Not sure how I stumbled upon this. I was just browsing. But anyway, has this man's name emerged at all with pizzagate???? He seems have quite a stronghold in DC from having read the substance of the article. Not to mention the ties with Saudi.
Quote: Otaiba’s entrée to D.C. was aided by the UAE’s willingness to pour astronomical sums of money into improving its public standing in the U.S. It now spends more money on lobbying than any other foreign government ($14.2 million dollars in 2013). That’s in addition to hundreds of millions in philanthropic giving (UAE entities have given at least $3 million to the Clinton Foundation alone), as well as billion-dollar investments in U.S businesses. In a 2010 Aspen appearance, Otaiba made a point of remarking that the U.S. “is actually a beneficiary of our oil revenues," by way of at least $10 billion that the UAE had invested in various US projects just that year. One Washington operative who has the UAE as a client even created a video mashup of Dubai Ports World news footage, which he shows to wealthy Emirati to remind them of the importance of D.C.-oriented giving."
Have we looked into this man at all?

Just a note: Saudi Arabia - or Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is NOT the same as UAE - United Arab Emirates. They are separate countries. List of GCC countries and Nations
