Is there a downside to making this illegal? Should a foreign entity really have a say in a sovereign countries elections?

[billorites]

Money Badger don't care.

[Snuph]

It already is illegal! There is clear intent in the fact they do not require cvv codes for donations yet they most certainly do require cvv codes to buy merchandise

Katie Pavlich is reporting on Townhall that foreign bloggers posting links to Obama’s solicitation websites have openly stated they are contributing even while acknowledging that it's illegal to do so.

FEC should freeze the accounts for say about 90 days while they investigate. I know it's just a dream, but I sincerely hope it results in serious criminal action against Obama and his criminal network.

There was an article on Drudge about this donation scandal the day after the debates, blaming the fact that Obama had just learned of an investigation into the use of untraceable pre-paid credit cards for donations, hours before the debate and that he was distracted.

Good one, and very appropriate.

[jazusamo]

Correct, this is politics 101 but Obama and his brazen Chicago style politics thugs don't give a hoot if everyone knows exactly what's taking place. The number one law officer in the country is in Obama’s back pocket, birds of a feather.

We all knew this, didn’t we?

Jihad donors, and China donors too.

Please bump the Freepathon or click above and donate or become a monthly donor!

Looks like he has many back door ties to China.

Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo,

I’ve got a perfect puzzle for you.

Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-dee,

If you are wise you’ll figure out me.

What do you get when you lack oversight?

Democrats running wild and government blight.

What are you then if you would rather cajole Dems?

A failure of a Speaker who embraces mayhem.

I don't like the look of it

Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-da,

Given testicles leaders will go very far.

You will live in happiness too,

Unlike the testicle-less oompa loompa do-ba-Boeh-ner-dee-doo.

[Mortrey]

How do you hire a hacker?

[SparkyBass]

[pepperdog]

Well, we really are a global community now aren't we?

[Mortrey]

May someone “re-direct” these funds to anti-abortion groups.

[dsrtsage]

This will be headline news on ABS, CBS, PBS, MSNBS just like Fast and Furious. Any minute now...

[jazusamo]

Sure seems like it and the turkey in the WH is doing his best to make it so.

The lack of a CVV2 field on the Obama for America website is very suspicious. CVV2 is the 3-digit or 4-digit number on the bank of your credit card that you enter for a card-not-present purchase (e.g,, Internet or telephone). CVV2 is required by PCI regulations for all card-not-present transactions to prevent fraud. Failure to submit the CVV2 for a CNP authorization results in the merchant bank laying out huge non-compliance fees.

If a card taker (merchant) doesnÎÎt enforce AVS or CVV2 the credit card transaction is called ‘non-compliant’. Non-complaint transactions typically have a much higher discount rate than compliant transactions. A typical discount rate for compliant transactions is around 2.4-2.9%. If the card is from overseas it is called ‘international non-compliant’ and it goes even higher; the discount rate can shoot up to 7-10% per transaction.

An intrepid reporter could ask whether Obama’s merchant bank is actually assessing those penalties, or if there is a special agreement in to waive the penalties and if that constitutes an illegal payment-in-kind to the Obama campaign.

We’re talking tens of millions of dollars. It would make the Clinton-era China scandals look like stealing lunch money.

The key to uncovering this scandal is finding the identity of the bank. Îve been searching high and low since the whole AVS thing broke in 2008 and nobody seems to know.

And if it turns out that the mystery bank is actually in Shanghai or China..
