| Quote (stevestory @ May 20 2013,20:11) | | Quote | Veteran election lawyers say an FBI inquiry would be unusual in a typical campaign finance case. But the controversies surrounding the Bachmann campaign have been anything but typical, with ex-staffers turning on one another and providing dueling affidavits on a range of legal and ethical questions. One source familiar with the FBI inquiry said an agent from the bureau's public integrity section expressed interest in campaign finance allegations contained in a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint brought by whistleblower Peter Waldron, a Florida pastor who worked on the Bachmann presidential campaign in Iowa. The allegations in Waldron's FEC complaint in January focus on Bachmann's top lieutenants, rather than on Bachmann herself. One allegation suggests secret payments to Iowa state Sen. Kent Sorenson, a Milo Republican who served as Bachmann's campaign chairman before the 2012 Iowa caucuses. Another is an allegation of improper payments from Bachmann's independent political organization, MichelePAC, to longtime Bachmann aide Guy Short, then serving as the campaign's national political director.

I don't see the relevance - it says MichelePAC, not MichellePAC.
