Lindsay Beyerstein dug a bit deeper into the Republican National Committee’s expense report–the one with the “meals” at the lesbian bondage-themed nightclub–and found some questionable categorization.
Listed on the report in the category of “office supplies” are purchases from a New England winery and a Capitol Hill liquor store, as well as more than $3,800 from a Florida clothing store. The category of “meals” also seems to extend to the sartorial, with a $450 purchase from a high-end Manhattan boutique — one that has no restaurant or take-out shop on the premises — falling into that category, as listed on the RNC’s reports to the FEC. That purchase, as well as one for more than $500 from the Florida clothing store, are attributed to RNC Deputy Finance Director Debbie LeHardy, who, according to the report, was reimbursed for them.
Read the whole story here and you can find out about the “meals” at a fly fishing store and a costume jewelry/hand bag/make-up boutique. So good.
