Credit to the RNCC

For reporting fraud on its' books before anyone else found it and reported it.

• The National Republican Congressional Committee announced Friday it has alerted the FBI of possible fraud in its bookkeeping.
• The NRCC is the primary campaign fundraising group working to elect Republicans to seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Politico newspaper reported the possible fraud may involve "a former vendor [which] engaged in fraudulent activity with regard to the committee's financial audit process."

While handing out credit to Republicans, let's note that Rep. Poe (R-TX) is asking questions that need to be asked, even if it is already 3 years after the crime.

• In interviews and her lawsuit against her former employer Kellogg Brown and Root, Jones has said she was drugged and gang-raped by her co-workers on her third night in Iraq. After reporting the incident to KBR, she has said the company confined her to a modified shipping container. According to Jones, Rep. Poe played an instrumental role in winning her release by contacting the State Department, which dispatched agents to her location.

I trust Poe will vote for the upcoming bills on increased contractor oversight. It just gets sillier....now Blackwater is suing its own attorneys.


Update: Mike Conway R-TX deserves serious credit.
