SCANDAL: Carly Fiorina Made Millions In Iran During Embargo, Bribed Russian Officials

September 21, 2015Nathaniel Downes Wonkery

Carly Fiorina’s name is now on everyone’s lips. Well, everyone in certain law enforcement fields anyways. After all, a sizable portion of her millions were the result of some illegal activity.

With the recent relaxing of the trade embargo against Iran, many US companies are looking forward to the money they will make selling to the formerly isolated republic. For GOP presidential hopeful Fiorina, it’s too late, she already made her millions by selling computers to Iran during her time at Hewlett-Packard, while it was still illegal to do so. This was so successful for her that HP printers accounted for nearly half of all printers within the country by 2007 — all thanks to Fiorina’s laundering effort.

This flies in the face of statements she made on CBS in July in regards to the deal President Obama made with Iran:

It would be different if Iran was a good actor and had negotiated in good faith all this time but they haven’t and we’ve caved many times. I’ve never negotiated an Iran nuclear deal, but I’ve negotiated a lot of high-stakes deals, and there are a couple of rules and every rule has been broken. If you want a good deal, you’ve got to walk away sometimes. We never did.

I think unfortunately as we know Iran has already cheated on sanctions and inspections regimes so there’s no real guarantee right now that they’re going to play fair.

Fiorina, herself, helped Iran cheat on sanctions and skirt the trade embargo. Her use of a Dubai subsidiary to knowingly bypass trade restrictions makes one wonder what other rules, laws or regulations Fiorina would bypass if she were to win the top office in our country. Would she be willing to walk away from illegal activity if she thought she was acting in the best interest of the country?

 

But Fiorina’s issues are not limited to merely selling computers and printers to Iran. Now Hewlett-Packard has been penalized for Fiorina’s old policy of bribing government officials in foreign nations to secure government contracts. By funneling millions to government officials within Russia, Poland, and Mexico, they secured billions in revenue — billions which floated the stock value and then padded Fiorina’s pocket. How much could we trust Fiorina to not exploit the office of Commander-in-Chief to enrich herself through corrupting other public officials? And what would prevent someone else from bribing Fiorina herself?

And then there is the spying scandal that began at the end of her term. By the end of HP’s attempt to find out who leaked information to the press through illegal spying methods, even HP’s chairman of the board at the time was forced to resign. While the worst violations post-dated Fiorina’s exit from HP, the origins began around her. The fact this began under Fiorina has us wondering what would she do if granted access to the intelligence gathering infrastructure of our nation.

 

Now, this puts Fiorina’s position as the second highest ranked candidate within the latest polls into question. The problem with running for office is that people call into question ones actions of the past. Fiorina has, to date, never apologized for the mistakes of her past, or for her engaging in illegal behavior while the top boss at Hewlett-Packard. There is no telling if her fans will accept that Fiorina hasn’t been entirely forthcoming with her insider knowledge in Iran, and what impact this will have on her campaign.

For Fiorina, the skeletons in her closet have decided that now it is time to come out and say ‘hello’.

Works for Hillary,maybe it will work for Carly  Fiorina  as well

[Bravus]

Nope, sorry, the old 'the other guys do it too' defense won't work on Judgement Day, and it won't work here.

Each candidate must stand or fall on her own merits and her own character.

Fiorina has been guilty of at least two straight up lies to the American people in just the past couple of weeks.

exactly...

After the last debate, I thought Fiorina was maybe someone I could support.  But then I read up on her background (including statements from her first husband who doesn't have an axe to grind).  I would vote for Bernie Sanders and a host of Democrats before I'd vote Republican for Fiorina.

I didn't mean it as the other guy did it soooo.

It was more many that support Hillary know and don't care a whit what this woman has shown her self to be.

Maybe those that support Fiorina don't have any more scruples about who they support either. I don't know anything about her so really couldn't say

[Aliensanctuary]

To get elected, candidates have to lie about their past or else get shredded.by being honest, but they get shredded if they are caught in their lies, too. The best candidate, then, is the liar skillful enough to get away with it. I noticed that Mr. Carson is being shredded by being honest...

[JoeMo]

Isn't the term "honest politician" an oxymoron (emphasis on the "moron" part)?

 we  aw  soon as  you  go into the  public  arena  people  start  digging  got  dirt

yes and they will dig deep

Maybe I better not run for office either.

I skipped P.E. once or so.

I've looked at this and think this is a somewhat dishonest attack on Fiorina.  That she says the SEC cleared HP of any wrongdoing is maybe an overstatement but in no way is a deliberate lie.  I can see how she would take the SEC not following up on the charges as a clearing herself and HP of any suspicion.   As to the claims of these sales being a large percentage of HP's overall sales that's a complete fabrication.  It's more along the lines of 1 or 2% of total sales.  In a company as large as HP 1 or 2% of sales is something I can see easily slipping in unnoticed.  

The manufactured indigination of this is kind of hilarious when you compare this to what Hillary Clinton has done and there is complete silence from the left about it.  She violated law after law.  She placed no priority upon national security in using a private email server.  And her lies about not sending any marked emails is ludicrous.  As Secretary of State she was one of only 20 people in the administration authorised to classify documents.  So, the simple fact is when she  read an email she would know immediately if it was classified whether or not it was marked.    All this junk about ignorance is simply that.  Junk.  It's all lies. 

You care about honesty?  Then care about honesty all the time.  If you're not, then the simple fact is that you don't really give a rip about dishonesty.  You only use your manufactured indignation as a political weapon.   

Read the book Clinton Cash.  It thoroughly exposes the dishonesty and hypocrisy of the Clintons.  It shows how thoroughly unfit they are to be leaders of anything.

GayatfootofCross,

I'm guessing you probably like John Kasich or Chris Christie, because they see no problem with SCOTUS "marriage", and do not approve of religious exemptions for providers of wedding services.  

[whbae]

Do we call Democrats leaning to the left and Republicans to the right?!

Eccl. 10:2  The heart of the wise inclines to the right,but the heart of a fool to the left.

GayatfootofCross,

I am not voting for either of them.

and Hello! God Bless you.
