She was investigated earlier by the IRS at the instigation of none other than Joe Biden—and no doubt Beau Biden, his corrupt son.

The IRS investigation found nothing other than some slight adjustments, which is par for the course, and which she paid.

Then, somehow or other, they mistakenly accused her of cheating on her taxes after everything had been settled. That was subsequently cleared up, the IRS admitted its “mistake,” but the damage was done, since naturally the Bidens and their minions brought in the news media. And, as we have seen, the crooked Republican establishment that works closely with the Democrats in Delaware.

Financial problems? No doubt. Most of us have them. Is that a crime?

If the allegations are true, she would not be the first candidate to play fast and loose with people’s donations - Charlie Rangel and Ron Paul have made that an art form and they’re not going anywhere. Also CREW is pretty easy to tie to the DNC and therefore to the Coons campaign. Finally, there are only 7 weeks left - I doubt they’ll have time to prepare an indictment. And the campaign finance rules still have plenty of loopholes.

She is incredibly photogenic but, from what dribs and drabs I’ve been hearing, she appears to be a bit...um...eccentric, to say the least.

From wikipedia:

Donors to CREW include such liberal groups as George Soros’ Open Society Institute, Democracy Alliance, Service Employees International Union, the Arca Foundation, and the Gill Foundation.

Enough said.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but did she get the 6 million she sought in the wrongful termination/emotional stress claim?

Or is that gig still on-going?

"I love how progressives name their organizations. The names are always so supportive of good, clean living. For example, the outfit claiming Christine O’Donnell is a bad person is CREW, which stands for “Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.” Oh, just hug me, CREW! Thank you soooo much for being there! It turns out that CREW is just another in a long line of libscum outfits that mislead the public with their cute names. "

The Washington Post has variously described CREW as a “liberal watchdog group”,[2] “nonprofit watchdog group”,[3] “advocacy group”,[4] and “nonpartisan watchdog group”.[5] Roll Call reported in January 2008 that CREW files most of its complaints against members of Congress, and “all but a handful... have targeted Republicans”.

If the WaPo calls someone or something liberal, you can bet your bottom dollar that’s the case. Same thing they did with Palin.

It’s pretty clear that our opponents are slinging all the brown stuff they can lay their hands on. This is the place where Repubics typically tuck tail and vanish.

Let’s see how this opening salvo is handled by our side this time.

And oh by the way, how many millions in back taxes do White House staffers owe? CREW - most likely brought to you by the billionaire Marxist George Soros.

Oh, and she is also one of the attorneys representing Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame in the suit against former Bush Administration officials in the Plame leak case.

"41 Obama White House aides owe the IRS $831,000 in back taxes -- and they're not alone."And they want to investigate Christine O'Donnell?

O’Donnell hasn’t been found guilty. She isn’t on trial.

“WTH are you talking about? Late night?”

You responded to my post, then ask, “WTH are you talking about? Late night?”?

You’re a noob, and may be a troll.

Every candidate.....at least the conservative ones....will be investigated by the msm. Or rather, the msm will arrange to have them investigated.

And to tell the truth....they better come up clean - legally clean.

Apparently, the conservatives don't have the power to call for such investigations of liberal candidates and/or office holders.

And even when they do....and they find at the least "stink" and sometimes more....the perp is given a free bill of health by the msm. Wasn't there just such a case involving the old squeeze box from NY??

Close. Here’s a link the the ‘CREW Crew’—and all affiliations are on the rabidly Democrat side, coming out of Conyers’ office, Clinton’s civil rights division of the DoJ, Gore’s environmentalist organization, Democrat campaign consulting, etc.:

She dropped the $6.9mm suit in 2008 after 5 years of litigation. But she has collected more than a million dollars this week, so after 7 years of unemployment things are finally going her way.
