An interim federal audit of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's (R-Tex.) principal fundraising committee has found that the group engaged in some inappropriate accounting of receipts and expenditures, prompting it to revise all campaign reports for 2001 and 2002, according to a knowledgeable government official and public records.

The group, Americans for a Republican Majority (ARMPAC), is a giant among committees established by House and Senate lawmakers to finance their own political campaigns and the campaigns of colleagues. Several thousand individual and corporate contributors have given a total of $13.2 million to ARMPAC since 1999; the committee has in turn spent millions of dollars to help DeLay and fellow Republicans win reelection.


DeLay's aides have not detailed what ARMPAC did wrong in its filings to the Federal Election Commission or explained why the group made the revisions this week, before the commission's audit is completed. A spokesman for DeLay, Dan Allen, said yesterday that he could not comment, and Donald McGahn II -- a lawyer for the National Republican Congressional Committee who Allen said is representing ARMPAC -- did not return several telephone calls.

Not surprised at all. DeLay trying to "fix" his audit trail. "Some inappropriate accounting of receipts and expenditures" they say. That's the whole problem, sleaze bag.

1. Yes I shot that convenience store clerk..

... but now I'm coming back to take the bullet out.

I'm sorry, you don't get to "undo" a crime for extra credit.

2. But wait tom delay is "the government"

Or at least he thinks he is. No doubt his friends in high places will let him do over anything, so long as he says he's a believer in God.

3. Tom Delay is their friend..

... until he becomes a liability. He's getting uncomfortably close at this very instant.

That's the nice thing about Machiavellian politicians, they turn on their own without thinking twice :)
