Iowa Republican admits being bribed to endorse Ron Paul

[Bacon King]

A few things:

1. This guy Sorenson resigned from the Iowa State Senate when its ethics committee released a 560-page report on how he violated ethics laws by concealing the fact that he was paid a lot of money by Michelle Bachmann's campaign.

2. He got the Paul campaign money in two ways. There was a $25,000 check made out to his wife from the company of a Paul staffer's wife, and there were several monthly payments of $8,000 that the Paul campaign gave to a film company which then routed it through a second company that then wired it to Sorenson.

3. The plea bargain says his wife won't get charged so that's probably why he took it

4. People from Bachmann's camp called Sorenson out on taking bribe money literally the same day he switched support, and there are apparently some incriminating emails in which Sorenson was negotiating his "salary" with an intermediary for the Paul campaign
