Spotlight On Nancy

Mike

Well-known member
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has directed nearly $100,000 from her political action committee to her husband's real estate and investment firm over the past decade, a practice of paying a spouse with political donations that she supported banning last year.

Financial Leasing Services Inc. (FLS), owned by Paul F. Pelosi, has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting fees from the speaker's "PAC to the Future" over the PAC's nine-year history.

The payments have quadrupled since Mr. Pelosi took over as treasurer of his wife's committee in 2007, Federal Election Commission records show. FLS is on track to take in $48,000 in payments this year alone - eight times as much as it received annually from 2000 to 2005, when the committee was run by another treasurer.

Lawmakers' frequent use of campaign donations to pay relatives emerged as an issue in the 2006 election campaigns, when the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal gave Democrats fodder to criticize Republicans such as former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas and Rep. John T. Doolittle of California for putting their wives on their campaign and PAC payrolls for fundraising work.

Nice post, Mike, but don't expect any reaction from the libs. We've already established on the forum that they won't talk about her honesty.

Surely you don't think Pelosi is the ONLY one doing such?? You don't think any Republicans would do this also do you, or for that matter any politician? :shock: :???:

Yea. She's the only person capable of breaking any rules. :roll:

But don't you see the rules change when it's a Republican?

Newt got railroaded over a book deal and was exonerated after he got kicked out.

Hillary writes a book and nothing is said...................

There's a double standard with the MSM that says:

Republicans =Bad
Democrats=Good

I don't excuse any of them for pulling crap, but when you're the Speaker of the House, you're supposed to be a leader and set examples. She needs to go.
