Documents uncovered by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel showed that a firm run by chain smoking Cain chief-of-staff Mark Block had helped get the former Godfathers Pizza CEOs presidential run off the ground by donating iPads, chartered flights and travel to Iowa to the campaign all of which would be considered illegal in-kind donations.
The charges came at a convenient time for Cain the media was mostly focused on the sexual harassment charges so they mostly managed to brush off the issue by saying theyd opened their own probe into the matter. Whos running the investigation? They wouldnt say. How long will it take? Nada.
A few months later, its the same story, as TPM found out when we caught up with Block at the National Press Club Tuesday night ahead of Cains response on behalf of the Tea Party Express to President Barack Obamas State of the Union Address. TPM asked when we could expect to see the results of that investigation.
Soon, Block said.
