RNC Chairman Steele Under Federal Probe For 2006 Campaign
Tweet
Bwahahahaha. Same old, same old.
Federal authorities are examining whether Michael S. Steele, the newly elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, violated any laws in his handling of money raised for his 2006 Senate race and an earlier campaign.
The inquiry, which in recent days led federal agents to approach Steele’s sister, stems from accusations last year by the finance chairman for Steele’s failed Senate bid. Among the allegations was that Steele paid a defunct company run by his sister for campaign services that were never performed.
But remember he likes puppies.

An accusation from a former campaign worker seeking leniency for his own fraud conviction. Yeah, I’m sure he’s going to make a great witness.
See now if this same person had leveled some kind of charge against a DEMOCRAT, you’d be joining in the choruses of calling him a lying liar that lies. But because he’s accusing Steele, he must be telling the truth.
It’s not like the 2006 Steele campaign wasn’t shady to begin with or anything, right? Oh, wait.
Puppies … Bw …Bwah … BwahahahahahaHHHAAAHAHAHAAAAAAA
Hey Jay… this is more stuff than they had on Blago and he was shunned and impeached…
Daschle and the other woman got shown the door….
So, you sure you want to make that statement again?
Dacshle WHO?!
I’m surprised Oliver has no story about him firing the entire RNC staff the other day.

Looks like the token is headed for a fall. Oh wait, I forgot, Repukes are allowed to be thieves and liars (it’s in their DNA)so we can’t criticize them.
That’s a badge of honor to them.
The amusing part of all of this is how Rethugs whine and cry like retarded brats when they get back what they give.
Cowards all!
Stay on it, Oliver. Stay on it.

I can’t help but think that’s probably one of Steele’s better ideas. The thing is that as big as Steele’s weaknesses are, he was still the strongest RNC chair candidate compared with his competition.
Yeah, that’s probably true.
Still, I bet it got the David Duke factions in a snit.

Did you read his release? I remember something about ‘GOP Traitors’. I love it.

Except that Steele said he was a democrat in his 2006 campaign.

It’s called a plea bargain, ever heard of it?
“The U.S. attorney’s office inadvertently sent the confidential document, a defense sentencing memorandum filed under seal, to The Washington Post after the newspaper requested the prosecution’s sentencing memorandum.”
Inadvertently sending a sealed document to the Post? Yeah right.
Inadvertently sending a sealed document to the Post? Yeah right. william
Wonder if they threw some Oreo cookies in the envelope, too, william.
Steele Hit Job
Thinks never change with Democrats, even when they swear they’ll Change.
That’s right Dennis. Thee were swarms of Oreos, SWARRRMS LIKE LOCUSTS!11!1!
Stay stupid.
The Republican Messiah… no so much?
“Stay stupid.”
Oh, I wouldn’t worry about that.
Wonder if they threw some Oreo cookies in the envelope, too, william.
This is why I love the appointment of Steele to this high profile position. There are so many b.s. stories around the guy.
Dennis: The US attorney in question is a Bush appointee, so….
Loiver-
My previous statement was ‘Wonder if they threw some Oreo cookies in the envelope’. I didn’t say ‘swarms of Oreos’. I didn’t say ‘he was pelted with Oreo cookies’. I didn’t say ‘it was raining Oreo cookies’.
Pretty much a fact of the matter, or at least no evidence to the contrary, is that there were Oreo cookies there, and Steele said he saw them. And my guess is Steele has been called an Oreo cookie more times than he cares to remember. So why were Oreo cookies even at the debate? I know why. You know why. And I don’t think they got there because some of his supporters brought them there. Or is that Boehlert’s and Foser’s theory.
Inconsistencies in a large crowd of people. Shocking, I’ve never heard of that before. Good thing everyone in Dealey Plaza all corroborated what they saw back in November 1963, or who knows what wacky conspiracy theories might have ensued if we they hadn’t.
Gee, just like the ’04 Dem convention we even have video of that day too, don’t we? No need to get more information when we saw it with our own eyes on the video tape.
Your buddies are a regular Sherlock Holmes and John Watson investigative team.
Didn’t mean to misspell your name there, sorry about that.
Dennis: “…or at least no evidence to the contrary…”
If you don’t see the problem with this, don’t bother responding.
