Details about diplomatic passports are unclear in the several reports I read. For one thing, the value of a diplomatic passport lies in DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY. DI is not mentioned anywhere so far:
More importantly, was Huma Adedin figuring out how to get laissez-passers for foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation?
The conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch on Thursday released a new trove of emails from Hillary Clintonâs tenure as secretary of State that show Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band lobbying a Clinton aide for a diplomatic passport.
âNeed get me/ justy and jd dip passports,â Band wrote to longtime Clinton adviser Huma Abedin. âWe had them years ago but they lapsed and we didnât bother getting them.â
The identity of Bandâs associate was not immediately clear.
Abedin responded favorably in the emails provided.
âOk will figure it out,â she replied.

Laissez-passer was the part that fascinated me about S-Kâs legal problems in NYC when he surrendered his passport. Concerned New Yorkers felt better when he gave it up no matter what it is. Eventually, I learned that laissez-passer is French doublespeak for diplomatic passport? To be precise, a laissez-passer is an alternative travel document issued by the United Nations. I remember asking âWhere do I get one?â
The more I learned the more I smelled a rat because a laissez-passer can be issued by an organization ââ any organization. To make Strauss-Kahn give it up along with his passport gave laissez-passers a legitimacy they are not entitled to. Logically, the judge should have made Strauss-Kahn surrender his library card, too.
Just how much weight a government gives to a laissez-passer is another matter entirely. Adolf Eichmann escaped from Nazi Germany on a travel document issued by the International Red Cross. Argentina had no obligation to accept it but it did. Presumably, a little money changed hands.
The good Lord only knows how many corporate CEOs have one in their back pockets; nevertheless, who do you think has access to laissez-passers? The answer is big shots whether they be CEOs, or government officials fleeing from a failed government like Adolf Eichmann, or well-connected criminals. In short: They are nothing more than an escape hatch for the worst people in every country. Put it this way, every law-abiding American can get a passport, but how many Americans can get a âtravel documentâ from the United Nations?
Question: How many Muslim terrorists have laissez-passers issued by the United Nations?
