According to a senate aide, senators have “specific concerns with regard to foreign contributions to the Atlantic Council by Saad Hariri (or the Hariri family), Dinu Patriciu, Kazakhstan, and Bidzina Ivanishvili. It was reported that one of the reasons for the suspension of Chuck Hagel’s nomination hearing earlier this week is that among the many names identified in documents as having provided foreign funding to him is a group called “Friends of Hamas.” Hagel has thus far refused to disclose the foreign funding he has received for his various organizations to the Senate Armed Forces Committee, claiming he has a “fiduciary duty” to keep “confidentiality” of his and his organization’s donors. Hagel’s discretion has led to speculation as to what, exactly, he is unwilling to reveal. Well, as sure as shit it wasn't from "Friends of Israel"!
