“Holder Asked to Overrule Donsanto, Open Criminal Probe of Chamber 527”

BNA Money & Politics Report offers this very interesting report ($), which begins: “Two political watchdog organizations March 16 called on the Obama administration’s Justice Department to reverse the decision of a key DOJ official, who rejected a request to investigate the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for alleged campaign finance violations four days before the end of the Bush administration. Heads of the watchdog groups Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and the Campaign Legal Center wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder regarding the Chamber’s actions in providing $3 million in funding to the November Fund, a so-called Section 527 political organization which operated during the 2004 presidential election.”
