PHOENIX --A Phoenix woman who has worked for top Arizona Republicans and as a consultant arranging fundraisers for Sen. John McCain is facing numerous felony drug charges after Maricopa County sheriff's deputies raided her home.

Sheriff's spokesman Det. Doug Matteson says 35-year-old Emily Pitha was arrested Tuesday afternoon after her live-in boyfriend signed for a package containing more than 250 grams of Ecstasy. The couple shares the home with two children. Authorities were first alerted to possible drug activity by the parcel in transit from the Netherlands, reports the Arizona Republic.

Undercover detectives and U.S. Postal Inspectors raided the north-central Phoenix home after the delivery. Matteson says detectives also found methamphetamines, LSD, heroin, cocaine, what appeared to be a meth lab, numerous chemicals and a large amount of cash.

Pitha declined to talk to deputies and was being booked into jail late Tuesday. Her boyfriend, 36-year-old Christopher Hustrulid, also was jailed.

Why do I think this ‘fundraiser’ was using under the table funds to setup the drug operation.

On the radio this afternoon, in Phoenix, they added that she had worked for Kyle, as well. There were also marijuana plants and counterfeit currency on the premises.

Hopefully, this is McCain’s last rodeo. His Republican primary opponent, Kelli Ward, was polling well against him in the last poll I saw.

Worse yet, a former McCain campaign worker named “Carly Fiorina” hooked up with a dude named “Ted Cruz”. Ewwww.....

I see no evidence that Megan McCain uses methamphetamine or any other appetite suppressant.
