SarahPAC blames lawyer
Sarah Palin’s political action committee made illegal contributions, new letters from the Federal Election Commission show.
SarahPAC, the former Alaska governor’s conduit for campaign contributions, illegally gave larger contributions than allowed under federal law to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), her former running mate, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). Political action committees are allowed to give only $2,400 per election cycle to candidates if they have fewer than 51 donors and are donating to fewer than five candidates; SarahPAC gave $5,000 each. Her committee says it’s already resolved the errant donations.
The Federal Election Commission is seeking details on why SarahPAC violated federal election law, as well as details on several other inconsistencies. The Commission sent a five page letter to SarahPAC Aug. 19, according to the Anchorage Daily News’ Lisa Demer.
