More Obama scandals: Obama took big money from David Rubin, the man at the center of a federal probe in the Richardson “pay to play” scandal

Has ANYONE out there, however old you may be seen as many scandals for a “President Elect” before he even takes the oath of office? One of the key players in the pay-to-play scandal that claimed Bill Richardson’s nomination also donated $3,000 to Obama during election, ABC News reports this morning. David Rubin, the “payer” in the pay-for-play scandal, gave $30,000 to Team Obama during the general election:

President-elect Barack Obama took big money from a man at the center of a federal probe that has forced one of Obama’s top Cabinet picks to withdraw.

Financial records show the Obama campaign got more than $30,000 from California financier David Rubin, the target of an investigation into donations and possible “pay-to-play” deals involving New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Obama’s pick for commerce secretary. …

In late September, Rubin attended an exclusive Los Angeles fundraiser for Obama, held at the Beverly Hills’ Greystone Mansion. Attendees gave tens of thousands of dollars which the campaign split between its own coffers, the Democratic National Committee and state-level campaign groups supporting Obama and Democratic candidates. The technique helps campaigns take in from individuals far more than the $2,300 maximum they are allowed to give to a single campaign fund.

Rubin’s money went to a joint Obama-DNC fund ($28,500), the DNC itself ($26,200), and to the Obama campaign ($2,300), according to the database of campaign donations at OpenSecrets.Org. News of the federal investigation into Rubin’s New Mexico dealings had broken less than three weeks earlier.
