An FEC auditor is battling to have a formal investigation launched into the Obama campaign for its accepting more than $200 million in potentially illegal foreign donations. The auditor, who has leaked his case to the press anonymously out of fear of retribution, has contacted both the Department of Justice and the FBI.
“I can’t get anyone to move. I believe we are looking at a hijacking of our political system that makes the Clinton and Gore fundraising scandals pale in comparison. And no one here wants to touch it.” Ironically, it was Hillary Clinton who first raised questions during the Democrat primary about the voluminous sales raised by the Obama campaign via e-retail.
The analyst says his supervisors are unwilling to touch the case is because Justice Department or FBI involvement would be indicative of a criminal investigation, something the FEC would prefer not take place a month before the presidential election. Such actions, though, have been used to scuttle Republican campaigns in the past, the most famous being the Weinberger case in the days leading up to the 1992 re-election bid of President George H.W. Bush.
The FEC analyst says that Obama’s filings indicate he has received large, bundled sums of donations from overseas, sometimes exceeding a quarter millions dollars. “It’s suspicious, but it’s the small donations made by credit card that need to be examined. We’ve raised red flags on many of these and the Obama campaign just ignores us. After this election, after we’ve sifted through everything — if we’re allowed to sift through everything — I am confident that we are looking at perhaps the largest fine every leveled against a national campaign entity.”
A former Clinton campaign fundraiser conceeds, “there is no way the Obama campaign will be held accountable before Election Day, unless someone raises holy hell.”
