Couple Indicted for Illegal Donations ($30,000+) to Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC)

[Tx4obama]

A Mount Pleasant business owner faces a multi-count federal indictment for a scheme to donate thousands of dollars in illegal campaign money to the re-election campaign of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham.

Federal authorities allege in April indictments that were unsealed Monday that Jian-Yun “John” Dong took more than $30,000 from a German national and funneled the money through illegal sources from 2007-09 to support Graham’s re-election campaign.

He also used money from the German businessman to make donations to the Graham’s political action committee Fund for America’s Future.

Graham’s campaign on Monday said they have cooperated with investigators and they noted that in the indictment it notes that the campaign was not aware of the violations.

1. Dong is a Chinese national -- or was -- but has an impressive resume in the US as

a researcher & professor.

his undergrad & MD work was done in china. phD u of alabama 86-92 & in the us thereafter.

it's a bit odd that he was doing ebola vaccine for the gov.

2. And Graham didn't know a thing about this. I believe that-not! nt

3. Vaccines for Ebola and Marburg for the US military?

Could there be germ warfare in the works? Or I guess the military is going to use soldiers as guinea pigs again for another vaccine.

4. Is Graham giving the money back?

I didn't think so. And Dong? What a dick (it had to be said).
