I'm a fan of both Fieger and Spence but (none / 0) (#8)

what's the defense here, that Fieger and Johnson didn't know it was illegal to reimburse employees for political donations?  Seems unlikely, doesn't it?  Fieger's run for office himself, so it's hard to argue he didn't know the rules.  I hope they're not convicted, but I'm scratching my head trying to figure out the argument. Over-zealous, out-of-proportion prosecution of political enemies, unfortunately, isn't a convincing defense if the crime was actually committed.

Anybody know?
