28. "...some allegations"

Tue Feb 5, 2013, 01:12 PM

Feb 2013

CREW alleges that evidence exists that shows Paul improperly accepted public reimbursement for expenses on 52 occasions. Some of the evidence -- which is meticulously documented in the CREW report -- includes the official U.S. House of Representatives 'Statements of Disbursement", photocopies of Ron Paul's American Express statements, and photocopies of cancelled checks from the Liberty Committee.

Paul's spokesman practically admits some of the allegations may be true, while at the same time trying to dismiss the activity as inconsequential and the investigation of it as petty and partisan. Bullshit.

CREW has a long history of accurately exposing genuine misdeeds by elected public officials. This is more than just "...some allegations."
