Gülen's loyalists donate generously all candidates - regardless of which side they stand - to steer the Congress
Remzi Öten, a Turkish American businessman known with his close ties to Fetullah Gülen, has reportedly donated $100,000 to Correct the Record; a strategic research and rapid response team, designed to create and reinforce Hillary Clinton's image for her campaign in the U. S. presidential elections, set for Nov. 8, 2016.
This is only some portion of funds Öten has donated to Clinton's election campaign via his company Öten Inc. He is also known to have funded $2,695 publicly for the Republican's campaign through Sena Case, his California-based company he had established in 1999 with his brother Fevzi Öten, who is also among the leading supporters of Gülen, wanted for forming and running terrorist organization in Turkey, known as FETÖ.
A snapshot, released in Bloomberg's company overviews page, says Oten, Inc., doing business as Sena Case, which designs, manufactures, and markets leather cases for phones, smartphones, tablets, laptops, readers, and MP3 players. The company was founded in 1999 and is based in Irvine, California. As of October 30, 2012, Oten, Inc. has been operating as a subsidiary of Targus Group International, Inc.
Gülen's loyalists have reportedly donated generously to support all candidates - regardless of which side they stand - to be able to steer the Congress. There is no clear finding that shows how much they have donated to date, but these donations indicated how they have used funds, collected under the color of financial aid.
Meanwhile, Gülen, also the mastermind of the July 15 coup attempt, has apparently stepped up his works to lobby against Turkey in the U.S. Congress with the help of his loyalist Fevzi Öten, who is apparently close to some congressmen. Gülen's campaign against Turkey was particularly revealed when one of his followers was included on the speakers list of a U.S. congressional panel on Sep. 15 to debate the aftermath of the coup attempt in Turkey.
The panel witnessed the speech of Ahmet Sait Yayla, a former police chief, who is a member of Gülen's terror network, led by Representative Dana Rohrabacher of California, who has been backed by Fevzi Öten in his election campaign. Yayla's appearing in the panel coincided with the Turkish government putting pressure on Washington to extradite Gülen as the key suspect in the coup case. He has reportedly denied at the panel that Gülen hatched the coup and claimed the ruling party and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan himself was behind the attempted coup.
Öten had been reportedly allocated $500 to Rohrabacher as financial support on October 18, 2012 in the previous elections. Rohrabacher, who allowed FETÖ to campaign against Erdoğan in the Congress, is said to have links to the Central Intelligence Agency, CIA.
