Did I somehow miss the latest Michelle "crazyeyes" Bachmann thread?

Bachmann strikes again..

Michelle Bachmann stiffs her campaign staff, they retaliate by ratting to the feds

Senior campaign staffers who worked for Michelle Bachmann in the 2012 race say that she's refused to pay them unless they sign an NDA promising not to disclose any criminal and unethical activity they witnessed on the campaign. Now it seems that some are fed up with dickering with Bachmann for what they're owed, and are just going to the feds with their tales of corruption and crime.

Wait.. What? She wanted staffers to sign an NDA promising not to disclose any criminal or unethical activity during her campaign? Meanwhile criminal investigations into the campaign are ongoing.

I'll believe it when I see a photocopy of the NDA on the Smoking Gun.

Somebody had to save a copy.

They should have signed, got the money then gone to the feds. An NDA telling you not to disclose criminal acts has to be unenforceable in law.

One must assume that anyone working for Mrs. Bachmann isn't all that right in the head in the first place.

 

[CHNOPS]

If loving her is wrong, I don't want to be right.

SOMEONE'S got to do what her gay husband isn't.

No, I don't think you missed the thread.

But God told her to run for President. Surely God in His infinite wisdom would not tell a liar and a cheat to run for President of the good old US of A.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Sounds like BS but maybe.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Bachmann made illegal campaign payments


Bonus! The recipient took all her money then stabbed her in the back to support Ron Paul!

Absolutely no honor among thieves nowadays!

I would think so. An NDA for a crime I would think would be conspiracy, obstruction of justice and makes you an accessory after the fact if you sign it and keep quiet. Requiring it signed to get paid I would think is blackmail or extortion. Basically an illegal contract to commit a crime. I'm pretty sure a contract to commit a crime isn't enforceable.
Yeah, they should have signed it then gone to the Feds so Bachmann could get hit with even more criminal charges.

eh.. i missed it

 

[about_average]

[Peter Waldron, a widely known evangelist enlisted by the Bachmann campaign for outreach to Christian conservatives], formerly Bachmann's national field coordinator, is accusing the campaign of improperly dipping into money from MichelePAC to pay longtime fundraising consultant Guy Short for presidential campaign work he performed in the critical final weeks ahead of Iowa's caucuses last year

You gotta love it. An evangelical Christian has gone to the feds, not because of observed criminal and/or unethical activities, but because he didn't get paid and has the goods on Bachmann's campaign.
