Wild-Eyed and Bats**T Crazy Are the New Black- Bachmann’s Legal Woes Continue to Grow
Bachmann recently “retired” from Congress, but in reality she quit because the criminal investigations were closing in on her. This is the first time Marcus Bachmann has been named in reports as part of an investigation. The shenanigans of her failed presidential campaign are what the Department of Justice is looking into, and they are also the subject of investigations in Iowa, an FBI investigation, and a House Ethics Committee investigation.
The Iowa and FBI investigations involve under the table payments that her campaign made to state Sen. Kent Sorenson in exchange for his support and help in the 2012 Iowa caucuses. The House Ethics Committee is investigating Bachmann’s potential misuse of staff and campaign finances to promote her poorly selling biography Core of Conviction. Irony Alert! Looks like she might have jumped the gun on that book.
The DOJ investigation stems from information obtained in the FBI investigation that appears to show the Bachmann’s violating at least 11 election laws by coordinating their campaign with a super PAC.
