Kentucky GOP official indicted

Another scandal in the Republican Party of Kentucky??? And just when they needed it least???

Jesse Benton was a campaign manager for Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, and now he's managing the campaign of Mike Harmon, Republican candidate for Kentucky Auditor. Now Benton and 2 other GOP mucketymucks have been indicted by a federal grand jury for actions during the 2012 presidential campaign of Rand Paul's daddy, Ron Paul. Benton is charged with conspiracy and other misdeeds connected to the alleged filing of false campaign finance records. The indictment says a Republican legislator in Iowa threw his support behind Ron Paul following an exchange of money involving Benton.

The party that The Media thinks is owed control of all of Kentucky government strikes again.
