At The Examiner, via Instapundit. This doesn't sound like much to me, because it's the same old stuff his campaign did in 2008, but I guess we'll see.
President Obama's reelection campaign, rattled
by his Wednesday night debate performance, could be in for even worse
news. According to knowledgeable sources, a national magazine and a
national web site are preparing a blockbuster donor scandal story.
Sources told Secrets that the Obama
campaign has been trying to block the story. But a key source said it
plans to publish the story Friday or, more likely, Monday.
According to the sources, a taxpayer watchdog
group conducted a nine-month investigation into presidential and
congressional fundraising and has uncovered thousands of cases of credit
card solicitations and donations to Obama and Capitol Hill, allegedly
from unsecure accounts, and many from overseas. That might be a
violation of federal election laws.
The Obama campaign has received hundreds of
millions in small dollar donations, many via credit card donations
through their website. On Thursday, the campaign announced a record
September donor haul of $150 million.
At the end of the 2008
presidential campaign, the Obama-Biden effort was hit with a similar
scandal. At the time, the Washington Post reported that the Obama
campaign let donors use "largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that
could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is
legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor's identity."
