Why is a grand jury investigating Sam Brownback's re-election campaign?
This is
interesting:
A subpoena obtained by The Associated Press shows a federal grand jury is looking into loans made to Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's re-election campaign.
The subpoena orders the executive director of the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission to appear Wednesday in Topeka and to provide documents pertaining to loans Brownback's campaign received in 2013 and 2014.
The only loans listed by the campaign are from Sam Brownback and Lt. Gov.
Jeff Coyler:
Such large loans by candidates to campaigns are uncommon in Kansas, and the pattern of repaying one within days is a highly unusual move that has generated unanswered questions about where Colyer obtained such a large amount of cash.
The governor's office said it was unaware of the investigation. The U.S. attorney's office declined comment.
Given the way Gov. Brownback has financially mismanaged the entire state, it's no wonder they are looking into his own campaign finances.
