In 2008 the American Issues Project released an ad tying Barack Obama to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. “Barack Obama launched his political career with the direct assistance of Bill Ayers.”
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
The Obama camp used the DOJ to demand an investigation and prosecute American Issues Project
That’s not all… Obama goons threatened 10,000 GOP donors with legal trouble and public harassment if they continued to support Republican candidates. The Wall Street Journal reported, via Jammie Wearing Fool:
On Aug. 21, 2008, the conservative American Issues Project ran an ad highlighting ties between candidate Obama and Bill Ayers, formerly of the Weather Underground. The Obama campaign and supporters were furious, and they pressured TV stations to pull the ad—a common-enough tactic in such ad spats.
What came next was not common. Bob Bauer, general counsel for the campaign (and later general counsel for the White House), on the same day wrote to the criminal division of the Justice Department, demanding an investigation into AIP, “its officers and directors,” and its “anonymous donors.” Mr. Bauer claimed that the nonprofit, as a 501(c)(4), was committing a “knowing and willful violation” of election law, and wanted “action to enforce against criminal violations.”
AIP gave Justice a full explanation as to why it was not in violation. It said that it operated exactly as liberal groups like Naral Pro-Choice did. It noted that it had disclosed its donor, Texas businessman Harold Simmons. Mr. Bauer’s response was a second letter to Justice calling for the prosecution of Mr. Simmons. He sent a third letter on Sept. 8, again smearing the “sham” AIP’s “illegal electoral purpose.”
Also on Sept. 8, Mr. Bauer complained to the Federal Election Commission about AIP and Mr. Simmons....

Bob Bauer must be prosecuted. Spending some time in the Gray Bar Hotel would be good for him.
Is that this Bob Bauer???
LOOKING TO STEAL MORE VOTES IN THE FUTURE.
Commission to identify practical, real-world solutions to long voter lines, access to polls.
WASHINGTON, May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Presidential Commission on Election Administration was officially launched today, following President Barack Obama ‘s State of the Union pledge to identify non-partisan ways to shorten lines at polling places, promote the efficient conduct of elections, and provide better access to the polls for all voters.
The 10-member Commission will submit a final report to the President within six months of its first public meeting, which is expected to be held in Washington in June. Headed by Co-Chairs Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsberg , the Commissioners are experts in election administration, policy and procedures, or leaders from customer service-oriented businesses and industry.
“The President’s expectation is clear,” said Co-Chair Bob Bauer , who served President Obama as White House counsel from December 2009 until 2011, and as General Counsel to the President’s re-election committee and to the Democratic National Committee. “The Commission is charged with developing recommendations based on the best information available for administrative practices that afford voters the opportunity to cast ballots without undue delay and improve their overall experience.”
The Commission was created by Executive Order 13644, Establishment of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration. Commissioners were appointed by the President.:
Robert F. Bauer , Co-Chair and Member – Partner, Perkins Coie LLP
Another Obama Executive order.
Its becoming more obvious why it seemed no one wanted to talk about Obama’s past associations during the past two elections.
History has shown that people who live by mob tactics eventually meet their end in a very ugly way.
THE FOREIGNER should be IMPEACHED. Then we clean house in the government infested by socialist democrats
The Democrat Party should be named the Communist-Democrat Party.
We’ve been socialist for a long time now, since before WWII, and both parties bought into it.
Yep! one in the same!

Outgoing White House Counsel (December 2009 to June 2011)
Why He Matters
Bauer is one of the nation’s pre-eminent experts on election and campaign finance law, and his views are enormously influential with Democrats.
Married to Anita Dunn.

Bauer is returning to New York University Law School this spring to teach a seminar on political reform.
The course will encompass campaign finance, lobbying laws, voting rights and more—topics Mr. Bauer has had ample exposure to during his 30 years of practice as a lawyer, which include stints working for political campaigns and the Democratic National Committee.
It gets better.
Read the end of this paragraph.
During his time on the campaign trail, Mr. Bauer led challenges to new voter laws backed by Republicans—including suing the state of Ohio in July—and lobbied the Federal Election Commission to allow individuals to text in donations (as did his Romney counterpart). Mr. Bauer also sought to compel the well-funded Republican advocacy group Crossroads GPS to disclose the names of its donors, citing millions of dollars the group has spent on campaign ads attacking Democrats.
This is the guy who pulled the chains with the IRS on behalf of the White House.
You can’t make this stuff up. On May 21, 2013 Obama appointed Bob Bauer to A FEC Presidential Commission on Election Administration.

Once Bill Ayres stated “Guilty as sin and free as a bird.”
That statement can also apply to Hussein Obama.
Oh Well Soon The Wookie and the kids will be off on an extended vacation to Martha’s Vineyard, and Reggie can move in for a while.
Culture of THUGS is more like it. ‘Hooliganism’ my butt.........
Obama has got to go while we still have a country. What are the republicans doing about this???
And Lois Lerner was at the FEC.
Threats should be recorded and then plastered on drudge 24/7
I think everyone should carry a cell phone with video recording capabilities as well as a MP3 player with a record function at all times if you are anywhere near the top of any grass roots oganisation...
We need to start documenting these treats and the blackmailing from government oganisations.
Also record both local and to the “internet” at the same time so if they take your cell phone they won;t get away with it...
Will the next Republican U.S. Attorney General have the stones to investigate and prosecute Obama’s thugs for their abuse of power? The first 2016 Republican presidential candidate to make such a promise will have a clear advantage.
nothing here to see. Close your minde and eyes.
Not sure there will ever be another one elected.
You can take crooks out of Cook county but you can’t take Cook county out of the crooks.
So now we know why “full disclosure” is so important to the libs
