Last minute surprise: North Carolina investigating Kay Hagan over ‘conflict of interest’
Hotair ^ | 11/03/14 | Noah Rothman

Posted on 11/03/2014 5:37:06 PM PST by Libloather

For about 20 minutes just after midnight on Sunday morning, The Charlotte Observer published a story detailing the apparent conflict of interest which could represent a violation of ethics by embattled Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC).

The story revealed the details of an investigation into Hagan’s family, which received hundreds of thousands of dollars in stimulus grants – grants which Hagan voted for as a member of the U.S. Senate. The story was the first time that the state’s largest paper, The Observer, had informed their readers of the nascent controversy, but Tar Heel residents had to read it fast. The story was quickly pulled by The Observer. An editor with that publication insisted that their story was based on a memo obtained by the CBS affiliate WBTV which had pulled their bombshell dispatch, forcing The Observer to do the same.

The state’s papers may not be able to ignore the story involving the Hagan family’s alleged ethics violations for much longer. According to a report via a local Fox affiliate, the state of North Carolina is going to launch an investigation into Hagan’s family to determine if they benefited from the senator’s conflict of interest.

One of her very own TV spots said that she was given the a-okay by some lawyer. Uh, oh.

Just a fraction of the money Senator Obama earmarked for the hospital that employed his wife, which converted most of the cash into a much higher salary for Michelle for a make-work job.

North Carolina voters, “ALL”...........You can change American history in the positive tomorrow, if you all come out and vote on election day, Tuesday, November 4, 2014 against every single “Obamabot”, Democrat Party candidate listed on the ballot in North Carolina....thus, destroying the entire “Obamabot”, Democrat Party, politically, in NC, starting with “Obamabot” Kay Hagan!!!

A massive defeat of Kay Hagan will be the signal needed to trigger a massive political defeat for all Obamabot Democrats across the entire country!!! So.....Turnout, Turnout and more Turnout and destroy the Obama, Democrat Party across the entire land...saving our great and beautiful country in the process.

How convenient CBS pulls this story immediately but had no qualms keeping the Bush war memorial pumping 24/7. Media are scum...akin to the actors during medieval times. The lowest form of existence
