Congressional Travel to Honduras Used to Support US Lawmaker's Business Interests
GOP Congressman Traveled With Campaign Contributors and Promoted Their Business Interests to Coup Regime

In addition to using taxpayer money to travel to Honduras to support a coup d'état, one US Congressman, Republican Dana Rohrabacher (pictured right), used the trip as an opportunity to back the business interests of his campaign contributors, according to a State Department cable recently released by WikiLeaks.

The US Embassy in Honduras assisted Rohrabacher's partners in their investment ventures, according the document, by arranging meetings between the businessmen and a US government-financed corporation that is tied to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and gave millions to the coup regime.

When Rep. Rohrabacher (Calif.) traveled to Honduras on Jan. 31-Feb. 2 he brought along some personal friends, which included “several American businessmen and investors” according to the State Department memo, written by US Ambassador to Honduras Hugo Llorens.

1. Like Obama brought military hardware "businessmen and investors" to India.

Nothing secret about any of this. Hillary is now working for Monsanto, pushing their gmo swill.

It is what America is.
