An investigation has found that an Islamic businessman determined that the best way to revive the Ottoman Empire would be to invest large sums of money in the U.S. and to court U.S. Congressmen with lavish trips to Turkey. An investigation conducted by the newspaper USA Today found these trips “repeatedly violated House rules and possibly federal law.”
The key to making the scheme appear legal was to claim the trips were for nonprofit humanitarian purposes. Lobbyists, lobbying firms and foreign principals are prohibited from financing or arranging trips for members of Congress, but Congressmen are allowed to accept free travel if it is paid for by nonprofits. It is not required that these nonprofit organizations disclose their contributions.

Scumbags!
There should be a list published of the Congressmen/women that are involved with this criminal activity, then we need to charge them and send their good for nothing butts to prison.
We need a police force to soles monitor our polititions with complete transparency to the people, with no other power but to enforce law on the political class. The overseer would need to be elected to 1, term with no chance at re-election. Only funding for an election would need to come from the people( no big business) no more than 100 dollars per person 1 time. It is time our country to control of the political class. There are other ways but this is the most non-violent.
Try to bribe the american people and see how far you get
Explains a lot of the congressmens acts of treason!!!!! Like not, impeaching our trader in chief, Obama!!!!!

Everyone put their “SURPRISED” face on. Scum “Islamic business ” bribe congressmen and women the same way everyone else does. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. The only difference is these corrupt, felonious people have to work a little harder to HIDE the real intent of the support.
