Rep. Michele Bachmann has found herself tangled in an investigation by the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) for allegations of improperly transferring campaign funds.

She barely won her district in '12.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

Who's fault is that? She knew she was going to be a big target for the Rats in that election just like in '10. Making an absurd, clumsy, far fetched run for the WH probably wasn't all that great a move. If you can't get elected Gov or Senator in your own state, why in the hell would you think running for POTUS is prudent? She is a clown.

This is a non-story at the moment imo. She is a Tea Party Rep. and if the R's on the panel allow this to go to an actual Ethics Committee investigation then it might be.
I'm all for corrupt officials being taken down, but I am also for R's having each others backs. We'll see.
Minnesota Congress woman Bachmann was an early favorite in the 2012 GOP presidential primaries (won the Iowa straw poll), but failed to gain traction after that.
Unlike some other contenders, she got out of the race once her funding dried up and wasn't petulant *cough* Newt Gingrich *cough* about losing.
She's an attractive female social conservative which means she draws a lot of negative attention from the left.
Oh come on, she has been her own worst enemy. She is also a liar. When busted she fails to own up. Just last week she was caught lying and fleeing from questioning about it. You all don't remember the whole "Guardisil made a girl retarded" crap she kept on and on about during the primaries? I do. She did do some damage in the primaries and one reason we are stuck with 0bama for another term. If she's done something that crosses the line she is not above reproach.
