In Part I of this series, RawStory revealed that Tony Krvaric, chair of the San Diego Republican Party and head of the California GOP’s Finance Committee, co-founded an international piracy ring known as Fairlight.

Excerpts from Part II:

<snip> In his blog (conservative activist James) Hartline reports that Fairlight.com's photo archives contains "several pictures of Krvaric involved with some very sickening situations" including one featuring the future GOP chairman for San Diego "posing with a porn star."

Hartline questioned how a recent immigrant with little political experience, rose so quickly through the ranks of the GOP. "Were deals made with law enforcement?" he asked. "There is no way you would get that kind of securities license nor get a U.S. citizenship with that kind of background, and on top of that, move up to the high level in the Republican Party." Hartline predicts the Krvaric story will be "the biggest scandal in the history of San Diego politics," adding on his blog that consequences will be "devastating for Republican candidates and their supporters."

Krvaric’s prior employer, Wachovia, has been implicated in several major financial scandals. Last week, U.S. officials announced an investigation into "the role of Wachovia Corp. in an alleged money laundering scheme involving Mexican and Colombian drug money."

Wachovia is also linked to a growing scandal involving the Republican National Campaign Committee (RNCC) in what may be "the biggest campaign swindle ever reported," according to the Washington Post. The RNCC notified the FBI after finding bookkeeping discrepancies of over a million dollars and evidence that the NRCC’s former treasurer, Christopher Ward, faked audit reports and made hefty unauthorized wire transfers that appear to have ended up in his own bank accounts. Ward, also treasurer for many high-profile Republican candidates and elected officials, wired funds to accounts at various Wachovia branches.

Why is the San Diego GOP keeping a pirate at its helm?

[LTR]

1. Pirates are known to rape and plunder everything they come in contact with

He fits right in.

2. Republican Pirate? That's kind of a redundancy, isn't it?

3. Being a Republican, that should be a plus, right????

6. The GOP site says he does this for big donors:

Today Tony works as a full-service financial consultant for individuals and families who share his values - helping them grow, preserve and distribute their wealth. He lives in the Scripps Ranch area of San Diego with his wife and four children.

4. I'm sorry, but I don't believe there is anything wrong with this.

What he did during high school with an Amiga computer should have no bearing on his current situation. I sure as hell know I'd be out of a job if some of my High School activities were made public.

5. Read Part I. He was involved long after he was out of high school,

as recently as 2004 if you believe the Fairlight cofounder's post.

7. James Hartline is a nutcase

“I am on an important assignment from the Lord in San Diego, California that is going to change this nation. After coming out of over 30 years in homosexuality, and paying the price to be a chosen servant of the Lord, God is raising me up to cause the dismantling of the spirit of homosexuality off of our city and the nation.”

8. mmmm, Wachovia -- where do you bank?
