Republican embezzling funds from

…his own party!

[quote=“Politico”]The National Republican Congressional Committee said Thursday that its former treasurer, Christopher J. Ward, may have embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from the committee, but GOP sources said the total lost by the NRCC and other Republican committees could be as high as $1 million.

The NRCC said that Ward made “several hundred thousand dollars in unauthorized transfers of NRCC funds to outside committees whose bank accounts he had access to, including joint fundraising committees in which the NRCC participated. He also appears to have made subsequent transfers of several hundred thousand dollars in funds from those outside committees to what appear to be his personal and business bank accounts.”[/quote]

I don’t know… maybe it’s not really newsworthy. A bit novel though, cannibalizing the thievery. :laughing:
