Another Crook Batters GOP Hopes in US House
As if the Republicans don’t already have enough problems, the Republican National Congressional Committee treasurer ran off at the end of January with an as-yet-undetermined amount of the committee’s money. He has been handling the RNCC’s money since 2003, and in all that time, all of the annual audits of the RNCC’s finances have been purely imaginary. To make matters worse, he was also serving as the treasurer for the campaigns of any number of Republican Congressmen. And then there’s the matter that Republicans have covered up their treasurer’s crime spree for over a month. You have to wonder what impact this will have on donors, that past campaign donations may have gone to finance the early retirement of one crooked staffer. The RNCC is already being out-fundraised by the Democrats for the first time in history. This probably won’t help matters.
