Discussion: New Mexico Secretary Of State Resigns Amid Fraud Allegations

Discussion for article #242108

Duran declared her innocence and called it a selective prosecution mounted by a Democratic attorney general.

Yep, because a GOP AG would high five her for the bootstrappiness of her con and then ask for a cut.

It doesn’t stop with her resignation. This will go to trial, unless she strikes a plea bargain.

The resignation is all about trying to contain the damage before Gov. Martinez gets caught in the spray and hurts her chances at being a VP.

There were two reasons Martinez and Duran were elected. Lots of out of State money. Bill Richardson’s blatant corruption.

Stupid Democratic Attorney General! If that was a Republican he would have valued the innate sense of entrepreneurship displayed by Ms. Duran in running her office, but nooooooooo, it’s all “campaign finance law” and “public integrity.”

Pig People!
That’s all I’ve got, just a photo reaction.

Oh, the tragedy! What will we tell the children?

Smart move, with people talking about Benghazi it will hardly be noticed…

The Grumpy Old Party at it’s very finest. Rules for everyone else, no rules for them.
