Donors to GOP get the breaks-Rules appear different for Democrats, Fieger

[Ruby Romaine]

Attorney General Mike Cox and Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land were quick to pursue a criminal investigation this year when they suspected a group -- later linked to Geoffrey Fieger -- illegally orchestrated attack ads against a conservative Supreme Court justice.

But when Cox and Land discovered their own supporters may have violated campaign laws last year, they treated it as a mere mistake.

In each instance, the question came down to whether corporate money was used to improperly influence the political process -- a felony.
