The head of the Republican National Committee is calling on President Barack Obama to return half a million dollars in fundraising Jon Corzine raised on the president's behalf, now that the former one term New Jersey governor's bankrupt brokerage firm is under investigation by the federal authorities.
"In light of the FBI Investigation into Jon Corzine's company, President Obama should immediately return the $500,000 that Corzine raised on his behalf," said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, in a statement released Thursday.
A government regulator said in court Wednesday that roughly $600 million is missing from the books of bankrupt brokerage MF Global, which is headed by Corzine, a former Goldman Sachs CEO and former Democratic governor of New Jersey and U.S. senator. Corzine's firm filed for Chapter 11 protection on Monday following a panic from investors over its holdings of risky European debt.
The FBI and federal prosecutors are now investigating how some $600 million of MF Global customers' money went missing, CNN learned Tuesday from sources close to the probe.
According to federal election records, employees of the company contributed more than $100,000 to the president's re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee. And this year Corzine has contributed the maximum legal limit to both the Obama campaign ($5,000) and the DNC ($30,800).

Follow the money trail, in the front door out the back and into thier pockets and war chests for election time. Isn’t transparency great
$600 million? I thought it was $1.5 billion...
These people are our sworn enemies.
We simply must remove them from office, bring in a conservative administration backed by large majorities in the House and Senate who not only turn things around...but who hold hearings and go after these people for their crimes.
Thanks tobyhill.
It's just us little people conservatives that need to be concerned about ethics I thought.
String ‘em up (anybody got any string?).
Oops, sorry, that was racist.
Lynch Corzine (anybody got any lynch?).
For Owebowmao: harsh language and stern warnings not to get caught the next time.
Obviously OWSers cannot read or do the math!!!!
When do the OWSers start storming the White House - or is that the plan???
How ‘bout impeachment proceedings. Oh, that’s right! We don’t do anything unless we’re guaranteed victory.
President Barack Obama's re-election campaign would return the donations made by embattled MF Global chief Jon Corzine if he were charged with any wrongdoing, a campaign official said on WednesdayBut Obama's staff is in charge of deciding IF he will be charge with any wrongdoing, so obviously, they will try to find a way to NOT do so. (It will cost them 5 or 6 hundred thousand re-election dollars if they did).
With everything else this bozo is doing, I think we're almost in Russia.
Question for each of the Republican presidential candidates:
When you’re elected President, will you swear to investigate and prosecute the corruption within the Obama Regime including Obama?
Boner is too busy searching for his gonads with both hands and a mirror; nada so far.
TARP and stimulus monies were a huge "pay back" to Obama insiders----and was designed to install a permanent Dem majority.
The monies provided a tax-free revenue stream---kick-backs, a carousel of donations round and round, back and forth, to Obama, the DNC, Dem candidates.......best described as an illegal conspiracy to rig the Federal Reserve, loot the US Treasury, defraud American taxpayers.......all of it entailing trillions of dollars.
THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD: O's henchman who masterminded the heist----ex-Wall Street conniver, Rahm Emanuel---stood at a mic and said he had "raised" $10 milllion for his mayoral race. The little jerk actually expected people to believe that.
Obama tossed around the idea, bragging that he would be the first "billion dollar" candidate---but that was before Americans were losing their jobs at mach one speed.
Mother Jones mag did the definitive article, noting that Obama's gang heisted some $14 trillion.
Keep in mind that Rahm Emanuel not only was O's COS---Rhambo also controlled the US Treasury and he and his brother control hundreds of billions in Medicare/aid/O'care funds.
The WH also controls the census. Why? B/c the census has all the CV needed to file falsified reports with the FEC----some people donated to O and the Dems with monies wire-transferred from offshore numbered accounts....... and don't even know it.
They’ll just sweep it under the table like normal. “We won’t call attention to your failings if you leave ours alone” is the mantra.
