Towards the end of last week, there was talk of a blockbuster donor scandal brewing...well, it seemed to have broken in a big way on Breitbart this morning, but with little fanfare elsewhere (thanks to our feckless media). I'm sure this is another one that Holder will work vigilantly to get to the bottom of (don't hold your breath)...
Breitbart News obtained an advance copy of the bombshell report which reveals that the Obama.com website is not owned by the president’s campaign but rather by Obama bundler Robert Roche, a U.S. citizen living in Shanghai, China. Roche is the chairman of a Chinese infomercial company, Acorn International, with ties to state-controlled banks that allow it to “gain revenue through credit card transactions with Chinese banks.”
There’s more.
The unusual Obama.com website redirects traffic directly to a donation page on the Obama campaign’s official website, my.barackobama.com, which does not require donors to enter their credit card security code (known as the CVV code), thereby increasing the likelihood of foreign or fraudulent donations. The website is managed by a small web development firm, Wicked Global, in Maine. One of Wicked Global’s employees, Greg Dorr, lists on his LinkedIn page his additional employment with Peace Action Maine and Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights. According to the GAI report, 68 percent of all Internet traffic to Obama.com comes from foreign visitors.
How convenient for Obama that the majority of September's record donations ($181M) are $200 or under, therefore the campaign doesn't have to report the identity of those donors.
Also to note, the GAI report found both presidential campaigns, both party's national committees, and several members of Congress on either side of the aisle are also vulnerable to illegal campaign donations. Lovely...says so much for the state of our sovereignty, doesn't it?
