Federal prosecutors on Friday alleged that a political fundraiser offered six witnesses in a case against him $6 million for their silence.
The prosecutors also accused Imaad Zuberi, who is already accused of funneling foreign money into U.S. elections, of acting as an unregistered agent for the Turkish government and for Libyan government officials, as well as other foreign countries.
Zuberi later Friday pleaded guilty to counts on tax evasion, campaign finance violations and failing to register as a foreign agent.

This here is the type of sentencing Ruby Freeman needs to have handed to her, and those of her ilk that flout the law and cheat like hell during elections.
Per each count!, stacked sentences.
Sounds like he’s in trouble no so much for foreign influence peddling as for failing to peddle influence- keeping much of the money from foreign countries for himself rather than passing it along to US politicians. And out of San Francisco, no mention of Pelosi? Maybe if he had remembered to give her a cut...
Restitution to who?
“In 2017, Zuberi contributed $900,000 to Donald Trump’s presidential inaugural committee.”
What was he thinking? Had he limited his illegal contributions to HRC and Obama, he would still have an open invitation to the Lincoln Bedroom.
$900,000 to Trump is a surefire FBI investigation. If they don’t find something illegal, they will just make it up.
Who was that, I wonder?
