Hi,
Would please help me understand the sentence below? I don't know what point the author is trying to make by using the word "portfolio" here. Here goes:
"Michael Piper, who carries a portfolio from AIPAC, the Israeli lobby in Washington, lies a great deal."
Thanks

I don't think portfolio means anything other than a suitcase here. The person is just being described. It may also suggest that the briefcase carries that company's logo.

: " M Piper, who carries a portfolio from AIPAC, the Israeli lobby in Washington, lies a great deal" is more of personal discribtion of a person, in a attitude wise if you will rather than what he carries in person ( Physical).

در سازمانی صاحب منصب بودن، عضو سازمانی بودن
We know that portfolio means "position of a government minister", i.e.: وزیر. However, we have to modify it a little as we are discussing a position in the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Therefore, "to carry a portfolio from an organization" means to "hold a position" in that organization, be a meber of that organization: در سازمانی صاحب منصب بودن
It should be noted that Michael Piper, who brags about his Jewish ancestors and carries a portfolio from AIPAC, the Israeli lobby in Washington, lies a great deal and does so as a representative of Mark Lane and American Free Press.

..who is a great supporter of...
I don't think this means literally "working for" the organization, rather being a big supporter of it.

: Actually it does, since he is more like a representative of that company, so he carries their portfolio within his speeches, representations regarding and concerning that of AIPAC.
