Details Emerge on Alleged Embezzlement at NRCC

It appears to be more than they originally thought.

The Politico is reporting that the audit by the NRCC is coming to an end, and they've got some of the details surrounding just what happened:

Christopher J. Ward, the former NRCC treasurer, improperly diverted as much as $725,000 from the committee to himself over a six-year period, according to several GOP insiders.

Ward's alleged improper diversion of NRCC funds began earlier than had previously been reported, with the "unauthorized transfers" starting in 2001, when the NRCC was chaired by Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), the sources said. NRCC officials, including Chairman Tom Cole (Okla.), has stated publicly that Ward began diverting money from the committee sometime in 2003. NRCC officials now believe the transfers started much earlier.

Repubs are truly fair and equal exploiters. It`s hard to watch us Dems be so critical of them. They don`t seem to limit who they steal from. This could be portrayed as a real quality. You think?
