A federal grand jury is investigating former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson over possible campaign-finance violations stemming from his 2008 presidential run, including allegations that he arranged for supporters to pay off a woman who planned to say they had engaged in an extramarital affair...

Several of Mr. Richardson's close associates have been granted immunity from prosecution in exchange for their testimony

CedarDave I think that I told you before that I was told by a lady in a firm that participated in the selling of GRIP bonds that if they wanted to participate then they had to donate large sums to Richardson’s Moving America Forward PAC.

I think that I told you before ...

May have and maybe a senior memory blank on my part. In any event hopefully it's more than hearsay. King Richard and his cronies need more than a single election defeat, like jail time.

Thanks george76.

...possible campaign-finance violations...

IOW, he's guilty, but will get off with a slap on the wrist.

NM people will always believe in their “bill” too.
