Panic Mode: Khizr Khan Deletes Law Firm Website that Specialized in Muslim Immigration
by Matthew Boyle
2 Aug 2016 Washington, DC
Khizr Khan, the Muslim Gold Star father that Democrats and their allies media wide have been using to hammer GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump, has deleted his law firm’s website from the Internet.
This development is significant, as his website proved—as Breitbart News and others have reported—that he financially benefits from unfettered pay-to-play Muslim migration into America.
A snapshot of his now deleted website, as captured by the Wayback Machine which takes snapshots archiving various websites on the Internet, shows that as a lawyer he engages in procurement of EB5 immigration visas and other “Related Immigration Services.”
The website is completely removed from the Internet, and instead directs visitors to the URL at which it once was to a page parking the URL run by GoDaddy.
The EB5 program, which helps wealthy foreigners usually from the Middle East essentially buy their way into America, is fraught with corruption. U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has detailed such corruption over the past several months, and in February issued a blistering statement about it.
“Maybe it is only here on Capitol Hill—on this island surrounded by reality—that we can choose to plug our ears and refuse to listen to commonly accepted facts,” Grassley said in a statement earlier this year. “The Government Accountability Office, the media, industry experts, members of congress, and federal agency officials, have concurred that the program is a serious problem with serious vulnerabilities. Allow me to mention a few of the flaws.”
Grassley’s statement even noted that the program Khan celebrated on his website has posed national security risks.
“There are also classified reports that detail the national security, fraud and abuse. Our committee has received numerous briefings and classified documents to show this side of the story,” Grassley said in the early February 2016 statement. “The enforcement arm of the Department of Homeland Security wrote an internal memo that raises significant concerns about the program. One section of the memo outlines concerns that it could be used by Iranian operatives to infiltrate the United States. The memo identifies seven main areas of program vulnerability, including the export of sensitive technology, economic espionage, use by foreign government agents and terrorists, investment fraud, illicit finance and money laundering.”
Khan spoke alongside his wife Ghazala Khan at the Democratic National Convention last week in Philadelphia, and they were honoring their son U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan—a hero who lost his life to a suicide bomber in Iraq in 2004. On behalf of Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic nominee for president, Khizr Khan ripped into Donald Trump’s policies on immigration—specifically bashing his plan to bar Muslim migration from regions afflicted with rampant terrorism into America temporarily until the United States can figure out what’s going on.
Khan even brought out a pocket Constitution, claiming inaccurately that Trump’s plans were unconstitutional. That’s not true, as Congress has already granted such power to the president under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952—allowing the president to bar migration of any alien or class of aliens the president sees as a threat to the United States for any reason at any time. Such a class of aliens could be Muslims, or it could be people from a specific region of the world, or any other class—such as someone’s race, weight, height, age, national origin, religion, or anything else.
The media, along with Hillary Clinton and her supporters throughout the Democratic Party establishment, has pushed the line of attack against Trump for days. Now on Tuesday, President Barack Obama has said that Trump is “unfit” to serve as President over the matter. Even a group of anti-Trump congressional Republicans has gone after Trump on the matter.
But as Breitbart News and other new media have exposed Khan’s various deep political and legal connections to the Clintons—and to Muslim migration—the attack line has crumbled. Now, with Khan deleting his website in an apparent effort to hide his biographical information, the attack is falling apart even more.
What’s perhaps interesting is that also on this website that he has now deleted, Khan revealed that he spent nearly a decade working for the mega-D.C. law firm Hogan & Hartson—now Hogan Lovells LLP—which connects him directly with the government of Saudi Arabia and the Clintons themselves. Saudi Arabia, which has retained the firm that Khan worked at for years, has donated between $10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation. Hillary Clinton, despite the repeated urging of Trump, has refused to return the Clinton Cash money to the Saudis. What’s more, Hogan Lovells also did Hillary Clinton’s taxes—and helped acquire the patents for parts of the technology she used in crafting her illicit home-brew email server that the FBI director called “extremely careless” in handling classified information.
What’s more, the entire mainstream has proven negligence with regard to this matter as none of them even thought to look into this Khan guy’s law practice before bandying him about as some kind of magic elixir that cures the country of Trump.

Thank you very much, Judy. :)
LOL!!! What a cowardly scum bag. I knew he was rotten to the core. Great work by ALIPACers researching and posting and tremendous work by Breitbart who is the only news medium to investigate and report on this giant fraud named Khizr Khan. And yes, of course, that includes his wifey-poo, what a pail of garbage immigration hustlers and hucksters they both are. Who knows how many Radical Islamic Terrorists he's processed into the US using his Harvard degree, if that's even true that he has one, it's reported he came here on a student visa to attend Harvard University in Boston, yet none of the newspapers reports verified that, the New York Times claimed he arrived in Houston and rented a $200 a month apartment. That's a long ways from Boston and Harvard.
These people are as dirty to the core as the Mainstream Media giving them unfettered voice without question or scrutiny.
END THE NIGHTMARE!
VOTE FOR DONALD J TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and SECURE OUR COUNTRY!

Oh you're most welcome, GeorgiaPeach! Great article. What a pair of cowardly scum bags they proved themselves to be!! Wait until Trump gets this and runs with it. And oh yes, he will, at the right time, at the right moment. That man has timing!!
Of course he has. He's Muslimism at it's most wicked. The only reason he's not chopping off heads here is because it's illegal and he'd be put in prison with a big bunch of big Bubbas.Quote:

The father of a Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq, who spoke at the Democrat National Convention, is an immigration lawyer who specializes in a visa program that allows immigrants to effectively buy U.S. citizenship with an E-2 or EB-5 visa.
Khizr Kahn has been blasting Donald Trump for wanting to wanting to halt immigration from Muslim nations that have links to terror. Even House Speaker Paul Ryan has jumped on the band wagon, claiming it is wrong to apply a “religious test” for immigrants.
In reality, Trump’s policy on immigration has the potential to impact Kahn financially. Khan’s website states that he helps clients with the E-2 and EB-5 programs, which allow foreign investors to buy into U.S. companies. The programs also provide green cards for family members. The website also states that he assists with purchase of U.S. real estate and businesses.
Jessica Vaughn, the policy director for the Center of Immigration Studies, said, “The E-2 and EB-5 are two of the most notoriously abused visa categories that essentially allow wealthy foreigners to buy their way to U.S. residency, and possibly citizenship, with a relatively modest investment.”
Washington Examiner reports that there have been multiple scandals surrounding the EB-5 program, and critics are calling for Congress to end it. It allows wealthy immigrants to invest $500,000 in an approved business – in return they get green cards for their spouse and all children under 21 years of age.
Vaughn said, “The EB-5 is literally a ‘citizenship for sale’ program in which a visa for a whole can be bought for as little $500,000. It is literally a ‘citizenship for sale’ program, and it’s an amazing deal. Compared to other countries, America is the Walmart of investor visa programs.”
Kahn’s website reads:

Is there a backstory about Khizr Khan and Donald Trump?
By Eileen F. Toplansky
What is one to make of the Democratic Convention speech of Khizr Khan, a Pakistani-born Virginia lawyer whose son Humayun was killed in action in Iraq in 2004?
According to Byron York:
Khan's brief speech wasn't a finely-detailed case. But he suggested that Trump's Muslim ban and Mexican border wall proposals are unconstitutional. Specifically, Khan cited the words 'liberty' and 'equal protection of the law' in suggesting that Trump's policies violate the Constitution.
But, in fact, "there's simply no sense in which a border wall violates the Constitution." There is also "nothing unconstitutional about deporting people who are in the United States illegally."
York emphasizes that "[a]s far as a Muslim ban is concerned, Trump ... amended his proposal to focus on immigration from countries 'compromised by terrorism.' But assume that Khan was addressing Trump's original, more extensive, proposal: a temporary ban on foreign Muslims from entering the United States."
In fact, the 14th Amendment of the Constitution applies to "all persons born or naturalized" in the United States. It does not refer to foreign persons in foreign countries. Trump made it clear that this ban "would not apply to U.S. citizens, members of the U.S. military and others with a legal right to be in the United States." Whether one approves or disapproves of Trump's building a wall, deporting illegal immigrants, and temporarily banning the entry of foreign Muslims, the fact is that Trump's proposals are not unconstitutional.
In an effort toward clarification, Donald Trump released a statement:
Captain Humayun Khan was a hero to our country and we should honor all who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe. The real problem here are the radical Islamic terrorists who killed him, and the efforts of these radicals to enter our country to do us further harm. Given the state of the world today, we have to know everything about those looking to enter our country, and given the state of chaos in some of these countries, that is impossible.
Moreover, Trump reiterated that "Captain Khan, killed 12 years ago, was a hero, but this is about RADICAL ISLAMIC TERROR and the weakness of our 'leaders' to eradicate it!"
But is there even more to the story about Khizr Khan? According to Theodore Shoebat and Walid Shoebat, Mr. Khizr Muazzam Khan is a promoter of Islamic sharia law and a co-founder of the Journal of Contemporary Issues in Muslim Law (sharia). In fact, in the past, Khizr Khan has shown "his appreciation for an icon of the Muslim Brotherhood" by the name of Said Ramadan, who "wrote material for the Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia, an organization that has been promoting Islamic revivalism and indoctrination to recruit young people in Malaysia to jihadism." Mr. Said Ramadan was the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood including Ahmad Bahefzallah, the boss of Huma Abedin (Hillary Clinton's aide)[.]"
Should this connection give us pause?
Shoebat writes that "Khizr Khan currently runs a law firm in New York called KM Khan Law Office, a firm that specializes in 'immigration services.'"
According to Shoebat, "[t]o understand the inception of Muslim immigration one must study the Muslim Minority Affairs, a paradigm created by Saudi jurisprudence which sparked during the times Khan lived in Saudi Arabia while collaborating with the Saudi kingdom. It is likely that Khan is a Muslim plant working with the Hillary Clinton campaign, probably for the interest of Muslim oil companies as well as Muslim immigration into the U.S."
Khizr M. Khan used to work for Hogan & Hartson and Lovells, which has ties to the Clinton Foundation. Accordingly, "Hogan Lovells LLP, another U.S. firm hired by the Saudis, is registered to work for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia through 2016, disclosures show. Robert Kyle, a lobbyist from the firm, has bundled $50,850 for Clinton’s campaign."
In fact, Shoebat relates how "[m]any lawyers at Hogan Lovells remember the week in 2004 when U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan lost his life to a suicide bomber. Then-Hogan & Hartson attorneys mourned the death because the soldier’s father, Khizr Khan, a Muslim American immigrant, was among their beloved colleagues."
Shoebat emphasizes that "Saudi interests with using Khan to advance Muslim immigration and advance Muslim Sharia is a lengthy subject [.]" "Then there are the ... ties to Hillary Clinton’s aide Huma Abedin as well. The House of Saud had used Huma’s father Sayed Zaynul Abedin’s work regarding the Muslim Minority Affairs in the West, published in 1998 as part of 29 works to construct a plan to conquer the U.S. with Islam."
Shoebat maintains that "[i]t is obvious that Khan is upset, that a Trump victory will eliminate and destroy decades of hard work to bring in Islamic immigration into the United States which was spearheaded by agents in Saudi Arabia like Khan and Huma Abedin’s father (Sayed Z. Abedin)."
Huma Abedin has never been properly vetted, and this takes on even greater urgency now that Clinton is running for the presidency. The mainstream media continues to cover up the Muslim Brotherhood's enormous clout in the Obama administration. Each day brings new revelations about the financial influence and "access" the Saudis have exerted on the Clinton team. Patrick Poole, a national security analyst, asserts that "[t]here are massive conflicts of interest. It's beyond comprehension."
So is it wrong to impugn Khan's motives? He appears to be a man in mourning for his son. Was Mr. Khan merely being used by the Clinton campaign to advance Clinton's agenda? Or is there an even larger issue concerning the influence such people as Abedin and Khan exert concerning Clinton's bid for the highest office in the land?
The questions need answers.

Khizr Khan Has Written Extensively On Sharia Law
3:35 PM 08/01/2016
http://cdn01.dailycaller.com/wp-cont...0071021944.jpg
Khizr Khan, the Muslim father of a slain American soldier, is an attorney who has previously written in a law journal about Islamic law. He specifically wrote about the purity of the Quran and the Sunnah over all other texts and interpretations.
Khan rose to fame after speaking at the Democratic National Convention Thursday and pulling out a pocket U.S. Constitution imploring if Donald Trump had even read it.
Khan wrote “Juristic Classification Of Islamic Law” in the Houston Journal of International Law in 1983. In it he breaks down different levels of Islamic law. Khan writes that the Quran and the Sunnah which were both directly created by the Muslim prophet Muhammad were the only sources in Muhammad’s lifetime that “were recognized as binding.”
“The Shari’ah-was completed during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammed, in the Quran and Sunnah. This brings up an important fact which is generally overlooked, that the invariable and basic rules of Islamic Law are only those prescribed in the Shari’ah (Quran and Sunnah), which are few and limited,” Khan continues to write. “All other juridical works which have been written during more than thirteen centuries are very rich and indispensable, but they must always be subordinated to the Shari’ah and open to reconsideration by all Muslims.”
In the journal article, Khan goes on to explain the importance of Islamic laws and interpretations to Muslim followers. He writes that: “The present form of the Quran is one and the same in every part of the Muslim world, and it has been so all through the centuries. This, Muslims believe, is due to the fact that the compilation and arrangement of chapters was completed-under divine instructions-by the Prophet himself.”
It is due to this that Khan writes, “to Muslims, the Quran being the very word of God, it is the absolute authority from which springs the very conception of legality and every legal obligation.”

The Muslim attorney writes that, “it has to be admitted, however, that the Quran, being basically a book of religious guidance, is not an easy reference for legal studies. It is more particularly an appeal to faith and the human soul rather than a classification of legal prescriptions.” Khan added that, “the major portion of the Quran is, as with every Holy Book, a code of divine exhortation and moral principals.”
The attorney has law degrees from Punjab University in Pakistan and Harvard University.
Khan then goes on to write about the Sunnah. This is the “human, though prophetic, clarification of the Quran by Muhammed.” The rest of the journal is about interpretations of Islamic law by Islamic jurists distant from Muhammed himself. These are called Qiyas.
Khan includes quotes from Islamic scholars from Qiyas. One of them from Said Abu Hanifa, who says it is, “slanderous is their saying that we give our qiyas any priority over the Shariah. Do we need opinion when there is a sacred text?”
A short biography of Khan in the journal article says that he is the author of “In Defense of OPEC” and “Legal Index of the Quran.” It also lists that he is the co-founder of Journal of Contemporary Issues in Muslim Law. Both these texts and the journal were not able to be found in a search of academic databases.

Khizr Khan: U.S. wars “have created a chaos” in Muslim-majority countries
The media amplified Khizr Khan's patriotism—but not his criticism of US foreign policy and the "quagmire" it led to
http://media.salon.com/2016/08/Khizr-Khan-hardball.jpg
Khizr Khan, the Pakistani American father of a U.S. soldier who died in Iraq, has become something of a media celebrity in the past week.
At the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Khan and his wife Ghazala denounced Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for his racist, anti-Muslim policies.
Trump responded by maliciously attacking the Khans, and a political scandal has ensued.
Many media outlets have amplified Khizr Khan’s patriotic sentiments. Significantly less attention, however, has been paid to Khan’s criticism of U.S. wars and his lamentation that “We have created a chaos” and a “quagmire” in Muslim-majority countries.
Khizr and Ghazala Khan spoke on MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Monday, Aug. 1. Fifteen minutes into the program, after Khan harshly condemned Islamist extremists for “hijacking” his religion, host Chris Matthews briefly asked Khan about U.S. wars in Muslim-majority countries.
“What do you think, or feel, when you see us attack Iraq, or go into Afghanistan after Osama bin Laden? Or we go attack, we bombed Libya. We’re bombing Syria now, all Islamic countries,” he said. “What do you feel, as an Islamic man?”
“As a Muslim American I feel that these policies are not in the interest of the United States of America,” Khan replied, with a look of distress.
“And we see the result of it,” he continued. “We are more vulnerable now. We have created a chaos.”
“Well you know, you’re speaking to the choir,” Matthews laughed.
Khan added, “I wish this country would have listened to Chris Matthews when he was talking, when he was preaching. We could have saved ourselves from this quagmire.”
“I didn’t think Iraq made any sense, and I think you agree,” the host responded.
Matthews then segued back to Donald Trump, to whom they devoted much more time.
In total, they only discussed U.S. foreign policy for 50 seconds in the 15-minute “Hardball” interview.
This brief excerpt, in which Khizr Khan criticizes militaristic U.S. foreign policy, is not included in the isolated clips for the episode on MSNBC’s website. One has to watch the full episode to see it.
Khan’s criticisms came on the same day that the U.S. launched a new bombing campaign in Libya. In fact, while Khan was stirring up patriotic sentiment on air, MSNBC’s breaking news lower third below him reported: “U.S. launches a new campaign of airstrikes.”
This new war comes just five years after the previous NATO war plunged the oil-rich North African nation into chaos, empowering extremist groups and allowing ISIS to consolidate its largest regime outside of Iraq and Syria.
The Obama administration dropped 23,144 bombs on six Muslim-majority countries in 2015. Libya is now the seventh country with ongoing U.S. air strikes.
As he noted, Chris Matthews was indeed critical in the lead-up to the illegal U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. He was also somewhat skeptical of the 2011 war in Libya and the Obama administration’s attempt in 2013 to launch a bombing campaign in Syria.
Yet Matthews’ record isn’t entirely consistent. In May 2003, when then-President George W. Bush declared “victory” in Iraq, Matthews commended “the president’s amazing display of leadership.”
“The president deserves everything he’s doing tonight in terms of his leadership,” Matthews exclaimed. “He won the war. He was an effective commander. Everybody recognizes that, I believe, except a few critics.”
Moreover, in 2014, as the U.S. launched new wars against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, Matthews declared, “When it comes down to how we fight this, everybody seems to be for air attacks, airstrikes. Everybody is for drone attacks.”
Likewise, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who has also applauded Khan and used his story to attack Trump, is one of the most hawkish figures in U.S. politics.
Clinton voted and lobbied for the invasion of Iraq, helped lead the catastrophic 2011 war in Libya and pushed for a much more aggressive policy in Syria, contributing greatly to the “chaos” and “quagmire” Khan railed against.
Salon contacted the Clinton campaign with a request for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

The above article is proof that his statements at the Democratic Convention attacking Trump had nothing to do with Trump's policies, except for the ban on Muslim immigration in which Khan has a deep and long financial connection because he's an immigration lawyer specializing in visas for rich Muslims wanting to migrate to the United States!! His attack on Trump had nothing to do with his son, it had nothing to do with Trump, except the BAN that would cut off Khan's gravy train he's been lining his pockets with for many years.
Khan is a Con.
Katrina Pierson, Trump spokesperson, is on CNN telling about these revelations.
Damn! I'd been CNN all day and just switched to MSNBC to see what Bloomberg Politics had to say. It's now on commercial, maybe she'll still be on after the break. No, it's over. Rats.
Katrina is a strong voice for Donald Trump. She didnt budge when Wolf kept trying to lead her in her answers.Quote:

Navy SEAL Who Killed Bin Laden Says Khan Part Of ‘Clinton Machine’
"There's no mistake..."
Randy DeSoto August 3, 2016 at 2:14pm
Former U.S. Navy SEAL Rob O’Neill charged on Tuesday that Khirz Khan is “part of the Clinton machine” and pointed to the timing of the Muslim man’s address to the Democratic National Convention as proof.
Appearing on Fox Business Network’s Lou Dobbs Tonight, O’Neill, who killed Osama Bin Laden, said Khan’s appearance at the DNC was “unfortunate,” adding he shouldn’t be politicizing his son’s death in the Iraq War in 2004.
“And there was no mistake that he [Khan] came out for the Clintons,” said O’Neill. “He’s worked for the Clintons before and there’s been three presidential elections since his son was killed. And he could have come out for — this is one he decides to come out for. This is part of the Clinton machine.”
O’Neill continued, “There’s no mistake that Mr. Trump was interviewed by George Stephanopoulos. He’s in the Clinton camp as well and this is how Clinton politics work — as opposed to going on Hillary’s record, we’re just going to go on how bad you are.”
Stephanopoulos interviewed Trump on ABC News’ This Week on Sunday and asked him to comment on Khan’s claim that the Republican candidate had “sacrificed nothing” for his country. The news anchor was once a senior aide to President Bill Clinton.
Trump appeared to try to give Khan the benefit of the doubt regarding the tone of his remarks saying the man was clearly emotional and “looked like a nice guy.”
Rather than attacking Trump, O’Neill asserted, “Mr. Khan should be saying what can we do to defeat this [radical Islam]. He is a Muslim, Pakistani born, and all the work that he’s done in Saudi Arabia especially with bringing in migrants. We should be using people like Mr. Khan to how are we going to defeat radical Islam rather than yelling at each other back and forth.”
O’Neill believes the Khans did not honor their son’s sacrifice by their actions at the DNC. “If I had been in his situation and saw people politicizing my sacrifice and what I’d done, I’d be a little bit disappointed, because that’s not what it’s all about. He died a hero,” he said.
As reported by Western Journalism, Chris Mark, who served in a Marine Corps elite Force Reconnaissance unit, agreed with O’Neill. He wrote in an “Open Letter To Khizr Khan“ over the weekend: “I am troubled that you would allow a party that has little more than contempt for the US Service Member to parade you into the DNC to denounce Donald Trump.”
“As you continue to make the media circuit and bask in the glow of affection cast upon you by a party that has little regard for your son’s own sacrifice, and veterans in general, I would ask you to consider your comments and your position more closely,” he added.

An Open Letter to Khizr Khan July 31, 2016
Posted by Chris Mark in Uncategorized.
Dear Mr. Khan,
I want to preface this letter by stating that I respect your son’s sacrifice for this great nation. By all accounts, he is a true hero that sacrificed himself in service to our country. For that I am thankful.
As a veteran, I watched your comments at the Democratic National Convention with a mixture of sadness, and anger. The United States has a military comprised of volunteers. Every single member has made the conscious choice to join the military and serve. There is not a single service member who has been forced into service. It is important for all service members (and apparently, their families) to understand that service to this great nation does not imbue one with special privileges or rights. I found your comments troubling when you said: “Have you ever been to Arlington cemetery? Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one.”
Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has sacrificed “…nothing and no one?”…has Ms. Clinton “..sacrificed” for this nation? How about Mr. Obama? Your comment stating that Mr. Trump “…has sacrifice no one” is alarming. Are you intimating that YOU sacrificed? Sir, your son willingly sacrificed himself. As a father I cannot imagine the pain you must feel but his sacrifice is his own. He was not forced to serve.
I am troubled that you would allow a party that has little more than contempt for the US Service Member to parade you into the DNC to denounce Donald Trump. Did you watch when protesters at the DNC booed and heckled Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Florent Groberg? Did you notice your party interrupting the moment of silence for slain police officers? Your own hypocrisy in not denouncing these acts and instead using the DNC as a platform to make a political point is disgraceful. The simple fact is that whether one served or sacrificed does not give greater power to their statements. One vote is as valuable as another. That sir, is why our Country is great. Your condemnation of one person for a statement while standing idly as your party disparages veterans and police officers is the height of hypocrisy.
To conflate the need to prevent potential terrorists from entering our country with the belief that ‘all Muslims’ should be banned is simply wrong and disingenuous. As a reminder, Mr. Trump said: ” “Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” The irony of your son’s own death at the hands of these very people in Iraq should not be ignored. I have little doubt that your son would have recognized the need to protect our country from these very people. In fact, he held is own troops back so that he could check on a suspicious car. Your son understood sacrifice and how to protect “his people”…’his soldiers’….’his fellow Americans’…
As you continue to make the media circuit and bask in the glow of affection cast upon you by a party that has little regard for your son’s own sacrifice, and veterans in general, I would ask you to consider your comments and your position more closely.
Respectfully,
Chris Mark
