Pro-Hillary 527 Spokesman On FEC Complaint: "Is It Possible To Quote Me Yawning?"
American Leadership Project spokesman Jason Kinney has responded forcefully to Obama campaign chief counsel Bob Bauer's FEC complaint against the pro-Hillary 527 group.
The complaint alleges that the group is operating illegally as a campaign committee designed to circumvent reporting requirements, in order to fund their huge ad buys against Obama in Indiana and previous primary states -- something the Obama campaign wants to stop.
"He appears to have a gaping double standard for 527 committees that don't purport to benefit his candidate," Kinney says, pointing out that other 527 groups have helped Obama during this season, and Bauer has not filed any legal complaints against them.
And furthermore, Kinney says that before Bauer joined the Obama campaign, he argued that the law permits this kind of activity.
