If That's The Best Fabian Can Do ...

| | Comments (0) |

Got another defensive press release from California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez's office today, this one from a tax expert purporting to show that Nunez's money-laundering racket charitable efforts are on the up and up:

"Clearly, Speaker Nunez is involved in community charity events, as are virtually all political figures at the local, state or national level. The real question is whether the events truly benefited the children and the community. If the facts bear that out, then the IRS is unlikely to have a concern."

Translation: "If Nunez's efforts were legal, then he didn't break the law!"

Sounds pretty equivocal to me ...
