Connecticut governor Dan Malloy has been under FBI investigation for violating the campaign finance laws by illegally sneaking hundreds of thousands of dollars into his re-election campaign in 2014. Now we learn that there is another investigation targeting the governor and his inner circle. This time the investigation centers on a close friend, major campaign contribution bundler and construction contractor who has a number of suspect contracts with state municipalities. If you want to hear the details, the story is here.
What amazes me, however, is that Malloy is the head of the Democrat Governor's Association and heads their efforts to get more Democrats elected. He is in roughly the same position that Chris Christie held at the time that the Bridge scandal first erupted. There are two major differences, however. There was no evidence that Christie had any involvement with the bridge mess while according to media reports there was direct involvement by Malloy. Second, the media went crazy covering the Christie story, while there is almost no mention whatsoever of the Malloy mess.
