Another day, another corrupt Trump crony heads to prison.

California venture capitalist Imaad Shah Zuberi was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Thursday for unregistered foreign lobbying, illegal campaign contributions and obstruction of justice.​

​

Details: The obstruction of justice charge against Zuberi stemmed from an investigation into a $900,000 contribution he made to former President Trump's inaugural committee. Zuberi was also ordered to pay a $1.75 million fine and $15.7 million in restitution.​

​

• Prosecutors allege Zuberi solicited money from foreign nationals and governments that he then used to hire political operatives and to funnel donations..
  • Zuberi pleaded guilty to illegal lobbying, tax evasion and illegal campaign contributions in November 2019. He subsequently pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice in June 2020.

“Zuberi turned acting as an unregistered foreign agent into a business enterprise,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers said in a statement. “He used foreign money to fund illegal campaign contributions that bought him political influence, and used that influence to lobby U.S. officials for policy changes on behalf of numerous foreign principals."​

San Gabriel Valley businessman Imaad Zuberi, who once donated millions of dollars to both Democrats and Republicans for their campaigns, was sentenced to 12 years in prison on charges of funneling foreign money to US political campaigns, tax evasion and failing to register as a foreign agent. According to reports, he pleaded guilty on Friday, February 19, in Los Angeles. Zuberi has come under scrutiny for making big donations to the inaugural committee of both Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

US District Judge Virginia Phillips, who imposed his sentence, said, “All of these are serious offenses.” Zuberi has reportedly been filed with $1.7 million and ordered to pay $15.7 million to the government in restitution for “unpaid taxes, interest and penalties.”

Tell the truth. He was a bipartisan crook.

Indeed it is, and it's one of the several destructive elements of Identity Politics.

It's amazing how the two ends of the spectrum can be so damn similar in their behaviors.

Cult45 is chock full of victims. If they didn't have their victimhood, they wouldn't have a platform. Hell, they wouldn't have a party.

So, what backfires here? Your hypocrisy?

This guy's mistake was in adding Trump's campaign to his donor list. As long as he was working for Democrats and RINOs he went unnoticed.
