Quote:Three men, including a top donor to former president William J. Clinton and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary R. Clinton, were indicted for defrauding the United States in order to win a huge Pentagon contract.

“Three men were charged in an indictment returned Nov. 27 for their roles in a scheme to defraud U.S. Military contracts in Afghanistan, engaging in illegal commerce in Iran, and laundering money internationally. Their conduct was in connection to two multi-million dollar contracts to provide supplies and logistical support to U.S. troops in Afghanistan.,” according to a Justice Department statement from last week.

One of the men, Abul Huda Farouki, was the chief executive officer of Anham FZCO, a defense contractor that secured an $8 billion contract from the Pentagon to supply food and equipment to U.S. in 2011 while Clinton was Secretary of State. The company did so by lying.

“The indictment alleges that the defendants schemed to defraud the Department of Defense in connection with the SPV-A contract by submitting bids that contained knowingly false estimates of the completion dates for the warehouses and by providing the government with misleading photographs intended to convey that Anham’s progress on the warehouses was further along than it actually was,” according to the DOJ statement.

Farouki also cut down on his overhead by shipping the supplies through Iran instead of using more costly but legal routes, which was a violation of U.S. sanctions.

According to OpenSecrets, Farouki and his wife have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Democrats, including the Clintons and former President Barack H. Obama. Hillary Clinton’s habit of awarding government contracts to large donors was well documented in the book/movie “Clinton Cash.”

Farouki’s company claimed that it was unaware that its supplies were being shipped through Iran. He and his two co-defendants have all been charged with “two counts of major fraud, one count of conspiracy to violate the restrictions on doing business with Iran, four counts of substantive violations of those restrictions, and one count of conspiracy to commit international money laundering,” and have pleaded not guilty.

Well, at least they didn't supply Chinese ammunition to the military. Anyone seen the movie War Dogs? That movie was based on real life, so if any of it was true it wouldn't surprise me at all if this kind of thing happens frequently. When one always goes with the lowest bidder, often the result is crap.

Yes, I enjoyed it. Jonah Hill is one of the few great actors of our generation. He can do it all.

Only thing I didn't understand was the ending. The first thing his partner does once he gets out of prison is go straight back to the guy on the terrorist watch list for a briefcase full of cash? Come on, bro.

Pay to play with the clintoons...

Imagine that.

I sure hope it comes back and bites the Clintons in their big butts. They need it. They've gotten away with a bunch of stuff and still no accountability.

To be fair, the Chinese ammo they were supplying was for AK-47's. I would think the Chinese and Russians would be pretty good manufacturing AK rounds. Obviously, the rounds were not gong to be used by the US military. They were for use by American proxies across the globe. It violated the bid conditions and the law--but I kinda thought it was dumb. Who cares? lol....Your buying ammo for untrustworthy allies who might end up shooting at us with Russian and Chinese guns----using bullets we paid for-----and your concerned about where the bullets were made? Seems like that should be the least of our concerns.
