FEC Report: Obama’s Campaign Paid Over 5 Million To Law Firm... To Keep His Records Sealed?
FEC ^ | 2/24/13

Posted on 02/25/2013 3:05:17 AM PST by My Favorite Headache

The following is information that was compiled from the official Federal Elections Commission (FEC) website for disbursements from the Obama campaign to Robert Bauer's law firm of Perkins Coie, which represents Obama in various eligibility and records suits.

Perkins Coie does not appear in the pre-general election filing. You are free to pursue any further information that is of interest. But one would assume that the official FEC website to which the Obama and other campaigns must report their financial activity would be taken by even the most skeptical among us as valid documentation of the reported $1 million to $6 million, or anything in between, figure illegally expended to defend the eligibility suits.

This information is about the legal fees AND RENT(?) only of that one law firm, not the Department of Justice attorneys that have also represented Obama in several courts, court fees, or other related costs.​

Note: When the queries return their results, search the table on "Perkins" or "Coie"

All Filings by OBAMA FOR AMERICA -- C00431445

1st Quarter, 2012, FEC report for Obama for America was not yet posted, as of 6/15/2012. I contacted the folks at the FEC and they have informed me that the Obama for America (C00431445) committee has been filing monthly since February 2012. So there are no quarterly reports for 2012. Monthly reports for October, November and December, 2012 have not yet been posted.

Note: The above query is now failing, but the number is what the FEC reported earlier this year. I have reported it to the FEC. Carlos Luna, of the FEC, responded and says a candidate must be an Active (Declared) Presidential Candidate before the deadline of a particular report (Q1, Q2, …etc) for their report summary totals to display here. The Q1 (while it was previous displayed) was removed, because The Obama for America first quarter report was filed before the Obama statement of candidacy was filed.

I have a very close friend who is an IP Attorney for Perkins Coie up in Wisconsin...raging liberal...almost left of Castro. Obama supporter broken glass style. Our friendship has been fractured over the last 3 years when she turned total MSNBC bat shit crazy on me for attending the D.C. marches and being part of the Tea Party. Too bad...have known her since 1986. She is just over the edge...all of them at Perkins are for Obama and the union movement.

Although most of us accept that this money was spent to hide Obama’s past, Someone will soon come along here and ask just where that is specified.

If it isn’t written in black and white,”Money to hide Obama’s Past” it will not be accepted by Obama bots.

How come it is that he is the only person that can keep his secrets secret?

NOT SO. Nadhmi Auchi uses the same tactics to extreme to cover his tracks as well. Mr. Auchi with his background in scurrulous dealings around the World is understood why he would desire to cloak his history, but Barack Obama should be open for scrutiny as President of the United States, and should never have been elected in the first place with his history cloaked as it was/is.

Nadhmi Auchi plays some role in this deceit I am certain.

I stand corrected. Nadhmi Auchi does a great job of keeping secrets - I’ve never heard of the man!

Yes, it is a long documentary.

It explains a great deal about where and how our money is created - out of thin air - and how economic depressions originate. Most of all it explains how powerful international banking and international corporate interests control our lives and our political parties, and who their loyal elitest dogs are in this nation.

The media - TV, radio, print - in this country are owned by them, so you will not get unbiased news. We only receive propaganda.

The large legal firms are owned by them, as most of them are controlled by Democrats.

The Democratic Party, like the Communist Party USA, is wholly owned by the Money Masters. They use other political groups, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, to achieve their goal.

They are neither liberal nor conservative, rather they are amoral. Their goal is global power, their tool is money, and they have no difficulty finding people in powerful positions to corrupt.

Much about Nadhmi Auchi has been scrubbed, but you will find some items of interest by doing a search still.

He’s in the UK. Uses UK law to hide cloaked by a phalanx of private security, and hordes of lawyers to ensure nobody finds out what he doesn’t want known, and his lawyers have a track record of winning.

Some of his scurrulous dealings included defense Minister for Saddam Hussein way back in the early days of that regime, as well he became later the owner of a bank he used his ill gotten gains as an arms bootlegger to establish. The list of really nice guy things that he was involved in goes on, and on. Although denied there are pictures of him attending functions with Obama.
