When President Barack Obama was reelected in 2012, a Saudi tycoon and his business associate sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to the U.S. to help pay for the inaugural celebration and get a picture with the president, according to court documents and an analysis of campaign finance records by The Associated Press.
U.S. election law prohibits foreign nationals from making those sorts of political contributions. But the donations Sheikh Mohammed Al Rahbani tried to send to Obama's inaugural committee were funneled through a seasoned straw donor, the records and the AP analysis show.
That intermediary, Imaad Zuberi, agreed this month to plead guilty to making illegal campaign contributions to several American political candidates on behalf of foreign nationals.

Just a gesture of goodwill.

After sending so much money to the Clinton Foundation they probably felt they needed to true things up.
hmmm.....so, AP is throwing their boy Barry under the bus.

So, when can we expect Obama to be indicted for receiving illegal campaign contributions? I mean, they’ve got the contributor so obviously they should also have the recipient, right? Right?
A review of Obama’s election filings of donations for 2008 showed a sizeable donation from “GA”.
People thought that was from the USA state of Georgia.
When looking at the PHONE NUMBER, it became clear that this ‘donation’ was from GAZA.
TOTALLY ILLEGAL.
Followed by crickets...
What is the statute of limitations over this crime?
