Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, today filed a pair of complaints concerning Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell's use of more than $20,000 in campaign funds for personal expenses.
"Christine O'Donnell is clearly a criminal, and like any crook she should be prosecuted," CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan said in a release. "Ms. O'Donnell has spent years embezzling money from her campaign to cover her personal expenses. Republicans and Democrats don't agree on much these days, but both sides should agree on one point: thieves belong in jail not the United States Senate."
CREW is requesting that the U.S. Attorney's office in Delaware open a criminal investigation and asking the Federal Election Commission to audit O'Donnell's campaign expenses.
The group said its allegations are tied to former O'Donnell aide David Keegan's affidavit stating O'Donnell, who has run for Senate three times, paid her rent for two months out of campaign funds in 2009 and also used campaign funds for meals and gas. In addition to misappropriation of campaign funds, CREW argues that O'Donnell is guilty of lying about the expenditures and committed tax evasion by not reporting the money as income.
Representatives for O'Donnell, whose financial disclosure form said her earned income between March 2009 and June 2010 was just $5,800, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Wow, they’re just losing it over there in the MSM, aren’t they....
“Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW”
Is this a Soros funded group?
Now that is funny.
Meanwhile Coons is still a marxist.
I’ve heard all this before. here was it now? Let me think?
Oh yeah, this is what they did to Sarah! She’s being Palinized!
She has already explained this in detail and posted on her website.
FAIL
I think in general "they" are..I have heard some seriously outlandish claims as of recent; from otherwise middle of the road "Bush is the Devil" type liberals...
I'm packing Nov. 03. A crushing landslide in Conservative favor; no telling...
‘thieves belong in jail not the United States Senate’
What do you call someone who takes your property by threat of force?
Yeah, applies to all in DC.
Talking about campaign crooks, they’re going to be auctioning off Bill Clinton’s saxaphone (owned by jailed campaign money-man Norman Hsu):
***In addition to misappropriation of campaign funds, CREW argues that O’Donnell is guilty of lying about the expenditures and committed tax evasion by not reporting the money as income. ***
They need to make up their mind. Is it income (which she can spend any way she wants) or campaign expenditures (which are regulated)?
I was just thinking that this is how Palin was born.
What I want to know is how Coons feels about masturbation. Even more important, How does Nancy Pelosi’s husband feel about it.
Total Apparatchik Here.
sound familiar?
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”
8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”
10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.”
11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside... every positive has its negative.”
Oh cBS news, gotta love them.
“She’s being Palinized!”
Exactly so.
Christine is public enemy #1.
