FBI has now been given sworn testimony and documents alleging Bachmann approved secret payments
While Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was announcing her retirement to much fanfare in the media, according to information given exclusively to Take Action News, the FBI was busy collecting potentially damaging evidence against her from two former campaign aides.
According to sources close to the criminal investigation of Bachmann's presidential campaign, the FBI has now been given sworn testimony and documents alleging Bachmann approved secret payments to Iowa state Senator Kent Sorenson in exchange for his help and support in that state's 2012 Presidential caucuses. Ethics rules explicitly prohibit Iowa lawmakers from accepting payments from Presidential campaigns or PACs. Investigation sources tell Take Action News the FBI is examining money laundering allegations against Bachmann, as well as possible wire fraud and mail fraud.
As we detailed on my nationally syndicated radio and YouTube show Take Action News this past Saturday, the key claims against Bachmann are coming from two of her former campaign insiders -- former Congressional chief of staff Andy Parrish and former national field coordinator Pete Waldron. Waldron has filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission, alleging the payments to State Senator Sorenson were improper. Parrish has provided an affidavit to investigators, confirming Bachmann knew of and approved the payments.

Sorry, that's all I've got.

While he was plotting to get 4 Americans killed in Benghazi, use the IRS to investigate tea party groups and intimidate the press.

(2,354 posts)- Marcusss' clinic gets more than $137,000 in Medicaid each year, even though Dr. Bachmann doesn't have a license.
- Marcusss' dad's dairy farm in WI may have been more profitable as a source of Federal Farm subsidy payments than it was as a producing farm.
- Michele and Marcusss took state funding and all the tax breaks coming when they took in 23 foster children.
Hope the I.R.S. doesn't get into trouble for checking in to any of that.
