Very Serious Allegations Made Against 2012 Ron Paul Campaign Manager Jesse Benton

[Carlybee]

No kidding...this post of yours made me chuckle:

That's hilarious..

And yet your creepy thread stalker spams away to his heart's content. SMDH. Mods must be out to lunch.

Yep- I've even asked them about it- with no reply.

Un-ban jjdoyle.

^^^this

^^^this.

How long does it take to "revue" an account?

Sad to see someone banned for essentially "being right", in a vocal manner.

Add my voice to this chorus. I was thinking the same when this news broke yesterday.

The RI Article is factually incorrect.... Jared was a paid employee, and he did not die of AIDS. Wenzel should be ashamed of himself for posting such blatant and false information as this. Jared was a friend of mine.

The OP has been changed to read:

Gamble died on July 8, 2013, apparently from unspecified respiratory complications, at the age of 26.

He was also a volunteer: for Rand Paul.

If he didn't die of AIDS, of what did he die?

related to 'National Right to Work Committee" investigation?

Is this all tied to an investigation of the National Right to Work Committee? Apparently, the IRS wants to prove the 501(c) NRWC did political work they aren't supposed to. This opensecrets story from 11/25/13 includes the names of all the same people involved in the Sorenson thing.

National, Iowa Right to Work Groups Subsidized State Candidates, Misled IRS, Former Employee Charges
by Russ Choma on November 25, 2013

A former political operative with the National Right to Work Committee who was involved with the 2008 and 2012 Ron Paul presidential campaigns has accused the anti-union group of running a sprawling off-the-books mass-mailing operation that violated state campaign finance laws and is at odds with the group’s statements to the IRS.

Dennis Fusaro, the former NRTWC operative, sent a lengthy letter to NRTWC board members on Thursday, demanding they “clean up” what he says was illegal activity. Fusaro’s primary allegation is that the organization was using its resources to design, write, print and mail letter campaigns on behalf of numerous conservative Iowa state candidates, and that top officials of the group knew it. The assistance was not reported as contributions to the candidates in Iowa filings, Fusaro wrote in his letter and OpenSecrets Blog confirmed.

NRTWC is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) organization and is allowed to participate in some political activity, but must disclose it on annual 990 reports filed with the IRS. Both NRTWC and its affiliated Mid-America Right to Work Committee denied, on their 2010 forms, having been involved in politics. According to tax experts contacted by OpenSecrets Blog, if the allegations made by Fusaro are true, the activity should have been reported, and if it was intentionally kept off the tax forms, the group could lose its tax-exempt status or face criminal charges...

...Earlier allegations by Fusaro were broadly substantiated. He had worked for the national organization and then was executive director of Iowans for Right to Work Committee until 2011, when he left the group after a dispute with Kesari and others. Last August, Fusaro provided OpenSecrets.org with an email exchange between top Ron Paul 2012 campaign officials and an Iowa political operative which appeared to show them negotiating over how much money to pay Iowa state Sen. Kent Sorensen (R) for his endorsement in the 2012 Iowa caucuses.

Unspecified respiratory illness according to the updated page.

I don't think Jared is tainted by any of this, is seems he was targeted by the slimy troika of Benton, Tate and Kesari.

Unless there was foul play involved in his death.

Hmm?

The implication of the story is that there may have been something on that laptop, and perhaps some other things in that house -- papers, etc. -- that someone did not want to ever see the light of day.

Yes, it sure seems that way.

Un-ban jjdoyle.

No, I don't think so. There's enough trolls here already.

 

[angelatc]

Exactly- if Benton was associated with any other candidate, this would never have happened. What's next? All Rand supporters are terrorists?

That's not true.

In my political accounting circles, it's pretty common knowledge that while the FEC is essentially toothless, the DOJ is aggressively jumping into the fray, and has been for the past 3 - 4 years.

Benton won't be the first political figure to go to prison for stuff like this. He's just the first one of ours.

 

[angelatc]

Interesting.

Well, there's the scapegoat!

This is true. But, I cannot overlook the timing of this indictment. That part, at the least, was definitely politically motivated.

 

[phill4paul]

I have no idea, angela. Waiting to see if more info comes out regarding it.

Factually correct.
No one dies of AIDS. They die of other stuff because the AIDS (or the treatment) has destroyed the ability to fight it.

 

[pcosmar]

Well, there's the scapegoat!

Hey,, Blame the dead guy.

 

[angelatc]

Of course. And I think the GOP is being targeted more than the DNC.

 

[angelatc]

Hey,, Blame the dead guy.

Works for the Clintons, right?

WTF are you trying to do??? How frickin' dare you!!!!

How dare I what?

Suggest that something more devious may have been in the works?

To go to the elaborate plans that they did to allegedly gain access to the home seems to indicate something of extreme importance and damaging consequences.

People will do desperate things when faced with desperate situations.
