So other than on Rachel last night
any word on M$Greedia's TV channels re Turtle McConnell's campaign manager Jesse Benton?
DES MOINES, IA (AP) -- A former Iowa lawmaker has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from his switch of support from one Republican presidential candidate to another before the 2012 caucus. The U.S. Department of Justice said Wednesday that former state Sen. Kent Sorenson received "under-the-table payments" when he changed loyalties in the campaign's closing days. Prosecutors didn't say which campaign paid him. Sorenson was state chairman for U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann's campaign beginning in June 2011. He admitted receiving and lying about monthly payments of roughly $8,000 from another campaign from October to December 2011. Six days before the January caucuses, Sorenson declared his support for then-U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.

The court filings did not identify the Paul operative, but in a recording of a phone call posted last year by TheIowaRepublican.com, Sorenson identified him as Dimitri Kesari, then Paul’s deputy national campaign manager. TheIowaRepublican.com and OpenSecrets.org, the Web site of the nonpartisan research group Center for Responsive Politics, also reported last year on emails in which representatives of Paul and Sorenson allegedly discussed his demands for payment.
Paul’s campaign chairman at the time was Jesse Benton, who is now running the re-election bid of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
