Here is a quote from Jone's earlier post on Harris' "dinners to help constituents." Note she did accept campaign contributions (later returned under a cloud) and Ed Rollins, a venerable republican strategist, quit over this and other issues with her....If the dinners were to get jobs in here district, why accept the shady money?? Looks a lot more like the contractor is trying to get Harris to do something rather than the other way around. Rollins said he finally resigned after Harris' ''story kept changing'' with regard to two high-price dinners she had with subsequently-convicted defense contractor Mitchell Wade, from whom she unwittingly accepted $32,000 in laundered campaign contributions. Rollins said Harris met Wade through convicted bribe-taking congressman Duke Cunningham. Harris has pledged to donate the $32,000 to charity. Message 22623614
