we did a full lexisnexis search, database search on monday, and found the delaware corp. papers. i called the delaware secretary of state s office. i ordered the incorporation and dissolution papers, saw the dates, saw the name cameron casey, and was able to sort of piece what we ve gotten so far together. is there any evidence that this company ever did anything other than form, give a million dollars to mitt romney, and disband? is there any evidence they did anything else? not in the public record. and that s precisely the question. and that s why there s going to be calls tomorrow from some campaign finance reform groups for a justice department and federal election commission investigation into this. look, it is a federal crime to give money in the name of another. that s called a straw donation. the justice department has made vigorous prosecutions of this over the years. this is sort of can be a form of this.
