"FOLLOW THE MONEY" IS STILL GOOD ADVICE

UPDATE: Crooks & Liars has the AC360 clip.

Christine O'Donnell's lack of earned income:

O'Donnell reported just $5,800 in earned income between March 2009 and July 2010. ... According to Federal Election Commission data, O'Donnell contributed $3,026 of her own money, or more than half her reported "earned income" to her campaign.

is becoming a VERY serious problem. BuzzFlash found that CREW is going to file an FEC complaint on Monday accusing her of embezzling campaign funds. This, not her experience with Satanism, may be the reason she cancelled her appearances on two Sunday shows. Here's more:

On CNN Friday night, CREW, the nonpartisan Washington ethics watchdog group, announced it will file a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission on Monday charging that Delaware’s new Republican U.S. Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell lied on forms she filed when she launched her candidacy and misappropriated $20,000 in campaign funds from two prior failed runs for the Senate.

On AC360 Friday night, CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan told Anderson Cooper that witnesses had come forward who had firsthand knowledge that O’Donnell had illegally put donated funds to personal use in 2009 and early 2010 when she was not an active candidate for any office:

“It turns out Ms. O’Donnell has treated her campaign funds like they are her very own personal piggy bank. She’s used that money to pay for things like her rent, for gas, meals and even a bowling outing. And that’s just flat-out illegal,” said [Sloan]…

“For example, in 2009, Ms. O’Donnell wasn’t a candidate for anything, yet she had numerous campaign expenses, things like travel and gas, and yet she had no actual campaign,” Sloan said.
