With the critical identifying info skipped, I don’t see how easily.

Another good piece on this from 2008, adding the observation that illegal contributions would probably not be returned (so were they?):

The Obama Campaign’s Credit-Card Crack-up

The campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has been and may still be accepting credit-card and prepaid-card contributions from overseas. It has done so in a way that may very likely prevent it from refunding the contributions to “donors,” many of whom may have had their credit cards used without their consent. It’s virtually impossible that the system for accepting card contributions was inadvertently set up without adequate controls, and almost certain that existing controls were instead deliberately disabled to create untraceability. Finally, it is likely that the total dollar amounts involved run in millions, if not tens of millions, of dollars.

And the comments include this very interesting item:

Hillary brought up the same complaints about the Obama contribution schemes when she was running against him. In that instance they found many $2K contributions from non-English speaking Chinese working at a laundromat. And the MSM brushed it aside as they do now.

There were jillions of intentional, fraudulent campaign donations:

Nice link, thanks! I’ll be mining that for a bit. . .

So which officials would have been responsible for investigating this and following up to make sure fraudulent donations were returned after the 2008 election? That might be interesting to pursue.
