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.

It appears he is getting more of the spotlight than he intended...

Guy's an immigration lawyer. I suspect folks who've immigrated from other lands have all had contact with the beasts. Jeff could probably talk to this better than I. As to why he deleted his website, I bet he never envisioned the kind of attention his speech would get, or the blowback from the Donald himself.
-
Khan is a fraud put up by the DNC, just like Hilary Clinton's lies about the young girl turned out to be all lies and made up nonsense. The DNC freak show was another foray into propaganda over reality at every turn. It stunk of elitism, corruption, power madness and sheer stupidity.

Not necessarily in that order.

EB5 is an investor classification, and requires extensive legal knowledge to navigate the criteria properly.
Put simply, someone must invest at least $1m ($500k in designated zones of high unemployment) in a business, and must employ a minumum number of Americans, in order to qualify. Upon approval, they are granted "Conditional Permanent Residence" and after (remember, this is not my classification) 3 years, they must go back and prove that they created the promised jobs, and maintained the investment, after which the conditions are removed, and the individual can become a Permanent Resident at that point without conditions.
Personally, I think it's a fine program. People bring cash and invest it in American businesses, and create American jobs.

Add Al Sharpton and Tawana Brawley to the mix of liberal liars committing fraud to further their agenda.

That presumes the government follows through with confirming that those things happened. I suspect they do that as well as they vetted the Boston Bombers and the San Bernadino shooter's wife.

The burden is on the immigrant to establish that they have met the requirements of the program.
The question I have is: Which would you prefer? Someone who comes in and drops $1m and creates jobs, or someone to clean Mar-a-Lago?

Good to see that Breitbart is maintaining the reputation it has worked so hard to build.
So, lets see... what facts are in the quoted article:
Mr. Khan is a lawyer - check
Mr. Khan did EB5 Work, check - do believe that is still legal
The EB5 program has serious problems - check, of course there is not a single fact presented that indicates Mr. Khan did anything out-of-bounds as part of his practice
Mr. Khan took down his website - check, cause unknown
Mr. Khan used to work for Hogan Lovells - check, a huge law firm with thousands of lawyers and offices worldwide.
The remainder of the article consists of speculation, conspiracy theory and innuendo.
If you wish to convince me that "Breitbart News and other new media have exposed Khan’s various deep political and legal connections to the Clintons—and to Muslim migration" as well as being a tool of the Clintons and has profited from his practice, some real facts would be helpful.

Unfortunately, real facts are something of an enigma. All we have to work with is innuendo and shoddy (or should I say shitty?) journalism.
It's up to all of us to weed through the muck and mire of places like Brietbart (the National Enquirer of the conservative) and figure out what is fact and what is pure speculation and innuendo.
-
I also find it ironic that Mrs T seems to have been an illegal immigrant.
-
I find it interesting that he was upset because his son was killed in a war that Hillary voted for and supported yet never mentioned that but chose to tear into Donald when Donald has said he feels we should have never been there.

Khan was a con job top to bottom. Typical democrat playbook and the press did exactly what they were ORDERED to do. THey built a circus around the clown asshole to attack Trump.

Here's the thing. The Dems laid a trap for Trump. A normal candidate would have taken the speech and said "While I obviously disagree with him, I want to thank his family for their sacrifice to this great nation." and been done with it. The story would have fizzled out in <24 hours.
Instead, as the Dems wanted, Trump decided to insult the man, and his wife, personally, for DAYS. Permitting the media to gleefully report the back and forth. They set a trap, and he walked right into it.
Thanks, Trumpkins, for giving the worst possible candidate to the Republican party.

Now there is a purported bank statement of Khans showing a payment made to him from the Clinton Foundation. I would be 99.999% sure it is a photoshop job.

Trump seems to bite the bait EVERY SINGLE TIME. He is a child that has to have the last laugh, the last word, or throw the last punch.
It's not like these are very creative traps either. I predict the Dems will bait him at least twice a week until November, but will increase it to three times a week when the news about Hillary is particularly bad.
He needs to have his phone taken away from him.

if the donald is stupid enough to fall for the DNC bait, I shudder to think of how he'll react to a savvy attack.
