Prominent GOP fundraiser charged in covert lobbying effort

Elliott Broidy, a prominent fundraiser for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, has been charged in an illicit lobbying campaign aimed at getting the Trump administration to drop an investigation into the multibillion-dollar looting of a Malaysian state investment fund.

Broidy is the latest person accused by the Justice Department of participating in the covert lobbying effort, which also sought to arrange for the return of a Chinese dissident living in the U.S. A consultant,The case was filed this week in federal court in Washington, D.C., with Broidy facing a single conspiracy charge related to his failure to register his efforts under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires people lobbying in the U.S.

Prosecutors allege that Broidy worked with Davis and others to get the Justice Department to abandon its pursuit of billions of dollars that officials say were pilfered from 1MDB, a Malaysian wealth fund that was established more than a decade ago to accelerate the country’s economic development., who has been charged in the U.S. with conspiring to launder billions of dollars from the fund.

The attempt to wipe away legal troubles was ultimately unsuccessful: The Justice Department in 2018 charged Low, who remains at large, in connection with the alleged money laundering and last year reached a civil settlement to recover more than $700 million in assets that officials say are traceable to the looted funds.Broidy has been a top fundraiser for Trump but resigned in 2018 from his role as deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee after it was revealed that he paid $1.

A lawyer for Broidy declined to comment on Thursday. The allegations are contained in a charging document known as an information, which typically signals an intent to plead guilty.

Grand ole party indeed!!

So he paid the Trump admin, who then investigated and caught him. Sounds good to me

Trump & his Friends/Associates Obama/Biden administration had zero indictments/charge in 8 years. Trump is approaching 300.

Money talks.

Why is it that all trumps team look like crooks ?

Over 16,000 Christians sign petition rejecting Amy Coney Barrett, telling GOP senators Bible condemns 'hypocrisy''Progressive and moderate Christians alike must speak out now against this latest election-year hijacking of our faith,' Faithful America said. None, of her rulings cited her faith or can be taken as a 'Catholic ruling'. Her body of work is similar to Scalia which is a strict interpretation of the law as a reflection of the time the law was written. ex. A law written in 1860s isn't interpreted to apply to the internet. I can sign a paper claiming to be christian, too, but we on the right tend to possess a bit more integrity than our left-most neighbors. These are the 'Christians' who support a healthy baby having it's arms and legs torn off--tortured to death--on the day before it is to be born.
