I wish these refunds had to go to the other party’s campaign fund. I’m sick of hearing that “I didn’t know my campaign bought that” or “I didn’t know that Mr X donated anything”.
Ok, your explanation’s fine and you don’t need to admit guilt. Now give 10X the amount to your opposition in the election (or to the other party general fund if you aren’t running this year) and we can move on.
Reid’s a millionaire, he could have bought these things with his own money but just couldn’t resist using campaign money. The smallness of these weasels never fails to surprise.
