I wonder is this to do with the Romney campaign or a house or senate race? I am hoping it's something to do with the Romney campaign. 'well funded' leads me to think it is something to do with Romney but there are some senate seats that are well funded as well so who knows.

My brain is stirring with what it could be. Maybe accepting foreign money? Something to do with Romney's tax returns? Paying off election officials to turn votes, who knows. I am very excited and will be watching the news!

Poster can you at least say if it has to do with Romney or a senate or house campaign?

that a military action has already taken place and that's why President O wasn't "present" at the first debate? Perhaps it was that night? Gotta be something to do with Libya.

Steve works in the Justice system in Nebraska
The story will get play in Iowa and Nebraska
This story probably won't go national (though I wonder...)
The person being investigated is highly funded Congressman or Senator

Conclusions:
1. Highly funded Congressman or Senator rules out everyone except Fischer and King
2. Since Omaha Steve is based in NE, and his access to information is limited to that state, we can probably rule out Steven King's Iowa house seat.
3. This leaves Deb Fischer, who I hear is involved in some sort of land grab scandal (a dirty little business), that as a result, Kerrey is gaining on her like white on rice.


Nebraska Senate candidate Deb Fischer's unscrupulous land grab
October 15, 2012 By: Julie Driscoll
http://www.examiner.com/article/nebraska-senate-candidate-deb-fischer-s-unscrupulous-land-grab


"Fourteen years after their hard-fought battle to regain rights to their own land, Les and Betty Kime passed away, and the heirs of Les and Betty Kime decide to sell the ranch to the Nebraska Game and Parks Department, in the hope that the beauty of the area could be enjoyed by all Nebraskans. The Nebraska Game and Parks Department turned to the Nebraska Environmental Trust for funding - and it was then that Deb Fischer made her move, in a last-ditch effort to acquire land that she had attempted to literally steal from an elderly couple a decade and a half earlier. Deb Fischer decides to introduce legislation in Nebraska to strip the Nebraska Environmental Trust of more than half of its revenue, Bill LB229. She pushed it through, and it passed last year. End result: No bucks, no Kime land deal. And something else: No disclosure."

Why don't you just call every (only 7 of them) Republican running for Congress in Ne & Ia. Tell them your a blogger doing background and want their side on a story . Ask if the campaign is going to be sued in civil court. The one that has a hard time going on the record with a "NO" is your winner. Post your info and I'll confirm or deny.

Eric Holder is involved as well. It is not just campaign irregularities, but absolute, stunning financial manipulation that approaches the stratospheric neighborhood of Bernie Madoff. I myself knew this was coming down the pike over 2 months ago myself!

Steve is definitely right. Listen to him.

If it can, you know that they'll try as hard as they can.

The campaign is trying to settle out of court with a nondisclosure stipulation attached. This isn't just going away.

Several people on the DU know what is going on here too.

There are a couple clues on other posts.

I'm not commenting until it breaks on the media. I don't have the convenience being anonymous on DU to keep from getting sued like most have.

132. I assume this about something else (not the Allred thing)

because you said "A well funded campaign broke a law. A law rarely broken by a campaign. They have the goods on this. Sharks are closing in."

Still curious, however.

135. Does this story have anything to do with grazing cattle at government expense and land encroachment?

Just wondering. Not necessarily thinking of anyone specific.

146. John Ewing v Lee Terry
Sun Oct 28, 2012, 09:02 PM
Oct 2012

Despite being outspent 5-1 Democratic Congressional hopeful John Ewing tells Nebraska Watchdog he “got hot at the right time.”

Part of that heat a decision by the Omaha World-Herald endorsing Ewing over 7 term incumbent Republican Lee Terry.

John Ewing

In its endorsement the newspaper accused Terry of trumping up his TV ads, making Terry guilty of “unseemly behavior.”

Ewing’s campaign insists the race is close although Terry has spent $1.6 million compared to Ewing’s $309,000.

But as of September 30 Ewing had narrowed the cash-on-hand margin. Terry reported $276,000 in the bank while Ewing showed $136,000.

Last month Ewing trailed Terry by 13 points in a World-Herald poll. Ewing says he’s now down by four.

Like 2 weeks too long. What good is it going to do if released only days before the election?

What is with all this secrecy? Why can't you simply tell us what is going on. I cannot think of a single reason why you should be so deceptive. What is the point? This has the taste of self-service. Maybe I'm missing something. If I am...sorry.

If you want to preserve a modicum of credibility, just post what you know (or think you know). In the end, even if it doesn't actually happen, you'll look better than you do under the current circumstances.
