Sorry not many facts yet, just the tease....

But let's hope this has legs.  

http://www.wtop.com/278/3066362/Examiner-Source-says-Obama-donor-scandal-breaking-soon

Little more details here:

http://washingtonexaminer.com/was-obama-rattled-by-developing-donor-scandal-story/article/2509895#.UG8mf6MUe01

According to knowledgeable sources, a national magazine and a national web site are preparing a blockbuster donor scandal story.

Sources told Secrets that the Obama campaign has been trying to block the story. But a key source said it plans to publish the story Friday or, more likely, Monday.

According to the sources, a taxpayer watchdog group conducted a nine-month investigation into presidential and congressional fundraising and has uncovered thousands of cases of credit card solicitations and donations to Obama and Capitol Hill, allegedly from unsecure accounts, and many from overseas. That might be a violation of federal election laws.

I am too.  But this smells like another, "Obama shits on Constitution while beating his wife and kids.  See it tonight only on Hannity" type of deals.

The theory is already going around that Obama's pitiful performance Wednesday evening was because of his dwelling on this.

Well if they are directly circumventing election laws by soliciting overseas donors it might have some impact.  All we need is stuff like this to sway 1/2% of the undecideds....

The old man with a yard full of garbage had the secret info stashed on his property, and handed it off to a young Army reservist, who was later assassinated by DNC agents acting as NYPD officers.

Thank you for properly using the word "cue", rather than the incorrect "queue" or "que".

So what...

If the penalty for violating that law were you can't run in the election it might matter.  The 47% and a good chunk of the rest will still vote for this guy.  Remember the mayor of D.C.?

His campaign did this in 2008. Nothing happened then, nothing will happen now. We're not a nation of laws. Get used to it.

Egggzactly, the problem with overseas donors (I,000's of them on the same CC account) was so bad in '08 that the FEC eventually said " we just don't have any means to prosecute something so widespread as this". They too are derelict in their duties, and should be disbanded, and replaced with a computer to do the record review for us. Then jail the guilty parties.  obutzit gotta go, dontcha' know.  jmtcw  44.

Yep, tons of allegations last time along with plenty of people overseas telling the various media outlets about how they donated , how much they donated and even how they did it.  Just one of the multitude of improprieties with this group of crooks and thugs.

I'm sure it's criminal, nothing comes of it, MSM continues Romney attacks

They traced the donations back to the middle east back then and no one seemed to care except me.

WTF is the difference this time?

They will do like always. Pay it back, say they didn't know and that will be the end of it.


I don't think so. The report I just watched said 47% of the traffic at his main web site donation page was foreign, 20% at his secondary site, and a whopping 68% at Obama.com which is ran by one of his gay buddies. Fuck Obama, he is going down HARD!!!!

 



FUCK OBAMAO

Quoted:


The exact same thing came out about Obama the first time, he was in clear violation of the campaign finance laws, he doesn't care, and since he won the election nothing was ever done about it.  So now we have the exact same thing, part 2, unless the mass media decides to report it nationwide, nothing will happen this time either.  Mass media covered up for Obama last time, they continue to do the same thing, they will ignore it and nothing will happen.  


Eric "the cuntface" Holder is why nothing was done, we have had no dept. of Justice under this administration. All other avenues are driven by Congress so that was a nogo from the start as they had control locked up. I hope our new AG prosecutes the fuckers for the next 20 years straight and makes them pay every dime of illegal donations to the Treasury. As they will have spent all of it and more they will be in hock so deep they won't be able to afford socks.
