Corrupt Rand Paul's Friend in Trouble

Quote:A close confidant of Sen. Rand Paul was indicted Wednesday for an alleged conspiracy to bribe an Iowa state senator in 2011 to shift allegiances to Paul’s father, Ron, then a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/rand-paul-2016-jesse-benton-super-pac-121034.html The Paul Crime Family strikes again. I'm sure Rand and his (quickly decreasing) fans will justify this because Ayn Rand never said it was bad.

Ron Paul fans know Jesse Benton is a ***** moron. He's married to Rand's sister. He was a complete failure of a campaign manager. I'm not really surprised he did this. His only job was being his Father-in-law's campaign manager and he tried to convert that into another gig.
That said, are we going to crucify Rand for something his brother-in-law did 4 years ago for another man's campaign? ![[Image: ulVdgX6.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/ulVdgX6.jpg) ![[Image: 4CV0TeR.png]](https://i.imgur.com/4CV0TeR.png)

The only reason this thread was made is because he was upset I made a pp thread. Guess he thought this would bother me lol

Saying "another man" when we're talking about an individual's dad is more than a little bit obfuscatory, don't you think? Also, given that Rand has apparently told Mr. Benton he plans to "stand with him", yes, I believe we can effectively link Rand Paul to the manager of his super PAC.

Yeah I'm crazy like that, posting about stuff like pertinent news. But thanks for the 2012 update. Rand's cousins husband will have to answer for anything he pulled back in 2012.

Rand Paul's publicity stunts and a series of misleading videos from a smear group aren't my idea of "pertinent news" but ok. It's actually his niece's husband. And if he was paying people off to endorse Rand's daddy in 2012, and has been raising money for him for 2016, it's hardly out of the question that he hasn't done or planned to do the same this time around. Unlike your worthless daily Planned Parenthood posts, this is very much "pertinent news".

Are they the head of their Super PACs and have they been indicted for shady campaign dealings involving bribery? I am often one to take the stance of another man's sins should not reflect on the candidate, but Paul is standing with him through this and keeping him in a position where the same sort of dealings would be coming from if they were to take place. I'm not saying this Benton dude is guilty of anything, but if there was enough for an indictment and Paul is still keeping him in the same position it does throw some ethical questions his way.
