Lawyers for the Delaware Republican Party and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), Michael Toner and Brandis Zehr, now face a complaint before the DC Bar for false statements and a frivolous September 9, 2010, complaint against Christine O'Donnell and the Tea Party Express.
The Federal Election Commission is also being asked to update its "First General Counsel Report" with a "SECOND General Counsel Report" correcting the obvious error launched into circulation by Michael Toner and Brandis Zehr.
The rules governing attorneys in D.C., the District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct, require attorneys to take affirmative action to CORRECT false statements previously made to a "tribunal" such as the FEC.
Thus, DEGOP attorneys Toner and Zehr are violating the rules of the D.C. Bar by failing to correct the falsehood as much as by initially filing the false allegation in September. (The FEC constitutes a "tribunal" when it is formally deciding complaints about alleged violations of FEC regulations.)
On September 9, 2010, a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) was filed against Christine O'Donnell and the Tea Party Express by the Delaware Republican Party (DEGOP) -- then under different management led by Tom Ross.
The complaint against Christine O'Donnell and the Tea Party Express falsely claimed that Evan Quietsch was the Press Secretary for the O'Donnell campaign, and that -- because of that -- Evan Quietsch's frequent contacts with Tea Party Express was coordination between Friends of Christine O'Donnell and the Tea Party Express.
Tom Ross at the DEGOP obviously falsely communicated to Michael Toner and Brandis Zehr that Evan Quietsch was the "Press Secretary" for Friends of Christine O'Donnell -- when he never was. The error probably began with the DEGOP, not with their lawyers. Yet the lawyers are responsible for the contents of the complaint even if misinformed by their client.
This key allegation was and is false. Evan Quietsch was not part of Friends of Christine O'Donnell under any title or in any position until the O'Donnell campaign expanded in late September. On and before September 9, 2010, Evan Quietsch was an independent political activist who expressed his own preferences in the Mike Castle vs. Christine O'Donnell primary.
But on and before September 9, 2010, Evan Quietsch was not speaking "for" the O'Donnell campaign when talking to the Tea Party Express.
Therefore, there was no coordination by or through Evan Quietsch, because he was independent of the campaign. However, attorneys are obligated to double-check and confirm key factual allegations in official legal filings. They may not simply pass along rumor and gossip as legally-significant fact in official complaints.
Thus, even though Tom Ross (or Ross' team at the DEGOP) wrongly told the NRSC's attorneys that the "Press Secretary" for O'Donnell Evan Quietsch was talking daily to the Tea Party Express -- when Quietsch was not part of O'Donnell's formal campaign at all -- Sen. Cornyn's attorneys Toner and Zehr were required to CONFIRM if that key factual allegation was true or face.
Some are confused by the fact that independent political activists line up for one candidate or another. However, the key claim was that the official campaign for Christine O'Donnell, Friends of Christine O'Donnell, was directly and officially and formally "COORDINATING" with the Tea Party Express (Our Country Deserves Better PAC).
Therefore, Toner and Zehr's complaint to the FEC depended upon the proposition that Evan Quietsch was formally part of the O'Donnell campaign, not simply a supporter.

Sohhhh...She’s not a which?
She wasn’t part of the system and had to be stopped!
I think Christine O’Donnell may very well be a “ WHICH .”
However, as for Christine O’Donnell’s religion, she gave her heart to Jesus Christ, forsaking all other religious beliefs, 19 years ago in college. Christine has been a passionate and outspoken, publicly zealous Christine for 19 years.
Now, Barack Obama was raised as a Muslim, by his own admission. He tells about getting caught making faces in Koran class. His classmates in Indonesia talk about how devout a Muslim he was and how Barack Obama (then Barry Soetero) loved to go to Friday Muslim prayers (where Muslims in some countries are often whipped up into hate-America / hate-Israel frenzies).
So, when Barack Obama tells us he became a Christian 20 years ago, should we still call Barack Obama a Muslim?
BUMP !!!
>>>Sohhhh...She’s not a which?
If she was, Karl Rove would be sitting on a lily pad, snagging sustenance with his tongue.
Not really...the RINOs and the dems are stacked against outside parties to their little ball game they call DC politics as usual.
Until we rid the capitol of all these vermin, nothing will be safe in the Republic. Hopefully our pied piper can be the Kenyan in the White House and he takes them all out with him when he gets the heave ho in 12.
After that huge bruhaha, Tom Ross is still the DE GOP chair, no consequences whatsoever.
‘Nuff said.
Let's not forget that Cornyn was in on this as well. We will remember this pig the next time he runs for senate.
Oh yes.
You’d better believe that WE have loooooong memories....
The DEGOP wanted super-RINO, Mike Castle. Period! A "Teaparty" candidate was out of the question!
Um, no he’s not. A new DE GOP chair was elected this past Spring.
Here’s the infamous interview of then DE GOP chair Tom Ross.

Wonder if there’s any contact between these Repub Lawyers and turdblossem Rove and/or krackhead Krauthammer???
Sorry, then, for my mistake. I don’t get DE GOP update anymore.
LOL
Dat right!
Though I think he is
Barry is a Kommie Moslem
