WASHINGTON (AP) — Organizing for Action, a group formed to back President Barack Obama's agenda, has fired one of its fundraisers and acknowledged falling short of its standards as questions were raised Friday about whether the group solicited donations in exchange for access to Obama or White House officials.

And a pig just flew by my window.

” falling short of its standards” = got caught.

And of course, we hear about this, it is criminal, but nothing will be done.

Giving back the checks does not ameliorate the crime.

And.....Dinesh is being literally persecuted by Holder for far less.

No.1 rule, In Chicago politics, STEAL & TAKE AS MANY
BRIBES AS YOU CAN; BUT DON'T GET CAUGHT!
(and "share the bribe/cut" as required, it's tradition)
No.2 rule, Repeat No.1, as often as necessary.

Holder probably called el presidente and told him he had some info. El Presidente said we will take care of it from here, close the files.

Transcript of phone call to fundraiser: Burn the files, leave.

Is it even “money” anymore?

Used to be gold.
Then it became Federal Reserve NOTES.

Now, it’s just oughts and ones in a computer somewhere. Anybody with the correct password can change it to whatever they want.

"It is $25K per person to attend and for those that raise or write $100K, there will be a small clutch (intimate gathering) with the president prior," Maltzman wrote in one email.

I realize all politicians do this...

But one would think the POTUS should be above selling himself like a three dollar whore to the highest bidder...

Samantha Maltzman, a longtime Democratic fundraiser, has been forced to resign after emails surfaced between her and Dr. Munr Kazmir, a major donor

The ONLY reason this is happening to this O-Bot is she was stupid enough to leave a paper trail...
