Bachmann wrote the letter urging the president to pardon Vennes for his 1987 conviction on federal money laundering, illegal firearm sales and cocaine distribution charges. He was sentenced to five years in federal prison.
Vennes, has been a major financial contributor to Bachmann since 2005. Was Bachmanns letter in support of Vennes presidential pardon a quid pro quo for Vennes largesse? Until Bachmann releases her original letter, the motivation behind it wont be known. Bachmann chief of staff Michele Marston told Minnesota Independent Monday that Were trying to track down a copy of that letter."
Yes he is. Big deal. We'll sift through it and draw our own conclusions. Liberal crap is so easy to identify, and those associated with it are are seen as moonbats.
Well then, contact Sarah and tell her that's what she should do.
I sent Palin a check and enclosed a letter suggesting she take voice lessons.
Nope. More like this guy:
ok...lets just cut thru all the BS...I would like a clarification on this issue please
I understand that with very good reason that Romney and Rudy should he run will not be supported here in the primaries or maybe the general either by the FR brass but given what we know so far about Michelle Bachmann would she be acceptable here to support on the forum baring something pivotal that Bachmann bashers here may or may not produce
I am on record here repeatedly supporting Palin early on at Nashvile tea party 2 years ago or any other candidate who gets the culture war as I do but I also think Bachmann is on our side as well
If the leadership of the forum thinks otherwise..I would appreciate a heads up
Thank you

Romney is a democrat. Trump is playing games. Cain is generally weak. The rest have no chance against Chicago thuggery.
You’re in Fanta Se? I’d rather be in Albuquerque but that still makes me jealous.
This wouldn’t be the first time someone guessed badly on a post-sentence pardon recommendation. It was many years ago and presumably she’s smarter now.
What’s this stuff about Bachmann using House funds on a Tea Party? What’s the full story, was it an inadvertent mistake and the funds repaid when the error became apparent, or is she really going rogue squared?
The story about the fund is BS, if you read the whole original story, the ending sentence says no laws were broken. Same as the letter stuff, you know how congress works, just because a letter is sent out by staff does not mean that the congress critter even knew about it.
Mods why do we allow trolling like this on FR. If RED SOUTH is a Palin supporter it’s an embarrassment to Palin and this site.
Why don’t you spend your time sliming Obama? Instead you stay here and trash a conservative actually running for President. If your slime were true, I doubt Bachmann would be running for President.
FR needs to send you packing.
If we are no longer supposed to like Bachmann around here then we need to know about it from someone other than a twisted troll like you.
Federal money laundering, illegal firearm sales and cocaine distribution.
Wonder how many congress critters are in on that game?,no word from msm.
Bachmann needs to go back to Minnesota and study up on the issues for a few years, perhaps start with ...famous US battles and what States they took place in. Then educate herself on world affairs etc.
Then and only then can she be taken seriously as a Presidential candidate.
She is still young, I might even consider supporting her in 2020 after President Palins second term,if she can out perform the Current VP of the day? Could be Ryan, West etc, whoever Sarah finally chose as her running mate in 2012.
And a closer look at ejdrapes will show him on almost every Palin thread saying unflattering things.
Sarah did not attack MB, it was the other way around.
Mark Levin (someone whose far more intelligent on conservative issues than yourself) has a response to this pardon at the 3:something point:

Does your hypocrisy know any boundaries? You are one of the leading Palin bashers on FR. Yet you have the nerve to complain about the treatment Bachmann gets?
Clean up your own act first, troll.
You think some FR posters are being tough on Bachmann? Wait until the Dems get ahold of this stuff. Bachmann needs to address these issues instead of pretending they don't exist.
It's pretty funny - that Bachmann supporters point to House ethics standards (or lack thereof) as proof Bachmann did nothing wrong.
So tell me - do you approve of using tax monies for political events? Do you think Bachmann knew she was playing games with those monies by saying the event was a press conference when it was nothing of the sort?
I think she has employees that make silly misstates and writes checks. Sort of like letting someone else doing your twitter statements while you claim credit. That is what having a staff is all about.
A sure sign of leadership - blaming the staff. Not.
