Former State Superintendent Tony Bennett left detailed fundraising lists on Department of Education computers. Whether he broke the law or was merely careless is under investigation. Meanwhile, the files are public due to a Freedom of Information request by reporter Tom LoBianco of the Associated Press.

Oops! Diane- that’s an understatement.

it would be a clear violation of federal law were it on a Congressional computer. I know staffers who have both governmental and campaign roles. They have two separate Blackberries. If they are picking up a check for the campaign they do NOT do so on Federal property. Apparently, regardless of how they now try to spin it, Bennett and his co-conspirators (it is a conspiracy when two or more people cooperate with an intent to violate the law, whether or not they succeed in doing so) didn’t think the laws applied to them or that they would get caught.
That the material was STILL on government computers months after Bennett was turned out by the voters and his successor was in office show that not only were they criminal, they were criminally stupid as well.
