Foreign Money in US Politics

In a Reuters story two days ago, the name Bilal Shehu pops up in conjunction with a Justice Department plea agreement.  He pled guilty to supplying $80,000 from a foreign source to the Obama campaign of 2012.  Reuters attempts to link this to Albania this way:  "But the case came after a Republican congressman in 2013 called for investigations into the purchases by Shehu's family of two $40,000 tickets for a San Francisco fundraiser, one of which was used by now-Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.

At the October 2012 event, Rama, the Albanian Socialist Party leader, was photographed with Obama."  [http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-crime-election-idUSKCN0ZF2S6]. 

We have the same sort of sorid dealings here in Virginia with a Chinese national giving money to the governor and the Clinton Campaign.  Someone in that case made sure the donation was "legal" by making the Chinese national a resident alien.  How a person gets this status when he is a businessman from China, who served at the highest levels of government in China, is a mystery deserving of a criminal investigation.
