DENNIS PATRICK: DEMOCRAT’S KHAN CON

Hillary Clinton experienced a nice boost in her poll numbers following the Democrat National Convention. One of the reasons is the Democrat National Committee’s (DNC) shameless offering on the altar of politics of Khizr Khan, a Muslim Gold Star father. Khan proceeded to do Clinton’s bidding and thrash Donald Trump.

What a set-up. This is now laughingly known as the Khizr Khan job. It is not as though Khan was threatened with decapitation and forced to engage in a well-rehearsed, choreograph rant. Shame on Clinton and shame on the DNC for stooping so low as to use grieving parents as stooges.

By all means Khizr Khan is a Gold Star father. His son, US Army Ordinance Corps Captain Humayun Khan, was killed in action in Iraq in 2004 by a suicide bomber. It was Captain Khan’s choices that turned Khizr and his wife into Gold Star parents. Isn’t it curious that Khan never blamed the Muslim jihadists who killed his son? Instead, he tore into Trump’s position on immigration.

The logic of Clinton and the DNC ran something like this: “If you support Donald Trump for president, you don’t support the Muslim parents of their American soldier son killed in combat.”

But there is more to Khizr Khan than meets the eye. Khan is a Pakistani immigrant and a US attorney who worked for many years for Hogan Lovells, LLP, a large Washington DC multinational law firm representing Saudi Arabia together with other Middle Eastern countries. He also endorses the Muslim Brotherhood from his days living in Saudi Arabia.

Khan has written scholarly articles promoting Shariah Law as the highest legal authority for all Muslims. That places Shariah Law above the US Constitution. Khan wrote “Juristic Classification of Islamic Law” in the Houston Journal of International Law in 1983. Khan writes that the Quran and Sunnah were the only sources recognized as binding by Muhammad in his lifetime. Khan wrote, “…the invariable and basic rules of Islamic Law are only those prescribed in the Shariah (Quran and Sunnah), which are few and limited….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 Shariah and open to reconsideration by all Muslims.” In this context, it was disingenuous to parade Khan before the American public waving the US Constitution during his convention speech and offering to lend his copy to Trump.

Khan and the Clintons have cordially rubbed elbows many times over the years. Matthew Boyle of Breitbart News reported that “…in addition to being Gold Star parents, the Khans are financially and legally tied deeply to the industry of Muslim migration, to the government of Saudi Arabia and to the Clintons themselves.”

Joe Schoffstall reporting for the Washington Free Beacon did an investigative piece on the connection between the Hogan Lovells law firm and their client, the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom has given between $10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation and Friends of Saudi Arabia have contributed between $1million and $5 million.

Rober Kyle, a Hogan Lovells lobbyist, has bundled more than $50 thousand in donations for the Clinton Foundation.

Hogan Lovells handles Hillary Clinton’s taxes. A member of the law firm, Howard Topaz, has been Bill and Hillary’s tax advisor since 2004.

Patrick Howley of Breitbart News uncovered the connection to Clinton’s e-mail scandal. “Topaz was a partner at Hogan and Hartson which later merged to become Hogan Lovells, where Topaz continues to practice….Hogan Hartson handled the patent for the MX Logic e-mail spam filtering program.” Hillary used the MX Logic spam filter on her personal computer system when she was Secretary of State. Her political and legal contacts were monitoring her private e-mail use.

As an added note, Hogan and Hartson later employed our current Attorney General Loretta Lynch, the same Loretta Lynch Bill Clinton met with on the tarmac in Phoenix in June.

As a US citizen Khan may certainly speak freely in whatever venue he chooses. He is free to speak at the nominating convention of a presidential candidate and use that forum to attack the candidate of the opposing party. However, when Khan enters this arena as a Hillary Clinton activist speaking on her behalf, all bets are off. Politics, after all, is a blood sport. If you cannot stand the sight of your own blood, then stay out of the arena.

To be used by Clinton and the DNC as a shill and then hide behind the Gold Star of his fallen son is truly despicable. Shame on Khan, shame on Clinton and shame on the DNC for colluding to deceive the American people.
