DOJ indicts Jesse Benton and John Tate

[Carlybee]

the federal government is harassing a Paul staff member and family, of course I'm trying to keep the situation under control, what am I going to do? Let the liberty movement get destroyed by sensationalist media and zealous federal witchhunters? you're damn right I'm trying to stop rumors and lies from eating the campaign alive.

Are you a Matt Collins sock puppet? Why are you responding to a question directed at Matt?

Because I'm defending Paul & his associates for the same reason, to win. We can't afford to have mud slung on us and the media lying about us, it's bad enough that idiot Americans believe their lies, but people in the movement? We can't expect to win if we keep beating up people in our circle, in this case, it's Paul's FAMILY AND TRUSTED EMPLOYEE. Where would Campaign for Liberty be without Tate? Did you ever think about that?

Porter Stansberry company is just a prophet that warns people about the booms and busts, but feel free to waste your money in the stock market without their advice.

Isagenix is a legitimate business, or else Ronnie, Israel and Doug wouldn't all be involved in it. Why do you hate freedom and capitalism and self employment so much?

Satire?

 

[PRB]

Satire?

why would you say that?

All right, we get your point. Now do us all a favor and GTFO. Enough trolling for one day. You earned your pay. You can use my neg rep as a proof to your boss.

I didn't read about that all over the internet or watch it play out in the media newz cycle. All of America ain't Wisconsin.

That's because voters don't care about this stuff.

asking people not to believe the media and federal government is trolling, got it.

If I was Benton and is not guilty (or even guilty) I'd leave the PAC and say Ron and Rand has nothing to do with what he may or may not have done in 2012. I wonder if Benton will resign... Seriously, he can't be that selfish.

The man needs money and has no skills. What else can he do ? He should apply to Christie's campaign. That might actually help Rand.

he doesn't need to resign, the feds are out of blood and he's lucky if the PAC doesn't get forfeiture auctioned.

he has money, he's a Paul. LOL. No other campaign will take him if he's proven remotely guilty. There's plenty of jobs for people without skills, whether he's willing to do it is another story.

 

[KingRobbStark]

Fucking Benton.

 

[devil21]

Remember the two things Ron said at the end of every speech.

Spread the message.

Have fun.

 

[Danke]

I just voted that way as a joke, because so many people hated him so much, and I didn't really understand why. But now I better understand why people dislike him so much and didn't want him to have anything to do with Rand's campaign.

I explanned my dealings with him during the 2008 campaign.

there's nothing liberty about an indictment, no need to spread it.

 

[Danke]

Satire?

You know PRB is a troll, right? He just doesn't post as much now as before.

Nice! Suspicions confirmed. It was similar to the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups, and now it turns out to be the same guy!

Jessie's a nightmare, but I was wondering when someone was going to start chiming in about the merits of the charges.

not a benton fan, and this was definitely timed well by the DOJ, but this doesnt do hardly any damage long term...in 2 weeks, no one remembers.

 

[randomname]

Rand may get a question about this in the debate, hope he's preparing a knockout answer to this that turns it around on them
without looking conspiratorial

- "people connected to you are criminals, what do you have to say to this"
bla bla bla lois lerner
- "are you suggesting this is all a big conspiracy to hurt your candidacy?"

Time will tell. People thought something as insignificant as the Newsletters would only last one election cycle too, but they hung on for every single time Ron ran.
