Mark Deli Siljander, a Michigan Republican when he was in the House, was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about lobbying senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to terrorists.
A 42-count indictment, unsealed in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Mo., accuses the Islamic American Relief Agency of paying Siljander $50,000 for the lobbying — money that turned out to be stolen from the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Siljander, who served in the House from 1981-1987, was appointed by President Reagan to serve as a U.S. delegate to the United Nations for one year in 1987.
He could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday. His attorney in Kansas City, J.R. Hobbs, had no immediate comment.
Si va spune voua Moshe, tineti minte stirea asta, ca voi veni cu completari despre vizitele de lucru facute de Siljander impreuna cu sotia in Romania anilor `80, precum si cu privire la sejurul intern aranjat de raposatul pitic de la Scornicesti aceluiasi Congressman. Aveam lobby, mai….
Pai, nu ne miram, raposatu’ pitic a avut lobby nu gluma. Organili lucrau serios, nu se piedea timpul rontaind toata ziua la o biata mapa profesionala. „Oamenii noi” puneau umarul tovarasheste la incalzitu Razboiului Rece. Piticu’ era geostrateg, se facea ca lucra cu Moscova, cind de fapt le face lipeala la chineji si americani. Da zdrastvuiet mir mejdu narodami!
Da. Si rabbi spune asa, ca cel mai mare barbat de stat la romani a fost unu’ mic si balbait. Da’ n-are dreptate.
