Is Obama campaign cash quashing eligibility suits? FEC shows more than $1 million paid to top law firm since election April 22, 2009 By Chelsea Schilling © 2009 WorldNetDaily President Obama may be using campaign funds to stomp out eligibility lawsuits brought by Americans, as his campaign has paid more than $1 million to his top lawyer since the election. According to Federal Election Commission records, Obama For America paid $688,316.42 to international law firm Perkins Coie between January and March 2009. FEC's Obama For America 2009 April quarterly report, disbursements by payee The campaign also compensated Perkins Coie for legal services between Oct. 16, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2008 – to the tune of $378,375.52. Robert Bauer of Perkins Coie – top lawyer for Obama, Obama's presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and Obama's Organizing for America – is the same Washington, D.C., lawyer defending President Obama in lawsuits challenging his eligibility to be president. As WND reported earlier, Bauer sent a letter to plaintiff Gregory Hollister, a retired Air Force colonel, of Hollister v.

Bauer's warning was dated April 3 and delivered via letter to the plaintiff's attorney, John D. Hemenway. It is not the first such warning issued.

With enough lawyers campaign funds become fungible. See also New Mexicans for Bill Richardson, Bill Richardson,plaintiffs-appellants, v.

The more interesting question: why not pay ten bucks to Honolulu Kinkos? Why the six-to-seven figures for opacity? Where's that transparency?

The darker criminal question: These six hundred million in campaign funds came from overseas phantoms--puppetmasters installing their Islamo-Commie Kenyan mole to destroy the nation.

POTUS tipped his hand in the Odinga campaign.

Now ACORN will have all the burning tires and machetes it needs to subdue the election process and the annoying Christians.

Farah never listens to anything I tell him.

[Polarik]

Thanks, but I’m not going to pursue the matter of WND using my story idea. At least WND ran with it, and that’s all that really matters.

[cripplecreek]

We know where it came from. The fact that WND is getting it out there is important.

[azishot]

What a stinkin’ shame they won’t give you credit. At least we know and can pass that around.

[katiekins1]

Agreed.

FEC shows more than $1 million paid to top law firm since election...

The money went to one lawyer, Bob Bauer, and not to the whoole law firm.

And,

NO

, it is not legal because the lawsuits began before Obama was inaugurated as President/
