Here we go again....

Not sure what to think of this one. They say they can prove that he took double money on 27 flights, but I really doubt that's the case. They also say that the second payments went to him directly. But they again quote a disgruntled former staffer -- not Dondero.

I'm not even giving them traffic. Is the disgruntled former staffer Dondero?

Well there's half of the answer I was hoping for... So, who is it?
Zzzzz...campaign's almost over, last chance at media attention for this bitter staffer. Shameful.
They don't realize he initially paid with his own money because he gets frequent flyer miles and bumps to first class so the campaign pays back what he personally funded.
Non issue is non issue.
Welcome to the USSA.
America, the Doctor will free you now.
Some guy that runs/ran an org that Ron started up under the FREE umbrella to push liberty legislation.
Who cares?

It's called grasping at straws...the media has nothing left to attack Paul on so they embellish any little thing...I haven't read the article but from what I know, there is probable some reasonable explanation for the costs etc...
edit: Ok, I read the story: so the logic goes: Ron books a flight, gets reimbursed out of his House budget but also then submits an expense report to Mr. James to get another reimbursement. So in fact he is being paid to fly?
So I doubt that Paul is personally in charge of submitting expense reports etc...Therefore, the most likely explanation is an incompetent accountant/treasurer, namely his daughter, who submits expensing without paying attention to the flights etc...or the more sinster explanation deliberate fraud. I would lean towards incompetence. She should be fired but she's s family and that's the trouble with using family to do business work...oh well, Ron should just reimburse James and clear up the mistake.

This has already been disproven. Remember that piece on MSNBC that supported Ron Paul on this issue? Spread that around.
