It's back: Russian collusion in the 2016 Presidential campaign

[VitaMan]

In an unsealed indictment, dated September 9, prosecutors allege Jesse Benton "conspired to illegally funnel thousands of dollars of foreign money from a Russian foreign national" into the campaign.


In October 2016, Benton received a $100,000 wire transfer from the unnamed Russian national, the indictment states, promising him that he would get to "meet a celebrity" at a fundraiser in Philadelphia on September 22, 2016.


Prosecutors do not name the candidate, but former President Donald Trump was hosting a fundraiser that night at the Ritz-Carlton in Center City, Philadelphia.


The Russian national attended the fundraiser, according to the indictment, his travel to the United States facilitated by an alleged co-conspirator, Roy Douglas Wead, a conservative author. All three "had official photographs taken with Political Candidate 1," prosecutors say.


The two are accused of falsely portraying the contribution as payment for "consulting work." Benton kept most of it himself - $75,000, according to the indictment. The rest was donated to the politician in Benton's name.


Around the same time, Benton - who managed Paul's 2010 run for office, as well as the 2014 campaign of another Kentucky Republican, Sen. Mitch McConnell - was convicted of campaign finance fraud over his role in the 2012 Ron Paul presidential campaign. He was sentenced days before the Philadelphia fundraiser to two years probation and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.


Before leaving office, Trump pardoned Benton for that crime.

Wait and see how this turns out.


The Trumpeter already pardoned him for one crime. Now he is in hot water again.
And......the Trumpeter already pardoned Steve Bannon.....and he is also in hot water again.


Is it true criminals always return to the scene of the crime......or possibly better to say, commit more crimes ?
