Like all things Romney, the letter of the law was stretched to the breaking point according to many journalists during both the GOP primary and the election.
Three of Mitt Romney's decades long associates made $Millions from his campaign. Was it all legal?
It would take a team of Federal Election Committee FEC, IRS, and DOJ professionals to sort it all out, but will they? For that matter, to be all fair and balanced, will they do the same for the Obama campaign and it's attendent Super PACS?
I think it is important that they do. This was the first year the new "let the money fly" policies, unleashed by the unfortunate SCOTUS Citizens United, took place.
Unless and until the IRS and DOJ do some serious accounting into both campaigns, how will we know that both sides followed the letter of the law and/or find conflicts of interest in order to tweek Citizens United policies if needed?
And if they don't take both campaigns' finances apart, checking each and every jot and tittle, how will any discrepancies be found and addressed before 2014 and 2016?
Can we, the citizens, demand an accounting?
The following is a cursory compilation of the questions other investigative journalists are asking about how the Romney Campaign and its Super PAC money flowed.
I thought it might be helpful to put them under one roof for others interested in fair and just elections, as well as making sure that Citizens United hasn't unleashed a new, lower set of "worst campaign financing" practices that will be used to enrich grifters instead of improving the democratic process.
