A progressive political watchdog group wants Congress and the Federal Election Commission to investigate alleged ties between Las Vegas Sands Corp. Chairman Sheldon Adelson and reputed Chinese organized crime figures.

A spokesman for Las Vegas Sands immediately dismissed the initiative by the Washington D.C.-based Campaign for Accountability as an "obvious political propaganda stunt" aimed at Adelson, who a prolific financial contributor to Republican candidates and conservative causes.

The group asked the chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the Federal Election Commission to investigate whether foreign money is illegally fueling campaign contributions to American politicians.

Anne Weismann, the Campaign for Accountability's executive director, said in a statement that "federal authorities have long been concerned about the reach of the tentacles of Chinese organized crime." The organization pieced together almost 500 pages of documents — including internal Las Vegas Sands documents — court filings and news reports, describing relationships between Las Vegas Sands and junket businesses operated by alleged organized crime members.

1. The FEC for all intents and puropses, does not exist.

There are two Dems and two pukes on the panel. The two Repukes refuse to meet. Not even for lunch! This renders the FEC moot, ergo, there is no inforcement of federal election law in this country which means that anything goes. If laws are not enforced they don't exist so the treason party can do anything they want with impunity.

2. Long time coming. Needs to happen. But will take a long, long, long time.

Eventually we will find the truth, whatever that may be.

Good luck to the investigators.
