast could find no evidence that he disclosed that relationship to Congress or the media while he was pushing the Iran nuclear deal.  MORE

  1. Remember Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich?
    He “tried” to sell the State’s US Senate Seat because as he said it was F’in Golden.

    Blagojevich got 14 years in federal prison for “trying” what Hillary and Bill have done for years.

    Some pigs are more equal than others.

  2. I remember the Wedtech scandal from the Reagan administration. The coverage and indignation was suffocating. The coverage from this is a piffle! I hate you MSM!

  3. Big Fur, is there some way to add an “undo” to the up and down thingy. Fat finger suffers, such as myself, down vote by accident and can’t take it back.
