Indictment of Petters' crony is embarrassing for Bachmann

Vennes and his family members donated $27,400 to Bachmann’s campaigns between 2005-2008. Bachmann and Pawlenty subsequently asked then-President George W. Bush to pardon Vennes.

n May 1987, Vennes was indicted on money laundering charges, to which he pled guilty, plus gun and drug charges, to which he pled no contest. (He later tried to withdraw the pleas but the courts rejected the request.) He was sentenced to five years at Sandstone Prison in northern Minnesota and served three. In 2008, the feds raided Vennes’ homes as part of the Petters probe.


TOPICS: Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: commie; democrat; feminazi; propaganda
Serious lack of good judgment on Bachmann's part. Throw in hiring Ed Rollins and her constant half truths including the farm subsidies her family recieved..... kind of reminds me of conservative female version of Al Gore.

Have you ever been a *ahem* patient at one of Mr Bachmann’s clinics? Perhaps you’ve suppressed a lot of anger and are now releasing it?

Minnpost as your source, that’s really credible. You are trolling the slimy sewers to discredit Bachmann.

I’d encourage anyone who thinks your source is credible to get their hepatitis shot and take a look at the rest of Minnpost’s content. They are about as leftwing as it gets in Minnesota, and that’s saying something.

Just keep throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks. This is about the third time this same article with minute repackaging has been thrown up. If this is as good as it gets, somebody better worry.

many people including republicans think Eric Black to be fair and balanced. don’t hate on me because Bachmann is so incompetent that she can’t manage a pardon or comparing her heart to that of a killer clown. and you people want to turn her lose in the WH.

Honey, I’m not ‘hating’ on you, or whatever the victimology term is these days. Using a term like that just exposes you as a liberal who is unable to debate issues - the “heart of a killer clown”. REALLY? I mean, really, is THAT the best you can come up with besides a Minnpost screed ‘written by a guy most Republicans like?’

Your credibility is shot, with me, and I imagine most FReepers.

Good golly, RED, this one will get your undies in a bunch and hopefully the pinglist.

I thought I’d pre-empt your spamming of FR with the article, since I’m such a ‘hater.’ Thought I’d just help out someone with your mentality by linking helpful news for concerned citizens. Did you hear Michelle quit beating her gay husband? LOL!

So? Anti-American, globalist traitors have donated to all of the other politicians’ campaigns, and they’re colluding with foreign communist enemies.

Yep. Here’s another one. It appears that people with sexual identity problems have a problem with Bachmann.
