This is Grammy-winning artist Pras Michel shaking hands with Barack Obama in 2012.
Just officially reported to prison to begin a 14-year federal sentence after prosecutors proved he helped funnel millions in illegal foreign money into Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.
The operation: Prosecutors proved Michel accepted more than $100 million from Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho in a covert influence scheme tied to influencing U.S. elections.
The laundering network: Michel used straw donors to secretly route foreign cash into Obama’s 2012 campaign, bypassing federal election laws designed to prevent foreign influence in American elections.
The verdict: A federal jury convicted him on 10 criminal counts, including conspiracy, money laundering, witness tampering, and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government.
In other words: Barack Obama colluded with a foreign power to illegally influence and rig the 2012 presidential election in his favor.

Obama will never go to prison for these illegalities, but he should.
Wake me when they Perp Walk 0bama and ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named.’
But, hopefully this will gain some traction.
It’s too bad he didn’t have this guy in charge of PAYING THE CONTRACTORS who built his Presidential Mosque Library in Chicagoland. *SPIT*
He should have been in prison for the past 14 years.
That son of a whore won. Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble but this commie was trained to find the most vulnerable method to destroy western Christian civilization. Courts, and immigration. By the time these leftist commie judges die, the turd world turd immigrants will have outbreed the locals in every country. It is over. Prepare accordingly. We are in hell. Obama is the prophet of the commies.
Jho Low was a fraud king who stole $ billions from investors while palling around with A listers. Low stole Billions from Malaysia pension funds and government programs. Had a super yacht built and left for China, never to be seen again. Read a book called, the “Billion Dollar Whale”, it covers Low’s crime and back ground.
His good friends call him ‘Barry’... And these dudes likely called him Barry. Will Barry go to jail???
Ask the Clintons... LOL
Low Tech Joe sounds like a good name for a rap artist.
Obama weaponized the govt to go after his political rivals and those who vote for them. He should never be forgiven for that.
” ...And I would have gotten away with it too,
were it not for that gosh, darn Republican run
Department of Justice!!”
People still think Obama made his millions selling his book?...LOL
“Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho”
He’ll never make it in Silicon Valley with a name like “Low Tech Joe”
