Rudy Giuliani has corrupt-in-too-many-ways-to-count Bernie Kerik. And accused molester Monsignor Alan Placa. And Thomas Ravenel of the cocaine charges.
John McCain has Bob Allen, the Florida state representative apparently given to offering oral sex in restrooms.
Now it looks like Romney wants in on the competition over who has the most corrupt or embarrassing supporters.
A federal grand jury indicted a corporate executive who allegedly ran a scheme to make $32 million in false purchases of computer equipment, spending the money instead on beach real estate and private jet travel, prosecutors said Thursday.
Alan B. Fabian, 43, of Cockeysville, is charged in a 23-count indictment with mail fraud, money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice. The grand jury handed up the indictment Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore and it was unsealed Thursday.
At a news conference, U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein called it one of the largest monetary theft cases ever prosecuted in Maryland.
The connection to Romney? According to Chris Cillizza, as of March 13, an Alan Fabian, of Maryland, was one of the "Pioneers" (people who raised $100,000 for the Bush campaign) who had signed on with Romney. So now we know where some of Romney's money has been coming from.
