Complaint Filed Over State GOP Finances (MN)
Star Tribune ^ | 7/16/07 | Dan Browning

A watchdog group wants a federal examination of financial reporting. But the party says it's an attack by a "Franken flunky."

A Washington-based government-watchdog organization filed a federal complaint Monday against the Minnesota Republican Party and its former treasurer alleging "multiple, egregious violations" of campaign reporting laws and regulations. The complaint by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) will compel the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) to investigate, said Melanie Sloan, executive director of the nonprofit group.

CREW's complaint was based on a confidential memorandum written in February to the state party's executive committee by its former finance director, Dwight Tostenson. The memo was made public by the Star Tribune on June 3.

CREW - George Soros group, very liberal and Melanie Sloan is the lawyer for Valerie Plame.

Since Soros owns the DINOcrap party, I suppose he’d do anything to win.

Crew is the dnc front group that set up the Foley scam with Conyers and the DNC and the left wig gay group HRC.
Crew head was Conyers former top aide.

I also want to know if there was accounting problems at the MNGOP. I am not a Soros hack nor a C.R.E.W. fan.

I don’t think there was any talk of that.......

Didn’t we meet briefly, back in April, on some concrete steps in front of a real big building, in St. Paul??

Yes, yes we did meet there.

I'm was just saying that there should be a investigation of the financials of the MNGOP. I don't care who is making the requests.
