An Indictment
An interesting bit of news hit the wire on Wednesday. Via DOJ, one Imaad Zuberi, a 49-year-old resident of Arcadia, California, agreed to plead guilty to a variety of illegal activities surrounding campaign contributions, political influence, and unregistered lobbying on behalf of foreign clients.
Zuberi has agreed to plead guilty to those charges at a later date, pursuant to a plea agreement. This kind of language in a charging situation normally indicates that the felon has agreed to help out with other cases. His sentencing recommendation will depend on how truthful and helpful he is to prosecutors at the DOJ.
Just who was he raising money for? And how much?
