Mike Klonsky answers the question in this post.
One of the stories reported in the media is that the Erdogan regime in Turkey offered to pay millions of dollars to Mike Flynn if he arranged for the extradition of Erdogan’s adversary Fethullah Gulen. To those of us familiar with the ethically dubious Gulen charter chain, this is bad news. It means we are probably stuck with him forever. He and Trump can duke it out over who gets the most visas for foreign workers: staff at Mar-a-Lago or teachers for Gulen charters.
Wheels within wheels within wheels.
Oy!

Hope I haven’t already sent you this.
Pip, I knew it was AWFUL, but it is worse … this is REALLY, REALLY BAD. OMG.
I was gob smacked when I found out that the US government (Us!) will give out Visas to any rich bastard who will invest in charter schools in the US. WTH? We need to import education privatizers? How the Hell did that abortion of a law get passed.
When are we going top get mad as hell and not take it anymore?
EB5 visas. I wrote about it in “Reign of Error”
Silicon Valley wanted that loophole in immigration law so they can hire cheaper labor from overseas.
When you hear them whining about the US “skills gap” it really means they don’t want to pay a fair salary. Cheap labor costs keep stock prices high.
So many members of Trump’s cabinet are involved in “pay to play” schemes and shady dealings overseas. I expect we will see more discoveries of dirty dealings in the coming days. If you get the chance to see Vice News for November 6th, it is a must see. It is about the Paradise Papers, and an international team of investigative reporters, that examined a leak from Appleby Bank, one of the biggest off-shore tax avoidance financial institutions in the world. Both Tillerson and Ross have stockpiled funds in this Bermuda bank. https://news.vice.com/story/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-massive-paradise-papers-leak
That’s how immigrants can get into the United States from any country. All they have to do is get Trump to hire them to work for very low poverty wages in one of his U.S. country clubs. Even Islamic terrorists could use this loophole to get in.
I don’t understand why the US is protecting Fethullah Gulen? Is he a CIA asset? Does he bankroll someone? This whole scenario gets stranger & stranger.
Exactly.
