The very latest from Raleigh.
The backstory: No way is the N.C. Demcratic Party going to go down with the Easleys. Hence the strawman charge that the party “funneled” money to Easley. Only no more or no less than any other party in existence. The idea is to “clear” the party of this charge, focus all attention on the Easleys’ money-grubbing, and hope the scrutiny of the larger pay-to-play kleptocracy fades away. Again.
Unlikely you say? Look how well it worked with Jim Black.
Bonus Programming Note: Carolina Journal Uber-editor Rick Henderson will pop up on WBT around 4pm today to ‘splain it all some more.
