Statesman: Former Bush adviser says GOP political action committee broke laws
That headline pretty much says it all. But here's some more just to rub it in:
Trevor Potter, a Washington lawyer with ties to former President George H.W. Bush and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., appeared on behalf of the Democratic candidates.
Potter testified that Ceverha should have reported the corporate money it spent on the 2002 elections and disputed whether the state election laws are unconstitutional because they are vague.
He also said the political action committee's $190,000 contribution to the Republican National Committee raised questions about whether the corporate money was laundered into noncorporate donations for Texas candidates.
Lawyers for Ceverha are expected to counter this week with their own campaign finance expert.
And he'd better be a good one, too.
Incidentally, it is the most wonderful time of the year - Rodeo Time! And tomorrow is Texas Independence Day!
