According to ABC News, Mitt's holding a fundraiser in Israel, trying to raise money from Americans like Sheldon Adelson, who happens to be under investigation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
That has to raise the eyebrows of people in government, especially the Federal Elections Committee and the Department of Justice. But this further illustrates the detachment Mitt has, and how his own party has been forced to continually resolve a growing cognitive dissonance of a man who only plays in the gray zone.
Just imagine if Barack Obama had held such an event overseas: Republicans would be howling about potential violations of the FEC laws against foreign money involvement in elections and the FCPA, and there would be hearings immediately held in Congress.
