If you can’t trust your cronies…?
Who can you
trust?
The fundraising arm for Republican members of the
U.S. House of Representatives says its former treasurer is under investigation
for the unauthorized transfers of “several hundred thousand dollars”
of its funds that appear to have landed in his personal
accounts.
The National Republican Congressional Committee said that after it learned bogus financial statements had been submitted to its bank dating back to 2002, it contacted the FBI, which began a criminal investigation.
Christopher Ward, a consultant to the committee and its former treasurer, was dismissed in January. He had worked for the committee since 1995…
The committee’s chairman, Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, said in a statement, “The evidence we have today indicates we have been deceived and betrayed for a number of years by a highly respected and trusted individual.”
Aren’t all the crooks in Washington “respected and trusted”?
