<p>GOP fraud … the FBI is investigating </p>

<p>“GOP leaders are being tight-lipped in large part because the FBI is investigating the matter. An outside lawyer advising members and staff has warned everyone at the committee to keep quiet.”</p>

<p>“Bill Clinton is responsible”</p>

<p>Not true… Hillary did it and Bill is just covering for her…</p>

<p>As an Independent, these daily blogs about the GOP sure make me want to vote Democratic… :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Have the Clintons ever been accused of fraud and deception? :confused:</p>

<p>(WHITEWATER, WHITEWATER, WHITEWATER, WHITEWATER…)</p>

<p>Just so you don’t have to read the “journalism” referenced, the NRCC has hired an outside auditor to review its accounting practices. The only smoking gun in the article is quoted here in its entirety: “The FBI, which was informed about the matter last week, did not respond to calls for comment.” No mention of who informed the FBI, that an investigation was ongoing, or that anything criminal was being investigated. The Federal Elections Commission is frequently mentioned in the “article,” but not a word that the FEC is investigating the NRCC.</p>

<p>Hey, the Republicans might all be a bunch of crooks, but I suggest that real journalism requires a considerably higher standard of proof than this. After all, my company hires an outside auditor to review its accounting practices every year, and this is not evidence of criminal behavior.</p>

<p>I know that “tommybill” lives to find obscure little hit pieces on the Republicans, but this is stooping lower than normal. If the RNCC is so evil I’m sure he can find more substantial stories than this.</p>

<p>The Republican Party leadership is moving fast to clear up this scandal in their own back lard and should be congratulated by everyone for their efforts.</p>

<p>“Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas), a certified public accountant, had pushed for months for an internal audit of the National Republican Congressional Committee, according to GOP members, but the committee’s treasurer at the time was reluctant. </p>

<p>Finally, at a recent meeting, the now former NRCC treasurer, Christopher J. Ward, relented, giving Conaway what was supposed to be an official internal audit from 2006. That document was a fake, the GOP members said. Even the letterhead on which it was sent was a forgery. </p>

<p>Revelations about the falsified document touched off an unfolding scandal that has rocked the NRCC and spurred a criminal investigation by the FBI into the committee’s accounting procedures.”</p>
