The GOP discovers due process?
Paul Kiel flagged this briefly yesterday. But it’s just too rich for me to pass up.
You know that this guy Alishtari — who gave more than $15,000 to GOP congressional committees — was indicted in federal court in New York on Friday for allegedly attempting to send over $150,000 to Pakistan to be used to fund terrorist training camps in Afghanistan.
Now, the NRCC finally had to give some response yesterday. But it turns out that they’re not going to assume there’s a problem with Mr. Alishtari until this alleged terror financier has had his day in court. “We need to be careful,” said the statement, “not to rush to judgment as the judicial process moves forward.”
If only those guys down in Guantanamo Bay knew about this little known perk of ponying up cash to the GOP.
