Will Crabgate Block Johnny Stephen/John E. Sununu Candidacies?

( - promoted by Dean Barker)

The thing about DC corruption scandals is that their tentacles are so long and so many.

A friend just reminded me of this prior post from Dean about Todd Boulanger and Johnny Stephen:

Republican 1st District U.S. House candidate John Stephen will meet potential Washington-based supporters at a meet-and-greet in the nation's capital tonight.
Invitations sent by lobbyist Todd Boulanger, a former associate of Jack Abramoff, say, "Come hear first-hand why John will be the winner of the September 9 primary and go on to defeat Porter (sic)," referring to Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter.

So, out of curiouso, I checked Boulanger's 2008 cycle contributions on opensecrets, and guess what:

BOULANGER, TODD A
WASHINGTON,DC 20003 CASSIDY & ASSOCIATES/SENIOR VICE PR 5/9/07 $500 Sununu, John E (R)
BOULANGER, TODD A
WASHINGTON,DC 20003 CASSIDY & ASSOCIATES/SENIOR VICE PR 6/18/08 $500 Sununu, John E (R)
BOULANGER, TODD A
WASHINGTON,DC 20003 CASSIDY & ASSOCIATES/SENIOR VICE PR 2/1/08 $500 Sununu, John E (R)

Since John E. has money left in his campaign account, maybe he should give the money to charity?

But really, why were these guys taking money from someone so closely linked to Jack Abramoff?

Interesting (0.00 / 0)
Sununu was in a tough reelection battle, so I can understand the relative lack of scrutiny. How tainted was Boulanger in 2008?


Scrutiny? You're kidding, right? n/t (0.00 / 0)
