The Washington Post has a story about Steele’s campaign spending. Its not just your typical run of the mill story, the Feds are involved. You can read the story here, below are some of the interesting parts of the article.
In one of his allegations, Fabian points to a February 2007 payment by Steele's Senate campaign of more than $37,000 to Brown Sugar Unlimited, the company run by Steele's sister, Monica Turner. Campaign finance records list the expense as having been for "catering/web services." Turner filed papers to dissolve the company 11 months before the payment was received.
In a separate allegation, Fabian described the bank withdrawal. After the 2006 election, an aide transferred the funds that had been raised for Steele's lieutenant governor campaign -- more than $600,000 -- out of what had been the campaign's bank account.
The money had been raised for Steele in concert with Ehrlich (former Governor). Much of it, in fact, had been brought in by Ehrlich's team, said a senior Republican fundraiser and as well as a former Steele aide, each speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
We will see if this story has legs, but when Obama’s cabinet appointees are falling like flies from a bug zapper because of tax problems, one has to wonder if this story gains steam, if Steele will be able to hold on to the reins of the RNC.
Hold on. This info may not be reliable. It has been "leaked" by a convicted felon trying to get his sentence reduced.

ReplyDeleteI knew this had to be Obama's fault somehow.
I never said Obama had anything to do with this.
ReplyDeleteSteele’s legal issues mean that he has lost all credibility when speaking about the problems some of Obama’s nominees are having. How can he call on a guy like Tom Daschle to withdraw due to tax issues when he himself is dealing with money laundering accusations?
As for Fabian being a convicted felon, this is how our legal system works. He’s singing like a bird because it will mean a lighter punishment for himself. Plus, you do realize that this is Steele’s finance chair. The fact that Steel associated himself with such a questionable character is equally disturbing.
10:15 should not be able to come back to this blog. Ever. What a dumb ass.
ReplyDelete11:54 is in favor of squelching free speech apparently.
ReplyDeleteMust also be in favor of the "fairness doctrine" too?
12:10, would that be the same brand of "free speech" that calls everyone who does not scrape and bow in the presence of "Holy Barack" a raciest?
ReplyDeleteYou are a moron dude... Do society a favor and castrate yourself before you have a chance to propagate the species.
Korruption knows no party - it is an equal opportunity offender.
ReplyDelete12:10, you can say what you want. Just don't say it here.
ReplyDeleteWhat you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Looks like 5:25 likes to read himself in print. Pretty impressed with the guy in his mirror.
ReplyDeleteLooks like 7:05 has never seen Billy Madison.
ReplyDeleteIf Steele is removed as RNC, who takes his place? Is there a heirarchy that is followed or do we go through the whole voting process again?
