Naime, Karic je na crnoj listi SAD vec dugo vremena zbog otvorene podrske i tala sa Milosevicem. Lobisticka firma kcerke kongresmena Weldona je dobila lovu od Karica da mu pomogne da popravi svoj imidz u SAD i da mu se "skinu" sankcije.
Jasno lobiranje ovakve vrste nije ilegalno, ali je ilegalno da je kongresmen na osnovu svog polozaja kcerki potencijalno namjestao ovakve poslove i onda ih izvrsavao zajedno sa njom. Zato je trenutno pod istragom FBI.
Dok je Dodik dao bijednih $7,000/mjesecno nekim malim anonimusima lobistima, ovdje je Karic dao $20,000/mjesecno i to za mnogo manje stvari nego sto Dodik hoce.
Cisto za ilustraciju firme kad hoce da lobiraju za interese odredjene i daju do $100,000 mjesecno za lobiranje.

Officials at the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade were surprised three years ago to be invited to a luncheon in honor of visiting Rep. Curt Weldon (R-Pa.), hosted by Bogoljub Karic, a wealthy Serbian businessman who had been barred from visiting or trading with the United States because of his close ties to former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic.
Weldon "was visiting solely because of Karic," whom he was trying to get off the U.S. blacklist, a former senior embassy official familiar with the visit concluded. "It seemed odd" at the time, because Karic had no obvious tie to Weldon's district outside Philadelphia, and Weldon should have known the embassy was shunning contacts with him, the official said.
What the embassy apparently did not know is that the Karic family that year signed a contract with Weldon's daughter, Karen, and a business partner that called for monthly payments of $20,000 for "management, government and public relations," according to a copy of the March 2003 contract. In all, the family paid Karen Weldon's firm $133,858 that year for efforts she undertook to set up a foundation for it.
Curt Weldon's visit and that deal are under investigation by the FBI, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the probe. His efforts to assist clients of his daughter's consulting firm in their dealings with the federal government are the focus of that probe, according to sources familiar with it .
FBI raids of six locations in Pennsylvania and Florida on Monday, including one of Karen Weldon's home and another of her consulting and lobbying firm, were part of the bureau's search for evidence of whether the lawmaker used his influence to benefit himself or his daughter's firm, according to the sources. They spoke on the condition that they not be named because of the sensitivity of the investigation.
