Hard to believe this is true. The sources are anonymous.

Exactly. Funny how it took 23 posts to get to this simple fact.

A lot of knee jerks out there who can't smell a set up. I'm not a big fan of Steele since the dust up with Rush (although he did do a mea culpa afterward). The bigger thing in play that eludes all his present detractors on this thread is that this is little more than a bold attempt being made by a mole in the organization to depress GOP turn out and fund raising.

If I were to lay a guess on who's behind it I'd say it's probably Roger Stone.

I'd strongly doubt the BDSM stuff, until it's solidly proven otherwise. People are crucifying Steele on hear- say.

Very poor forensic debating style.

FReegards!

Read further, it's in the FEC report as a listed expense. Not from Steele, but from a direct mail / Young Republican guy named Erik Brown who Twitted from a Redskins game that he was hanging with Steele - Post 168, the account is now deleted (I did see it when the link was originally posted).

Oops, the story is true. Steele was never at the club, but a California GOP Consultant to Devore and the Poizner did bill the RNC for the charge, and the RNC approved it.

Can’t pin this on Steele exactly, but he must be running a loose ship there. If there hadn’t been a stripper and s&m there, it is a matter of course that RNC reimburses them.

Steele took the whole RNC to a nice vacation in Hawaii, while the Republican Congressmen were holed up in Baltimore for a vacation “retreat”.

The consultant was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and he has generously agreed to drop the cookies back into the jar . . presumably they will be there for another day.
