Indiana U.S. Attorney Helps Republican Donor (Tim Durham)

Timothy M. Morrison, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, a left-over of the Rove Republican Racket, has done a huge political favor for a prominent Republican donor, Timothy S. Durham (pictured), who allegedly ran a million-dollar Ponzi scheme.

He's letting Durham keep his cash and valuable property.

The Associated Press reports:

The government no longer is suing to seize bank accounts and other assets of an Indianapolis businessman whom it alleged was operating a Ponzi scheme. The U.S. Attorney's office in Indianapolis...filed papers to dismiss a lawsuit to seize property belonging to Timothy Durham, including a 30,000-square-foot home on Geist Reservoir and a 2008 Bugatti sports car. Acting U.S. Attorney Tim Morrison says he dropped the case because he's been assured Durham will not try to shed the assets. FBI agents last raided the offices of Durham businesses, Obsidian Enterprises of Indianapolis and Fair Financial of Akron, Ohio. A recent Indianapolis Business Journal story questioned whether Fair Financial could repay people who bought nearly $200 million in investment certificates.

We think Morrison dropped the case for seizure simply because Durham is a prominent Republican donor who has supported the Rove-Bush-Cheney machine. How else can Durham continue donating if his accounts are frozen?
