Jack Abramoff, present jailbird, was convicted of all sorts of crooked schemes. One of his favorites was to funnel money through various organizations into the hands of other people.
It appears Dede Scozzafava is funneling RNC, NRCC, and donor dollars through her campaign account to her family.
Dede Scozzafava is or was until recently the Chief Operating Officer of her brothers company.
Her companys key subsidiaries have accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars in state and federal tax liens. As of July 13, 2009 or less than a week ago three of Dedes businesses have $192,000 in outstanding liens.
Dedes brother is Thomas W. Scozzafava and he is married to Pearl Han Ashcraft.
Dede Scozzafavas campaign has paid $3750.00 in disclosed expenses to Pearl Han Productions, LLC for Strategic Consulting, the most bland of descriptions.
Heres where it gets interesting.
Given the campaigns propensity to file false police reports against reporters, I have no doubt this was intentionally designed to obfuscate what is going on.
On Scozzafavas disclosures, Pearl Han Productions, LLC is located at 2001 S.E. Sailfish Pt. Blvd. #112, Stuard, NY 34996. There is just one problem. No such place exists.
What does exist, however, is 2001 S.E. Sailfish Pt. Blvd. #112, Stuart, FL 34996, a beautiful ocean front condo.
At that address, youll find Pearl Han Productions, LLC, incorporated in the State of Florida. (PDF). The person in charge is Pearl Ashcraft, Dedes sister-in-law.
And if you think all that is too much of a coincidence, or maybe you think the campaign disclosure had just an innocent typo as to the address, consider this fact: Pearl Han Productions, LLC was not incorporated in the State of Florida until after the New York Republican Party made Dede Scozzafava its nominee.
Scozzafava was chosen on August 19, 2009, and eight days later on August 27, 2009, Pearl Han Productions, LLC was filed with the Secretary of State and reviewed a day later by that office.
Scozzafava doesnt look to be just an ACORN candidate, but also more and more looks like an Abramoff Republican.
Good, you are on your way to an exciting new career at McDonalds.
Scozzafava is now a dead duck.
She needs to go ahead and step aside. The voices are growing.
Your donations at work.
Awesome. Keep digging til she is forced out of the race, or no-one votes for her.
Was Newt available for comment?
Idiot.
No more RINOS!
I hope in light of everything, the NRA withdraws their endorsement.
How much money has she paid Newt for "consulting" through some front group?
Maybe he'll Quadruple Down now.
Good one, Maggie!
With Republicans like these.... who needs Democrats?
Newt’s choice.
What BS.
bttt....
I used to like Newt.
Now I consider him to be an ass clown.
“No such thing. Abramoff was a Democrat lobbyist. The only connection the media could make between Abramoff and the GOP was a photo where Bush was walking about 15 feet ahead of Abramoff after getting off AF1. (Abramoff was not on the plane.) “

Boy, did you drink the Kool aid! This is why the GOP can’t rid itself of corruption. Abramoff was a top fundraiser for Bush, and on his transition team, picking people for his Interior dept. and MUCH more. Also good friend of Rove and Grover Norquist, who wrote Bush Policy. There was more than one photo.

“I know Jack Abramoff,” Gillespie replied. He mentioned the other lobbyist and insisted: “They are Republicans; they were Republicans before they were lobbyists. . . . I think they want to see a Republican reelected in the White House in 2004 more than anything.......After the 2000 election, Abramoff was named to the Bush transition team for the Interior Department, which regulates the Indian casinos that paid Abramoff his inflated fees.
“What the Republicans need is 50 Jack Abramoffs,” his friend Grover Norquist told National Journal in 1995. “Then this becomes a different town.” Norquist got his different town. “

Newt jumped the shark long ago. his latest actions just reinforce that he is a joke and fraud. He’s brilliant, but as slimy as they come.
Fact, Abramhoff PACS gave 58% to Democrats 42% to Republicans according to Open Secrets, a non partisan watch dog. So how about you actually learn the facts instead of pimping Leftist propaganda?
