FEC: ARMPAC Violated Election Law
by TChris
Tom DeLay should be pleased that fellow scoundrel Karl Rove has been grabbing headlines lately, diverting attention from DeLay’s own woes. DeLay is back in the press, however, as the result of the Abramoff indictment that TalkLeft discussed here and a Federal Election Commission audit.
ARMPAC, Tom DeLay’s political action committee, unlawfully used more “soft money” to pay its 2001-02 administrative expenses than federal law allowed. The accounting shenanigans increased the amount of money the PAC had available to spend on Congressional races in 2002.
The FEC hasn’t decided yet whether to levy a fine against ARMPAC.
