TRUMP DONOR AND AGENT OF FOREIGN POWERS IMAAD ZUBERI GETS 12 YEARS IN PRISON FOR OBSTRUCTING PROBE INTO FOREIGN FINANCING OF TRUMP INAUGURATION

The news is mangling this story yet again - THIS IS FROM THE MULLER INVESTIGATION, MANAFORT, AND UKRAINE/RUSSIA. Thread.
Like megacriminal George Nader, this Zuberi guy gave money to both parties. (The headlines are trying to make him a "Biden donor," which is horseshit, not the point.)

So this Zuberi guy got hammered by the Government in sentencing memos because he failed to register FARA as apparently agreed.

And who was this Trump donor a foreign agent for?

HAVE YA GOT ALL DAY?
Qatar, of course! (Hi @RoyBlunt)
Political money laundering kings Sri Lanka!
HOLY MACKEREL! FARA for Turkey! Libya! Ukraine! Bahrain! Mars! Narnia! Stanstanistan! Moustachistan!
Suffice it to say that from the laundered Russian NRA money, the bribe from the Egyptian dictator, from the Middle East, and the flood of foreign cash into the Inauguration - which enriched Trump himself!!!
