But Obama offered?

And who says that there wasn’t another back door quid-pro-quo.

This can be useful at least as a talking point. “We all know that Democrats are hypocrites, this just proves it.”

The article is meant for younger folks who are not as wise as you.

See post # 9, kiddo.

Remember, facts are not important to Democrats. That is the game that they play until fiction becomes reality in the minds of low information voters.

Keep quiet about what?
Did obama have something to hide?


No, he really didn’t. In the church basement the good Rev Wright ran the DLC, and it helped good people like Barack and Mooch meet up and marry. I believe it stood for the Democrat Leadership Club, say the wives, and I’m sure they were only doing great things. Must have been, because they met up to 3 times a week and came home exhausted.

Did the Obama campaign merely offer the money, or was it paid?

“Why bother? Only Trump actions are investigated.”

Exactly. No. One. Cares.

The dems don’t have a problem with hypocrisy.

I don't know.

There are two other stories noted in two posts on this thread. You may find your answer there. (Try post # 9.)

From your link:

Wiki:
The case involved sweeping pay to play and influence
peddling allegations, including the alleged solicitation of personal benefit in exchange for an appointment to the U.S. Senate as a replacement for Barack Obama, who had resigned after being elected U.S. President (see bribery).[10] U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald noted that there had been no evidence of wrongdoing by Obama.[11]

Much more?
Eh not really.
I sort of followed it as I live in Chicagoland.

It really boiled down to bribes...offer for money/pay to play. Money did not change hands.
