GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 5/10/2019 | Christina Laila

The feds indicted Pras Michel, a rapper for the group ‘The Fugees’ on Friday for funneling millions of dollars of foreign money to Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign.

The Justice Department accused Mr. Michel of funneling foreign money to pro-Obama super PACs without disclosing the origins of the money, which was reportedly tied to Malaysian businessman, Jho Low.

Jho Low was indicted last year on conspiracy charges related to a scam bilking 1MBD of hundreds of millions of dollars, but will face additional charges along with Pras Michel – Low, however remains at large.

The Justice Department announced Pras Michel was hit with a four-count indictment including conspiracy to defraud the US and making foreign campaign contributions was unsealed Friday in the District of Columbia.

The timing of this is very interesting given that Democrat presidential campaigns are just gearing up. This could be seen as a shot across the bow for those who believe that they can get away with illegal campaign funding.

Even if the MSM doesn’t spend a lot of time on it, I guarantee it will get around the Hollywood cocktail circuit.

This is O.K. even if it is from a 2012 campaign. It tells the miscreants that the law can reach them even after all this time.

"I’m glad it only took 7 years to find this out and charge him."

We spent 8 years with corrupt Federal law enforcement. I'd rather we waited until Lynch, Holder, et al were gone to bring charges like this.

And Trump judges help too. We're looking good.

I wonder if hussein and others will return the money? Hah.

The “scandal free” administration of the Halfrican Muslim didn’t notice this little problem the whole time the Wookie’s beard was in orifice...

Sounds like we don't have to obey Federal "laws" any more.

If the Feds send gunthugs, then get there before them, and go after the ones who sent the gunthugs.

"Surely SOMEONE in the campaign is assigned to account for these bundled donations, as in “hey, where did all this money come from?”

No, bitt. It's just routine to suddenly have twenty million dollars deposit. Why would anyone blink an eye? It's just tens of millions of dollars suddenly donated from shady overseas sources.

Why, if I was running for the county seat, I wouldn't think twice about tens of millions suddenly pouring in to my campaign.

Would they annul 2012 elections then? Collusion, isn’t it?

We should just remove all the Federal judges that were appointed in the Halfrican's second term.

And put Eric Garland up on a tree as a warning...

We are on track for 2020 being the largest voter fraud campaign ever committed. Nothing has been done to prevent it.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If 2018 was any indication of what to expect,. I’m afraid you might be right.

These are probably also Muslim dollars as Malaysia is mostly Muslim.

“...a rapper for the group ‘The Fugees’...”

Are they a “gay” rap group?

Actually folks, this is big. They were funneling tens of millions of “Asian” dollars to Democrat campaigns.

Not really....one news cycle and down the memory hole it goes...

Remember, according to the media there were NO Obama scandals...

Wasn’t there another instance of illegal campaign donations, for which Obama’s admin paid big fines?

Plus, weren’t there questions raised about all the $5 internet donations that originated overseas? Wasn’t that swept under the rug? Or was that what Obama was fined for?

My memory’s fuzzy, but I seem to remember Obama was elected with a LOT of foreign collusion.

Pictures of coup members in handcuffs, please. Otherwise, it’s just another story where nothing happens to anyone who tried to overthrow our President.

Makes me wonder why Obama would deny Michel access to the WH. The Obamas always had the entertainment industry in the WH. Denying him access makes O look guilty.
