Nikki Rodham Haley: The Hillary Clinton Of The GOP

Crooked Hillary is as corrupt as they come, but Crooked Haley is no slouch either. Until recently, I knew almost nothing about her other than she’s from South Carolina and never saw an unwinnable foreign war she didn’t like.

But did you also know that like Mrs. Clinton, Mrs. Haley has spent the years since leaving the Governor’s Mansion earning millions of dollars from speaking events ($11 million so far, and counting)?

She’s been on the board of companies like Boeing, which paid her $300,000 a year. I’m sure this is totally unrelated to the fact that as governor, she fast-tracked $120 million to Boeing to get them to invest in South Carolina.

Forget her enormous six-figure advances for books no one buys. Why doesn’t anyone ask her about her deep and lucrative connections to the military-industrial complex?

Haley also works as a consultant to Prism Global Management, a New York-based investment fund run by Richard Kang, a position that earned $708,335. While the investment fund has no substantial online presence, Kang is active in the defense world and serves as an advisor to America’s Frontier Fund, a new group backed by former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt and run day-to-day by Gilman Louie, the former head of In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital arm.

At a launch event for the fund last year, a participant openly discussed the fact that America’s Frontier Fund is investing strategically in ‘choke points’ in case of war between China and Taiwan, in which case the fund’s portfolio would increase ‘ 10x, like overnight.’

Look out, Hillary — there’s a new war hawk on the way, and she’s got pockets almost as deep as yours.

Oh, and Mr. Haley’s got his hands in the missile cookie jar too. Michael Haley “earns up to $500,000 from a company called Allied Defense. An investigation from the Daily Beast showed that Allied Defense appears to overlap with a sister company, Defense Engineering Services, that helps clients ‘navigate political and legal concerns to allow for defense system acquisition.’”

Sounds profitable to me! Gee whiz, Nikki, leave some DOD kickbacks and weapons contracts for the Clintons, OK?
