People give politicians illegal donations all the time. Just last election GOP candidate and walking mummy, Gramps McCain, sent back $50,000 after it was found to be linked to foreign donors, who can't legally contribute to American political campaigns--at least couldn't then; to top it all off, they can't be reimbursed for the expenditure.
But when Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana got $4,800 from Jeffrey Ogbe, who was then reimbursed by a dry-cleaning business hoping to get favorable treatment from Vitter, he didn't send it back.
With thanks to the New Orleans Times-Picayune and TPM Muckraker.
