BOOM!!- Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann Are UNDER FBI INVESTIGATION For Several Federal CRIMES

[Segami]

A new report revealed that both Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann are under federal investigation related to numerous potential crimes that were committed during their 2012 presidential campaigns.


OpenSecrets reported,

OpenSecrets Blog has learned that FBI agents have been interviewing a slew of witnesses connected to Ron Paul’s presidential campaign and grand jury subpoenas have been issued for email records from campaign officials. And in addition to payments to a Maryland video company that were routed to Sorenson in exchange for his endorsement, OpenSecrets has identified an additional suspicious payment by Paul’s campaign that may be linked to a $25,000 check to Sorenson from a jewelry store connected to a Paul operative.

Sources say two grand juries are looking into the 2012 campaigns of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), whom Sorenson originally endorsed, and Paul, to whom Sorenson switched his support just days before the Iowa caucuses. A number of individuals confirmed to OpenSecrets Blog that they had been interviewed by FBI agents, the grand juries, or both.
….
The subpoena lists several possible crimes being investigated including false reporting of campaign finance data by federal campaign committees, false statements to the FEC, obstruction of justice and concealing a federal crime.


http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2014/09/two-grand-juries-continuing-probe-into-2012-iowa-payola-scandal/

This is the same scandal that already took down Mitch McConnell’s former campaign manager, and Ron Paul’s grandson in law, Jesse Benton. There are currently two federal grand juries investigating Bachmann and Paul on top of the previously known FBI investigation of Bachmann. The bribery scandal could go much deeper than first reported. The scandal has already impacted the 2014 Kentucky Senate race and could devastate Rand Paul’s 2016 presidential campaign. Sen. Paul was going to be using the campaign structure that his father had put into place during his two previous bids for the Republican nomination.

[KinMd]

5. Wouldn't seeing Bachman doing a "perp walk" be the greatest?

..plus the mug shot..be still my heart

[hifiguy]

8. I'd be laughing for days.

And I'd laugh myself sick again every time I saw it from then on out.

[FSogol]

12. I'd rather see men in white uniforms chase her around with a man-sized butterfly net

while the theme from Benny Hill plays.

[hifiguy]

14. Some Internet Video Wizard

needs to make that a thing, and NOW.

[Kalidurga]

15. Oh oh I know where she can hide.

[malaise]

7. Bachmann should have been locked up ages ago but the criminal ReTHUG

house refused to deal with her ethics violations - they just told her not to run for office again.

Hope they all end up in prison - these people only join government to loot it and enrich themselves.

[merrily]

31. I think she knew this was coming.

[suffragette]

50. + 1,000,0000

[Thinkingabout]

10. Oh, Ron Paul, the never spend money, high investment with bribery

[calimary]

44. I'm wondering if somehow we can find out if his dear darling son the Kentucky Pipsqueak is involved.

Wouldn't that be great?

[Thinkingabout]

48. Probably preplanning for 2016.

[calimary]

72. I'd venture to say no "probably" about it.

If there's anything to read from little rand paul, it's an ego the size of the planet Jupiter. He OBVIOUSLY thinks he's not only presidential material but the savior of the entire republi-CON party. How many times has he talked about how HE is the way, the truth, and the light toward wooing back some of the very demographic groups that view the GOP as having about the same desirability as the Ebola virus?

And something else is at play here, too, with rand paul. We've seen the template already. Twice. george w bush and john mccain. Two Oedipus Complexes on legs. Two others chafing under the legacy of VERY accomplished fathers and also grandfathers. We know about the bushes. mccain's father and grandfather were both admirals. Each of these dudes has exhibited a glaring need to top the Alpha males in their families and assert their own dominance and supremacy. Each of these dudes has exhibited behavior that shows them attempting to best their fathers' legacies and accomplishments and "places in history." Hey, if your dad and grandpa were admirals, how do you top that? Well, go for the White House! Hey, if your grandpa was a senator and your dad got turned out of the White House after only one term, why not prove how a bush CAN, TOO, get a second term! Hey who's yer daddy NOW???? Show 'em how it's done, son!

And with little rand paul - his dad is the Harold Stassen of latter-day politics. A SERIES of runs for the White House, always a bridesmaid but never the bride, always with a little cult following off on the sidelines but never enough to get across the finish line. Turning into something of a national joke after awhile: "Oh, right. HIM again. Still working at it, pal?" How Alpha Male would it be within the paul family when sonny-boy goes all the way, like dad just somehow never could? If the son bests his father on such a huge national platform - either somehow "avenging" his father's broken dreams or showing daddy how it's done? Hey, family, WHO'S YER DADDY NOW????

I think we can't dismiss this ingredient in the rand paul recipe. I think we ignore it at our peril. It's part of him. It's in his blood, and in his own life history, growing up watching his dad's career. He's GONNA run. He's GONNA go for it. His ego won't let him NOT do it. Because he, too, has something to prove, both to his own insular family and to his political party and to the entire nation. He's just another little kid in the bathroom with Daddy, yearning to prove his whiskers are longer and thicker and his dick is bigger.

[Amethyst Ring]

80. Romney's story too

The lesser son of a great father trying desperately to show up Dad.

No more GOP candidates with 'daddy issues'. Please.

[calimary]

82. Welcome to DU, Amethyst Ring!

Glad you're here! Love your screen name!

HAH! I forgot all about little mittski. But yes. You're spot on. He, too, has something to prove up against a VERY accomplished father. They've just GOTTA assert their Alpha Male in the family, these poor pathetic guys. Sheesh - they're all supposedly grown men and yet they walk around with this ball and chain dragging behind them from which they won't break away. I'm with you, Amethyst Ring. I have NO time or patience whatsoever with these aging sonny-boys who still have such hard-ons for family supremacy. Shows you how flawed and basically unstable a bunch of little bitty weenies they really are, deep down inside, just aching to get in the old man's face and declare "mine's BIGGER!" And they aren't even ashamed of themselves!

And as such, they have NO business anywhere near the levers of power for the sake of OUR safety and stability.

[Tarheel_Dem]

11. Of course, you know whose fault this is, right?

[sheshe2]

27. ...

[Tarheel_Dem]

32. Come on she, you know it's true.

[littlemissmartypants]

54. ...

[lpbk2713]

13. Who knew these two would run a dirty campaign?

[cascadiance]

18. Perry and Bachmann will just find a way to blame Iowa corn dogs for their problems!

[sheshe2]

29. Holy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

You need to put a warning on that picture! Yikes.

[radicalliberal]

38. Yikes, indeed!

It's a phallic nightmare!

That image . . . that image . . .

Now I'll have to undergo years of therapy!

75. With Bachmann and these bums on overdrive, I think we "Ain't seen nothing yet!"

Her earlier dreams...

http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/bachmannturneroverdrive3.shtml

But I don't think she really saw then what was going to be happening now!

[blkmusclmachine]

19. It'll just endear them to the Teabagger Republicans that much more! 10 point bounce!

[Cleita]

20. Best news I've heard all week. Thanks! eom

[meow2u3]

21. Michele Bachmann, jailbird

How sweet it is!

[Shrike47]

23. We need to wait and see what comes of this. And hope, and hope, and hope...

Couldn't happen to a more self-righteous person.

[toby jo]

24. whoops

[merrily]

26. I worry that things like this and McDonnell convictions might influence voters.

Here's me worrying:

[rocktivity]

28. Rand Paul was going to use the campaign structure that his father used the past two times?

30. Michelle, my lu-ny belle, while well past bat-shit crazy, surely you would not do anything even

smelling of being illegal. Right?

[eppur_se_muova]

45. I was trying to imagine that to the tune of "Michelle" ... didn't work ...

but I realize content trumps form here.

[Ineeda]

37. I hope Christie's turn comes soon, too. n/t

[3catwoman3]

41. We'll, today just...

...keeps getting better and better.

42. k&r...

[Enthusiast]

46. I'm sure the Obama DOJ is just being partisan.

[alcibiades_mystery]

47. Anyone who doesn't understand that Ron Paul bribed an Iowa elected official is a moron

Plain and simple.

[rhett o rick]

49. I am getting real nervous. Tell me when Jeb F'n Bush is under investigation. Seems like all his

competition are dropping like flies.

[Major Hogwash]

52. Can't wait to see them both do the perp walk.

For awhile there, I was worried that Bachmann would walk off scot-free.
But, I guess that all of those rumors of her being innocent were rather ill-founded.

[denbot]

55. And kitty cat says..

[IMG][/IMG]

[mgardener]

56. Now let us hope...

Chris christie, Rick perry and
Sarah palin. Hopefully one day, sarah palin

[Scarsdale]

57. Great news.

Also, too, Scott Walker from Wisconsin, Rick Scott Florida. The "right" just loves their slimy, sneaky con artists, don't they? They can spout their religious drivel all they want to, we KNOW who they are. Is Marcus still trying to convert young men from homosexuality? What a scam. It didn't work for him, why would it work on anyone else?I guess now he will have to find a legitimate job.

[Ilsa]

58. Rand Paul has to choose between running for

The Senate again, or running for President. Last I heard, Kentucky doesn't allow a candidate to run in both races simultaneously.

[Stuart G]

59. k and r....just for the fun of it....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope indictments are on the way!

63. the pauls were a major roadblock to obama's new world order

some people will actually believe that so i need this disclaimer

[rocktivity]

65. Posted by Rocktivity Dec 20, 2011

Michele Bachmann read this statement in response to her Iowa campaign co-chairman’s defection to the Ron Paul campaign:

“...Kent Sorenson personally told me he was offered a large sum of money to go to work for the Paul campaign...Kent said to me yesterday that ‘everyone sells out in Iowa, why shouldn’t I,’ then he told me he would stay with our campaign...Kent campaigned with us earlier this afternoon and went immediately afterward to a Ron Paul event and announced he is changing teams. The Ron Paul campaign has to answer for its actions."

Uh-huh -- it's Ron Paul's fault that Michele doesn't know how to take a hint.

Sorenson either wanted more money or decided to jump off a sinking ship. And since Bachmann neither offered a raise nor fired him, he didn't even do her the courtesy of handing in a resignation -- which reflects as poorly upon her leadership skills as it does upon his character.
(link)

And I guess it's going to reflect badly on Sorenson's business sense, too. If he HAD turned in a resignation, he could have claimed that he was simply "hired" by the Paul camp -- I KNEW this would come back to haunt him!
