GOP demands Investigation into AIG donations to NY Democrats

I don't care about the bonus issue, I care about the convergence of the Democratic party and AIG. The Democrats hysterical reaction is meant to provide a smokescreen so people do not look to carefully. With that said lets overturn the rocks and see what we find.

ALBANY, N.Y (AP) -- New York's Republican Party says the Democrat-controlled state government is ignoring calls for an investigation into a $100,000 donation to the state Democratic Party from American International Group days before officials initiated the bailout of the insurance giant.

State Republican Chairman Joseph Mondello accuses Democrats of a duck-and-cover response to disclosure of the donation, first reported Thursday by The Associated Press.

''Several public calls have been issued for a thorough investigation into the matter, yet the all-Democrat state government continues to stonewall and refuses a thorough and independent investigation,'' Mondello said. ''The appearance of this type of gross impropriety demands a thorough investigation, particularly now, as Democrats in Albany and Washington, D.C., are reaching into the wallets of taxpayers to fund massive bailouts and executive pensions while average families struggle to survive.''

Campaign finance records show AIG donated $100,000 on Aug. 29 to the Democrats, by far its largest donation to the party since at least 1999. Insurance Superintendent Eric Dinallo said he started negotiating with AIG and federal officials days later, but the governor hadn't been informed.

The democratic party is thick as thieves with all of this.
