Another campaign contribution laundering scheme has made the headlines, this time a fake contribution scam pulled by the hotel company owned at the time by Gordon Sondland. You remember old Gordon, Trump’s ambassador to Europe there for a while. Ha! Ha! Good times.

Turns out, the president of his hotel company, Bashar Wali, and Wali’s wife Eileen purportedly made political contributions, in their own names, that were then promptly reimbursed by the company. That’s illegal under federal campaign statutes. 

And to whom did the laundered money go? Why, in part to Ron Wyden and also to a “leadership PAC” that Wyden controls – something called “Hoops PAC.”

This comes on top of Ron’s people’s roles “in the loop” of last fall’s contributions of hundreds of thousands of dollars in stolen crypto account holders’ money by the Bankman boys.

I’m tellin’ ya, for the saint that the Portland media makes him out to be, that Ron is one dark dude. I don’t call him Gatsby just because he lives in New York.
