Yeah, that's a poser - unless the NRCC does its sums on the backs of paper bags ...
Why not? Because sometimes God is good to us.
Structuring is when you repeatedly make transactions less then $10,000 in a bid to make the transaction not reported to the IRS(or so I am led to believe). It looks like the Republican guy just committed out and out fraud.
This is hilarious. Even the staunchest billionaire for Bush is going to have trouble donating to an organization that has a history of stealing money. Remember, these Republican donors have a very real expectation of returns on their bribery investment, and this sort of shit just screws up the entire politician bribery system.
I knew we had an Enron Presidency. But it looks like we have an Enron Congress too. Just watch Bush veto the Penetrate America Act over telecom immunity and fiercely call on Congress to give him a bill with it. Even the people on his side will become unresponsive with the amount of scandal plaguing them.
And spending 1/3rd COH to support a crazy dairy millionaire that has run for office in Illinois 4 times and LOST 4 times. Sit back and enjoy.
"How come, the Feds didn't have a clue that this GOP fella took $1 million out of the NRCC? But they busted Spitzer in less than a month... That sure is a head scratcher..."
-Two reasons:
1) IOKIYAR.
2) Banking by itself is BORING, but banking + SEX (especially bareback sex)= YEEEE HAWWWW! (also known as stimulus package)

Doug Alder,
Good article. Should be read by all. People don't get exposed for this stuff without a reason, and 200 billion dollars in giveaways to banks is a pretty good reason. I think we just guaranteed the next Great Depression. The rich will have their picking's of the slaves when nobody can afford to eat.
Admiral Komack at 12:04 pm - you are right on the money and funny, too!
How is everyone? OK, I hope, in the face of our Bush-itty economy and the media circus about Hill and Barack.
Gotta agree that the Spitzer take-down has a whiff of DOJ hit job around it.
Just read today that Miami has the highest rate of inflation of 14 major US cities in the last year. I live across the bay from that crazy city, and confirm it's all true.
JOY!
I second the recommendation: Read that Greg Palast article for which Dave Alder provided a link.
These stupid, greedy bastards are going to drive this country to a bloody revolution. Maybe they can keep the lid on it for a while, with the burgeoning security state, enough Blackwater mercenaries, and the routine employment of "non-lethal" weaponry on a desperate citizenry.
But even that won't save them, in the end. God help us all.

-Thank you, thank you very much. 
Concurring with Greg Palast's article.
Take it one level deeper.
Spitz was fornicating LONG before he was busted this time. Spitz was fighting Wall Street for a long time, before his bust, too.
The Fed Prosecuters had WIRETAPPED his ass long ago, when he began to threaten The Wall.
Illegally wiretapped his ass, no doubt.
N the day HE goes cuffed, Bernanke gives up $300 Bil to a broken Carlyle and others who rep for this admin, and all the 1%'ers.
Think FISA ain't real important?
What they did to Spitz, transgressions aside, is akin to Hoover minin info, and holding it, to use against folks when it best suits him.
N YOU THE PEOPLE, are in the sights of the 1%.
So they mine data, and hold it, and use it with it best suits them.
If yer not guilty, they can make it up, and frame ya, anyways.
FISA. It's NOT just for right and wrong anymore.
It's for your life.
Harumph.
That Palast article is brilliant but the parallel is even closer. Bankers are doing to borrowers and each other what Spitzer was doing with prostitutes.
Bareback banking. Spread the meme.
I seem to remember the gay community recently made public-service videos warning against bareback sex.
Anyone want to do a version with the roughest of streetcorner hustler telling the camera that even he has more sense than bankers, post it on YouTube?
prof fate the security state will drive the nation to armed revolution faster...the tighter they grip the faster things will devolve.
