Christine O'Donnell: FBI Investigation a Ridiculous Thuggish Rumor

Failed Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell denied Thursday that she misused campaign funds, telling Fox News that an apparent criminal investigation into her spending is yet another attempt to tarnish the Tea Party movement.

"It appears that this is just the same thug tactics that they've been using for months to discredit this anti-establishment movement," O'Donnell said.

The Delaware Republican defended herself after it was revealed that federal authorities have launched the probe to determine whether she broke the law by using campaign money to pay personal expenses. On Wednesday, a person familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press that it was being conducted. The case, which has been assigned to two federal prosecutors and two FBI agents in Delaware, has not been brought before a grand jury.

But O'Donnell told Fox News it was "awfully suspicious" for a reporter to be tipped off to the probe before anybody on her campaign team. She described the claim as "trumped-up," suggesting it stemmed from an earlier complaint filed by watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

"There's never been any misappropriation or misuse of campaign funds," O'Donnell said, suggesting the accusations were being driven by political opponents. READ MORE...

NOTE- The fact that 'CREW' is behind this makes it instantly NOT credible. The biggest scumbag in the world, the communist George Soros, funds 'CREW.' Why bother reading any further. When organizations like Media Matters, Centers for American Progress, CREW and Moveon.org lie 95% of the time, why would anyone believe this story?

Progressives are domestic terrorists and shouldn't be trusted.
