More Joe Biden Fraud!

Biden's 2008 campaign told: Pay $219K to Treasury

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Election watchdogs have directed Joe Biden's 2008 presidential campaign to pay the U.S Treasury more than $219,000 to resolve issues caused by sloppy bookkeeping and accepting excessive contributions, including a discounted flight on a private jet.

The audit was released Friday by the Federal Election Commission.

It determined that the Biden campaign accepted an improper corporate contribution in the form of a round-trip flight between New Hampshire and Iowa in June 2007 for three people. The Biden campaign paid GEH Air Transportation $7,911 for the first-class airfare, but regulators say the campaign should have paid the charter rate of $34,800.

The FEC also found that the Biden campaign could not document repaying at least $106,000 in donations that were over the limit, and the campaign was ordered to pay the U.S. Treasury more than $85,000 for stale-dated checks.

The Biden campaign also failed to disclose more than $3.7 million in payments and roughly $870,000 in debts.

The audit was conducted in part as a condition of Biden's accepting taxpayer funds for his campaign through the presidential public financing system.

It's okay .. no need to apologize...

The RNC paid for Palin's clothing and grooming expenses for the campaign - and she returned the clothes to the RNC when the campaign was over. As this has all been disclosed, no fraud occurred.

"Some repayment is commonplace after presidential campaign audits and the repayment ordered here is relatively small. Payment is due to the Treasury 30 days after the FEC issues its formal ruling and Biden for President will comply with that," she said Saturday.

Alexander said the campaign raised just over $12 million. And she said that "stale-dated checks" are where someone contributes over the allowed maximum and the campaign sends back refund of the overpayment, but the check is never cashed.

"This is common and obviously not in campaign's control," she said, adding that the excess contributions were less than 1 percent of the money raised.

Cheney did not defraud Halliburton. His retirement benefits were part of his compensation package.

You really are striking out here, dearie.

I wonder if Deanie would say the same of his 401k that Obama and the Unions have their eyes on to make up for the pension shortfall?
