8. District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis of San Diego was funded by a foreign criminal

Sun Sep 7, 2014, 10:56 AM

Sep 2014

She received massive campaign funding from a Mexican drug lord, and wrote a letter of recommendation for his son. Claims she did not know he was contributing to her campaign, and gave the money back to him. Was re-elected by a large majority.

The point is that American voters don't care about campaign funding. Koch brothers, Soros, criminals, major corporations... They ignore it and vote for whoever makes the most empty promises.
