One connection of Mayorkas and Hillary's brother (Tony) with interests in Haiti.

--------------------

DHS Official Gave Special Favors To Hillary Clinton’s Brother

March 24, 2015

Alejandro Mayorkas, the former director of U.S. Customs and Immigration Services, favored projects championed by Nevada U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, and Hillary Clinton’s brother Tony Rodham, according to an explosive new report from the Department of Homeland Security inspector’s general (IG).

The IG concluded its investigation into whether Mayorkas, now the deputy secretary at DHS, “exerted improper influence” in the adjudication of the Employee-Based Fifth Preference (EB-5), which allows aliens to invest $500,000 in U.S. companies in order to gain residency for themselves and their families.

And indeed, the IG determined that Mayorkas did improperly exert his influence, and on behalf of companies with ties to Reid, McAuliffe, and Rodham.

“Mayorkas communicated with stakeholders on substantive issues, outside of the normal adjudicatory process, and intervened with the career USCIS staff in ways that benefited the stakeholders,” the report reads, noting that in each of those cases the outcome would have been different if not for Mayorkas’ intervention.

The report also noted that more than 15 USCIS employees at all levels conveyed “the same factual scenario: certain applicants and stakeholders received preferential access to DHS leadership and preferential treatment in either the handling of their application or petition or regarding the merits of the application or petition.”

The IG, which began its investigations in Sept. 2012, also found that the number and variety of witnesses was “highly unusual” and characterized Mayorkas’ level of intervention as “unprecedented.”

In one case, Mayorkas intervened on behalf of GreenTech Automotive, an electric car company controlled by Gulf Coast Funds Management. McAuliffe was chairman of Gulf Coast’s board while Tony Rodham was CEO.

In an unrelated case, Rodham’s position with Gulf Coast earned him a spot on the board of a gold mining company with interests in Haiti. Rodham met the owner of that company, VCS Mining, at an event for the Clinton Global Initiative, his sister’s charity.

This one isn't related to Haiti, but connects Hillary's other brother (Hugh) with Mayorkas.

Vignali asked Baca to write Clinton a letter, and he also told Baca that Hillary’s brother Hugh Rodham was helping Carlos receive clemency. Vignali had paid Hugh four thousand dollars, and then another 200 thousand if Carlos was pardoned.

Teamsters' president spoke at RNC.

But today, Teamsters will endorse no one. Neither side could meet their requirements for endorsement.

He's a coward. A President should bravely lead, whether it's a country, a company, a trade union, the regional biker gang or the even the local ham radio club.

He's delusional? He wants Hampton donor money to help pay his legal bills?

I just saw someone on Twitter speculate that Kamala’s crowd size comment at the debate has got him so triggered that he’s going to a high population density area just so he can get a really big crowd to show up. Even though he has zero chance of ever winning NY. It’s all about his bruised ego.

He could find that crowd size in Russia. He could ask his friend there.

It would appear their attempt to get him a big crowd FAILED miserably.

People leaving as he’s still speaking (exactly what Kamala said during the debate that triggered him so badly):
