Humm, so before you write a check to support the RNC you might want to see how this all comes out.

Steele's Campaign Spending Questioned
Agents Contact Sister After Ex-Aide's Claims

"Michael S. Steele, the newly elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, arranged for his 2006 Senate campaign to pay a defunct company run by his sister for services that were never performed, his finance chairman from that campaign has told federal prosecutors."

"The recent allegations outlined four specific transactions. In addition to the payment to Steele's sister, Fabian said that the candidate used money from his state campaign improperly; that Steele paid $75,000 from the state campaign to a law firm for work that was never performed; and that he or an aide transferred more than $500,000 in campaign cash from one bank to another without authorization.

The bank transfer was made against the explicit wishes of other Maryland Republicans, who had hoped to use it to support the campaigns of state legislators, said aides to Steele and former governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr."

I understand your theory here. That is all it is. Do you always get your news from the opinion section of a left-wing rag like the Washington Post. For the real story do some research. Oh and to be fair you should write an apology and a retraction to your bogus story.

WASHINGTON — Michael Steele, the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, said Sunday that claims he made inappropriate payments to his sister's company for work never performed were untrue and made by a felon trying to get a reduced sentence.

Steele paid more than $37,000 to a Maryland company run by his sister, Monica Turner, for work related to his unsuccessful 2006 Senate campaign. If she was not reimbursed, both he and his sister would be violating campaign finance laws, said Steele.

"It was a legitimate reimbursement of expenses," Steele said on ABC's "This Week."

Steele became the first black national chairman in the RNC's history last month. He was the first black candidate elected to statewide office in Maryland in 2002, when he became lieutenant governor, and was chairman of the Maryland Republican Party and then chairman of GOPAC, an organization that recruits and trains Republican political candidates.

Steele's former finance chairman, Alan B. Fabian, claimed to federal prosecutors that Steele made the payment to the company, which was then out of business, as Fabian was seeking leniency on unrelated fraud charges, The Washington Post reported Saturday. Prosecutors gave Fabian no credit for cooperation when he was sentenced in October, the newspaper said.

The charges were made in a confidential sentencing memorandum sent by the U.S. Attorney's office in Maryland inadvertently along with other documents requested by the Post.

In addition to the payment to Steele's sister, Fabian alleged that the candidate used money from his state campaign improperly, that Steele paid $75,000 from the state campaign to a law firm for work that was never performed, and that he or an aide transferred more than $500,000 in campaign cash from one bank to another without authorization.

Requests for comment Sunday from the Justice Department in Washington, the U.S. attorney's office in Baltimore and Fabian's attorney, James Wyda, were not immediately returned.

"All the allegations from this convicted felon are completely false," Steele spokesman Curt Anderson told The Associated Press on Sunday. Asked whether Steele was being investigated, Anderson said: "Some fed agents had a brief conversation with his sister. That's all there is."

As for claims that his sister's company was out of business when the payment was made, Steele told ABC: "What I do know about is the fact that, as she understood it, the company was still in existence. Her lawyers were _ were telling her they were in the process of dissolving the company."

Anderson said the questioned transactions were fully disclosed, completely proper and in full compliance with all state and federal laws.

"It's going to take a lot more than this foolishness to slow Chairman Steele down as he begins the hard work of reviving the Republican Party," Anderson said.

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) chairs the Senate Rules Committee, but she’s also a Cardinal. She is currently chairwoman of the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies subcommittee, but until last year was for six years the top Democrat on the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies (or “Milcon”) sub-committee, where she may have directed more than $1 billion to companies controlled by her husband.

If the inferences finally coming out about what she did while on Milcon prove true, she may be on the way to morphing from a respected senior Democrat into another poster child for congressional corruption.

The problems stem from her subcommittee activities from 2001 to late 2005, when she quit. During that period the public record suggests she knowingly took part in decisions that eventually put millions of dollars into her husband’s pocket — the classic conflict of interest that exploited her position and power to channel money to her husband’s companies.

Hmmmm... That makes $37,000 to your sister for work she actually did, pale in comparison to being directly involved in handing your husband millions in taxpayer money, doesn't it?
