A former US Congressman pleaded guilty today to obstruction of justice and working as an unregistered agent for a foreign charity linked to global terrorism.
Mark Deli Siljander, 59, a former US representative from Michigan, pleaded guilty to charges contained in a 2008 indictment related to his work for the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA) of Columbia, Missouri.
Co-defendant Abdel Azim El-Siddig, a former IARA fundraiser, also pleaded guilty to conspiring with Siljander and others to hire Siljander to lobby for IARA’s removal from a Senate Finance Committee list of charities suspected of having terrorist ties.
Siljander, who also had been an alternate representative to the United Nations General Assembly, had concealed the organization for whom he was lobbying.

So: Why isnt he being charged with treason, and how many other Congressmen are doing the same thing?
Funny how this story has had almost no coverage by the MSM at all.
If you can believe it, he’s a Republican.
Debbie Schlussel’s former boss.
Basic reporting, who,what,where,when & how. My bet is there was a big “D” behind this traders name. Only DemocRATS get passes on $hit like this.
We need to take a stand now folks!
I thought you had to be kidding and did a search...LOL!
Maybe we’ve learned what it takes for a Republican to avoid press coverage.
Wasn’t he a single-term Congressman from 1982, very conservative, as I remember? Now he’s a Moslem? Read an older edition of the Almanac of American Politics and verify this.
What is his rank?....I’m losing count!
SOB was a RINO! Got to clean house NOW. Get rid of the infestation in DC.
This is shameful. Where are Obama and Holder?
He’s a GOPer
He was my congressman from southwestern Michigan, for a single term. He was under the influence of some local “pastors” and his re-election literature was full of references to the devil, and Satan being in control of Washington, etc. It made a lot of people uneasy and he was sent packing. I always thought he was an empty suit, prone to being influenced by almost anyone with a few bucks to hand out. This doesn’t surprise me.
From Google news?
Eagerly awaiting news of democrats that did the same thing.
(probably not from Google news, though....)
Agreed-—ALL should face treason charges.
Why isnt he being charged with treason, and how many other Congressmen are doing the same thing?”
Because he KNOWS who the other congressmen who are doing the same thing?

You have probably hit the nail on the head.
