John Kerry Knew State Department Was Funneling Millions to His Daughter’s Non-Profit

Breaking News By Amy Moreno December 29, 2016

John Kerry has some explaining to do.

It appears that he was aware that his State Department was funneling MILLIONS to his daughter’s non-profit organization.

From the Daily Caller:

Secretary of State John Kerry praised a program run by his daughter’s nonprofit as he announced an extension of its non-competitively awarded Department of State funding in 2014, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
“What we’re talking about here is a multi-million dollar effort that will strengthen the capacity of healthcare workers to deliver lifesaving HIV services,” Kerry said in December 2014, at a World AIDS Day event. “[I]t will build on the Global Health Service Partnership with Peace Corps and Seed Global Health.”

The 2014 comments appear to conflict with more recent Department of State claims that Kerry “played no role” in official decisions to funnel more than $9 million in sole-source contracts with the nonprofit that recruits volunteer doctors and nurses to medical schools in Third World countries.

The $9 million went to Seed Global Health — a nonprofit founded and managed by Dr. Vanessa Kerry — through the Peace Corps. The funds were awarded under the Global Health Service Partnership (GHSP) that Kerry’s daughter created in conjunction with officials from both agencies. The agencies then funded the nonprofit organization they helped bring into being.

The GHSP program began in 2012 while Vanessa’s father was a Democratic senator from Massachusetts and chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. That panel oversees both the Department of State and the Peace Corps.

Peace Corps and Seed officials discussed the expansion throughout 2015, until the nonprofit was awarded a four-year extension for $6.4 million of Department of State money in September, documents obtained by TheDCNF show.

That was the second Department of State-funded award the Peace Corps gave Seed without competition. It also extended the nonprofit’s work with the Peace Corps to a seven-year total, which violates an agency policy that limits contracts to five years.

Meanwhile, the Department of State argued that Kerry was not involved with the awards.“There is absolutely no conflict of interest here,” agency spokesman John Kirby told TheDCNF Thursday. “As we have previously made clear, Secretary Kerry played no role in this decision making while in the Senate or subsequently while at the State Department.”

“No conflict of interest exists in our partnership with Peace Corps and the US government,” Seed spokesman Mark Marino previously told TheDCNF.

They (dems) were pressuring President Trumps son to quit his non profit he had years before his Father was President. They need to go after Kerry with everything they can…

There should be no more demands on Trump to release his taxes or to step away from his businesses.

  No Kerry’s other daughter is not married to a Palestinian Muslim. His daughter is married to a Iranian Muslim whose family live in Iran and are very close friends with the President of Iran. Theft should have made it a conflict of interest for Kerry to negotiate with Iran on that very bad Nuke Deal, which puts Israel in grave danger as well as us. Obama, Hillary, and Kerry should all be thrown into a prison.
