Breaking: Fugitive Obama Fundraiser Linked to Fast and Furious
Pundit Press ^ | 2/7/2012 | Thomas Ferdousi

Some developing news in the case of Juan Jose Rojas Cardona, who is a fugitive on drug and fraud charges. In 2009 it was discovered that he was involved in a plot to assassinate a rival and bribe Mexican officials.

This has gone public, as has his $200,000 in fundraising done for Barack Obama. Obama has now returned the money, but the scrutiny on Cardona continues. It now appears that Cardona's links to the organized crime world also ties him to the DEA, which ran Operation Fast and Furious. Cardona was allegedly involved with a top drug cartel across the border, which laundered millions with the help of the American government.

Just recently, his brother Carlos attempted to his Juan pardoned by the Democratic Party out of Iowa:

As recently as January of last year, one of Mr. Cardona’s brothers in Chicago, Carlos Rojas Cardona, arranged for the former chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party to seek a pardon from the governor for Pepe Cardona, according to prosecutors in that state. None was forthcoming.

Wikileaks exposed a US Consulate cable that showed five million dollars in bribes that the Cardona brother had paid to Mexican politicians, and also exposed that they may be linked to the Beltran Leyva drug cartel!

I don’t believe they actually give the money back. They just tell the media that they do


Hope you don’t mind but I’d like to change that to

they have told the MSM to TELL US that they have given it back.

>> Nah, nothing will ever explode around Obama. The MSM will make sure of that. <<

Correct. I'm sure the MSM is already fast at work trying to find out if Cardona ever donated $1.00 to Bush.

Nothing will stick to Obama. He makes Bill Clinton look like an ungreased cookie sheet.

Obama is protected because he is the first black president. He should not be protected, but he is and there is nothing we can do about it other than vote his sorry butt out of office in November.

Operation Fast and Furious was an ATF operation.

Sanchez sensed early that Obama was going places. “I have been a Barack Obama supporter since he first campaigned against Bobby Rush,” he explains during an interview in his office. “If you get in on the ground floor, you might be remembered.”

Definitely a quote worth saving. We'll see how this all shakes out. Hopefully, Issa is serious about F&F and is ready to take this all the way.

Shall we call it “Fast and Furious Gate?” Maybe wait awhile until Little John Boenher caves in to The Obamanator on a pending Cave-In Deal with Holder.
