Ron Paul Gets Dishonorable Mention from CREW

[potentialeight]

Watchdog Group Gives Ron Paul 'Dishonorable Mention' in Corruption Report - Yahoo! News

According to a story in US News, CREW has previously accused Paul of paying family members to work for him either in his political campaign or various organizations that he has run. This amounted to $304,599 for six family members. According to NBC News, Ron Paul's 2012 campaign chairman and grandson-in-law Jesse Benton hit back, suggesting that payments to Paul relatives accounted for only a fraction of 1 percent of money spent by Paul's political campaigns over the past five years. CREW admitted that Paul employing relatives was perfectly legal and in adherence to congressional rules, but implied that many campaign donors were not aware that Paul relatives were working for Paul and suggesting that constituted an appearance of impropriety.

Are we really to this point?
