Documents: Sen. Klobuchar took Ponzi schemer’s campaign contributions, didn’t prosecute

http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/19/d...emers-campaign-contributions-didnt-prosecute/

Daily Caller said:
Documents obtained by The Daily Caller show that U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar helped keep a multibillion-dollar Ponzi schemer out of prison in the late 1990s when she was the County Attorney in Hennepin County, Minnesota.

That financial criminal, Tom Petters, presided over companies whose employees gave Klobuchar $8,500 for her re-election campaign, and would later contribute more than $120,000 toward her U.S. Senate run.

Nice find!

I wonder if he can get enough cash together to run an ad on that.

Lucille · Oct 19, 2012

I know I'm shocked that HotAir's Ed Morrissey hasn't blogged this. /sarc I sent them a message, but as I've said before, most of them would prefer a prog over a Ron Paul type any day of the week.

Bump. It sounds like a couple of the stations are going to investigate, which means they will probably report their findings AFTER the election.
