Does Congressman-Elect Frank Guinta really think an election will put to rest the fact that he has not explained how $355,000 he gave to his campaign was really his to give?

Mike Brunelle for the Monitor, boldface mine:

Recently, the FEC requested additional copies of the complaint and source materials filed by the New Hampshire Democratic Party. We are complying with this request and will do the same for any future requests that are made. This was not an election year issue. We are committed to ensuring that Granite State citizens are told the truth, that justice is served, and that if Congressman-elect Guinta broke the law, he and anyone else involved is held fully accountable.
...The fact is, we have no idea where this money came from.

...But if the money came from anywhere but Guinta's own savings, then federal law has been violated.

...That is why we will continue to pursue this issue to the fullest extent of the law, or until Guinta releases his bank statements proving that this money was not an illegal campaign contribution, and that he hasn't violated the public trust.

All Frank Guinta needed to do to prove the $355,000 was on the up-and-up was show a simple bank statement.

That he refuses to do shows we may well be heading towards the tragic spectacle of a sitting US Congressman from New Hampshire embroiled in scandal.
