Federal prosecutors on Friday alleged that a political fundraiser offered six witnesses in a case against him $6 million for their silence.
The prosecutors also accused Imaad Zuberi, who is already accused of funneling foreign money into U.S. elections, of acting as an unregistered agent for the Turkish government and for Libyan government officials, as well as other foreign countries.
Zuberi later Friday pleaded guilty to counts on tax evasion, campaign finance violations and failing to register as a foreign agent.

Lawyers for Zuberi asked a California judge Thursday to reschedule their client’s guilty plea to December, in order to “allow the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) to find a single voice – not New York and Los Angeles voices speaking over each other – so he can globally resolve all potential charges instead of being subject to serial prosecutions for the identical conduct by different offices of the DOJ.”
It seems there are more schemes out there to undermine our election process than any of us could even imagine. We keep our eyes on the usual suspects while the others sneak in and cause havoc. How do we win against that?
Is there ANY ethical, moral lawyer in EITHER the New York or LA Attorneys General divisions?
