From Lois Lerner at the IRS to the Wisconsin John Doe investigations to the work of the Texas Ethics Commission, there are many examples of liberals using campaign finance rules to target their ideological opponents.
The latest story comes from Montana:
In Helena, the state’s appointed Commissioner of Political Practices is using his Montana subpoena power and budget to punish conservative politicians and nonprofits. He alleges conservative nonprofits and candidates illegally coordinated their activities in 2010 campaigns.
One of his targets, former state Senate Majority Leader Art Wittich (R-Bozeman), will go to a jury trial in March.
Wittich says he’s not only innocent, but will pull back the sheets on what he calls “blatant political thuggery” by a Democrat eager to take down Montana conservatives.
