BREAKING: Mitt Romney Charged With Violating Federal Ethics Law!
As of November 1, Mitt Romney is one of the first presidential candidates ever to be charged with violating federal ethics law.
United Automobile Workers (UAW) and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) have just charged Romney with hiding between 15.3 to 11.5 million dollars from the auto industry bailout in his wife Annes blind trust to conceal the gain and reduce taxes on it.

Darleen is correct. The difference between a complaint and formal charges is significant.

I understand the difference, but you make THE point -- if they had enough, they'd charge him.

Totally agree - they know what they're doing to keep from being charged with anything. I hate him.

Just highlights the fact that there are no current charges against Romney - disappointing news.
