Big news coming out of Washington! Last week, Attorney General William Barr indicted 8 individuals on some SERIOUS charges, among them is one of the top witnesses from the Mueller investigation.
There apparently has been a massive scheme of illegally funneling foreign donations to Democrats.
According to Fox News,
Two Lebanese-American businessmen — including a witness in then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe — are among eight people charged with conspiring to funnel more than $3 million in illegal foreign campaign contributions to an unnamed candidate in the 2016 elections, the Justice Department announced on Tuesday.
Although the indictment does not specifically name the 2016 candidate, campaign finance records indicate that the recipient of the donations was Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
In an unsealed 53-count indictment, prosecutors alleged that Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja, CEO of an online payment processing company, and George Nader, who has acted as a liaison between President Trump’s top advisers and officials within the United Arab Emirates, conspired to conceal Nader’s $3.5 million in campaign contributions to an unnamed 2016 presidential candidate by making them in the name of Khawaja, his wife and his company, Allied Wallet Inc., all while Nader allegedly reported to an official from a foreign government about his efforts to gain the campaign’s political influence.
Some of the individuals named have been Adam Schiff, Cory Booker, Hillary Clinton, Kirsten Gillibrand, Ted Lieu, and George Nader who was Mueller’s key witness.
To see a full list of all the recipients of donations from this scheme, you’ll find them here.
The Department of Justice released the following:
Earlier today, an indictment was unsealed against the CEO of an online payment processing company, and seven others, charging them with conspiring to make and conceal conduit and excessive campaign contributions, and related offenses, during the U.S. presidential election in 2016 and thereafter.
Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and Assistant Director in Charge Timothy R. Slater of the FBI’s Washington Field Office made the announcement.
A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia indicted Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja, 48, of Los Angeles, California, on Nov. 7, 2019, along with George Nader, Roy Boulos, Rudy Dekermenjian, Mohammad “Moe” Diab, Rani El-Saadi, Stevan Hill and Thayne Whipple. The 53 count indictment charges Khawaja with two counts of conspiracy, three counts of making conduit contributions, three counts of causing excessive contributions, 13 counts of making false statements, 13 counts of causing false records to be filed, and one count of obstruction of a federal grand jury investigation. Nader is charged with conspiring with Khawaja to make conduit campaign contributions, and related offenses. Boulos, Dekermenjian, Diab, El-Saadi, Hill, and Whipple are charged with conspiring with Khawaja and each other to make conduit campaign contributions and conceal excessive contributions, and related offenses.
According to the indictment, from March 2016 through January 2017, Khawaja conspired with Nader to conceal the source of more than $3.5 million in campaign contributions, directed to political committees associated with a candidate for President of the United States in the 2016 election. By design, these contributions appeared to be in the names of Khawaja, his wife, and his company. In reality, they allegedly were funded by Nader. Khawaja and Nader allegedly made these contributions in an effort to gain influence with high-level political figures, including the candidate. As Khawaja and Nader arranged these payments, Nader allegedly reported to an official from a foreign government about his efforts to gain influence.
The indictment also alleges that, from March 2016 through 2018, Khawaja conspired with Boulos, Dekermenjian, Diab, El-Saadi, Hill, and Whipple to conceal Khawaja’s excessive contributions, which totaled more than $1.8 million, to various political committees. Among other things, these contributions allegedly allowed Khawaja to host a private fundraiser for a presidential candidate in 2016 and a private fundraising dinner for an elected official in 2018.
The indictment further alleges that, from June 2019 through July 2019, Khawaja obstructed a grand jury investigation of this matter in the District of Columbia. Knowing that a witness had been called to testify before the grand jury, Khawaja allegedly provided that witness with false information about Nader and his connection to Khawaja’s company. Boulos, Diab, Hill, and Whipple also are charged with obstructing the grand jury’s investigation by lying to the FBI.
Currently, Nader is in federal custody on other charges.

Finally! It is about time. The first of what I hope will be many more indictments and prosecutions of illegalities involving the regime of the Fascist-in-Chief Obama, the most corrupt administration in at least recent history.
Nobody important is getting indicted. Barr has already made that clear when he twice declined to indict Comey after being twice recommended by the IG. Barr is one of the elite!
Well, if Sondland’s latest statement and reported by chris wallace , mr sondland lied under oath in schiff’s investigation in the house , and his testimony . ten to one heal write a book, it’s funny that all the people caught up in this farce and after being fired or charged with something went on making millions on a book wheather it was wright or wrong , take comey for one.
don’t forget Hillary’s ‘book’
I’ll believe it when I see people behind bars, and not just a slap on the wrist.
Wow…and it is about time. This is the opening wedge.
Democrats are criminals. Vote them out!
Has anyone else noticed that when anyone loosely tied to Donald Trump was accused of jaywalking 20 years before meeting him, it was THE top news story for a week, but 8 people being indicted on charges directly involving Democrats is barely mentioned?
That’s because libtards love and protect criminals.
Because the main stream media is just as corrupt as the democrats.
Just more proof of the Fake News being nothing but an arm of the DNC.
It get’s curiouser and curiouser……notice there are no Libs replying to this story! The truth really shuts them up for a moment or two. Now, I believe it’s illegal to ACCEPT donations from foreign entities, but I’ll have to recheck that. Either way, eight of the Dems big money sources has just left the field, and that has us smiling!
This is only the tip of the iceberg! I think the Democrats pulled out all the stops and are going for broke on the 2020 election. Here’s why. They know that another Supreme Court Justice choice like the last two will seal their fate for a long long time. With Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg being very sick lately, they know that President Trump could have the opportunity to appoint at least one in a second term. We don’t wish any ill on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg but there is a fact of lots of years behind her and her health has been affected by several issues. I think they feel that it is now or never. I feel strongly that Justice Antonin Scalia was murdered in an effort to swing the court left. It was felt that if Obama doesn’t appoint one that Hillary would get the chance. They felt confident that Hillary would win in 2016. When she didn’t they had to go for broke or suffer the consequences of a balanced or slightly right court. Here we are today listening to the most absurd arguments for impeachment that anyone could ever imagine. Many longtime Democrat leaders will feel the embarrassment of the Senate trial and disclosures that came from it.
I believe you’re on to something…..the last thing Pelosi and the gang (don’t forget the Clintons) want is another Trump appointment to the Supreme Court. He has already damaged their court control with the first two appointments and he is kicking butt on federal court side (187 new judges?) This a big tragedy for them and without the White House they don’t stand a chance. So don’t be all that surprised to see more unexplained deaths, or disappearances. They will stop at nothing since it’s all about power for them, otherwise, why would they be trying to take our guns away….they already have the press on their side and they’re still trying to get rid of FOX news any way they can. They OWN our education system and that’s why they’re fighting so hard to stop alternative schools from being funded…..Charter schools are teaching REAL subjects like history the way it really happened, and math and science…not social reform! Next time your at a town hall ask the Democrat why they’re so afraid of Charter Schools….you wan’t get a straight answer……. if you get an answer at all!
Now that we may FINALLY have an uncompromised DOJ, there may come some honest and timely JUSTICE meted out to those who have had it coming for a very long time and all of them appear to be Commiecrat leftist loons. I will not Dignify then with the term Democrat as that would make the unwarranted assumption that they are somehow AMERICAN which is simply not so if they are taking illegal campaign contributions from foreign nationals, especially Muslims who are very likely inimical to all things American as they are the MOST INTOLERANT PEOPLE on the planet with a 1400 year history of being Anything BUT the Religion of Peace they claim to be. As the web of lies and deceit expands, it is hopeful that the entire house of cards will disintegrate further as the principals involved turn each other like piranha to make deals to lessen their own punishments and we should crucify all of them with NO DEALS whatsoever for their acts of BOTH sedition and High Treason as defined by Chapter 18 of the U.S, Code and may the God in whom so few of them believe show them mercy because I will NEVER do so and neither should ANY Real American Citizen after the violation of their oaths and the betrayal of every Founding principle they were SWORN to defend and uphold , BUT DID NOT! I took the same oath and served Honorably and was disabled in Vietnam by Agent Orange used on us all by our own Government, but Honored the oath despite such dishonoring of it by those we elected to serve us. They are pathetic and should be removed and punished, EVERY ONE OF THEM!
No doubt the perpetrators are of Muslim extract but George Nader is from the Dominican Republic, if I am not mistaken.
Unfortunately the willing stooges in the media will carry their water and try to make them non-culpable in all this….and there are enough people in this country watching ABC, NBC, CBS, and the rest of the cable left wing loonies, to tilt public opinion polls in their favor. I have good friends who don’t believe a word of what I tell them about the phony witch hunt of Trump, and when I ask them “if he did any of the things they’re blaming him for, why isn’t he in jail or impeached, or worse?” They tell me that there’s a giant right wing conspiracy which is trying to take over (“The New World Order”) and they believe it because Tom Brokaw (or one of the talking heads) said it! How are we going to fight that INSANITY?
Ken I have family that listen to the fake news media and swallow whatever they say as truth so my prayer is that the real truth be revealed so a fair and honest election may be held. Was Iowa caucus fair and honest? No. But the chaos on one side reveals trouble that must be dealt with by both sides. I am one vote and I may disagree with my president from time to time but the proper process is to vote and have the will of the people in a fair election under God select who serves in our government.
God bless AG Barr, keep up the great work.
Let’s see if these indictments go beyond the small fry.
Exactly, they wont!
This is somewhat encouraging, but I want to see all the big fish get fried.
Are these the foreigners who contributed to the Obama Campaign in 2008. The FEC contacted the Campaign twice that I know of with the last time being in August either in 2008 or 2009, not sure which. Don’t know how it ended up. All foreign contributions s/b handled as illegal as they are. No exceptions fir Democrats.
Considering that Democratic names were mentioned as foreign funds recipients here, there’s no data on the registration nation of companies making donations, of the citizenship of donors or any other vital details about lawbreaking. So instead of an article of truth and reliability, we have supposition, innuendo and guessing to smear Democrats when nothing may be amiss. Typical Trump-style campaign smearing from 2015-16 that put the liar-in-chief into the Oval Office and superficial data collection that allows/allowed appointments to the court in the supine Republican Senate and acquittal of Trump himself on corruption charges. Is this what ‘freedomupdates.com’ stands for? Not me, an ordinary thoughtful American with a modicum of information about grand juries, corporate bases, campaign donations and the like. What a farce, called faux news.
Obviously a CNN watcher. You need to take the foil hat off your head and open your eyes to see the truth when it’s staring you in the face, otherwise you may go crazy listening to the loons and all their huffing and puffing about what’s going on. Do you REALLY want ILLEGAL aliens to have drivers licenses, free health care and free college tuition? …..Do you REALLY want babies being executed AFTER they are born?….do you really want politicians telling you what you can drink, eat, and drive?…..Do you REALLY want the Second Amendment of the Constitution abolished? …..Do you REALLY want to hand over your Health Coverage (and more) to the Government (Democrat or Republican)? Then stay on the road you’re on cause that’s where it’s taking US……ALL OF US,,,,,,,and I, personally won’t allow it!
Justifications justifications and more justifications. Denials, denials and more DENIALS from the DONKEYS!
Not when it is all written on the DOJ website. I guess you would call DOJ fake news then…🧐🤔 Btw, with the witch hunts on going, I guess you don’t support innocent until proven guilty either? Biased fake trials, fake leaker news clips and hyped up lies. 🤨 Our current President did nothing illegal. Wake up to the Democrat deceiving agendas. The last three years is screaming corruption within the deep state. And now look, another o era whistleblower was suspiciously murdered, just when he was going to publish the criminal names. Anyone with common sense can see what is going on. Secret biased basement interrogations, making up laws as they go along. We have the most transparent President ever. His performance under undue stress is truly by the help of our Lord Jesus Christ. No one can destroy good except that HE would allow it.
Dr. Bill, What kind of Doctor are you, Mr. Bill ? These perpetrators are INDICTED by AG Barr. They are accused of a crime and should be tried ! Your opinion of the president, who was legally elected and totally exonerated of false charges, is ONLY your opinion, big deal!
Somehow those idiots will blame Trump and braindead liberals will take that as facts.
Read Dr Bill Lemoine’s reply above…..you hit the nail on the head. When they’re confronted with facts which don’t fit their narrative they complain that it’s lies, rumors and innuendo. The Left can’t tell what’s real anymore because they’re listening to the Leftie Media because it fits their beliefs.
Hope they all sing a pretty tune about Obama, Hillary, Pelosi and all involved in the Coup against our Pres. and bringing down our country !
William Barr and John Durham are not here to Play either and they doing more than what we Know period
I see nothing new here that has not already been reported on repeatedly….
Well I never heard that they were actually investigating any of the stuff that they had. Bush had eight years to do the job on the Clinton’s….they knew then, but the Bush’s just wanted to get along. He thought if he played nice the they would play nice……he was so naive!
With hillary involved you do know that those 8 people will commit suicide.
LOL how right you are. I wouldn’t be surprised, in fact I wrote that very same thought in a reply above earlier
Next to be indicted-Hillary Clinton.
I demand it……..but just think how loud the screams of the Dems and the Media would be….it would drown out the facts completely….unfortunately!

Seriously?? Desperate, deranged, lawless Nancy Pelosi is trying again for impeachment using the tired old Russian communist narrative that insists political rivals are mentally ill! The key to understanding leftist Democrats is projection—they accuse President Trump of what they are themselves. The Democrat party leaders are completely unhinged because they know Trump is unbeatable in 2020, and his continuing success at draining the Washington swamp is exposing their staggering corruption one by one. AG Barr just indicted 8 people for funneling millions of dollars to Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, and top senate Democrats. The Bidens and Pelosis have been implicated in Ukrainian corruption scandals. It is a simple political equation—Trump Derangement Syndrome levels rise as the DC swamp water levels recede.
HERE, HERE Couldn’t have said it better myself, you have a nice way with words……TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is rampant and we all better be guilty of spreading it!!! We definitely have work to do!
Linda Goudsmit is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! I COULDN’T PUT IT BETTER! TRUMP 2020 AND OUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS WILL LIVE IN THE WONDERFUL FREE COUNTRY WE GREW UP IN…….! THE DEMS, FOR THE MOST PART ARE MONEY AND POWER HUNGRY SOCIALISTS AND COMMUNISTS!
Can you repeat that in English, please?
get them all
why haven t the people that lied about trump being indited?why arn t the people involved in the coo being indited where is justice for beloved country and the people in it and pres. trump
Just the very tip of the Iceberg. This should go much further up the demo-commie food chain to Obozo.
Wow, I noticed that Az blond bimbo was in there as a recipient as well. Guess she need the bucks to make up all them votes the demon-tas made up to get that skag elected lol.
I pray AG Barr takes very much care of himselfl, hes the one uncovering and the most likely to suicide.! I pray for Him. God Bless and keep him safe!
Who dreams up this crap? Nothing is said of our humble leader criminal behavior, but I guess that is OK after all he is a poor old rich boy who broke so may laws that they can”t count them all. But he is going to make America great again. To bad our allies are laughing up their sleeves since they can not believe that the once great USA has elected a baffoon or a president.
Yes, youre right, obama was the greatest bufoon and deceiver in US history.! Criminal behavior, lies, cheating and did zilch for our country.!
YOU, ARE AN IDIOT! SINCE YOU LOVE SOCIALISM………….MOVE! YOU DON’T DESERVE TO LIVE HERE!
once again, fall folks, lower level folks get hammered
Wonder if Barr will be frog walking Schiff out of the house for accepting illegal contributions. I won’t hold my breath waiting for this to be reported on MSNBC or CNN.
So many have already been brought to Gitmo for MIlitary Tribunals. Just because you don’t hear about it on MSM does not mean things are not happening. They are….more than you know. If the truth of all the arrests came out there would be riots on the street, as so many are still asleep. Pray for Justice and truth and that God will continue to Bless, guide and protect our President and all the great Patriots that are saving and restoring OUR REPUBLIC. May God Bless and Protect them.
Cynthia you are correct in my opinion!
These actions are FELONIES are they not? Why not put these criminals in jail MR. BARR?
In 2011, the french General Acounting Office had noticed that the french government has donated 541 million dollars to the Hillary Clinton’s foundation within 4 years. I think it mtches with Sarkozy’s time as president.
Put them in cages, talk is cheap and start with the first scumbag on the list
