The chairman of North Carolina’s Republican Party and a secretive big-money donor are facing federal bribery and wire fraud charges. They’re accused of trying to sway an insurance regulator’s decisions in favor of the donor’s insurance companies

State GOP Chairman Robin Hayes and investment firm founder Greg Lindberg are among four people charged in federal indictments unsealed Tuesday.Hayes and a Lindberg spokesman didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Federal prosecutors said Hayes, Lindberg and two Lindberg associates promised or gave Republican Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey millions of campaign dollars to do things Lindberg wanted, such as seeking the removal of a deputy insurance commissioner responsible for examining Lindberg’s Durham-based business.

Lindberg has given more than $5 million to North Carolina candidates, party committees and independent expenditure groups.

Republicans said were law & order party, more like the corruption party

Republicans. I’m not even shocked at all. One big criminal enterprise. I’ll never vote for another one. Not even local elections!

I recall back in the 1950's to 1970's the Democrats were the party of corruption. But nowadays it is almost 10 to 1 in favor of the GOP.
