GOP auto dealer indicted for money laundering

Let's play another game of "Guess The Party Affiliation."

In southern California, a car dealer and Republican activist (oops, gave it away!) named Mark Leggio and 3 of his employees have been named in a 37-count indictment for political money laundering.

According to the indictment, Leggio had the employees donate over $50,000 to GOP campaigns, then reimbursed them. Sounds to me like an illegal scheme to evade donation limits.

If the second paragraph didn't give it away, you'd guess by now Leggio is a Republican. The Republicans usually are the ones who control the purse strings and can afford to give this much money to political campaigns, and the Republicans these days also seem to think laws aren't supposed to apply to them, so who'd be surprised?
