Crapo campaign used D.C. condo 81 times at no cost

U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, has admitted to federal election officials that he used a lobbyist-owned Washington, D.C., townhouse 81 times over a four-year period at no cost, including as recently as February.

The new details from Crapo's re-election and leadership committees came in a response to a Federal Election Commission inquiry.

The committees conducted an internal review of use of the townhouse and "fully disclosed to the FEC the date and purpose of each use of the space – not just those named in the FEC complaint filed last month – as well as the corresponding reimbursements," said Sam Neel, counsel for the committees.

"Senator Crapo strives to adhere to all FEC laws and regulations and has worked quickly to correct the oversight that occurred regarding the use of the townhouse,” Neel said, in a statement provided on behalf of Crapo.

Idaho's District No. 2's not-so-finest. Ever so slightly finer than Dist. No. 1's though, IMO.

use of the townhouse”? Well isn't that special. It seems cheetolini drained a little of that swamp into Crapo's office.
