"...his virtual bribery of Governor Sebelius and others."

More info on that statement?

If you’ll look at the Sibelius confirmation threads, you’ll see that he was a truly huge donor to her campaigns. In fact, the issue of the depth of their connection hasn’t been settled yet, to my knowledge.

During the Sebelius Senate Hearing process, Kathleen Sebelius claimed she had only received about $14,000 in donations.

Senator Kyl brought up about another $38,000 in donations, and then Operation Rescue brought to light another $200,000 in donations...

It raised a big enough stink about these donations that some Republicans who might have voted to confirm Sebelius voted against her, and the Reid hurried up a vote on Sebelius because opposition was "rapidly growing"...

Well, two things. A local attorney general was after him for concealing statutory rape by aborting minors without reporting on it, and other offenses. Tiller gave large sums to this AG’s Dem opponent, and threw him out of office. The Dem was subsequently accused of corruption and resigned.

He also gave hundreds of thousands to Sebelius, some of it under the table, and that helped him avoid convictions in this and other cases brought against him.

He was clearly in violation of Kansas law, but used campaign contributions to throw people out of office, and to support judges and politicians who favored him and bent the law for him.
