FBI corruption probe just the ‘tip of the iceberg’ for Trump’s scandal-plagued Border Patrol nominee

[nhboy]

" Pres. Donald Trump’s nominee to head the U.S. Customs and Border Protection is being investigated by the FBI for possible improper use of money and weapons seized during criminal investigations.

Vocativ.com said Wednesday that the corruption investigation is “just the tip of the iceberg” of charges leveled against Paul Babeu, the right-wing former sheriff of Arizona’s rural Pinal County.

For years, Babeu has been a frequent guest on Fox News, appearing as an immigration hardliner who wants to crack down on drug smuggling and human trafficking.

He appeared in a campaign ad for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and entertained congressional ambitions of his own until a 2012 scandal “that ultimately discredited the down-on-brown rhetoric he spewed on Fox News, forced him to come out of the closet as a ‘gay American’ and cost him a job as the Arizona co-chair of Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign,” wrote Vocativ’s James King, who was a reporter for the Phoenix New Times in 2012.

For six years, Babeu carried on an affair with an undocumented immigrant named Jose Orozco. Babeu reportedly threatened to use his powers as sheriff to have Orozco deported from the U.S. if he ever breathed a word about their relationship to the public." "

Kochavi, an entrepreneur from Israel, is the founder of AGT International, a Zurich-based firm that provided security services to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Flush with Arab cash, Kochavi and his New York business partner, the attorney Marty Edelman, were looking for the biggest of names to headline Lightning.

According to Wikileaks, Kochavi and Edelman were already early clients of Teneo, the consulting business founded by Bill Clinton’s adherents. In 2010, Kochavi, who was positioning himself as a thought leader, had addressed the Clinton Global Initiative in New York about Haiti.

Wikileaks’ Vocativ revelations are one example of how Clinton found himself, post-presidency, navigating the murky world of international businessmen seeking to buy his imprimatur. Kochavi has been described as “a mysterious and even somewhat shady character” and the Israeli “version of the old-fashioned arms dealer with a suit and MBA” by the progressive Jewish blog Tikkun Olam.
