Obama Campaign Fined Big for Hiding Donors, Keeping Illegal Donations

[Schifference]

Oh my God Trump had illegal campaign contributions? His payoff to stormy was illegal? He is the first president to have illegal contributions or mishandle contributions?


BARACK OBAMA'S presidential campaign has been fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for violating federal disclosure laws, Politico reports.

An FEC audit of Obama for America's 2008 records found the committee failed to disclose millions of dollars in contributions and dragged its feet in refunding millions more in excess contributions.

The resulting fine, one of the largest ever handed down by the FEC, is the result of a failure to disclose or improperly disclosing thousands of contributions to Obama for America during the then-senator's 2008 presidential run, documents show.

From 2008? Jesus only a decade later... Guess we can see what Hillary is up to about when I retire...

This is really going to hurt him in 2012.

I wonder why the government and the media never did anything about it while he was in office.

The goal was to create a compelling narrative of a scandal free presidency.

It's a 2013 story. But even so....they kept it quiet until after the election. Meh - I think the FEC should be abolished regardless.

Maybe farting in a chair should not be sufficient to keep your cushy government job?

I would prefer to pay them for that if they would just leave me alone.
