Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach used a state-issued credit card to pay a $1,000 fine for misleading a court about documents related to a 2016 meeting with Donald Trump.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported Friday that an open records request revealed that the payment was made last year using a state-issued credit card belonging to Craig McCullah, who was serving as deputy assistant secretary of state at the time.

McCullah, who is now seeking the Republican nomination for secretary of state, told the Capital-Journal in an interview that he was not aware that his card had been used to make the payment. He said he was deployed in Ukraine with the Oklahoma Army National Guard at the time of the payment.

"I was out of the country," he said. "I was never told about this."

1. Is Kobach so broke he can't pay a $1000 fine?

You’d think his wealthy benefactors would have ponied up the money for him. This is chump change for the Koch bros.

3. Bull Shit-----------------your a fucking LIAR also.............

Hey Kansas are you not really tired of the fucking corruption from your right wing republicans that have been basically fucking you the taxpayers long enough, I mean sit down in front of the mirror and ask your individual self, what have they ( republicans) really done for the state and the country, after all Kobach was enabling or trying to enable voting restrictions across the country just like they do in Russia if you really think about it and then he bilks you and me a taxpayer and comes with some lame excuse, about a credit card that more than likely said something about State of Kansas on the front of it..................just my guess, since I don't carry around a state credit card...............................


November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

5. Sadly

the law says it had to be paid, whether or not he was allowed to use the credit card he did is another matter
