Tea Party darling Michele Bachmann disappears millions, FEC at the door

[JohnnyApplesack]

Former Minnesota congresswoman and Tea Party darling Michele Bachmann may no longer grab headlines for her wacky floor speeches, but that doesn’t mean federal elections officials have forgotten about her — or the more than $1 million in campaign cash they say is now mysteriously missing.

According to a notice from the Federal Elections Commission, it appears that while auditing Bachman’s congressional campaign committee, federal officials noticed that the ex-House member’s 2012 campaign went from having over $1.7 million on hand in October 2016 to reporting only $2,619 in December 2016. The letter was first reported by the Center for Public Integrity’s Carrie Levin. According to Levin, Bachmann’s committee treasurer claimed on Monday that the more than $1 million missing is merely a discrepancy due to a “mistake in using the filing software.”

But this is hardly the first time Bachmann has come under intense scrutiny over her use of campaign cash.

During her short-lived 2012 presidential run, Bachman came under investigation by the Federal Election Commission, House Ethics Committee and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for violating campaign finance laws. Bachman was even under investigation by the Urbandale, Iowa, police department for the theft of an email list, according to the nonpartisan watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

I did not read the link....So what happened in all these investigations?...was she ever indicted for anything? if not then there is a pattern here that suggests these are politically motivated.

So that's what happened in those investigations? And while I appreciate a good dodge as much as the next guy, that just doesn't make the cut.
