Justice asked to probe mystery donation to pro-Romney group Reform groups say $1 million from firm t
Edited on Fri Aug-05-11 04:24 AM by EV_Ares
Two campaign reform groups are asking the Justice Department to investigate a mysterious $1 million contribution to a political committee backing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney from an obscure company that shut down shortly after making the donation.

The contribution to Restore Our Future, a so-called “super PAC” formed by three former Romney political aides, drew scrutiny following an NBC News report on Thursday . The firm that gave the money, called W Spann LLC, was formed in March – with no listed officers or directors — made the contribution in April, then dissolved itself in July, according to corporate records.

Leave it to republicans to do it without subtlety or finesse.

2. I hope extra copies of this news article are delivered
to the bozos pretending to mete out justice blindly.

3. Well back in the day Romney was very good at buying
firms and making the employees jobs disappear.
Romney makes most snake-oil salesmen look respectable.

5. Republicon Occultism. As usual.
They are always smiling and wearing little American Flag lapel pins (made in China) to give some facsimile of respectability, but in the shadows the Republicons are always up to something deep, dark, skanky and illegal or eeeevil -- they are occultists...hiding their real nature and doings from public view.
