Kent Sorenson pleads guilty to accepting payments to switch support

[fr33]

For the people who don't get it....

Hands up if you are okay with your donation being used to secretly buy endorsements, even if done in a legal way?

I'm not ok with it but there are worse things the campaign did in my opinion; or just as bad. Like paying Benton several hundreds of thousands of dollars while losing so he could go on and slither into the establishment's ranks and continuing to ask for money even when it's clear they weren't trying to win(after the email went out saying Romney was the nominee). The usual apologist response is that Benton was paid for reimbursements but I remember news stories talking about how itemized Ron's campaign expenses were and how even fast food orders were listed, yet Benton's reimbursements have never been itemized. Ron did some great things in his political career and the campaigns helped gather liberty people together but still.... he was a grifter. I don't believe that he didn't know about Sorenson or Benton's activities.

Anyone else think this is directly related to C4L's 'IRS' problem? Lots of lawyers getting paid right now...

Whoa, wait, wut?

Sorenson faces 25 years in prison for hiding about $73,000 from Paul’s campaign.

$73k?

Bribery charges in politics are laughable.

Breaking news! Politician accepts money from someone other than a bank or corporation!

Don't get too excited.

Clearly this is directed at the Liberty Movement(Ron and Rand especially). People who have brought that up to me knowing I am a RP supporter have been surprised when I say "Let those scumbag spineless twerps rot in a jail cell, they are not in the liberty movement" I think people expect me to defend of which I don't. People still get surprised when I tell them that Ron didn't take any benefits and returned any surpluses in his budget back to the state.
