Groups Urge Probe Of Ashcroft's '00 Bid

Five public interest groups have asked the Justice Department to
appoint a special counsel to open a criminal investigation of election
law violations allegedly committed by Attorney General John D.
Ashcroft's campaign during his unsuccessful 2000 Senate reelection
campaign.
In a letter released yesterday, the groups asked Deputy Attorney
General James Comey to appoint the special counsel, citing the Federal
Election Commission's decision Dec. 12 that Ashcroft's campaign
violated election laws by accepting illegal contributions from a
committee Ashcroft had established to explore running for president.
Garrett M. Lott, treasurer for the two Ashcroft committees, the Spirit
of America PAC and Ashcroft 2000, agreed last month to pay a $37,000
fine for at least four violations of federal campaign law and agreed
"not to contest" the charges.

Is Garrett Lott related to Trent Lott? I'll bet he is.

for accepting an improper 1.7 million gift. Ow ow the pain.
I hope this eventually leads to a relook at the strange co-incidence
that so many of Ashcroft's political enemies died in accidents or
received anthrax letters. See http://mindprod.com/asbestos.html
