The Kerry campaign used the same lawyer as America Coming Together, an independent political group that has been running attack ads against Bush, the New York Times said.

The lawyer cited by the Times, Robert Bauer of the Washington law firm Perkins Coie, had ``a limited role'' in the campaign during the primaries and doesn't work for it now, Kerry spokesman Phil Singer said. Singer added he didn't know when Bauer stopped working for the campaign. Bauer didn't return calls to his office.

In addition, attorney Joe Sandler said he works for both the Democratic National Committee and MoveOn.org, a group running advertisements criticizing Bush. Sandler declined to discuss his dual role, referring questions to the DNC. <snip>

``Of course lawyers can have multiple clients; the issue here is one of deception,'' she said. ``It has been publicly known for years that Joe Sandler is working for MoveOn.org, but the Bush campaign has repeatedly denied that everyone, including their counsel, had any ties to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.''

1. So why did Ben Ginsberg resign?

As I understand it, MoveOn and ACT are PACs, not 527s.

The DNC IS NOT the Kerry campaign.

3. He Had To, Because

Bush insisted there was absolutely NO connection.

Therefore, ANY connection showed he lied.
