A U.S. shipping company with ties to the Iranian oil industry has spent years donating money mostly to Democrats, as have family members of one of its founders.

Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (OSG), the world’s skirting U.S. sanctions meant to limit American companies’ interaction with the regime, Bloomberg reported.

Members of OSG’s founding family—as well as its political action committee—are prominent financiers of the Democratic Party, donating nearly $1 million to various candidates and causes over the past decade. Their disbursements raise questions about the prevalence of Iran-tainted money in the political sphere

I don't know if they are traitorous, or just careless about where there money comes from. However, It is worth noting just what kind of people are contributing.

I would vote BOTH, but I don’t think they are careless about where money comes from, I think they court it.
