Bachmann’s pardon-gate: More about her letter withdrawing pardon request for Petters associate Vennes

Frank Vennes Jr., a major financial contributor to Minnesota 6th District Congresswoman Michele Bachmann — as well as other Minnesota Republican candidates and causes — may be innocent until proven guilty, but Bachmann has already convicted him and thrown him under the campaign bus.

Barely a week after Vennes’ home was raided on Sept. 24 by federal agents in connection with the massive, billion-dollar fraud investigation of Tom Petters, the Stillwater Republican withdrew a letter of support for a Presidential pardon she had written for Vennes about a year ago.
