Romney camp, super PAC share high-level aides
The Washington Times ^ | February 27, 2012 | Luke Rosiak

Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign and the super PAC accepting million-dollar contributions to support him are barred by law from coordinating, yet they share many of the same top-level workers, a fact both groups have helped mask by paying high-level aides through companies that appear to exist largely as conduits to avoid disclosure.

Months before a top Romney aide, Steve C. Roche, stopped working for the campaign, a company controlled by Mr. Roche was established and has since been paid $2 million by the super PAC, with a million-dollar check coming just three days after the last money publicly disbursed to him by the campaign, a Washington Times review of campaign expenditure records showed.

Another consulting firm has done hundreds of thousands of dollars of work for both the campaign and the super PAC, with the most recent payment from the campaign coming the same day as the first from the super PAC. Still other companies, some doing work for the campaign and others for the PAC, are based at the same address.

Santorum and Gingrich need to get on this prontissimo. (We know Dr. Paul won’t because of his alliance with Mittens.)

Books and movies will be made of Willard’s failed campaign.

If Mitt weighs the same as a duck, it means he's made out of wood.

Mittski is looking more evil and sneaky than the guy in the White House, and THAT’S sayin’ something.

This is how he made his millions in business takeovers.

We will not like what we find if Mitt gets the nom and gets elected.

I suppose Mittens will say they are using Non Disclosure Agreements.

Is this a reliable source. If so, who files the complaint? What are the consequences for the actions described?
