It might be hard to imagine after last weeks GOP presidential slugfest, but there was a time not too long ago when a group headed by Mitt Romney quietlyand a judge says illegallyhelped Rick Perrys political career in Texas and set the stage for his new nemesis to rise on the national stage.
Known mostly by Texas political insiders, the allegations gleaned from court files have mostly escaped national attention as Romney and Perry quickly transform the 2012 GOP presidential nomination into an intense two-man race that has left other contenders like Michele Bachmann and Jon Huntsman in the rearview mirror.
And what hasnt emerged before are court files reviewed by The Daily Beast stating that Romney was personally aware of the origins of the $1 million donation from a Texas homebuilder at the heart of the controversy, and that he discussed it with Perrys campaign aides.
