Campaign financial disclosure week is always fun. Just look what we've found out about Republican front-runner Mitt Romney. A
full 25 percent of his campaign funds comes from just 41 obscenely wealthy people. Just 58 donors gave more than $14.8 million to the Super PAC that is supporting (though certainly now coordinating with) him.
But check out what Think Progress found in the disclosures: one Ignacio E. Sanchez, a lobbyist and a major bundler for Romney, who "raked in $86,700 for the former Massachusetts governor."
A ThinkProgress review of public records reveals Sanchez is also a registered foreign agent representing the interests of the United Arab Emirates and a former president of the Dominican Republic. [...]
A form filed Monday with the U.S. Department of Justice reveals that beyond just representing the interests of those domestic clients, Sanchez also represents the embassy of the United Arab Emirates and the presidential campaign of Dominican Republic former president Hipolito Mejia.
He's also represented the governments of Turkey and Ethiopia, and currently lobbies for "Diageo North America, the makers of Guinness, Jose Cuervo, Captain Morgan, and dozens of other alcoholic beverages," among other corporate clients. (I wonder what the Mormon Church thinks about that?)
Yeah, yeah, IOKIYAAR. But between this and the Swiss and Cayman Island bank accounts, don't expect to be hearing the USA! USA! chants at Romney rallies.
