Clinton’s Swiss Ally Gave Big Bucks To US Campaigns

Hansjorg Wyss, a billionaire Swiss citizen and multi-million dollar Clinton Foundation donor, gave 30 contributions to American political campaigns over a nine-year period, according to an investigation by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Federal law has imposed a strict, across-the-board ban since 1966 on foreign nationals giving to U.S. political campaigns. The ban was later included in the 1974 Federal Election Campaign Act. The only exception is for foreign nationals who possess a green card. The ban applies to all levels of political campaigns.

Wyss donated $41,000 to seven congressional candidates and to four national political action committees from 1998 to 2003, according to Federal Election Commission records under the name of Hansjorg Wyss.

Colorado campaign finance records also report that Wyss gave $50,000 to Coloradans for Responsible Growth in March 2000, a statewide environmental political action committee that closed its doors only two years later, in part because it reportedly never filed the required financial statements.

In April 2006, Wyss gave $10,000 to Jim Baca, a Democrat running for New Mexico’s Commissioner of Public Lands, according to the State of New Mexico Ethics Administration.

So why has she not been arrested?

The people who wrote the law (Congress) violate it with impunity and callous imperial flair. And you know why, too, don't you?
TWO SETS OF LAWS.
When the serfs are subjected to draconian penalties and prison terms for what the Masters do on a daily basis, well, THAT has spelled doom for EVERY country, kingdom, and government that has EVER allowed it to happen.
The serfs, sooner or later, realize that if they don't forcefully stop it, it will only get worse.
Equality under the law is a cornerstone of our republic, that's true.
What is also true is that it no longer exists here.
Keep cheering.

From the source article:
..“the FEC is pretty aggressive in referring this kind of violation to the Department of Justice as a criminal matter.” LMFAO
