Maine Republican Senate candidate Scott DAmboise, who is challenging sitting Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe in the upcoming 2012 primary, called on Snowe to resign from her seat immediately.
DAmboise issued a statement Tuesday morning calling on Snowe to resign after the U.S. Department of Justice joined a lawsuit against Education Management Corporation (EDMC), a company that has employed her husband, former Maine Gov. John McKernan, for the past 12 years. The suit alleges that EDMC had defrauded the government of financial aid funding.*
DAmboise said Snowe has directly benefited from her husbands financial activity, which he describes as, defrauding of taxpayers, pocketing millions of dollars millions of our hard earned tax dollars. DAmboise also said Snowe became a millionaire with our money.
Olympia Snowe owes us two things an explanation and a letter of resignation. Instead, she is in holed up in her ornate Washington, D.C. office refusing to explain what she knew and when she knew it, DAmboise said in his statement. How can your spouse bring in millions of dollars without asking him how he was making all that money? Olympia is a smart lady. She had to know something was fishy about how her husband was doing business.

It didn’t seem to bother them when Diane Feinsteins husband was making millions when she was on the Armed Service Committee.
I’d like to see Snowe gone.
The media? Of course not. Diane Feinstein is a democrat.
Scott DAmboise is a Tea Party republican.
Exactly
Feinstein is a real Democrat which means theft is just part of her nature. This ol’gal is supposed to be a Republican ~ so, yes, she should resign. Just get her out of there. We don’t need people like that.
this story has to be fake
someone married Snowe ?
really ?
for reals ?
If the GOP policed itself with a zero tolerance policy on ethics, people could no longer claim there was no difference between the parties.
How can your spouse bring in millions of dollars without asking him how he was making all that money?”
Ask Carmela Soprano,Mrs. Madoff, Dianne Feinswine, or the wife of convicted ex-congressman Cunningham. The women always get a pass.
Back along I heard a story that Snowe and her father way back when were involved in drug smuggling in a small coastal town. If true then I guess she should be honored just like the Kennedy clan has been.
“I’d Like to see Snowe Gone.”
Ain’t going to happen. If she resigns she is admitting her husbands guilt. At most she just will retire after this term, and maybe not even that.
I admire the thought though.
If DoJ is doing anything, then it is to further the Dem cause. They’re trying to get the rino out and put a real marxist in.
She’ll chair the committee to investigate, then author the legislation to make sure it never happens again.
Co-authors are Chris Dodd and Barney Frank.
Nice work if you can get it.
>>> calls on Olympia Snowe to resign
The patented Keith Olbermann “RESIGN!” ploy. aka- the “nobody’s paying any attention to me so I’ll stomp my feet” strategm.
Looks like Rino season has begun!
Good Hunting y’all
Might as well call for the Earth to start spinning in the opposite direction. Same likelihood.
Yes, and the Republican challenger making the accusation had better be careful about aligning himself to closely with the Obama Justice Dept. which may in fact have targeted this company because of its political affiliation.
