Cuccinelli: Still Hedging His Vets 0

The U. S. Navy Vets charity, which appears to be fraudulent, appears to have disappeared in all but name. (Details at the link below.)

Bobby Thompson, the “founder,” has disappeared (Fiji, anyone?). The Roanoke Times reports that the only one of the listed 85 board members to be found has resigned, and the outfit’s Ohio lawyers are petitioning to be released from representing it (once a court proceeding starts, lawyers who are on record as representing a client usually cannot just quit, because it often means the court proceeding must be delayed so the new lawyers can get up to speed).

Even the telemarketers have jumped ship.

Every other Virginia politician fooled by this outfit has given his or her U. S. Navy Vets campaign contribution to charities known to be legit, given that the contributions were likely made with funds donated to help veterans, not to help political campaigns.

Everyone except the Attorney General, charged with enforcing the law:

Cuccinelli’s political director, Noah Wall, said last month that the contributions from Thompson to the attorney general were being put in a restricted account and would be donated to veterans groups if funds were misappropriated. Wall also said he spoke to Thompson by phone on June 14 but did not find out where Thompson was at the time.

Wonder what he intends to do with the interest on that escrow account.

Kook-kook-a-choo.
