Who said the following?: “I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, and worse, by foreign entities.” You’ll find the answer at the end of this article.
On October 6th, Breitbart.com fired the opening salvo in an emerging campaign financing scandal: The Democrats claimed that they’d raised $181 million in September. Only 2% of the donations, or three and a half million dollars, is traceable. On Monday The Washington Examiner released the results of a 108-page, eight-month investigation by the Government Accountability Institute into campaign funding impropriety by House, Senate and presidential campaigns.

Some of the findings:
- The president’s website is not owned by the administration; it is owned by a major Chicago bundler for the administration, Robert Roche. Mr. Roche has visited the White House 19 times.
- Mr. Roche lives in Shanghai, China. So does the president’s website.
- When one types in the president’s website address one is immediately redirected to a donation page.
- The president’s outreach and fundraising have targeted websites in Chinese, Arabic, Thai, and Korean.
- 68% of the traffic to the site is foreign traffic. Donations from foreign nations are illegal.
- The White House pressed for suppression of this report.
