BALTIMORE (AP) -- A person with knowledge of a federal campaign-finance investigation says a criminal probe has been opened into whether Delaware Republican Christine O'Donnell broke the law by using campaign money to pay personal expenses.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity to protect the identity of a client who has been questioned in the probe.

She dared challenge the oligarchy, and must be made an example.

Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Sounds like they’re on a Witch Hunt..... :-)

[Paladin2]

I’ve seen pictures of COD -—> Not Guilty.

Sounds like they’re on a Witch Hunt..... :-)

[Rca2000]

Of course that law only applies to CONSERVATIVES, as we all know.....

[napscoordinator]

If she did that, then she has some splainin to do. Let’s hope that she is truly a Christian, conservative person who is not a immoral unethical person. I don’t think she is, but if she is paying her lifestyle with campaign money, she could be in trouble. She is innocent until proven guilty.....keep that in mind folks.

[Sybeck1]

How true.

[Aria]

Meanwhile John Edwards is still on the loose.

And of course Obama NEVER spent campaign donations on personal expenses, did he?

[Celtic Cross]

You mean the new $$.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I think O’Donnell was a flawed candidate on many levels but my gut tells me that this is an Obama witch hunt.

[Gaffer]

So I guess John Edwards boning his campaign videographer with champagne, hotel suites and all the trimmings probably paid for by his campaign wasn't actionable in their eyes.....

One day we will come to get you all - enjoy your power now while you have it, Government!

[Scythian]

I'm innocent I tell you, I did not alter her financial records, let go of me dammit! I am the establishment King Maker, I say who gets to run for office, and who to investigate afterwards ...

[Truth29]

Clearly she needed to have Charlie Rangel as a campaign adviser.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Yes please do follow your own advice

[Spok]

All of the considerable resources of the federal government are at the beck and call of Dear Leader to visit havoc upon those who oppose or anger him, and he uses them with impunity.

[Constitution Day]

Guess it's time to break out the ducking stool...

It's an unsourced AP article.

May be the "fibbies" are tracking down the source of the rumor. They do that sometimes when it involves a federal office, to wit, SENATE. It's pretty easy for misguided evil doers to break federal campaign laws that concern the civil rights of the candidates to run.

I know there's this puke in California who's in real trouble when Sarah wins ~ he hanged her in effigy when she was running for VP. George Bush wouldn't protect her. Obama is not protecting her. But she's a big girl and may well handle it herself.

That puke should watch the show ~ he'd see how she handles halibut, and that poor moose ~ I saw her carving stuff with an ULU and he sure wouldn't like that.

At the moment it's speculation regarding Ms. O'Donnell ~ besides federal law says Senate candidates can spend campaign money on personal expenses.

[Cicero]

I doubt whether there is a politician out there who couldn’t be hung up on a technicality on this one. Campaign expenses, personal expenses, not the easiest thing to keep straight in a busy year. And not the easiest thing to keep track of what all your aids and assistants are doing.

In other words, good place to have a witch hunt.

By the way, did they ever return that money donated to Obama by Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck? Not to speak of all those Arab Sheikhs and Communist money-launderers.
