Feds interview Harris' ex-campaign manager

[DoYouEverWonder]

WASHINGTON - Federal investigators interviewed U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris' former campaign manager as part of an ongoing federal inquiry into her relationship with a convicted defense contractor.

Jim Dornan, who left Harris' Senate campaign in November, spoke to investigators from the FBI and the Defense Department in Washington for about 90 minutes Thursday.

The Justice and Defense departments are examining Harris' dealings with Mitchell Wade, who made illegal campaign contributions to Harris and later asked her to help secure $10-million in federal money for a company project.

They have subpoenaed records from Harris' campaign office and have interviewed at least three former staffers: senior campaign consultant Ed Rollins, congressional chief of staff Fred Asbell and Mona Tate Yost, a congressional aide who later went to work for Wade.

A fourth employee, Kara Borie, Harris' former congressional spokeswoman, was contacted by investigators last month but it is unclear whether she was interviewed.

1. So, this investigation happens after she won the GOP nom, right?

Are Jebby and W wanting to "put her down" politically because she knows too mauch and she's gone totally flaky? :tinfoilhat:
