Who is Sobhani Anyway?

Rob Sobhani seemingly came out of nowhere to run for U. S. Senate in Maryland. Self-funded from a "windfall", he has spend millions on television ads.

Do not be fooled by Rob Sobhani.  Many of us were fooled by Barack Hussien Obama 4 years ago and are now seeing the result of voting without knowing who the person is. 

Sobhani came into a "windfall" of money and decided to run for office instead of "buying another home".  

He paid a marketing firm to collect enough signatures on a petition to put his name on the ballot in Maryland, then paid (out of his own pocket, mind you) for television ads, signs that have been put up all along the public roadways.  He obviously doesn't care that State Highways will come take them down since he has many more where those came from... and the paid company to put them back.

He has paid for the robocalls which don't meet the legal requirements... all out of his own pocket.

This is one scary dude.  Question the character of someone who already doesn't follow the rules before he gets into a position of power.

Bongino Campaign Files Complaint with the FEC Regarding an Apparent Illegal Robocall Made by Sobhani.

Severna Park, MD - Bongino for Senate is in the process of filing a complaint with the Federal Election Commission regarding the apparent illegal automated phone call (robocall) placed by Rob Sobhani to hundreds of thousands of Marylanders on the evening of November 4th. 

"Faced with collapsing poll numbers despite spending his personal fortune, Rob Sobhani decided to continue his campaign of deceit by brazenly violating the law," said Sharon Strine, deputy campaign manager of Bongino for Senate. "There was clearly a misleading automated phone call, meant to confuse Marylanders, placed without the authority or disclaimer line as federal law requires, in an apparent attempt to hide its origins." 

Under Federal Election Commission regulations, all public communications--including robocalls--that are paid for by a federal candidate's campaign must include a disclaimer indicating that the call was paid for by the campaign so as not to mislead the public.  The robocalls also do not comply with Federal Communications Commission disclaimer rules, which require that a robocall include at the beginning the identity of the entity that initiated the call.  In addition, during or after the message, the telephone number or address of the entity is to be mentioned as well.   

Mr. Sobhani's message fails to fulfill either of these requirements.  The message can be heard by clicking here.  

"We should not be surprised, since Mr. Sobhani already willingly and knowingly gave over $300,000 to a firm with a long history of fraudulent and criminal activities," continued Sharon Strine. "Sobhani's campaign of lies and deceit appears to know no bounds, either legal or illegal."
