🚨EXPOSE THIS! Obama got Mohamed Soltan out of an Egyptian life sentence on Muslim Brotherhood charges, and Soltan just maxed out donations for Abdul El-Sayed!!
Soltan is 38, Egyptian-American, and president of the American Committee for Middle East Rights.
In April 2015 a Cairo court sentenced him to life with dozens of co-defendants after the 2013 crackdown on Mohamed Morsi’s camp. Egypt listed the charges as funding and membership in the Muslim Brotherhood, plus other protest-related counts.
Rights groups called the mass trial political. Soltan has said he is not a Brotherhood member. His father, Salah Soltan, was a Brotherhood figure and served as deputy minister of endowments under Morsi.
The Obama administration pressed Egypt after Soltan’s hunger strike. He gave up his Egyptian passport and flew home in May 2015. A State Department statement welcomed the release. He has lived and donated in U.S. politics since.
FEC filings reported by The Midwesterner show Soltan of Fairfax, Virginia, made two gifts to Abdul for U.S. Senate on April 15 that hit the $7,000 individual cap.
ACMER then sent $25,000 on June 12 to Fighting for Michigan PAC, the super PAC built to elect El-Sayed. Treasurer Muna Jondy put $15,000 into that same PAC and $7,000 straight into the campaign.
Executive Director Kristina Blyad gave $1,000. MERIT PAC, which she also treasurers, added $1,500.
El-Sayed is the Democratic nominee in Michigan against former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers. He is running to be the first Muslim in the U.S. Senate.
The Brotherhood is banned as a terr*orist group in Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. That is the network Soltan’s father served, the network Egypt says Soltan funded, and the network now sitting in FEC line items next to a man who would get a classified brief.
