Bad Luck for Andrew Breitbart’s NEA Scandal

The basic information has been around for a couple of weeks that the NEA was involved in a conference call with various arts groups urging them to get on board the Obamaganda bandwagon. Today, Big Hollywood, Big Government and Power Line explain the ins and outs, which involve White House collusion, lies, violations of the Hatch Act, and general marching orders given to recipients of NEA largess, generally.

It was going to be a difficult matter for this to hold up to the standards set by last weeks series of video on ACORN, in part because it was accompanied by no video, and in part because it would be difficult to explain to a casual audience the linkages involved, and in part because everybody's aware already that the NEA is a hopelessly corrupt secular humanist bastion of dumb. Now, though, Breitbart's project is put in the shadow by the looming colossus of this scandal:

Hassan Nemazee, a fund-raiser for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, has been indicted for defrauding Bank of America, HSBC and Citigroup Inc out of more than $290 million in loan proceeds, U.S. prosecutors said on Monday.

The announcement follows last month's indictment of Nemazee, head of a private equity firm and an Iranian American Political Action Committee board member, on one count of defrauding Citigroup's Citibank.

The new indictment adds allegations that he defrauded two other banks, Bank of America and HSBC Bank USA, in a similar fashion by falsifying documents and signatures to purportedly show he had hundreds of millions worth of collateral.

The office of the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan and the FBI said he used the proceeds of his scheme to make donations to election campaigns of federal, state and local candidates, donations to political action committees and charities.

(h/t Insty) Just, you know . . . wow.
