Bachmann wrote the letter urging the president to pardon Vennes for his 1987 conviction on federal money laundering, illegal firearm sales and cocaine distribution charges. He was sentenced to five years in federal prison.
Vennes, has been a major financial contributor to Bachmann since 2005. Was Bachmann’s letter in support of Vennes’ presidential pardon a quid pro quo for Vennes’ largesse? Until Bachmann releases her original letter, the motivation behind it won’t be known. Bachmann chief of staff Michele Marston told Minnesota Independent Monday that “We’re trying to track down a copy of that letter."
Once again, it was not illegal, and check writing is a staff function, just like twitters, email, letters, and etc, call and bitch at her chief of staff.
Ever hear the saying that the real crime in DC is what is legal?
And I'll repeat the questions - are you OK with using taxpayer monies for political activities? And with Bachmann calling the event a press conference when it wasn't?
Kind of reminds ya of the ol’ dayz, eh? FO and all.. ;
lol
Mods why do we allow trolling like this on FR. If RED SOUTH is a Palin supporter it’s an embarrassment to Palin and this site.

I hear ya. I , for one, am sick of this crap. We put up with this kind of crap during the 2003 REcall.. sliming conservatives non-stop.
Wouldn’t surprise that this is the same account team that was slinging mud at anyone and everyone that didn’t goose step to their tune.
You’re a hypocrite! You do it all the time with your Palin threads and posts, and now you’re whining when the tables are turned????
PKB.
Funny you admonishing someone for trashing Bachmann when you’ve made a career out of slamming Palin on FR.
It is truly enlightening to read your opposing comments on threads regards Palin vs Bachman.
Michele Bachmann's new top consultant, Ed Rollins, began his tenure with scathing criticism of potential Bachmann rival Sarah Palin.
"Sarah has not been serious over the last couple of years," Rollins told Brian Kilmeade on his radio show, Kilmeade and Friends. "She got the Vice Presidential thing handed to her, she didn't go to work in the sense of trying to gain more substance, she gave up her governorship."
He suggested that the contrast would favor Bachmann.
"Michele Bachmann and others [have] worked hard, she has been a leader of the Tea Party which is a very important element here, she has been an attorney, she has done important things with family values."
“Michele Bachmann and others [have] worked hard, she has been a leader of the Tea Party which is a very important element here, she has been an attorney, she has done important things with family values.”

Bump!!
“I’m willing to use EVIL means to get rid of these damn communists. “
I agree. The Establishment republicans must go.
The tea party has no leader. Bachman has just been a typical politician trying to coopt the movement for her own personal political ambitions.
in the end we are still waiting for a non-DC VIABLE candidate.
You know you are quoting Ed Rollins right? And I thought the Tea Party didn't have a specific leader?
I never posted or “trashed” Palin. If you call facts “trash”, well suit yourself. Do what you always do. Pretend it isn’t so and sweep them under the rug. I never posted for reasons of knocking Palin down in order to elevate a certain candidate as you do. Imagine that. Agreeing with a guy the likes of Larry O’Donnell or whatever a leftist comes up with against a conservative actual candidate for no reason other than spite.
Problem you have is you will take no criticism of record, policy positions, or electability regarding Palin. You just gather those facts up and put your hands over your ears so you can feel good. We aren’t allowed to do anything but close our minds and offer fabulous praise.
I don’t have one problem at all with talking facts with a rational person.
For instance, I don’t agree with Bachmann over ethanol subsidies. So she is not perfect. None of them are. But she is a conservative candidate in this race. I can at least admit that I don’t think she is the second coming. I can’t even say she would win. But I like her and she does not deserve the foulness of a bunch of harpies because she was able to make up her mind and exercise her right to enter this race. If she had not entered, I would not be begging her to. A person enters because they want to and it is a sacrifice.
Now you go ahead and chase all the pipe dreams you desire to. That won’t make them come true. Maybe try crossing your fingers and twirling around a few times with your sparkly wand will help.
By the way, I don’t post about a non candidate and haven’t for a while, but you see, checking that doesn’t fit your narrow little narrative.
Yeah, it’s just that sometimes one wants to post to a smart person who agrees with oneself and it turns out to be you.
Yes she did, now the shoe is on the other foot and she can't handle it.
She's in serious denial over what she did and what she's doing now holding her hands over her ears and going "la la la la la la la", then claiming she never dissed Palin.
Drapes crying to a moderator after all the bovine excrement he’s posted. Puleeze.
I see you started on your next bottle for tonight. I made myself clear in the above post.
I apologize if I grouped you in with the old prunes.;)
I like Palin, Cain and Bachmann. Absolutely will not vote for or support Romney or Giuliani.
I admonished you over and over again during that time about what you were doing. Echoing pissant's nonsense and spreading it as if it were "facts" was not what I call innocent by any stretch.
It was wrong then and still is now, watching you now that you have a candidate you support, the schadenfreude is just delicious......
I have a recommendation for you, just apologize and move on rather than pretending you didn't do anything wrong, it's the right thing to do.
I hope folk don't get me wrong..
'til Sarah tosses her cap in..
What else ya got?
Cain?
Mitt?
Perry?
