Luis Toro of Colorado Ethics Watch has started a site to collect campaign mailers. It's called Colorado Political Junk Mail. Carrigan's mailer would be a prime candidate for this.
Scan it and post it first, then recycle it!
No one would ever say pols is biased in the DA race. Anything that makes beth look bad goes on the front page. But Jasons well documented look at Carrigan"'s dark money scheme languishes where few can read it.
Perhaps Mr. Carrigan shares a level of integrity with Secretary Clinton, and this donation will affect his judgment and performance no more than the many contributions to her campaign and the PACs that support it does hers.
If I've understood correctly, money of this magnitude from donors is undesirable, but it is hardly corrupting.
The question before the house is journalistic ethics, not legal ones. As to corrruption, what exactly could a DA do for an ambulance chaser like Azar?
Why would Pols note a non-story? So some guy you say Carrigan couldn't do anything for gave some money in support of his campaign and didn't feel like explaining himself. If we accept that passing large sums through back channels to benefit campaigns isn't indicative of anything other than genuine support, how is “Azar supports Carrigan” worthy of the front page?
Jason suggests it might be a about buying influence, which would be a story, but large donations from parties who might have particular policy interests don't do that, right?
If it's a non story, why are you spinning so desperately to protect your boy Carrigan? 50 grand in dark money, maybe the readers should see it and make up their own minds. On the other hand, give me $50,000 and I'll stop talking about it. Can you run that by your dark money boys for me, Sudafed?
I have literally no idea who Carrigan is beyond what I've read here. Or McCann or the other guy, for that matter.
My reason for posting in this thread is that I had grown to understand from discussions about the millions of dollars in donations from Wall Street folks to the Clinton campaign, often in amounts much greater than $50,000, and likely millions more to the multiple PACs supporting her, that this sort of money doesn't affect policy. In other words, I don't understand why you think dark money donations from parties with an agenda affect Carrigan, who you don’t support, but not Clinton, who you do. I've been writing here only to call you a hypocrite. Money corrupts or it doesn't.
So, you admit you were lying through your teeth. Good to know, Sudafed. And thanks for drawing attention to the forbidden post
