Articles refute ProPublica article accusing consultants of misdeeds. In fact, they point out how they were trying to prevent them.

I had mentioned this article a few days ago, which appears on Huffington Post, as well as ProPublica:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/19/vote2reducedebt_n_6901058.html, where it claims

Founded in May of last year, Vote2ReduceDebt raised its nearly $3 million almost entirely from Davis, and spent just about all of it. Its filings with the Federal Election Commission list ads, phone banks and rallies for candidates in tight races, including Joni Ernst in Iowa and Cory Gardner in Colorado.

and…

Patrick Davis, 47, was a one-time political director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, a professorial type who has worked on dozens of national and local campaigns. Hill, also 47, is a gregarious Fort Worth native known in the trucking industry for inventing a trailer that dries peanuts during transport.

The allegations of fraud started in dueling memos that went to the older Davis and the group’s board of directors. Hill claimed Patrick Davis was faking expense reports and trying to award contracts to phantom companies. Davis’ camp said Hill was hatching a plan to defraud the oilman out of $4 million, and alleged the PAC’s attorney may have been in on a cover-up.

But not so fast. Since that article came out, at least two articles have been written with an opposing point of view, which completely contradicts what the ProPublica Article notes, and accuses ProPublica of being a Soros funded venture. :

Appears that with background, which Pro Publica  conveniently chose to leave out, Federici was upset because she had been blowing the whistle on corruption and had been ignored.   Things got a lil dicey after Patrick Davis and Italia had blown the whistle on the NASCAR dream and there were concerns that the legitimate work that Person to Person PAC had done on behalf of V2RD had been ignored at best or lied about behind the scenes.

So  after Randy disclosed this plan to Federici and Davis, Federici contacted multiple law firms and got opinions about how to unravel Randy’s plan. On June 25 Cleta Mitchell and Federici took the information to the PAC’s counsel Chris Gober. Rather than act upon the information presented in an impartial or even-handed way, Gober was in no hurry to bring the info to the board, and did not try to set a board meeting for Patrick to present the information. In an effort to get the info to the board and Mr. Ken Davis and to bypass Gober, Patrick Davis wrote an affidavit and emailed it to the board.

Read that here.

Which side do you believe? Go ahead and read them both, and let us know.

  1. Davis and Arends have been known liars so anything said by either should not be believed

  2. Patrick Davis is known for buttering up potential candidates and milking them for whatever he can while looking for a better opportunity. When that opportunity arises, he leaves the poor suckers high and dry. The man lacks integrity.

  3. This is a classic example of too much money in politics today. They spotted a pot of money and decided to wet their beaks.

    1. Money isn’t the issue. Lack of character on the part of political parasites is.

    1. As I said in another thread, do you have the marbles to make an accusation or are you just adept at making innuendos?

  4. PATRICK DAVIS IS NO RELATIVE OF MINE AND I WISH WHO EVER IS WRITTING THIS ARTICLE, WOULD QUIT USING MY NAME IN VAIN,
    KEN DAVIS
    FORMER PENNINGTON COUNTY COMMISSIONER

  5. THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION OF NAMES.
    THERE USED TO BE ANOTHER KEN DAVIS, THAT DIDN’T PAY HIS BILL, HE NO LONGER LIVES IN THE AREA.

    NO, NO
