Breaking Exclusive: Crew Director uses own Father to levy FEC charges against Christine O’Donnell- Tea Party News

Leonard S Togman, Father of Crew Director, Melanie Sloan, files FEC charges to help daughter attack O'Donnelll

O’Donnell attacker, Melanie Sloan, uses her own father to file trumped up charges with FEC

The Freedomist has been investigating the charges levied against Tea Party champion Christine O’Donnell by the partisan group, CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington- which targets conservative leaders), led by Attorney Melanie Sloan. In the course of that investigation, The Freedomist has learned that the group, CREW, filed a charge on behalf of a Leonard S Togman. (see the official charges here from a PDF posted on the crew site: http://www.citizensforethics.org/node/45695

FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION In the matter of: Christine O’Donnell …

File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat – Quick View Complainant Leonard S. Togman is a citizen of the United States, a registered voter, and a resident of the State of Delaware. As a registered voter, …

While Mr Togman may be a Delaware voter, what has been omitted from Melanie Sloan’s statements on this case, from the official complaint filed by the FEC, and the official statements made by CREW, is that Leonard Togman is Melanie Sloan’s father. Not only is Leonard Togman the father of Melanie Sloan, like Melanie Sloan herself, he also happens to be a heavy Biden supporter. He is also a strong supporter of the man many people believe Christine O’Donnell will challenge in 2012, Thomas Carper.

This story is about much more than Tea Party challenger Christine O’Donnell, this is about the tactics being used by progressives to assault our Tea Party and Conservative Leaders over and over again with personal assaults, using accusations, false charges, and a myriad of Alinksy-like tactics to undermine the person, since they cannot stand in front of the American people and tell them to vote for their kind of candidate, ones who are beholden to big government, big unions, and political class elitism. This is why we call on our Freedomist readers to help us get this story out about Melanie Sloan and her Father, political class elitists using our own government to attempt to destroy any Freedom-loving leader that dares stand in the way of their big government agenda. How can you help” You can link this site onto your own site. You can tweet this story out. But more importantly, you can do this:

contact the Chairman of the House Committee that oversees the FEC to ask them exactly why they have not dismissed this obvious partisan assault by the father of one of Christine O’Donnell’s political enemies, Melanie Sloan.

Go to his official House website here: http://lungren.house.gov/index.html

Call him at these numbers and tell Dan Lungren to ask the FEC why they are allowing this trumped up charge to go forward, and why they are not investigating Melanie Sloan for filing false charges:

(916) 859-9906: District Office

(202) 225-5716: Washington Office

Here is more information about this emerging controversy now surrounding the accuser herself, Melanie Sloan:

1) Melanie Sloan’s father is Leonard S. Togman, a retired attorney from Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP.[3]

2) CREW’s Complaint against Christine O’Donnell is based upon — LEONARD S. TOGMAN (her father) — for “standing” of a Delaware voter.

3) Leonard S. Togman’s campaign donations are almost exclusively donations to JOE BIDEN and Thmoas Carper.

The Complaint against Christine O’Donnell is officially, formally brought on behalf of a Delaware voter LEONARD S. TOGMAN.

This same Leonard S. Togman has made 16 donations to Biden in the last decade, totaling $9,975, and 8 donations to Democratic Senator Tom Carper, whom everyone expects Christine O’Donnell to run against for the US Senate in 2012, totaling $4,500

67.7% of all of the Togman’s political donations have been to JOE BIDEN

30.5% of all of the Togman’s political donations have been to TOM CARPER, possible future opponent for Christine O’Donnell in 2012.

Melanie Sloan is using her father, a Biden-Carp supporter, as she is, as the COMPLAINTANT in the FEC Complaint.

Here is the link to the pdf file that lists Leonard S. Togman as the official complainant in the charges trumped up by his daughter, Melanie Sloan:

The problem with this charge political tactic is. This made a headline on the 10 pm FOX, CNBC, CNN,CBS, ABC newscasts and that’s all. That bulletin was intended to drip slime about the targeted individual into little sheeple heads relying on these sources.

When they (partcularly FOX & CO) should have reported it as a “There is an unproven political charge” bla bla bla initially.

Now O’Donnell’s people have to go back to these and other sources including talk radio.

There is a raft of pseudo conservative talking heads whom I call “herdists” (particularly those soft on “social issues”) who (particularly RINO’s sometimes gleefully)repeat what the Ministry of Statest Misinformation (MSM) reports.

What O’Donnell’s people have to do now is nail those “herdists” talk show hosts, by name, and demand they question it.

It’s the continuing pattern of victim mentality and ad hominem defense. Gender discrimination, they’re hiding in the bushes, Joe Biden is sending the FBI, it’s all a Mike Castle plot, etc....rather than addressing the facts.

The facts are that COD used campaign funds to pay part of the her rent. That is the fact that Castle-libs and progressive propagandists are disingenuously focusing upon. They are not focusing on the fact that she was using her residence as a campaign HQ, and that it was perfectly lega, and that it was chump change because that is what she had back then.

They also ignore facts that are actually significant and that involve serious money when it comes to their liberal friends. For example, they ignored the fact that Mike Castle received massive amounts from companies that he bailed out with TARP money. This was also legal but much more egregious than anything Christine did.

O'Donnell's campaign paid for OFFICE RENT with campaign funds, not "her" rent.

Why not work on your case so you can win in court.

Because when the charges are thrown in the trash, it will be buried on page 59. Of course, she is working to show the accusations are crap. But in the meantime, they are trying to slander her in the process.

Can we please see the checks she personally wrote to the campaign on her rent first

She did not owe any rent. When her attorney boyfriend -- who works at an investment company -- bought her house for $135,000 (she owed only $90,000 on the house), he made an investment for the future.

Christine did not owe any rent. She was not paying him rent.

It is the continuing pattern of false smears, which the Left has been using ever since Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Clarence Thomas, Caspar Weinberger, Oliver North, Jessie Helms, and on and on and on and on. Same old song.

The Left keeps swinging and missing. This is one more failed attempt to try to stand up as tall as Christine O'Donnell. Christine's critics are not intellectually tall enough to take her on. They keep trying... and they keep failing.

Yes, they just can’t understand her high level of math, where 57% exceeds 43%. We get it.

Correct me if I am wrong. I thought that, at the time, Christine was using her residence as her campaign HQ & was using campaign funds to pay a portion of the rent. This is acceptable because the residence was also serving as her office. Am I wrong about this?
