Candidate Supported By ACORN-Front Working Families Party Takes the Fifth Over Documents Release

The background:

The suit itself - I’m working to get a copy of it sent to me - alleges that WFP (which is, of course, a front for ACORN) is violating campaign finance laws by having WFP front group Data and Field Services provide “canvassing and other services for [City Council candidate Debi] Rose in her primary campaign against [current Conservative candidate* Ken] Mitchell for which the firm received far less than the market value.”

The documents sought would reveal (possibly) whether the WFP is breaking campaign finance rules by, I guess, giving unreported, undisclosed in-kind (i.e., not monetary, but manhours) campaign donations to the candidate.

The candidate's response:

A City Council hopeful won’t cough up documents related to whether the Working Families Party is scamming the campaign finance system — because the case could involve “criminal liability,” according to documents released yesterday.

Ah.

Moe Lane has some thoughts about how the one-party system -- one party, protected relentlessly by a partisan media -- makes people stupid in their lawlessness.
