ABC News: Did Romney Break the Law?
Questions about Mitt Romney’s time at Bain Capital have suddenly spiraled into a bigger question that President Obama’s campaign is stoking: Did the candidate commit a crime by making false statements on SEC forms?
<...>
Robert Heim, a lawyer with the SEC from 1993 to 1999, said the confusion could “absolutely” be a problem for Romney.
“I think there is a sharp conflict between what Mitt Romney was saying his role was at Bain during his campaign appearances and what the SEC form that was filed describes his role as,” he said. “Certainly there can be legal consequences if the form that was filed with the SEC was inaccurate in any way.”
“There could be legal issues associated with his campaign forms with the FEC,” Heim added. “If Mitt Romney, in addition to making those statements on the campaign trail, also filed them with the Federal Election Committee, there could potentially be legal issues with his campaign finance disclosures into his employment background.”
